Build A Natural First Aid Kit
With Essential Oils!
A Natural First Aid Kit is simple to put together with essential oils. Whether it is a wound, a sting or sunburn, there is an essential oil that you can use for first aid!
Why Should We Use Essential Oils in Our Natural First Aid Kit?
Essential oils promote and support healing of our body. They have hundreds of
benefits
instead of side effects which is wonderful!
Secondly they are easy and convenient to use. I love that I don’t have to have three sets of products for my
horse,
my
dog
and myself!
Plus, because they have multiple medicinal properties, I can use them for more than just first aid!
Although I have provided several oil options for everything; really if you have ten to fifteen oils in your home you can almost accomplish anything!
Lastly, remember when dealing with any first aid or emergency, we must also address the emotional aspect of what ever is going on! Usually we all need to stay calm and focused during these situations, and essential oils offer the perfect solution.
What Can We Use Essential Oils For in the Natural First Aid Kit?
Almost anything! But here I will focus on the major first aid situations that can be easily addressed with essential oils. Here they are:
• Wounds, Cuts and Scrapes
• Nausea and Vomiting Remedies
• Food Poisoning
• Essential Oil Remedies for Jet Lag
• Essential Oils for Pain
• Essential Oils for Muscles
• Essential Oils for Inflammation
• Trauma and Shock (Emotions)
• Tick Bites
• Poison Oak and Poison Ivy
• First Aid for Bee Stings
• Heat Rash (Prickly Heat)
• First Aid for Burns and Sunburn
• First Aid for Travel, Sea and Motion Sickness
• Spider and Insect Bites
What Essential Oils Do I Keep in My Natural First Aid Kit?
Here are the oils that I use as an essential oil first aid kit. Just click on the oil and it will tell you more information.
• Lavender Essential Oil
• Helichrysum Essential Oil
• Melrose Essential Oil
• Purification Essential Oil
• Di-Gize Essential Oil
• Peppermint Essential Oil
• PanAway Essential Oil
• Valerian Essential Oil
• Thieves Essential Oil
• Valor Essential Oil
• Peace and Calming Essential Oil
• Clarity Essential Oil
• Brain Power Essential Oil
• Trauma Life Essential Oil
• ImmuPower Essential Oil
• Ortho Ease
• Ortho Sport
I keep a small amount of Ortho Sport or Ortho Ease; usually not both. They are great base oils especially when it comes down to any injury related to muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons or joints.
Use ImmuPower or
Exodus II
as natural immune system boosters. Excellent for when a cold or infection is coming on, or has come on!
I also always have
V-6 Vegetable Oil
a pure grade vegetable oil for mixing and diluting if necessary. And
Animal Scents Ointment
or
Rose Ointment
to seal wounds, cuts and scrapes. Both the ointments contain therapeutic grade essential oils and are fantastic!

What Oils do I Use to Deal with the Emotional End of an Accident, Emergency or Injury?
The emotional side of things can be addressed using any of the oils in the
anxiety
or
emotion
sections. But, in each of the First Aid Kits I suggest at least five different oils that deal with the emotional component. This is because it is so important to address the physical and emotional components!
