Diaper Rash Relief

One of the things that I love about my essential oils and the book that I use as my guide is that it is always okay for me to try other mixtures of the oils. For instance, when my one year old, Wren, first started getting diaper rashes I tried the Lavender Essential Oil which is what my book recommended. It did not really make much of a difference so I researched some of the other oils and came up with my own miracle mix! I added 1 smidgen of a drop of Peppermint (I put a little bit on my finger, then dipped it into the Fractionated Coconut Oil) , I drop Melaleuca, 1 drop Lavender and 2 drops Frankincense to 1 Tablespoon of Fractionated Coconut Oil. This mix has worked miracles on Wren's rashes.

One of our first experiences w/ oils was to attempt to get rid of my husbands candida.  Candida is genetic skin condition. It started when he was living in humid New York City several years ago and has been there ever since! It's the worst on his back and neck.  It is red, itchy and can get sore.  When it first showed up he went to a dermatologist that told him to rub some cream on it.  He did and it took a month to start going away and if he missed a day it would come right back!  It got to be too much of a pain, so he quit using it and just figured he'd live w/ it.  We used to scrub it in the shower to try to get rid of it.  It would make it dry up a bit, but it never left.

Before!

So, we started putting melaleuca and oregano on the places where he had the candida.  We applied it once a day right before he went to bed for about 4 days and it went away!  Just like that!  It's been several months and it has not returned.

After 4 applications of melaleuca and oregano!
