We all love spending time outside as soon as the weather warms up, but sometimes too much of a good thing can lead to sunburn. Of course, it is best to prevent sunburned skin by using protection like sunscreen and hats, but every once in a while accidents happen. When the hot summer sun hits, take comfort in knowing that natural remedies like Essential Oils and carrier oils can be helpful to improve the symptoms of sunburn. Here are the top Essential Oils for Sunburn.

Lavender Essential Oil

When it comes to Essential Oils for sunburn, Lavender Essential Oil tops the list. This uber calming oil is not just soothing to the mind, but also soothing to the skin. The father of Aromatherapy (Rene Maurice Gattefosse) himself discovered the extraordinary healing abilities of lavender in 1910 after he was badly burned.  We now know that Lavender is anti-inflammatory and may help to repair and ease irritated skin which makes it one of the best Essential Oils for sunburn. Additionally, this gentle oil is great for preventing infection because of its antimicrobial properties. Technically, Lavender can be applied neat, but we recommend mixing it with a carrier oil or aloe vera first.

 Chamomile Essential Oil

This incredible anti-inflammatory is amazing for sensitive skin. Both German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile contain certain properties to soothe agitated and sunburned skin, but Roman has a little more oomph in this category. Another therapy to love that Chamomile Essential Oil has is that it is antispasmodic. This means that when the skin swells and contracts from the sun irritation, it can help to calm those spasms.  When applied to the sunburn with a carrier, Chamomile Essential Oil will reduce discomfort and redness.

Peppermint Essential Oil

If you are looking for almost instant relief when it comes to pain due to sunburn, Peppermint is a perfect choice. Because it contains a large amount of menthol, this minty oil creates an instant cooling sensation. This will take away the hot feeling that the burn produces so it will truly help to relieve agony. Peppermint is also an incredible anti-inflammatory and analgesic Essential Oil, so this gives it an extra pain relieving boost as well. Because Peppermint can be irritating to the mucous membrane, it is recommended to only use a max of 2% dilution on topical applications. This means that you would only need about 5-6 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil mixed into about a half ounce of your carrier. Massage gently onto burned skin and let dry to feel the cooling comfort.

Tea Tree Essential Oil

When a sunburn is severe, you can take action with Tea Tree Essential Oil. This awesome Aussie oil is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and analgesic making it a powerhouse for preventing infection when blistering and sores are present.  Oftentimes, skin will crack from burns and germs can enter the body. Applying Tea Tree oil to these areas may help to clean the wound and keep it from turning into something worse. Keep in mind that overuse of many Essential Oils, including Tea Tree can cause contact dermatitis, so you should take care in only using a small dilution of 2-5% as needed. In this case, you need to be gentle with fragile skin, so adding just a few drops of Tea Tree to Aloe Vera can be beneficial for your burn.

 Helichrysum Essential Oil

Helichrysum is the ultimate skin healing Essential Oil. It’s rejuvenating effects truly aid in moisturizing while adding antioxidant support. Additionally, Helichrysum can reduce soreness and relieve skin spasms. This precious oil is absolutely amazing for preventing scarring because it repairs skin by promoting healthy cell generation. This is ideal for using Essential Oils for sunburn because it will speed up the healing time. To use Helichrysum, simply add a few drops of the Essential Oil to a carrier oil like Hemp Seed Oil and apply carefully to the painful area. Together, the oils will provide great anti-inflammatory therapy.

 REVIVE Sunkissed

If you are looking for the one stop shop Essential Oil for sunburn, REVIVE Sunkissed is here for you. Combining all of the above oils into a mega sunburn busting blend, this proprietary synergy is ideal for skin that has been overexposed to the sun. Sunkissed contains Lavender, Peppermint, Roman Chamomile, Tea Tree and Helichrysum to bring you a refreshing feeling with rejuvenating effects. This Essential Oil blend for sunburn can help soothe the irritated skin while also protecting your tan. Since this mixture is already expertly crafted for sunburn care, all you need to do is stir a couple drops into your favorite carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage onto the painful areas. This will really assist in easing discomfort and healing the epidermis.

