I just recently made a batch of what I call “Miracle Balm” using my essential oils, some organic carrier oils and beeswax. I first started experimenting with making these different things with my essential oils about 6 years ago, just as a way to share them with my family and friends and show them the different ways to use the oils.
My first batch was just beeswax and coconut oil with the essential oils added in, and it was a bit too greasy. So in later batches I would add shea butter or coco butter.
I have fun playing around with the recipe so every batch is a bit different, but the star of the show is always the essential oils that I use. I put at least 4 drops each of Lavender, Panaway, Peppermint, Copaiba, Frankincense and Northern Lights Black Spruce in each little glass jar.
It feels so soothing on your body. My Dad used to rub it on his sore knees and legs and he would always ask me to make him some more when he ran out.
I was so happy to be able to offer him something natural that he would actually use. Like many people, who won’t just use the essential oils topically on their own, he would have no problem rubbing on this balm. So he was getting the benefit of the oils but just in a different form. And he said it really helped him.
And when you really take a deep dive into all of the essential oils I put into the balm, you can see why! Just look up the many uses of Frankincense or Helichrysum.
We are so lucky to have such easy access to these beautiful essential oils that can support our bodies in so many different ways. When you take a look at where these oils come from, there is no way we would have access to them, (and be assured of their quality and purity) if it wasn’t for Young Living!
“Frankincense oil comes from the resin of Boswellia carterii trees located in northern Africa, near the Arabian Peninsula. Copaiba essential oil is the product of distilling the gum resin tapped from the Brazilian Copaifera reticulata tree, native to the Amazon region of the country. Helichrysum essential oil, one of the oils in Panaway is from the Helichrysum flower native to coastal locales in places such as France, Italy and Croatia. The delicate flowers bloom in rocky soils before a painstakingly careful harvest. Young Living recently imported rocks to their Dalmatia Aromatic Farm in Split, Croatia, to replicate its preferred environment, where they now cultivate the previously wild-crafted blossoms.” (Information right from the Young Living website)
I tell you all this just to say, how else would you have access to these essential oils if if wasn’t for Young Living?
I know I’m not going over to Northern Africa or Brazil to tap trees to distill into essential oils! These essential oils are precious! And the investments that Young Living has made to ensure that we all have access to pure, ethically sourced, high quality essential oils is pretty incredible, and I am so very grateful!
Here’s my recipe for the “Miracle Balm”. Try making some to give to your family and friends. They will love you for it!
I use organic ingredients:
Beeswax (about a quarter of a cup)
Coconut oil 3/4 cup
Shea Butter 1/2 cup
Melt over low heat
Pour into 2 ounce glass jars and let cool for bit.
Add 4 drops each of Lavender, Frankincense, Panaway, Copaiba, Peppermint and Northern Lights Black Spruce. (All of these essential oils & blends are in the Premium Starter Bundle)
Use a toothpick and give each jar a little stir.
Let them cool off (I put mine in the fridge until they firm up)
Share with your family and friends! Enjoy!
