I’ve had essential oils on the brain lately…
That’s partly because I have used them a ton recently to treat things like a dog bite, as well as a recent round of the flu that went through our house.
But the other reason is because I’ve been secretly working on a brand new eBook to share with ya’ll.
Ever since publishing my first eBook, Your Custom Homestead, I’ve had the bug to write another one.
But this new one has a catch… You can’t buy it.
Why?
Well, because I’m giving it away instead!
The Essential Homestead: Successfully Using Essential Oils in your Home, Barnyard, and Beyond is a 30-page eBook that includes chapters on:
- Why I started my own journey into essential oils
- The three most common ways to apply oils
- How to use oils for cleaning (including some of my favorite DIY cleaner recipes!)
- How to use oils for cooking (recipes included!)
- How to use oils to treat common problems like heartburn or colds & flus
- How to use oils with your animals
I greatly appreciate all of my faithful subscribers, so I wanted to give each of you a copy of the eBook as a little way to say ‘thank you’ for supporting The Prairie Homestead blog.
How do I become a subscriber?
I’m so glad you asked. 
First off, I want to promise that I won’t fill up your inbox with a bunch of extra “stuff.” I usually only post 3x a week, and of course I never sell, give, or trade your email addresses with anyone. Ever.
You’ll get each and every one of my blog posts, filled with recipes, homesteading tips, and tutorials, delivered straight to your inbox. And it’s totally free, of course.
It’s easy to sign up:
Simply follow this link and enter your email address.
You’ll receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. Once you do that, the download link for the eBook will show up in your inbox. (You will need Adobe Acrobat reader to view the book.)
And speaking of eBooks… Here is another one that you don’t wanna miss! Katie from Kitchen Stewardship just launched her brand new eBook, Better Than a Box. It’s jam-packed full of ideas and recipes for your favorite comfort foods, but without all the junk. But the best part is that you can get it for just $1.99 right now! (On Friday, it goes up to full price, which is $16.95…) I have several of Katie’s other eBooks, and she never disappoints!

Hi Judy Ann- It will be at the very top of the emails you get. (It will say “click here” to download your free copy.) However, if you are still having trouble, shoot me an email at: jill(at)theprairiehomestead(dot)come and I’ll attach a copy to an email!

I did everything stated and did not receive and email after confirmation email. Can you please help me with that. I would really love this ebook
Hi Kim– It will actually be in the next email that you receive (that will be Friday). Unfortunately, my subscription service doesn’t allow me to send links in the confirmation email so I have to simply attach the links to the normal post emails that are sent out. However, if you would like it sooner, shoot me and email and I’ll be more than happy to send you a copy today.
Hi Jill,
Can’t wait to check it out. Thank you so much 
No problem at all. I will wait until Friday. I just wanted to make sure that I didn’t do something wrong
Sooo excited! Thank you… I’m just starting to dabble with essential oils and I’m excited to learn more about them!
Thank you! I haven’t gotten into essential oils much yet….gotta wait till business picks up in the spring! But I’ve been very curious! I heard recently that my egg lady uses essential oils for her chickens…I wanted to know more for when I have chickens of my own!
I would also like to know about that. I have chickens myself and always looking for ways to help them.
Thank you for the eBook!
Thank you so much for the E-book…. I was just hoping yesterday to learn more about essential oils! Perfect timing
Awesome! I love Essential Oils and look forward to reading this! I am already a subscriber to you–for a very long time and love love love your blog! Thanks for this! Can’t wait to read it!
Thank you so much!!! I was just telling my husband this weekend about your post as he and I both have gotten sick. So, I hope to get my flu and cold capsules created soon!!!
Yes, the bugs are definitely going around this year! Hope you both feel better soon.
Thank you so much for the free ebook. I have been studying homeopathy. Many essential oils work well with homeopathic remedies.
Hi, I am subscribed by RSS feed to my mac via my live bookmark feed. I don’t see a link though. I’m not sure where to click to see the book.
We are a family, like yours, that prefers to treat everything possible at home, but essential oils are something that I have only used for cleaning recipes and respiratory illness. I would really love to learn about using them for our health on the whole.
Thank you for sharing like this!
Hi there,
The link *should* be at the very top of your RSS feed. However, if you aren’t seeing it, shoot me an email (jill@theprairiehomestead.com) and I’ll make sure you get a copy!
I am so excited I’ve been watching hoping to catch all oil related posts, and hoping to get tons more info and wow here it is!!! I didn’t know I could subscribe and that is exciting too, I’d love to make sure I don’t miss a posting! That not a box sounds amazing! I’d love to get my extended fam into it, we are dairy gluten free, any idea if there are any in there for us? I almost think of getting it just for the fun of reading, but….always tight around here. I’ll pray about! $2 is such a deal on knowledge!
Oh! I went to the link and read the description, had to buy it! Thanks for sharing. I thought it may have been 30 recipes, but the book sounds amazing for a read, over 200 pages! Awesome! Thanks again.
I know– it’s a heck of a deal, huh? You can’t beat $2.
I will add to the chorus. Thank you so much for sharing this with your readers!
Wow thanks so much. It looks amazing! M xx
I am already a subscriber, can I still get your book. I love your site. Thank you.
Yes, definitely Marylou! You should have an email in your inbox from yesterday. There will be a download link at the top!
I would love to have this book, but I am not seeing the download button…. can you help?
Hi Laura,
The download link will be at the top of emails that subscribers receive. You can subscribe above, and your first email should come Monday.
Hi Jill,
I am already a subscriber. I’m not sure why I can’t see this link. I keep clicking on the E-book name and it just keeps telling me to subscribe. I try to subscribe again, and it tells me I am already subscribed! Sorry! I just don’t know what to do.
Hi Laura– sorry for the trouble! I will send you an email with the attachment.
I have the same issue.
I’m still having this same problem. Is it too late?
I am looking forward to reading your new ebook. My daughter and I both have been studying herbal medicines for several years and use essential oils frequently.
I subscribed, but do not have email linking to essential oil ebook. ??
Thank you, Jill for this great resource! I’ve read a large portion of the book already and am putting it to practice! I’ve dabbled in essential oils for homemade cleaning products and headache remedies, but never thought about using them for warts, warding off the flu, and as a bug repellent. I chose your blog this week for my Blog of Interest post. I find so many helpful links here, I want my readers to benefit from your knowledge too. Thanks for all your hard work and insight!
Aw, thank you so much! I am honored!
I’m so happy that you have been enjoying the EO book as well.
I would love to have you share this on Wildcrafting Wednesday!

Hi! Love your site!
I tried to sign up for an email subscription, and feedburner says you are no longer taking email subscriptions. I’m not sure if there us a technical glitch, or if you’ve closed the sign up and give away.
I hope you haven’t closed the doors!
No– I’m definitely still offering the book– I just changed my email subscription services. The new one is here: http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=885763&cids=1
Sorry for the confusion! (I thought I had changed all my links, but I must have missed one!)

Hi!
Love your blog, and have been following for quite some time. I don’t have your essential oil eBook, tho. Is there a way to download it without signing up again? I didn’t see anything on your post. Thanks so much. I’ve been using oils for a long time, and would love to read your book.
Sending you an email Arlene!

subscription link fails
500 internal sever error
Same issue on the link…..I sent you an email. I would love the EO info. Thanks for all your information, I really enjoy it!
How much carrier oil do you use to dilute the “Robber’s” oil?
It depends– usually I’ll squirt 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of carrier in my palm and add a couple drops of the EO blend.