 Geranium Essential Oil

When in need of pain relief and skin healing, Geranium Essential Oil can be a great choice. Because this floral oil is a nerve tonic and a sedative, it can aid in easing the discomfort and twinging from the sunburn. Additionally, Geranium is incredible for balancing skin’s sebum (oils in your skin) and restoring skin health. The rose-like scent of Geranium may also even help to calm your mind when you inhale the oil as you wear it. Simply stir a few drops of the Essential Oil into your carrier oil and apply to the affected area 2-3 times a day.

 Rose Hydrosol

For instant relief that is gentle enough for a baby, Rose Hydrosol is here to save the day. This floral water is the byproduct of the distillation of Rose Essential Oil and it is amazing for even very sensitive skin. Spritz directly on the sunburn areas as often as needed for a soothing spray that will deeply moisturize while also promoting relaxation.

Carrier Oils

When it comes to Essential Oils for sunburn, you must also consider your carrier oil. These fatty nut and seed oils are tremendous for your skin because they are nourishing and help transport the Essential Oil into your skin safely. Here are some useful ideas on the best carrier oils for sunburn.

 Sweet Almond Oil

This thick golden oil is an outstanding choice for sunburn because it is very moisturizing for dry skin. Sweet Almond Oil can soften and soothe while it penetrates down to the damaged areas and helps to recondition and restore the skin. We really like to use this oil on the body and not as much on the face because it is a richer oil.

Fractionated Coconut Oil

This light and odorless carrier oil is REVIVE’s number one seller. With no detectable color or greasy feeling, Fractionated Coconut Oil is great for any skin type that is in need of sunburn relief. Adding this carrier oil to any of the Essential Oils listed above will definitely boost the moisturizing and healing effects.

Allergies tend to cause a very congested head and chest, so inhaling Eucalyptus can really help to pave a path through the blockage and support healthy breathing.

Lavender Essential Oil

Allergies are most often caused by a histamine reaction. Lavender Essential Oil actually works as an anti-inflammatory and an antihistamine. This is incredibly beneficial for calming the negative response and improving the allergic reaction.

Lemon Essential Oil

This one may surprise you, but don’t be fooled by Lemon’s fruity nature. This zesty oil is also natural antihistamine which may calm excess mucus. Lemon also supports drainage, so this could be helpful in thinning and draining a snotty nose. Additionally, this oil is an antibacterial, so it may actually reduce allergens in the air.

If you are feeling very stuffy and congested, Breathe Air is a perfect choice for you. This synergy is created with a blend of oils that fight inflammation and help to clean out blocked passageways. Diffuse or inhale to help keep mucus build up at bay.

Tea Tree is a tough bacteria buster so this means it can help to destroy pathogens that cause allergies. Using this cleansing oil in your home can aid in killing mold or fungus that can cause an allergic response.

Holy Basil (Tulsi) Essential Oil

This little known oil is actually a very helpful tool for boosting the immune system and removing toxins from the body. Holy Basil Essential Oil may ease inflammatory responses that are caused by allergens, keeping symptoms away. In addition, this herbal oil assists the respiratory system.

Laurel Leaf Essential Oil

This earthy and sweet oil makes the list for soothing allergies because it is another natural aid for respiratory support. Laurel is an expectorant that can help to clear away phlegm and decrease congestion. We also love this Essential Oil for its antispasmodic abilities which can calm coughing spells.

Seasonal Sniffle Stop Diffuser Blend

100 ml Water in your REVIVE Diffuser
2 drops Lavender Essential Oil
2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

The Fourth of July is a time for celebration in America. With BBQs, pool parties, and fireworks, us humans enjoy many fun times outdoors. Unfortunately, our furry counterparts are not always keen on the idea of loud noises and lots of people running around.  Luckily, there are several natural ways to help soothe your dog’s nerves while you continue to celebrate the birth of our nation.

