And oils for the win!!

For the past several months, I've been battling this crazy rash on my back. I'm pretty sure it's from having an over abundance of gluten in my diet (believe me, it's in almost EVERYTHING). It has been super itchy and red and right along my bra line. 

So. Flippin. Annoying. 

I've literally tried everything, from a combo of different oils to a topical cream prescription from a dermatologist. Yes, even I go to the doc and use medication when it's necessary. 

But nothing has worked. Seriously, it's like the never ending rash. 

Until I tried a weird combo of oils out of desperation...and really, just a shot in the dark! It's not gone yet, but it helps with the itching and it's finally drying out. I use this combo mixed with coconut oil morning and night for sweet, sweet relief: 

  • Peppermint - this is a great cooling oil, so it helps relieve the burning sensation so many rashes can have, especially when you scratch it (and shouldn’t…oops!). It’s also amazing for occasional head and neck tension, and occasional stomach upset! It’s one we use often in our household! 
  • White Fir - this is a great oil for occasional muscle aches and pains, but I started using it thinking my rash may be infected. This is a great oil to help combat infections!! It also has a calming effect, which we can all use every now and again! And I’m sure it helps relax me as I’m trying not to scratch the craziness on my back!!
  • Protective Blend - I use this one because it’s great protection against seasonal and environmental threats, which let’s face it…this stupid rash is some sorta threat against me!! it also supports healthy immune function, as well as the body’s natural antioxidant defenses! The added daily protection doesn't hurt with kiddos running around all summer!
  • Cleansing Blend - This is an awesome blend that helps protect against environmental threats, and is used to help soothe irritations from bug bites and other skin irritants. I’m so glad I added this one to the mix!! I also add this one to my laundry detergent to help ensure my clothes AND my washer are clean!!
  • Lavender - This is a calming oil, both emotionally and physically. It also helps soothe minor skin irritations. I use this one daily for my skin moisturizer, as well as for those unsightly bumps and bruises I get from being so dang graceful!! It was definitely one of the first oils that I started using on this stinkin’ rash!
  • Melaleuca - This is an amazing oil for its cleansing effect on the skin. It’s great for those occasional skin irritations due to rashes, so it was also one of the first oils I used on this rash. I also use it after shaving to keep my sensitive skin bump-free!! It’s a great one for the occasional skin break-out too!

I'll admit it took awhile to find the right combo, but I'm so glad I kept at it and found what is working for me as it is FINALLY clearing up! 

There are literally so many things for which you can use essential oils. Are you interested in learning more? I'd love to teach you all about these amazing oils and share how they've changed my life!

With love and wellness,
