Citrus Fresh Essential Oil
Much as I hate to remind you, emergencies can bring smells. Because these smells won’t be pleasant, I include Citrus Fresh to our list of the Top 10 Essential Oils for Prepping.
Place a few drops of Citrus Fresh on cotton balls and stash them wherever necessary. As a result your living space will smell clean and fresh. Create an on-the go air freshener with a spray bottle, distilled water, and Citrus Fresh. Keep it in your bag to freshen up public restrooms, work places, etc.

And the 11th Essential Oil Every Prepper MUST Have…..
Okay. Okay. I know the title of this post is the Top 10 Essential Oils For Preppers, but seriously. I can’t let this post come to an end with out adding one of my all time favorite, most reached for essential oil, Manuka.
Manuka essential oil comes from the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is native to Australia and New Zealand. Steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the plant, Manuka oil has a woodsy, slightly sweet scent. Manuka essential oil can be compared to Tea Tree essential oil, as Manuka oil benefits the skin in a similar way.
My favorite way to use Manuka Essential Oil can be found in our DIY Manuka Honey Recipe for Preppers. Let’s face it. Medical Honey is expensive. Making your own makes sense……and SAVES A BUNDLE!
