Thanks Lora-Joy for letting me guest post on your blog today.  We had so much fun figuring out how to put together this kit.

  

"Stay In The Game" EO Sports Kit

My sister and I developed this kit with inspiration from Rebecca's Athlete's Kit on Camp Wander.  We figured the blends in her kit were a little too potent for teenage boys and we changed it up some with teenagers in mind--specifically my two nephews.  They are involved in soccer, basketball, wrestling, and track.  

We used several of her same blends just diluted, we totally copied some, and we added some of our own.

Here's what we came up with:

Wear and Tear Blend

for muscle pain and repair

10 drops Birch

15 drops Marjoram

15 drops White Fir

15 drops Frankincense

FCO

1/3 oz. roller bottle

(apply 2-3x daily directly on areas of pain)

Muscle Spasms

20 drops Basil

15 drops Lemongrass

15 drops Marjoram

FCO

1/3 oz. roller bottle

(apply to affected area when muscles are cramping or spasming--as needed)

Blister Blend

20 drops lavender

15 drops melaleuca

FCO--fill not quite full

1/3 oz. roller bottle

(apply as needed even to open blister...although using a finger to apply might be less painful) 

Focus Blend

10 drops peppermint

10 drops wild orange

5/8 dram bottle

(inhale/smell as needed)

Breathe EZ

10 drops eucalyptus

10 drops peppermint

10 drops lemon

10 drops melaleuca

5/8 dram bottle

(inhale/smell as needed)

 Cuts and Scrapes Spritzer

3 drops lavender

2 drops lemon

2 drops bergamot

1 pinch epsom salt

witch hazel

4 ml spritzer bottle

(apply as needed to game-time minor injuries)

Burn Spritzer

1 drop lavender

1 drop helichrysum

1 drop geranium

100% aloe vera juice

4 ml spritzer bottle

(apply as needed to burns from the turf, court, knee pads, etc.)

Cool Down

4 drops peppermint

3 drops wild orange

witch hazel

4 ml spritzer bottle

 (apply at half-time or when feeling over-heated...spray on face, neck, joints, down inside jersey and even on feet)

Every teenager involved in some kind of sport will have use for most of these blends.  Choose the blends that work for you and adapt them to your needs.

Here's to happy, healthy sports-minded teenagers as we gear up for back-to-school.

Thanks for stopping by!
