Boo Boo Spray

My homemade, all natural recipe blend for boo boos. This mixture is so versatile that we have used it for cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns, bug bites, diaper/butt rash, even deodorant in a pinch, and that is just so far!
Everything used in this spray, excluding the witch hazel, can be purchased through spark naturals. 
Don't forget an extra 10% off with coupon code: Nature
Supplies needed:
2oz spray bottle
20 drops Lavender 
10 drops Geranium
            20 drops Melaleuca (aka tea tree oil)
15 drops Frankincense 
Alcohol-free witch hazel (I prefer Thayer's brand)

Simply add all the essential oils into the 2oz bottle then top off with the alcohol-free witch hazel. Screw the sprayer on and gently shake to blend the EOs. I like to give the bottle a gentle shake each time before I spray. 
I also pour a little of the premade blend into a smaller spray bottle to keep in my purse. 
    Why did I choose these particular oils? 
Lavender - calming & soothing while healing. Just some of Lavender's properties: Antiseptic, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory, Antiviral, Bactericide

GeraniumA popular essential oil in skin products due to its healing properties. Also helps to stop bleeding. Some of geranium's properties include: Astringent, Analgesic, Antiseptic, Disinfectant, Sedative, Tonic and Relaxing. 

Melaleuca - I like to think of it as the natural Neosporin. It has the ability to kill many bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact. Some properties are:  Antimicrobial, Antiseptic, Antiviral, Fungicide, Insecticide. 

Frankincense - Helps to enhance the other oils it is combined with. This is one of my favorite oils as it is helpful for so many things. Some of its properties are: Antiseptic, Astringent, Anti-fungal, Deodorant, Sedative, Cellular Protection and Vasoconstrictor. 
Lavender, geranium & frankincense also help aid in scar reduction.
