Beat the heat with essential oils.
Essential oils can really help during these hot summer days. They are cooling, healing and refreshing.
Try one of these recipes shared with us by Alexandria Brighton, master aromatherapist:
For a Sunburn:
In a 4 oz. spray bottle, mix the following ingredients:
3 oz. distilled water
1 oz. Aloe Vera
4 drops of Tea Tree
2 drops of Roman Chamomile

Spray this mixture on the sunburn for pain relief and to help heal.
When you come in from yard work, or hard play, you can make a cooling and refreshing spritzer:
In a 2 oz. spray bottle, mix the following ingredients:
2 oz. distilled water
12 drops of Neroli 10%, or Lavender or Rose 10% (or a combination of all three)
Refrigerate this and lightly mist on to face and neck when you come in from the heat. This can be emotionally refreshing as well as physically.

30 ml (one ounce) grapeseed oil
12 drops Myrrh (has cooling properties)
12 drops Frankincense
For a refreshing drink, add a drop of peppermint oil to you bottle of water.
