DIY: Homemade Natural Hand Sanitizer with Essential Oils (Alcohol-Free)

Recently, the FDA announced a new position on antibacterial soap: antibacterial products are no more effective than soap and water, and could be dangerous... Click here to read the full article (Smithsonianmag.com)

Hand cleansers are a convenient solution to clean your hands when soap and water are unavailable, but  traditional hand sanitizers contain isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. These ingredients can be harmful, especially to unsupervised children. Most hand sanitizers contain between 60 to 90 percent alcohol, and it is enough to cause alcohol poisoning if ingested. (According to CNN Health, a 2 ounce bottle of hand sanitizer may contain as much alcohol as four shots of vodka.) The alcohol in hand sanitizers can also be a fire hazard, cause severe skin and eye irritation, and be extremely drying to the skin.

Here is  a very simple solution to this problem–make your own alcohol-free hand sanitizer with only a few ingredients. This homemade version will not only clean your hands, but also moisturize them. :)

How to Make Homemade Essential Oil Hand Sanitizer

What You Need:

• An empty 15 ml essential oil bottle (*Do not use plastic bottle.)
• A spray top  (https://www.aromatools.com/18mm_White_Spray_Top_p/9241.htm)
• Thayers, Alcohol Free Unscented Witch Hazel Toner with Aloe Vera - contain Grapefruit Seed Extract & Vitamin E (buy it on iHERB)
• 5 drops of each Protected blend & Lavender essential oils 

Directions:
1. Fill your glass bottle half-full with Witch Hazel
2. Add essential oils
3. Fill the remaining space in bottle with  Witch Hazel & shake well


*Witch Hazel has medicinal properties of Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Astringent, Moisturizer, Sun-protectant etc. (http://www.livestrong.com/article/122382-benefits-witch-hazel-skin-care/)

* Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E is very nourishing for skin. Using alcohol based hand sanitizer is also drying to the skin. If you have sensitive skin, you must try this alcohol-free sanitizer recipe! 

*Both Protected blend & Lavender essential oils are highly antibacterial as well as antiviral, and smell so lovely! (Lemon, Lime, Melaleuca, work well too.)

*Do not use plastic bottle. 

IMPORTANT: Although there are good essential oils available to consumers, many product claiming to be essential oils often are not pure aromatic extracts and often contain fillers and non-aromatic compounds. Furthermore, there are no current regulatory standards for the descriptive use of the “therapeutic grade” for products labeled as essential oils. You want to get essential oils from the company who owns internal standards for sourcing and testing 100% pure aromatic botanical extracts using independent laboratory analysis in order to meet high standards for both purity and material composition and for accurate product labeling.

How to Make Your Own Natural “Flu Shot”

How to Make Your Own “Flu Shot” with Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

In addition to mercury, flu vaccines also contain other toxic or hazardous ingredients like:
Aluminum -- a neurotoxin that has been linked to Alzheimer’s diseaseTriton X-100 -- a detergent
Phenol (carbolic acid)
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Betapropiolactone - a disinfectant
Nonoxynol - used to kill or stop growth of STDs
Octoxinol 9 - a vaginal spermicide
Sodium phosphate ..... yuck!!!

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/26/flu-vaccine-exposed.aspx)

This is a great recipe for "flu shot" from my friend who used to work at Vanderbilt ER as a nurse:

(Yes this really works! She has been using this method without taking the seasonal flu vaccine.)

Protected Blend - 6 drops

Oregano - 4 drops

Thyme - 4 drops

Melaleuca - 4 drops

Lemon - 4 drops
(OR 3 drops Oregano, 5 drops Protected Blend, 5 drops Melaleuca & 5 drops Lemon)

*Put all in a vegge cap.

*Only therapeutic grade essential oils with "Supplement Facts" on the side of the bottle should be taken internally. 

 "If I was starting to feel sick, I would take a flu bomb capsule 3-5 times per day. A great alternative is the new Protected Blend softgels (not the beadlets). I would also drink lots of lemon oil water. For prevention, I take one occasionally if I'm tired and run down, if I feel like I might be getting sick, or if I was around some sick."

Another method for immune booster:

Protected Blend - 15 drops

Oregano - 15 drops

Lemon - 15 drops

Melaleuca - 10 drops

Fractionated coconut oil - 1 or 2 tsp

*Combine oils in a glass roller bottle and rub the bottoms of the feet daily (if you are sick, apply every 2 hrs). 

Of course, you can diffuse "Protected Blend" with Diffuser for 24 hrs.

For children

• Dilute 1-2 drops of thyme or lemon in 2 tablespoons of carrier oil (e.g., olive oil, fractionated coconut oil) and massage a little on their neck and chest; and
• Put oregano, melaleuca and Protected blend oils on their feet (1 drop of each and apply every 2-3 hours).
• You can also can add 2 to 3 drops of Protected blend and 2 drops Lemon essential oil to a teaspoon of honey for cold or cough relief medicine for children.

Testimonials: 

"Last week my 10 month old grandson tested positive for RSV which is a very serious respiratory virus in babies. I rubbed his feet almost hourly with Breathe and Protected blend. I also, put drops of breathe in a hot shower to steam him and a little drop on his chest. I really believe that it helped him make a quick recovery with no hospital time. Thank you, Ryoko!"

