Scrapes and Grazes Blend

Sometimes it's good to get back to the basics with essential oils, and one of those wonderful basic uses for Spark Naturals essential oils is first aid care for minor cuts and scrapes.

With summer turning to fall and more time on the playground, we should all keep this mix handy!

Scrapes and Grazes Blend:
-50 drops Spark Naturals Lavender essential oil
-50 drops Spark Naturals Melaleuca essential oil
-10 drops Spark Naturals Helichrysum essential oil (optional)

Combine in an empty bottle with an orifice reducer. You may combine in any quantity as needed, but just be sure to keep the ratio the same! Lavender on its own is also wonderful for minor abrasions.

USES: Put 10 drops of the Blend in water and use to clean the cut. Rub a drop or two of the mix on the unbroken skin around the scrape. You can also place a drop of the mix on the dressing part of the band-aid.

Especially for sensitive children, it is best to avoid applying directly to the broken skin as it can be painful and is not necessary to receive the benefits of the oils.

Don't forget that our Essential 4 Pack features both Lavender and Melaleuca along with Lemon and Peppermint Essential Oil. It's a great place to get started with essential oils!
