My daughter Carrie started college this year and as we were getting her ready to head off to Mississippi for the school year. I came up with this EASY project for making your own essential oil first aid kit! I love easy, don’t you? When you can address health and wellness in a cost-effective and organized way, all the better!
I have chosen to include in this essential oil first aid kit oils that are versatile and have a long history of effectiveness and research behind them. Every person is different so the essential oils that I chose to put into my daughter’s first aid kit were picked because of her personal health needs and include individual oils she has responded to the best in the past. One of the things I love the most about using healing essential oils is that it is a process. Find what oil works best for a person and the care that enters into the choice of the essential oil can be part of the healing process.
Make Your Own Essential Oil First Aid Kit
SUPPLIES
container (I used a large black recycled tin container that matched Carrie’s room decor)
essential oils
- peppermint (stomach upset, nausea, fever, fatigue)
- lemon (disinfectant, bites and stings, throat infection)
- lavender (cuts, abrasions, skin rashes, sleep, sunburn)

My daughter is now midway through her Freshman year at college and she has used this essential oil first aid kit over and over as well as sharing her oils with her roommate and suitemates. Everyone is healthier for their use! During her time at home over Christmas break we added a few essential oils for her enjoyment but really did not have to add anything to the first aid kit. Which is to say we nailed it!
YOUR TURN…
What essential oils would you add to your own first aid kit?