The King of Natural Antibiotics ~ Oregano Essential Oil

Oregano Oil is more effective antimicrobial agent than 18 pharmaceutical drugs:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1088893/MRSA-wiped--OREGANO-say-British-scientists.html 

19 Essential oils have also been proven to kill MRSA (a nasty form of staff infection) which is known as a super bug because of its amazing resistance to antibiotics. Scientists at the University of the West of England in Bristol working with partners in India found that "tiny quantities of Carvacrol, a naturally occurring compound in oregano, is a more effective antimicrobial agent than 18 pharmaceutical drugs it was compared against."

A very popular way to use essential oils is to diffuse them into the air (Click here for more about diffusers to support the immune system and create a feeling of balance and wellbeing). Because essential oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the skin via pores and enter directly into the blood stream. Another common method of application is rubbing them on the bottom of your feet because the pores of the skin there are some of the largest found on the human body. (*Oregano Oil is “hot” oil. Dilution with a carrier oil is highly recommended.)

Essential oils are lipid soluble and are capable of penetrating cell walls, even if they’ve hardened because of an oxygen deficiency. In fact, essential oils can affect every cell of the body within 20 minutes and then be metabolized like other nutrients. No carriers are needed for this process, although it’s common to mix a drop or two of essential oil with a nickel sized drop of carrier oil such as pure fractionated coconut oil if applying topically to a large area or sensitive areas.

Not only can essential oils kill different types of bacteria, but because of their ability to penetrate cell walls they have the distinct ability to kill viruses as well!

So the next time you go to the doctor and it’s determined you have a viral infection just remember there are a myriad of oils that can actually kill the virus. You don’t have to just “drink lots of liquids and get plenty sleep and allow the virus to run its course.” Nor do you have to cover up the symptoms with synthetic medications that often have dangerous side effects just so you can function normally.
*Only therapeutic grade essential oils with "Supplement Facts" on the side of the bottle should be taken internally.

The Powerful Benefits of Frankincense

Frankincense (Boswellia Frereana) - "The King of Essential Oils"

Frankincense is perhaps the most precious of the ancient oils and has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. This is one of "MUST-HAVE OILS." I use this daily as preventative medicine. It's amazing my skin got very smooth too since I started taking Frankincense oils internally! Many of our health conditions are caused by inflammation. Frankincense is highly versatile in uses and benefits, helping build and maintain a healthy immune system, promoting cellular health, and reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It also has very high anti-inflammatory properties, much like (NSAIDS) like Advil, but without any side-effects! 

The most potent frankincense (Boswellia Frereana) comes from the Dhofar region of Oman, and its quality is highly dependent on both the area where it is grown and the timing of harvest. 

Health Benefits of Frankincense & How to Use it:

Anti-inflammatory: Take a couple of drops of Frankincense under the tongue each morning helps to control inflammation in the body (As Prevention, or for Acute/Chronic conditions).*

Anti-aging & Astringent: Apply it topically daily to your skin. Frankincense has properties that firm up loose skin, renew cells, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new wrinkles from forming. Click here to read more about "Frankincense for Skin issues"

Analgesic: Apply it topically daily to helps soothing joints and improving synovial fluid

Antidepressant: Cup and inhale a drop each of Frankincense and Wild Orange then rub your hands behind your ears and again on the back of your neck. Very relaxing and uplifting. 

Antiseptic & Antifungal: Apply it topically daily to help assisting with acne and other skin conditions, cuts and wounds, and to inhibit bacterial growth.

Why & How to Diffuse Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils in your home or office is the perfect way to help you relieve tension, dispel odors, cleanse & purify the air, and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing.When diffusing, essential oils have been reported to support the immune system and create a feeling of balance and wellbeing.

*See this link about how Vanderbilt ER is using diffusers, and its benefits (decreasing stress, improving smell, etc...).  

 

The ER at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, TN got some remarkable results using therapeutic grade essential oils aromatically. Moods were uplifted, the smell of death and sickness was overcome by the uplifting aromas of lemon, lime, wild orange, and Citrus Bliss. 84% of nurses and doctors working at this hospital emergency room agreed that the essential oils contributed to a more positive work environment. Medical Practitioners all over the world are opening their minds to use of essential oils in their practices.

The essential oils are atomized into minute ion particles and active oxygen anions, which are more easily absorbed by the human body than oils diffused by conventional diffusers. Not only does these diffusers reduce bacteria, mold and odors in the air, but these micro-mist particles also benefit those who inhale them. Diffused oils don't just mask odors; they actually alter the structure of the molecules that create odors - rendering them harmless! They also increase the available oxygen in the room and produce negative ions.

Diffusing releases oxygenating molecules as well as negative ions, which kill microbes. Testing at Weber State University proves conclusively that diffusing essential oils kills life-threatening airborne micro-organisms.

Research also shows that cold-air diffusing certain oils may:
- Reduce bacteria, fungus, mold, and unpleasant odors.
- Relax the mind and body, relieve tension, and clear the mind.
- Help with weight management.
- Improve concentration, alertness, and mental clarity.
- Dispel odors.
