Yeah, I've always made a lot of things myself, both to save money and because I enjoy doing so.
Plus, with some basic ingredients, I don't have the need for dozens of different specialized products taking up precious space. ;-)

That's true! I like making one product that does lots of jobs. For example, when I make lotion, I make sure and add lots of antibacterial EO's, that way it can also be used like neosporin. When the kids get a scrape, they put that same lotion on and it keeps it from getting infected. Peppermint and lavender are also soothing for injuries. :)
I do the same thing, for the same reason. ;-)
If you didn't catch it, I also did a post a while back on an effective cure for tick bites and poison ivy, that was the result of an experiment.
We both swear by it, it's worked for everyone I've given it to, and it's also easy and cheap to make. It also only takes a drop or two, so a little goes a long way.
It even brought the burning pain of my husband's bout with shingles down to a dull roar. It didn't eliminate the pain, but it made it bearable.
With kids, if you've got ticks and/or poison ivy/oak in your neck of the woods, and really any biting bugs, you may want to check it out. ;-)
Just went over and read it. Fantastic!! I have to make this!! Thanks for sharing it!
You're welcome! I hope it helps!