Natural Remedies

Many dogs have noise anxiety and are easily frightened by the banging of fireworks or excited kids yelling. Being prepared with calming items before the chaos begins is key.

• Swaddle Therapy– Many dogs are calmed when they are held tight. A thundershirt, vest, or even a human’s shirt that applies constant, gentle pressure can aid in calming their fears.

• CBD– REVIVE’s CBD for Pets is an ideal way to soothe an anxious dog and manage stress. Just a small dose before the fun begins, and it will help to ease your dog’s mind.

Sound Therapy– Before the fireworks start, put your dog in a safe space and play relaxing or happy music for them. This will also minimize what they can hear outside.

Essential Oils

Dog’s rely on their sense of smell immensely, but we also have to consider how sensitive it is. Many Essential Oils are safe and even beneficial for use with canines. The best way to utilize this natural therapy is to get the dog used to the scents a few days prior. It is suggested that you work with the dog to help them associate the smell of that oil with a calm and loving situation, in addition to the actual soothing therapy of the scent.

Which Oils to Choose

Lavender: One of the safest oils available, this popular Essential Oil acts as a sedative to the central nervous system and promotes tension relief for dogs as well as humans. 

Sweet Marjoram:  This soothing and grounding Essential Oil is a great choice for blends as it contributes a compounding calming reaction.

Bergamot: This citrus oil has an incredible balancing effect. The monoterpenes in this oil allow it to be both relaxing and uplifting at the same time.

Vetiver: Centering and grounding your dog can be very helpful when fighting their fears. Vetiver can dispel irritability and calm hysteria.

Roman Chamomile: Another gentle oil, Chamomile is great for steadying the central nervous system. This scent is intensely calming and helps bring tranquility.
Clary Sage: This euphoric oil is ideal in small amounts for dogs. Adding only one drop to a blend for anxiety can increase it’s sedative effects

How to Use the Essential Oils 

Once you have chosen the oils you would like to use, create a master blend. This means you would add the Essential Oils to a small glass bottle so that it is ready to use in smaller amounts  when you need it. You may put together your own recipe or use the one below. For a few days leading up to the 4th of July, use your scent with your dog when you have the chance to show them love and comfort while they are actively smelling the blend.

This could be diffusing, putting the scent on yourself where the dog can smell it, or adding a drop of the oil to a bandana or collar that they are wearing. For a few minutes, expose the dog to the smell while petting them and giving them positive affirmations. This is helping the dog form a connection between the anxiety blend and the feeling of affection they are getting from you.

If you do not have the opportunity to put time into this little trick, don’t worry. The calming chemical compounds in the Essential Oils will help to do their magic just by inhalation as well. Simply begin using the blend about 10 minutes before the noise begins to encourage a peaceful environment for the dog.

*Please remember that our pups are much more sensitive to smell than us! This means you only need to use a very small amount of your master blend.

• Diffusion: 2-3 drops in your REVIVE diffuser is an appropriate amount for soothing your dog. Running the diffuser in increments is best. Try 10 minutes on then 20 minutes off.
• Topical: Add only 1 drop of the blend to a teaspoon of carrier oil and apply to ears or down the spine. Do not put it where the dog could lick it off.
• Application: For a collar, thundershirt, or bandana, apply only 1 drop of the blend onto the material.

20 drops Lavender Essential Oil
16 drops Sweet Marjoram Essential Oil
14 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

If you’ve lost your sense of smell and are struggling with this new reality, you’ll be pleased to know it isn’t permanent. With some basic smell training, you can get back to living a normal life filled with fragrance and aroma!

Before Covid-19, Anosmia, or loss of smell, was probably not something that you heard of often. This condition is most commonly caused by a viral infection in the upper respiratory tract or a head injury.

With the rise of the novel Coronavirus, Anosmia has unfortunately become an issue for a large portion of our population.

The good news is that recent studies have proven that olfactory training can actually bring back your sense of smell! And it’s easy to boot.

Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know about losing the ability to smell, and how you can regain it without any expensive doctor’s visits or surgery. We’ll highlight which essential oil products we recommend, and how you can actually go about using them. Let’s start with some background information on this condition.

What Is Anosmia?

Anosmia a.k.a. smell blindness is the temporary or permanent loss of smell. It may be a partial loss (hyposmia) or complete loss, and it is, unfortunately, a major symptom of Covid-19.

It is reported that up to 80% of those who contracted the Coronavirus experience some loss of smell with many of them reporting it as their only symptom.

It is said that the virus may be indirectly damaging the olfactory nerve, but fortunately, it has great regenerative properties. About half of those suffering will regain their sense of smell in about 2 weeks, while an additional 40% will recover it in about 8 weeks.

Olfactory Training – Can You Really Use Essential Oils To Regain Your Sense Of Smell?

The term olfactory training otherwise known as smell training is the only therapy that has been shown to improve loss of smell at this time.

This treatment involves regularly and actively smelling fragrant materials (most often essential oils). Olfactory training was actually developed years ago by Thomas Hummel of Dresden University Faculty of Medicine.

He found that intentionally inhaling the 4 same scents twice a day through your nose for 10-30 seconds can greatly improve your sense of smell. The key to this protocol is to use scents that fall into four different specific categories. Let’s take a look at these four categories now.

The Four Scent Categories

Upon deciding to engage in smell training, you must choose Essential Oils from each specific chemical odorant. These are:

• Phenyl ethyl alcohol
• Citronellal 1
• 8 cineole
• Eugenol

These four unique categories have greatly differing attributes and compounds. Essentially, this includes a floral, fruity, resinous, and aromatic scent. To adequately retrain your smell, you need to draw on an essential oil that falls into each category.

The original kit created by the otolaryngologist includes Rose, Lemon, Eucalyptus, and Clove, but these can vary as long as they fall within that category. A less expensive alternative to Rose could be Ylang Ylang essential oil. You could also work cinnamon in if you’d like.

How To Actually Perform Smell Testing

Once you have chosen your 4 different Essential Oils, you can embark on your journey. The primary protocol in the experiment was 16 weeks long, but technically, you only need to continue until your sense of smell returns.

The exact timeline on this will vary from person to person – so don’t get frustrated if you don’t immediately regain your smell. You should see serious results within six weeks – but again, this varies on several factors.

Dedicate a few minutes every morning and night to your scent therapy. Simply take about 20 seconds to actively smell your oil and consciously think about the scent and all of the memories you have of that smell.

Then take a 10-second break before moving to the next oil. Continue through all 4 oils twice a day. If you find that basic smell training doesn’t help, you can follow a more structured regimen – such as the one listed below:

Step One – Activate Your Oils

Grab a cotton swab for each oil you’re going to be using – this should be a total of four cotton balls. Then, place a few drops of each oil on its respective ball or pad. Allow it to sit for a minute or two before proceeding to step two.

Step Two – Bring Your Oils To Your Nose

After a few moments, your oils should have absorbed into the cotton. You can then raise the cotton ball or pad up to within an inch of your nose, and slowly, naturally inhale the fragrance.

Step Three – Waft The Oil Away & Bring It Back A Few Times

After a few seconds of inhaling with the pad below your nose, move it away for a second – then bring it back and inhale some more. Repeat this wafting pattern a few times.

Step Four – Repeat With The Remaining Essential Oils

After you’ve completed each cotton ball, you can move on to the next. Keep in mind that you should be focusing on actually smelling each scent – actually identify it. Then, you’re ready to move onto the next – no sooner.

Final Thoughts On Using Essential Oils To Treat Loss Of Smell

It is so wonderful to know that a natural therapy such as olfactory training can actually retrain your nose. In most cases, this treatment is very successful, but please keep in mind that it is very important to speak with your doctor if symptoms persist.

If you’ve developed Covid 19, it could take longer than you’d expect to regain taste – along with the smell, which is closely linked.
