This is a fun recipe to make for the kids and is a great activity for children, a fun to learn about aromatherapy and essential oils. Use a variety of oils and colors to help kids learn new scents. Some fun essential oils could include:
Wild Orange, Peppermint, Lemon, Rosemary, or Lavender.
Personally, I love to use On Guard during the colder months of the year. https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/spotlight-doterra-on-guard-protective-blend
