Bathing and soaking for natural sickness and pain relief - DIY - Health - Frugal

Soaking for relief

If you ever feel like you are getting sick or are just aching from a chronic condition or from recent activity this soak works great, I use it to ward off sickness even with my kids, pre teens & teens. I have used it for fevers to but we don't make it as hot if anybody is running a fever.

These soaks have amazing therapeutic abilities for many conditions & they can be used in your wellness routine. great for aching legs & restless leg syndrome as well as for healthy normal detoxing process, for stress, sore muscles, help when you have trouble sleeping, for dry skin, rashes, hives etc. And works wonders for relieving soreness caused by physical activity or fibromyalgia pain, Also great to prevent cold & flu or relief of symptoms also great for the immune system.

3 Tablespoons Raw Coconut oil
5 to 10 drops of Germ-fighter Synergy (Compare to Thieves by Young Living)

These can be used for cold, flu. allergies, stuffy noses etc
Rub generously on chest & back, & on throat if desired
This can also be rubbed on feet & put sock on to help cough & congestion
If you do not have raw coconut oil, you can use regular coconut oil, but raw would be best, or you can use Sweet almond oil or Olive oil for a liquid version.
I tend to make these as needed & have created some unique blends, these can also be used for massage of sore muscles, rubbed on for relaxing & rubbed on tired feet.
