Here is My Recipe for Washing Fruits & Vegetables

Make your own citrus produce wash – quick & easy and a great way to get more of the harmful toxins, pesticides, and bacteria off your produce.

Here is what I use:

• glass spray bottle (never put essential oils into plastic)
• glass bowl
• funnel
• 10 ounces of purified water
• juice of one lemon
• 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 10 drops grapefruit essential oil
• 10 drops lemon essential oil
• 10 drops wild orange essential oil

Mix lemon juice, baking soda, and essential oils in a bowl, add cup of vinegar, mix well until baking soda is dissolved, add purified water, mix well, pour into glass bottle. Your produce wash is ready!

Spray your fruits and vegetables with produce wash, let sit for 30 seconds, then rinse well with water. Use produce brush if possible for certain fruits and vegetables.

Enjoy your fruits & veggies!

LOVE TEA – TRY THIS!

Note: All recipes use 100% certified pure tested grade essential oils labeled for INTERNAL use. Do not follow recipes unless you have essential oils labeled with a supplement facts box indicating that the essential oil is SAVE to use an internal supplement.

Did you know that you would have to drink 28 cups of peppermint tea to get the same therapeutic benefits as putting one drop of Peppermint Oil into a cup of hot water?

Essential Oils are 50-70 times more powerful than used in herbal form, so if you love drinking tea and want to achieve certain health benefits, try 100% Certified Pure Tested Grade Essential Oils instead of the custom tea bags. Not only does it have amazing health benefits but it is also cheaper than buying herbal tea! One 15ml bottle of essential oil contains about 250-300 drops which makes a minimum of 250 cups of tea (more if you just dip a toothpick in the essential oil and then swirl it in your cup of hot water).

To stay with the peppermint tea example, one bottle of doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil is about $29.33 retail and it will make minimum 250 cups of tea, that’s only $0.12 per cup of tea of amazing peppermint tea!!

Just imagine how much good
you can do for your body
— with so little.

See below some of my tea suggestions. Remember one drop is more than enough, often it is better to just dip a toothpick into the essential oil bottle and swirl in a cup of hot water. (Always read and adhere to label instructions of your essential oils. Do not use internally if not labeled as a nutritional supplement!)
