1. A Few Indispensable Essential Oils
For burns, bruises, cuts, bug bites or that annoying summer (or winter)
cold, there are a few essential oils you can always trust in a rush. We suggest
Lavender for soothing burns, scrapes and sun stressed skin.
Purification® for easing itching and relieving cuts and
Thieves® for strengthening the immune system.
2. Keeping Clean
Keep all sizes of bandages and gauze pads in your kit. Once a minor
wound has been cleaned (Young living's Bar Soaps are great for cleansing) and
essential oils applied, it is important to apply a bandage so it can be kept
clean. Have tape and scissors handy for easy application of gauze pads.
3. Soothing Skin
It's hard to stay in the shade on a beautiful summer day and a little
too easy to stay in the sun longer. When you or your little ones has
over-stressed skin, rejuvenate it with Young Living's
Lava Derm® spray.
4. Staying Cool
When you are in the heat for too long, you may need a way to cool down quickly. Ice water with a few drops of lemon, orange, grapefruit or peppermint essential oil can hydrate as well as cool down the body. A few dabs of peppermint oil on your forehead and neck will create a cooling sensation as well.
5. First Aid to the Rescue
Be prepared for major accidents by keeping a first aid manual in your
kit. Hopefully the worst accidents you have to deal with this summer is only
your resident barbequer's singed eyebrows! But in case of an emergency, make
sure you have plenty of first aid supplies.

2 good essential oils for emergency situations. . .
"I had a bad car accident a year ago and hurt my back and a dear friend
dropped in and used
Aroma Siez and
Helichrysum the next day. After two applications the back pain was gone and
has not returned.
Last week I was walking in a mall downtown Calgary and I slipped on something wet and fell. I hurt my right foot that I slipped with. By the time I got on the bus to come home, I was limping my foot was so sore. It was swollen and bruised when I got home.
I used those two oils right away, a little later that evening and before I went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, the swelling was gone, the color was back to normal and the pain was gone.
It is a week later now and still no pain. My house will never be without those two oils." Donna

Healing deep wounds.........
"In my experience with these amazing oils, nothing works better at healing serious, infected sores or wounds like Rose oil and Helichrysum oil.
I would layer these and then coat them with the animal scents ointment which will help to seal in the 2 powerhouse oils I mentioned. Even though the rose and helichrysum are both expensive, they are so worth the results you will achieve-- as they seem to promote healing from the inside out, often resulting in little or no scarring.
I had excellent results using this formula over the summer with a knee wound that was down to the bone." Rachel
Quick Tips. . .
I know, it’s called
Animal Scents, not people scents, but this ointment is a must for every
first aid kit.
The ingredients of Mink oil, lecithin, beeswax, lanolin, sesame seed oil, rosewood, wheat germ oil, palmarosa, patchouli, myrrh, carrot seed oil, Melaleuca alternifoila, rose hip seed oil, geranium and balsam fir essential oils make this the perfect replacement for the triple-antibiotic ointment we grew up with.
LavaDerm cooling Mist is especially formulated from proven ingredients to soothe
and protect damaged skin. The combined power of aloe vera and lavender aid in
cooling and rejuvenating stressed skin after a long day in the hot sun.

Oil and Grease Burns. . .
"Last Thanksgiving as I was taking the 20 lb turkey from the oven, the
foil pan, that was on a jelly roll pan, somehow bent and the hot oil and
drippings spilled onto my bare right foot. I immediately cleaned it off and
doused my foot with the
Lavender oil, put on my sock and shoes and left for a Thanksgiving dinner at
a community room with some friends.
I felt a bit of heat for a short time and then forgot about it. When we returned home in the evening I remembered my burned foot, but when I removed my shoe and sock there was not a sign of a burn, no redness and no pain.
Lavender is great! I didn't know that peppermint was as good for burns, because I love peppermint, too! I am so grateful for the YL oils. Many thanks," Althea D
