This recipe is perfect for the winter months, when the frigid air can cause cracks and dry spots on your skin. This homemade cream will make your nails healthier and your skin moisturized. It can also be applied to your lips, hands or any area where dry spots appear. The ingredients for this recipe include seven drops of lavender essential oil (Myrrh oil can also be used as a substitute), two tablespoons of Shea butter, one tablespoon of fractionated Coconut Oil, and one tablespoon of beeswax.<\/p>\n
The Shea butter, fractionated coconut oil and beeswax should be combined in a glass container. Then the mixture should be put in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water which is boiling. Stir the mixture for about five minutes, until it melts, then take it from the heat and allow it to sit for about three minutes. Put in the essential oils and then stir, and once this is done you will want to place it into a container and let it harden, which will take about three hours.<\/p>\n
Heating pads make a wonderful gift, especially during the winter months as they can promote relaxation while soothing muscles which are sore. When combined with essential oils such as lavender they will provide aromatherapy. For a basic heating pad, you will need three cups of rice or flaxseed, lavender oil and a dress sock or tube. You would place the rice or flaxseed into the sock or tube, tie it into a knot, then place it in a microwave for three minutes and then throw in two drops of essential oil.<\/p>\n
