I have been using essential oils for over 19 years and I absolutely LOVE them!
Essential Oils and Blends can be used in literally thousands of ways. Part of the joy of Essential Oils is learning new ways to use your collection, creating your own recipes by mixing oils, and sharing with friends!
If you’re new to Essential Oils, REVIVE recommends you try as many of these Top 50 as you can and see what you love most. We also recommend you try things out for 10 days before you decide if you love them. Essential Oils & Blends are most effective when used regularly as a part of everyday living.
1. DRINK MORE WATER AND LESS SUGARY DRINKS. Add 1-2 drops of Lemon to 12 ounces of water or sparkling water. Shake well. This tastes great, reduces your cravings for sugary drinks, helps your body flush out toxins, and boosts your energy. And this is good for the whole family. Great for mornings or instead of an afternoon coffee.
2. SHOWER LIKE YOU’RE AT A SPA. Flick a few drops of Essential Oil onto each wall in your shower and your shower door/curtain. Roll up a small hand towel, lightly soak in water, and add a few drops of Essential Oil onto the towel. Place the towel on your shower caddy, as close to head level as you can get it. Turn on your shower to the hottest and leave it running for a few seconds until the shower steams. Once the shower steams, set the temperature to your desired temperature. Ta-da, you’ve got a steam shower. Try different Essential Oils and see what you love most. Our favorites are Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint.
3. REDUCE ANXIETY AND INCREASE BALANCE. This is one of the most common uses of Essential Oils & Blends. Lavender, and Frankincense, are the Best Essential Oils for Anxiety. Fill your diffuser with water and add 3 drops of one of these Essential Oils. Diffuse for 20 minutes. Any time of day. Add a drop of these Essential Oils to water, or a teaspoon of honey, or 1 drop just under the tongue and consume orally. Blend 3 drops of Lavender with a teaspoon of coconut oil and apply to the bottoms of your feet, rub on your neck, the rims of the ears, or massage into your skin.
4. IMPROVE OR SUPPORT DIGESTION. This is one of the most common uses of Essential Oils & Blends. REVIVE Digest Easy is best. If unavailable, use Peppermint. Diffuse, apply to a warm cloth and place on your stomach, add 3 drops to water or tea or a teaspoon of raw honey, or put 1 drop below your tongue. REVIVE Digest Easy helps reduce gas, bloating, non-chronic indigestion, relieves abdominal spasms, and helps maintain gut health and your gastrointestinal tract. REVIVE Digest Easy is a great compliment to lunch and dinner – take before or after your meal for improved digestion. Use Peppermint if you’ve got gas, constipation, or diarrhea.
5. GET RESTFUL SLEEP. This is one of the most common uses of Essential Oils & Blends. REVIVE Sleep, and Lavender are all great for sleep. Fill your diffuser with water and add 3-6 drops of one of these Essential Oils. Diffuse 30 minutes to one hour before bed time. Another favorite is massaging a few drops into the bottom of your feet, neck, hands, chest, and forehead. One of our other favorites is adding a few drops to a pot of boiling water, and then sitting with your face over the pot and a towel over your head to create a tent effect (this is known as facial steaming and can provide relief for sleep apnea or nasal congestion).
6. UNCLOG SINUSES NATURALLY. Inhaling diffused Peppermint oil helps unclog your sinuses and offers relief from a scratchy throat. Or Diffuse REVIVE Breathe Easy for 20 minutes or rub onto your chest or neck. Or apply 2-3 drops of Peppermint to your temples.
7. TO RELIEVE THE STRESS OF A LONG DAY. If you’re already feeling stressed/anxious or if you know today is going to be a long or stressful day – REVIVE can help. Lavender and Lemon, help with stress. Rub 2 drops directly onto your temples, wrists, or neck. Pour 2 drops into your palm and inhale for 5 minutes. Use in a diffuser. Put a few drops into a scarf or handkerchief and de-stress all day. Use in a steam shower (see #2!)
8. CREATE A NATURAL DISINFECTING SPRAY. Fill a spray bottle with purified water. Add 7-9 drops of REVIVE Immunity Boost (Thieves). Shake. Spray on counters, door knobs, toys, the sink, etc. Or if you’ve Witch Hazel, fill a spray bottle ¼ of the way with Witch Hazel. Add 7-9 drops of REVIVE Immunity Boost (Thieves). Fill the rest with purified water. Shake.
9. CREATE A NATURAL AIR FRESHENER. FOR THE BATHROOM. FOR PETS. Combine 1 cup of distilled water with 8 drops of Lemon in a spray bottle. Shake well! Spray as needed.
10. SOOTHES MUSCLES AFTER A DAY OF WORK OR AFTER A WORKOUT. Mix a few drops of coconut oil with 2 drops of Peppermint in the palm of your hand. Rub wherever you need it.
11. WAKE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED EVERYDAY. Fill your diffuser with water and add 3 drops of Lemon and 3 drops of Peppermint . Diffuse for 20 minutes.
12. AS AN AFTERNOON PICK ME UP. Fill your diffuser with water and add 6 drops of Lemon Diffuse for 20 minutes.

