My husband and I have become huge fans of doTERRA (here is the link in case you are wondering about essential oils: www.doterra.com). In fact, we've replaced just about everything in our medicine cabinet with doTERRA essential oils. We've treated fevers, stomach bugs, a dog bite, my asthma, migraines, and anxiety all with these oils. I'm more into "all natural" than I ever have been. With that said, I've either made or will make all of our own soap, body wash, lotion, hand sanitizer, bath salts, chap stick, deodorant (which lasts 48hrs and is the best I've ever used), throat spray, throat lozenges, bug spray, sunscreen, and play-Doh. I will eventually post all of these recipes, but I'll start with the one that the kids really enjoy.
wild orange aromatherapy play-doh
-2 cups flour
-1 cup salt (I use fine sea salt)
-2 cups colored water (I used red/yellow food coloring)
-1 table spoon oil (grape seed, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil, or safflower oil will work)
Combine all ingredients over medium heat. Stir over medium heat until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool on parchment paper. Once cooled kneed in 6-7 drops of your favorite essential oils. In this case, we used wild orange essential oil (we only use doTERRA oils because they are cptg). We've also made lavender play-Doh using red/blue food coloring and lavender essential oil. The girls love both.
