In a small bowl, put one drop each of the following essential oils: cinnamon,

clove, rosemary and eucalyptus.

Add five drops of lemon essential oil. Mix in 1 ounce of water and 1/2 teaspoon

aloe vera gel (available at pharmacies and health food stores).

Store in an airtight container or a small travel-size bottle.

Note: Essential oils can be purchased online or at health food stores.

Alternative: Instead of purchasing the 5 separate essential oils, use 5 drops of

the " Thieves " blend from Young Living Essential Oils (youngliving.com).

I received this recipe in a newsletter from Hunt. She notes: Pure essential

oils can be very potent. It's important to test some on a small patch of skin to

check for any adverse reactions.
