Doterra Copy Cat Essential Oil Recipies (Immortelle/Salubelle, Purify, Past Tense, Ice Blue/Deep Blue, Clary Calm, On Guard)

I use my oils daily for a host of reasons but collecting oils can become expensive in the short term and purchasing pre made blends can lend itself to be outside of the monthly budget. That is why I started blending my own. I already had all the oils on hand to refill my blends, so I started experimenting. These are the recipes I created as a substitute that work well for my needs.

It was recommended by an owner of an organic shop who didn't use any chemicals in her home, so I thought I would give it a go. Well it burnt my nasal passages, made me dry reach and my oldest son (8) how has a few household duties to do (like wiping down his bathroom sink, wiping down the dining room table, and kitchen cupboard doors) refused to use it. I also noticed it discoloured the varnish on our table. The second recipe I used was distilled whit vinegar with essential oils. This was far less toxic but still had a strong smell, I also found that it didn't cut through grease and grime and that I would need to a squirt some dishwashing liquid o
