Make your Own Flavored Water with Essential Oils


Have you ever enjoyed flavored water? There are so many commercial brands out there but some, if not most, are flavored with more than you bargained for.

Check the labels on these waters. Some may be sweetened with sugar, or worse aspartame, and some may contain "natural" flavors (which in essence means imitation flavoring), coloring, or preservatives.


Some waters even claim to boost energy - careful, these may contain caffeine. How about added vitamins? This can be an issue too if you've already taken your supplements for the day. Plus, the vitamins that are added are more than likely synthetic and not in their natural state.

Water is suppose to be pure and healthy. Adding any of these things to your water definitely isn't pure and healthy.

Further, if you are drinking these flavored waters from plastic bottles then you also have the disadvantage of adding unwanted chemicals to your drinking water like DEHP, styrene, and BPAs. Not a good thing indeed.



So, what's a flavored water drinker suppose to do? Make your own flavored water and use Stainless Steel bottles.



Making flavored water with your Young Living Essential Oils is so easy and so tasty too! Try using Lemon, Peppermint, or Citrus Fresh. All of these oils have a very uplifting effect and you will get some added benefits from using them.

Lemon is very alkalizing (you can read about alkalizing with lemon by clicking here), peppermint is very cooling and helps to clear brain fog, and Citrus Fresh is extremely uplifting.

If its vitamin water you are looking for, flavor your water with a shot of NingXia Red. It is so light and tasty and you are sure to get a good boost of energy from drinking it, not to mention the health benefits that come from these vitamins and minerals.


Please be careful not to use your essential oils in a plastic bottle. The essential oils can break down the plastic and the chemicals can infiltrate your water. I suggest using glass or stainless steel water bottles.

The stainless steel bottles shown above are the best priced bottles I've seen in a long time. They are being offered by Gaiam and if you combine this sale with either the free shipping or discounted pricing coupons (scroll down and look on the right of this page) you will end up with great pricing.

Stay cool, stay healthy, and enjoy your essential oils in your water.
