Save money, live healthier.
High quality essential oils have a bit of reputation for being expensive. Let's explore how these little bottles can actually help you reduce your monthly household spending while reducing the toxins in your home.
COST PER DROP
I get it. These little bottles aren't cheap. But when you break down the cost per use, that changes things. When it comes to essential oils, a little goes a long way. My most used oils last me from 1.5 to 4 months!
For example, Lemon is my most commonly used oil. I use it almost daily — in diffuser blends, as part of my all-purpose cleaner, on my wool dryer balls to freshen laundry, and to remove anything sticky. A bottle of Lemon oil (15 mL or 250 drops) costs $12.75 CAD, with a wholesale account. That's 5 cents per drop and it lasts me over a month.
To make my go-to all natural all-purpose spray you need a half cup of vinegar, two cups water and 20 drops of Lemon or Tea Tree (aka Melaleuca) oil. If I use the name brand vinegar and use Tea Tree oil, a bottle of my all-natural cleaner only costs me $2.10. Compare that to the store bought natural cleaner I used to buy. The cheapest I could find it is $4.50. Over time this adds up!
GREENER CLEANING
Buying all natural cleaners for your home really adds up. I mention my all-purpose cleaner above, but you can actually make all of your household cleaners with these simple ingredients: baking soda, vinegar, water, and essential oils.
If DIY isn't your thing, doTERRA makes a great multi-purpose cleaning concentrate. The On Guard Cleaner is made with essential oils and other plant-based derivatives. It's safe for the whole family. One bottle lasts my family a couple of months.
FEWER MEDICATIONS TO BUY
Seasonal support. Combine Lemon, Peppermint, and Lavender oils, and diffuse or mix with a carrier oil to apply on the chest.
Head tension. Inhale Peppermint oil.
Occasional muscle aches. Sore from exercising or lifting heavy? Deep Blue is there for you.
Restless sleep. Diffuse Lavender and Frankincense in your bedroom 30 minutes before bedtime.
