Young Living has it's own brand of Purification Essential Oil. However, you can easily make your own Purification Blend. I'll call it Fresh & Clean. There are many uses for this oil blend. It's great for deodorizing, air freshener and purifier. It's also great for your skin too!
The blend contains Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavender, Rosemary, Melaleuca (Tea Tree) and Myrtle essential oils.
How to Use Fresh & Clean Essential Oil
1. Air freshener and purifier. Diffuse to eliminate odors and purify the air. If you don't have a diffuser you can also put a few drops on a cotton ball and place in air vents or mix with water to make a spray. This works great in the kitchen for last nights fish dinner or to clean out a smelly car! It helps remove cigarette smells.
2. Insect bites.Put a drop or two on an itchy insect bite for immediate relief. Apply to mosquito bites to stop the itching.
3. Keep fleas away.Make a homemade spray: 1/2 c. Distilled water, 8-10 drops of Fresh & Clean EO, 1 drop of Thieves. Place in a bottle and shake.
4. Skin blemishes.Put one drop of Fresh and Clean on a pimple to help it clear up faster. You can also make a skin moisturizer with Jojoba Oil which is also great for the skin.
5. All NaturalDeodorant.Apply a few drops of Fresh & Clean to your arms pits. It will help to keep you stink free all day! You can also add a drop of Sage EO if you need a natural antiperspirant.
6.Sterilizecuts and wounds.
7. Stinky shoes.Put a few drops on a cotton ball and place in shoes.
8. Diaper Pails. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and place in the bottom of the diaper pail.
8. Insect Repellent.Great for camping! Citronella is a natural insect repellent. Mix with water or alcohol and spray on clothing as a mosquito/bug repellent.
9. Clean your washing machine.Set your machine on rinse cycle and add 2-3 drops of Fresh & Clean. You can also add a few drops to your laundry detergent to get rid of the sour smells, in case you left the clothes in the washer too long.
10. Freshen clothes in the dryer.Add a drop or two to your dryer balls or a damp washcloth to freshen up clothes in the dryer.
11. Germ protection when traveling.Put a few drops on your hands and inhale during a flight. This can help get rid of germs from the recycled air.
12. Wet dog smell. When your dog comes in from the rain, diffuse to remove the smell in your home.
*****Fresh & Clean Homemade Recipe*****
25 drops Citronella
20 drops Lemongrass
20 drops Rosemary
20 drops Melaleuca (Tea Tree)
15 drops Lavender
15 drops Myrtle
Mix all oils together in a dark glass bottle. Mix with 1/2 tsp carrier oil to apply to skin.
(The recipe above makes a very small amount. I always start out small to see how I like the blend and then double or triple the recipe if I will be using it a lot.)
Larger batch (tripled)75 drops Citronella
60 drops Lemongrass
60 drops Rosemary
60 drops Melaleuca (Tea Tree)
45 drops Lavender
45 drops Myrtle
Mix all oils together in a dark glass bottle. Mix one or two drops of the blend with 1/2 tsp carrier oil to apply to skin.
It smells very much like a citronella candle and I used it outdoors in the evening to repel the mosquitoes, I think a few managed to nibble me before I remembered to spray some on but for the most part I didn't get eaten alive. I also diffused it in my infant daughters room and put a few drops on a cotton ball and put in the diaper pail. It seems to have worked for the most part! I'll have to use it a little more to get the full effect of removing odors.
******* Update on Purification Oil Blend *******
I mixed the Purification Oil blend in a small glass spray bottle and sprayed it directly into the diaper pail and it worked a lot better then just putting a few drops on a cotton ball. No more lingering diaper smell in the nursery!
