DIY First Aid Kit | Essential Oils

I am so excited that our big camping trip is only a couple weeks away! And while I'm completely nervous about how Ryder will do this year, there is definitely so many things I am looking forward to. Let's name a few of those, the beach, having no plans, exploring the sand dunes, and spending four solid days with my boys. What I'm not looking forward too is the bugs, the unknown weather, and the unpredictable toddler mood swings in the middle of a campsite. At least I can be prepared for some of those!

This year I gave our first aid kit a complete makeover. I made so many roller bottles and sprays with essential oils! And I spent nearly half of what I have spent of chemical-filled products so many times before. I wanted to share with you what I put in our first aid kit and how I made each item.

I found this adorable first aid kit at Target. The kits are not only the perfect size to fit into luggage, the car glove box, a diaper bag, but they are made so that you can build your kit the way that you want it built! They also sell matching band-aids! Of course those flew into my cart just as fast as the kit. I purchase all of my glass roller bottles and spray bottles at Abundant Health. Their shipping can get very pricey so I recommend buying what you need and a little extra. That way you aren't making as many smaller orders.

1|tummy - thieves + peppermint
2|headache - frankincense + peppermint + lavender
3|bug bites - lavender + purification

4|sinuses - lemon + lavender + peppermint

5|calming - lavender + cedarwood + valor

6|pains - Deep Relief

We use almond oil as a carrier for all of our roller bottles.

1|sunburns - lavender + peppermint + apple cider vinegar

2|ouch spray - can be found in this post
3|bug spray - can be found in this post

4|hand sanitizer - thieves + lemon + witch hazel

Of course I also pack a few single oils for different purposes.

Eucalyptus Radiata | supports respiratory system health

Lemon | add flavor to water, energizing
TummyGize | relax and calm symptoms of upset tummies, pre-diluted for children

SniffleEase | ease respiratory irritations, pre-diluted for children

A few other items that I recommend adding to your first aid kit are tweezers, cotton balls, tissues, gauze, and any other emergency items or medicines that you or your family may need.
