Sprays

Sprays are not typically broken down into age groups. I created sprays that will work for all ages. However, you will find that the Soothing Throat Spray includes age groups because the spray is applied directly to the throat and the concentration works best when adjusted according age.

BUG OFF SPRAY

Designed to be used for clothes and air, hair and shoes, this blend is great for camping, hikes, and travel. Take it on trips for effective, nontoxic bug protection. Use caution using peppermint with kids under the age of 6. You can replace the peppermint with cedarwood if using with children under the age of 6.

YIELD: 2-ounce glass spray bottle

10 drops peppermint or cedarwood essential oil

5 drops lemongrass essential oil

¾ cup distilled water

DIRECTIONS: Add essential oils and distilled water to spray bottle. Shake to mix blend completely. Spray blend on clothes, shoes, ankles, and in hair to avoid pesky bugs. Also great around the house to keep the bugs out. Take care to avoid the eyes.

RESTFUL SLEEP SPRAY

The Restful Sleep Spray is designed to be sprayed on pillows, not people. Lavender and vetiver are a powerful combination for a restful sleep. Other oils to incorporate include cedarwood, clary sage, and Roman chamomile. Witch hazel evaporates more quickly than water and can be substituted.

YIELD: 2-ounce glass spray bottle

1½ ounces distilled water or witch hazel

10 drops lavender essential oil

5 drops vetiver essential oil

DIRECTIONS: Add water or witch hazel to spray bottle. Add the essential oils, shake, and spritz. Spray on pillows, comforters, and in the air before bed for a restful sleep.

SOOTHING THROAT SPRAY

Peppermint and ginger will provide rapid scratchy throat relief. Lemon essential oil is a powerful immune supporter. Lavender helps to soothe.
