Essential oil itch soother


Instead of messy, expensive anti-itch salves, try this homemade soother, which can be made for under $1.

Ingredients:
• 1 drop lavender, rose, chamomile, or tea tree essential oil
• Cold water
Directions:
1. Fill a bowl with enough cold water to moisten a small washcloth or cotton pad. Swirl the essential oil through the water; then soak the cloth or pad.
2. Squeeze gently to remove any excess water and apply the cloth to the skin. Hold in place with your hand for as long as possible, or cover with plastic wrap and leave in place for about an hour.
