It’s officially that time of year again… tick season is here. 🌿☀️ (post is for use on humans!)

Before heading outdoors, many families are turning to plant based essential oils to help support a more natural approach to outdoor protection and home wellness.

⚠️ Always research essential oils carefully before using them around pets, children, or inside the home. Some oils can be harmful to animals, especially cats and small pets. Proper dilution matters. ⚠️

Wishing you a happy, peaceful, and safe summer filled with sunshine, fresh air, and wild blooming adventures.



Here’s a bottle dilution example for those who do not know how to use essential oils yet:

For a simple 6 oz tick spray:

• Add 1 to 2 tbsp witch hazel
• Fill the rest with distilled water
• Add 15 to 25 total drops of essential oils
• Shake well before each use

Optional: Add 1 tsp carrier oil if using directly on skin for extra dilution support.

For a balanced and effective 6 oz spray, most people use 3 to 5 essential oils total.

Example blend:
• 8 drops cedarwood
• 6 drops tea tree
• 5 drops lemon eucalyptus
• 3 drops clove
• 3 drops thyme

That gives you about 25 total drops, which is plenty for a small spray bottle.

Too many oils can become overpowering on skin, irritating, or simply unnecessary. A few well chosen oils work best.

Always patch test first and research pet safe oils before using around animals.

Because mullein grows in abundance on our property, I make my own smoking blends for respiratory support. I also roll these little “smudge sticks” to light and inhale the healing smoke when needed.

How I make them:

Take smaller mullein leaves and roll them up as tightly as possible.
Wrap them securely with string from end to end.
Let them dry completely over time, then remove the string (do not burn the string).

When my husband or I are really congested, we light one end, blow out the flame, and inhale the smoke. It works amazingly well at loosening and clearing phlegm from the chest.
All natural, perfectly safe when used this way, and very effective.
