Ditch the dryer sheets and get soft, fresh-smelling clothes with these 100% natural, reusable wool dryer balls.

If you have decided to remove as may toxic chemicals from your home as possible, here is a great place to start.

Dryer sheets are coated with a layer of chemicals that make laundry softer and eliminate static. Those chemicals are designed to adhere to the fabric for an extended period of time, which are slowly released onto our skin and into the air.  Most of commercially available cleaning solutions contain chemicals that are known to contain carcinogens and neurotoxins. They also contribute to asthma by irritating the respiratory tract, and cause headaches, rashes, and other allergic reactions.

25 drops each, Tea Tree, Lemon grass, and Peppermint essential oil.

15 drops Rosemary essential oil

10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil

Do you have the month-long cold that is going around? The cough that never ends? Using essential oils can be an added helpful benefit with congestion relief without the side effect of prescriptions and OTC medications. These essential oils can be combined in a diffuser, or using the homemade shower melt recipe below.

10 drops Eucalyptus

7 drops Peppermint

5 drops Tea Tree

Another essential oil to add is Oregano. Oregano is a powerful antiviral oil that can help with congestion. It mostly helps with upper respiratory ailments. Oregano is great for mixing and matching with other essential oils. Some combinations include oregano and peppermint, and oregano and eucalyptus.

Essential Oil Shower Melt

What you need

• 1 cup corn starch
• ½ cup baking soda
• 10 drops Peppermint oil
• 10 drops Eucalyptus
• Large bowl & whisk
• Silicone cube tray
• Spray bottle with water

Method

1. In a large bowl, dump in and whisk the corn starch, baking soda, eucalyptus and peppermint oil.
2. Get the spray bottle and start spritzing water into the bowl. While spritzing, mix the powder with a spoon.
3. Make sure not to add a lot of water: just enough to get the ingredients to form a shape without falling apart.
4. Now stuff the little molds you’ve gathered into a silicone cube tray and leave it to set for an hour or two in the refrigerator.
5. Once set, carefully remove from the silicone tray and store in a large mason jar.
6. To use, toss one on the shower floor near the drain. The heat and pressure of the shower will melt the shower melt, releasing the refreshing scent of peppermint and eucalyptus into the air.

These essential oils are great for making your own natural skin care products.

Frankincense

Frankincense Essential Oil has been noted in dermatology to help heal minor blemishes, reduce acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and soothe dry skin and rosacea. For a moisturizer, add 4 drops frankincense to 2 tbsp of your favorite carrier oil or base moisturizing cream. Mix together and apply evenly over face.

Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium  has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Mix 20 drops Geranium with 1 oz carrier oil and use to battle problems such as acne, oily skin, eczema and dermatitis.

Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Carrot Seed Oil is known for its healing and regenerative properties. It helps reduce the appearance of aging and is great for fine lines and wrinkles.  Combine 3 drops with 1 tbsp jojoba oil and rose hip seed oil for an easy face serum. This oil also works well with Frankincense and Geranium

Stuffy nose in the office? Feeling under the weather?  The combination of Thyme and Eucalyptus inspires deep, rejuvenating breathing while Lime helps inspire a positive mood.
