All Natural Bug Repellent

September 5, 2011

This fall before you head out for an autumn hike or camping trip, make sure to pack along TerraShield – dōTERRA’s essential oil blend insect repellent. This is great for people allergic or sensitive to DEET.

Just add a few drops to exposed skin before outdoor activity and you’re covered for 4-6 hours. It’s not sticky, wet and or strong smelling. In fact TerraShield has a nice pleasant scent!

TerraShield is great for pets too. I put 2-3 drops on a bandana and wrap it around my dogs neck to keep pesky bugs away.

I should point out that TerraShield has some known side-effects.  The oils in this insect repellent blend have been shown to lift the mood, enhance circulation, improve lymph drainage, improve alertness and mental clarity and boost immunity, among other things.  Beyond this, TerraShield has no nasty side effects.

Yoga Mat Cleaning Spray

August 30, 2011

A great anti-bacterial cleaner for yoga mats (and any other fitness equipment) is this simple spray:

2 oz. distilled water in aluminum or glass spray bottle
2-3 drops On Guard essential oil

This also makes a great alternative to Lysol spray. Spray door handles, sinks, counter tops and mist in the air to kill germs. It makes a great air freshner too!
