Enriching the Soil of Your Life
In the spirit of the do-it-yourself-er and as a salute to the ‘too-frugal-to-buy-it-already-made’, here is how I make my own version of Young Living’s Purification® blend.

I call my version ‘Clean and Fresh’.

Are you looking for an effective essential oils recipe for year-round use in a vaporizer or a diffuser? We have used this with success many, many times as our alternative to antibiotics, in particularly, with respiratory issues.
I am hyper-allergic to antibiotics and so for over 26 years have had to rely mainly on topical essential oils and other natural remedies in my medicine cabinet. I hope this will be of help to you if you also react to antibiotics. (Also, in the last few years, we have discovered elderberry tincture and syrup, and add it to the regimen in case it’s viral).
