Breath Spray with dōTERRA Oils

Breath Spray with dōTERRA Oils

One of the many benefits of essential oils is their ability to add unique flavor to everyday life. Essential oils taste great in recipes, but can also be used to freshen your breath. Create your own natural breath spray with these two easy steps and carry the power of these oils with you wherever you go.

A few oils we suggest for this DIY are Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon Bark. Each of these oils has internal benefits and provides a tasty refreshing burst of flavor.

Depending on your preference, each oil provides something unique. Peppermint essential oil has a clean, fresh and minty flavor, while Spearmint oil is minty, slightly fruity, and softer than Peppermint, and Cinnamon oil takes on a warmer, spicy flavor. Try all three, or get creative and make your own combination with other oils safe for internal use.

Ingredients
5 mL glass spray bottle
3–5 drops essential oil
Distilled or filtered water

Instructions

  1. Place 3–5 drops of essential oil into your spray bottle
  2. Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water
  3. Shake well to combine and spritz in mouth for a refreshing burst of flavor

Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece with dōTERRA Oils

Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece with dōTERRA Oils

For a rustic and beautiful fall table centerpiece, fill a hollowed pumpkin with autumn foliage and cut flowers. Use a few drops of Cinnamon and Clove oils to keep your water fresh and your flowers vibrant.

Items needed
1 pumpkin
1 block floral foam
Foliage and flowers for arranging
2 drops Cinnamon Bark oil
4 drops Clove oil
Optional: florist’s tape

Instructions

  1. Carve a hole around the stem of the pumpkin about the size of your floral foam block.
  2. Using a spoon or your fingers, scoop out as much of the pumpkin’s seeds and fibers as possible.
  3. Fill a wide bowl with water, adding the Cinnamon and Clove oil. Set foam block on surface of the water and allow to soak until wet all the way through. Trim the foam block to fit inside of your pumpkin.
  4. If needed, secure foam in place with florist’s tape.
  5. Arrange foliage and flowers as desired, trimming stems at an angle so that they are sharp before pushing firmly into foam.

Tips: If you intend to keep the arrangement out longer than a day or two consider using an upcycled yogurt or similar plastic container in the pumpkin with the foam placed inside so you can refresh with additional water and a few drops of oil as time goes on.

Autumn Pinecone Firestarter

Autumn Pinecone Firestarter

Ingredients:

  • Soy wax or beeswax
  • Pinecones
  • Cinnamon Bark essential oil
  • Clove essential oil
  • Wild Orange essential oil
  • String for dipping into wax
  • Colored crayons (optional)
  • Salt (optional)

Instructions:

Cut the string long enough to use for dipping the pinecone into the wax and tie a knot at the top of the pinecone.* In a double boiler or a metal bowl resting in pot of water, melt two to three crayons along with enough wax to coat your pine cone. Add essential oil; the more drops you put in, the stronger the scent will be. Holding the string, dip the pinecones and set them on wax paper to dry. Keep dipping and drying to create a thick layer of wax on the pinecones. Coat with salt immediately after the last wax coat, if desired.

Tips:

Depending on the salt, the flames of the starters will burn a certain color (Epsom salts, white flame; table salt, yellow flame; salt substitute, violet flame). *Note: After you are done dipping you pinecone into the wax, leave one inch of wax-covered string to serve as a wick for easier lighting.