16. INCREASE ENERGY. Pour 2-3 drops of Peppermint, Lemon, or Lavender into the palm of your hand, inhale and rub into your temple. Mix a few drops of coconut oil with 3 drops of Peppermint and rub into your muscles.
17. DURING STUDY. (My version) Try reading the Bible or SOP for 5 minutes everyday for 10 days. Fill your diffuser halfway, add 4 drops of Frankincense, or Lavender and sit or lay comfortably. Breathe deeply and fill your mind with the WORD for 15-60 minutes. Now your mind is ready for the chaos of your day.

But if a little grease remains, repeat with a few drops of Lemon, rub in and rewash before putting it in the dryer.
25. FOR LAUNDRY: NATURALLY SCENT YOUR LAUNDRY. Add 2–4 drops of Lavender to unscented dryer sheets, wool dryer balls, or a clean washcloth to add a fresh scent to your laundry. And get rid of your scented dryer sheets that have loads of chemicals! Do you ever forget and leave your laundry in the wash for too long? Add 2-3 drops of Lemon to the laundry and re-wash.

42. TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION. Our circulation system is in charge of moving our blood through our body, as well as oxygen, nutrients, and other compounds that help you move. The body’s circulatory system is responsible for moving blood throughout the entire body. When this flow is disrupted, you can suffer from a variety of health problems. However, the majority of circulation blockages are caused by a lack of oxygen in the body. This can reduce your overall health and effectiveness of your lymphatic system. To improve circulation, REVIVE recommends diffusing Lavender throughout the day.
43. TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE. The best way to improve blood pressure is through diet and exercise. Don’t skimp on those. Alongside diet and exercise, we recommend Lavender, and Frankincense. Essential oils can lower blood pressure by dilating arteries, acting as antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress and by decreasing emotional stress.
44. FOR NATURAL MOTH BALLS. Make your own natural mothballs. Put a few drops of Lavender on a few cotton balls and place them in your closet and drawers. This should keep the moths away and give you great, fresh smelling clothes!
45. KEEP SPIDERS AWAY. Spiders hate the smell of Peppermint . Mix 15 drops of Peppermint and a cup of water in a spray bottle. Shake well and then spray all around your home (inside and out) where spiders hang out or might enter your home. Make sure to get corners or rooms, baseboards, around porches, doors, and windows.
46. FRESHEN STINKY SHOES. Get rid of that funky smell in your shoes or boots using a cotton ball and Essential Oils. Apply a few drops of Tea Tree (Melaleuca), Lemon, or Lavender to cotton balls. Put one cotton ball inside each shoe. Leave it overnight and the odors should be gone in the morning. If not, repeat for a couple of nights.
47. DIFFUSE YOUR HOME WITHOUT A DIFFUSER. Take your favorite Essential Oil or Blend (for us that’s REVIVE Immunity Boost (Thieves)) and put a few drops on wooden clothespins. Then clip the clothespins to all your vents in your home. When your heating or air conditioning runs, air will flow over the clothespins and your whole house will smell great! Refresh weekly with more drops of Essential Oil.
48. STRENGTHEN YOUR FINGERNAILS & TOENAILS. If your nails don’t look the way you want, if they’re dry or brittle or otherwise unhealthy: Add 1 drop of Tea Tree (Melaleuca) to 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil and then apply this mixture directly onto your nails and massage in to strengthen them.
49. AS A CAR AIR FRESHNER. Take a wooden clothespin. Add 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oil to the wood of the clothespin and clip the clothespin to your car’s AC vent. When you turn on your car’s fan and air comes out of your vents, the air will blow over and around the clothespin and circulate the essential oils in your car.
