My sickness bomb and Spark, doTerra, and Young Living Comparison

With all the viruses going around, I'm doing what I can do to try to prevent any bad bugs taking and growing in my family. My kids do not go to school, but they are around of kids that do. A couple little girls from our church just came down with chickenpox =/ Immediately I started applying my flu bomb on my kids feet and mine. I take citrus oils daily which is great gentle cleanser.

I have my phone alarm set for every two hours. Every two hours I get my roller where I have made my own blend and apply a few swipes to the bottoms of my little ones' feet. So far, we have not gotten sick. Praying it stays that way!

This is my blend:

20 drops of Shield (OnGuard or Thieves)
10 drops of Oregano
10 drops of Lemon
5 to 10 drops of Melaleuca

I put all these in a  10ml roller bottle and filled it the rest of the way with organic soy food grade oil. Roll a few times on the bottoms of feet and put socks on. That is important esp when applying to a child! They may not mean to but could touch it and get it on their face and eyes. If that should happen, pour some oil, like olive oil, on a towel or paper towel and wipe hands and face. Do not wash with water!

(You can buy the roller bottles at Spark Naturals and if you use my coupon code LYDIANA you will get 10% off your total. )

I have been buying more and more of my oils through Spark. Truly falling in love with this company! I am doing my first ever event in November with essential oils! Really looking forward to it! Originally I was going to represent doTerra but since I feel that Spark oils are very much comparable in quality, yet they give you the price of the doTerra member, without a membership, I decided this is the best company to go with. Its really about selling the product and not trying to recruit members. Still, I LOVE doTerra and they have some blends that cannot be replaced, so I will continue to be a member with them.

Here is a handy comparison chart by createdtofly.net 

I have tried Amend and Pure touch. LOVE Amend more than Deep Blue, but not Pure Touch as much. I would ask them to remove Eucalyptus and add basil. I made a roller with it and added basil and like it much better. Just really don't like the eucalyptus in it. So I will buy doTerra Aromatouch, but Sparks Amend.

Oh, I have also used Shield and love it! Doterra's is pretty much the same, except it has wild orange. Shield seems stronger to me, I don't know why, but feels stronger to me. So I will be buying shield instead.

Another one I have used to is Respire and doTerra's Breath. I have to say, here again, I actually liked Sparks more.

I have yet to try the other blends and as I do I will post here my opinion based on my personal use.

Wild Orange essential oil

Wild Orange is a wonderful oil to use daily. I will pour one to two drops in about a quart jar of water and drink usually about two of those a day. I do drink water without oils throughout the day too! Wild orange quickly became one of my favorite for it's energizing and mood lifting qualities. I think orange flavored water is amazing!

So far that is the only way I use Wild orange daily. I also diffuse occasionally.

This (below) I will have to try next time I make a fruit salad!

Obviously I have have yet a lot of experimenting to do! Having a three  and two year old and a 4 month old doesn't leave much time for play!!!
