The A to Z of Essential Oils: Part 4

7/24/2017

6 Comments

   We are starting to wrap up the ABC Part of our Oil Education series....

  Just tuning in?!  NO worries, you can catch up by using the Essential Oil Education catagory on the right hand side of this blog!!!!

   For those of you following along, are you learning LOTS?!  

​  I sure hope so.  I have SO much more I want to tell you, but alas, our alphabet is drawing to a close.  Don't worry! I am not going anywhere, I am here to answer your questions, educate and support you, even beyond this blog series.  
Picture
  You NEVER oil alone!  

  We have created a beautiful community of oilers on a secret Facebook page for your Essential Oil questions.  It's called Dorothy Q&A, as a little nod to our Oz Kansas Roots, we call ourselves the doTERRA Dorothy's.

  There are Dorothy's all over the globe now!  

  Guess what?  As soon as you join our team, you get added, and it's one of the PERKS of wholesale membership!   Then you can jump on and read and learn and ask away, and hang out with ME!!!!  I love that part!  :)

​  YAY!   :)  Now, let's wrap up our Alphabet!
Picture
U is for Urine 

  Maybe you go too much.  Maybe you hold extra water.  Maybe you leak, or burn when you do go.  We have an oil for that!

  In fact, you will find there is an oil for everything.......

   Literally EVERYTHING!  :)

  Oils can support your body where you are, and help take you where you want to go.  

  Some oils that are great for this system of the body are:

  Cypress & Juniper Berry: 

  15 drops Cypress & 15 Juniper Berry in a 10ml roller and FCO to the top.  (FCO is Fractionated Coconut oil.  DoTERRA has a great scent free, light weight one that doesn't stain clothes!) 


  Lemon oil added to your stainless steel water cup to FLUSH the body organs that help filter everything to make sure they keep working well and not burning.

  Grapefruit in your water for flushing extra bulk caused by water retention.  


Picture
Picture
V is for {a little something that makes you feel awful and achey} 

  Oregano is called the most powerful immune support found in Nature.  

​  I don’t care what they call it, I just know it WORKS!  This bad boy will kick whatever ails you right out the door!  There is not much I can say without being super non compliant, so I will instead, copy from doTERRA's website, and teach you more later when we do a class.  ;)

  Oregano is  a hot oil, so it belongs on feet bottoms.  It's also great for areas of your skin that have a little tag hanging off them.  I applied 4 times in 3 days, covered with a fabric bandaid (surround tag with fco for protecting healthy skin) and the stupid thing went flat, turned black and fell off!!! No damage left behind and no more awful little flap of skin on my chest! WOO HOOOOO!!!!
Picture
Primary Benefits 
  • Used as a powerful cleansing and purifying agent
  • Supports a healthy immune system*
  • Supports healthy digestion and respiratory function*
  • Offers powerful antioxidants*
  Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional health practices for its cleansing and immune-boosting properties.* The primary chemical components of Oregano are carvacrol and thymol, both in the phenols group, which possess cleansing and antioxidant properties.* Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken daily can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently when seasonal threats are high or as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion.* Oregano acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends and can help support healthy respiratory function when taken internally.*

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

W is for WOW and Wrinkles and Wholy
   Ok ok, holy with an H, but still.  This was a precious gift for the King of Kings!  Wow!  

  Did you know essential oils are mentioned over 350 times in the Bible? Pretty cool, right?! Oils aren't new, they are just BACK in the limelight!!!!

  Frankincense is called the KING of all essential oils, isn't that cool!?  That's because its good for EVERYTHING!  In fact, if you don't know what else to do, grab Frank. He's a good guy and he'll take care of you!


  Frankincense is a great for supporting youthful skin, helping with severe head discomfort, bringing the brain to neutral and so so much more then I can name.
​
  It's a DRIVER, so anytime you add it on top of other oils with FCO, it makes the other oils BIGGER and go DEEPER and be STRONGER!  It's a powerhouse oil for sure.


Picture
X is for I am so eXcited to teach you about these OILS!!!!  Ok fine, X is for nothing in my oil box, but I tried!   Haha, I really do love my job as an essential oil educator.

  Did you know that doTERRA has a goal to help your home get healthy not only in body but in FINANCES as well?

  Dale was able to retire at age 34 from the insurance industry, because as I shared oils, doTERRA compensated us generously, and we totally replaced his income!  WOW, thanks Lord!

  Now, we are living 6 figure happy from the comfort of our home on wheels.  

  I promise, you don't HAVE to sell your house and live in an RV to do doTERRA successfully! Haha, but it IS fun if you want to.  ;)  You can totally build doTERRA from the comfort of your home.  

​  My point is that doTERRA is the vehicle to get you to your dreams.  My dreams just happen to involve an RV! haha!


Picture
  You are in the business FOR yourself, but you are never in the business BY yourself!

  We offer team support, encouragement, training and classes.  AND, we are mobile! You can chose to train with us, HANDS ON, in real life!  
  
  We are always looking for business partners to run this race with, to financial freedom.  DoTERRA is a billion dollar debt free company.  They want you FREE TO GIVE!  How cool would it be to make enough to live off 20% of your income, and give the rest away?

  WOW. What a difference we could make!

  Take a few minutes and watch this video.   You guys!!!! It's SO SO amazingly good.  I want you to carve out some time to do it, then come comment when you are done....

  So, ask yourself, are you building a pipeline in your current job? Or are you hauling buckets?
Y is for Yawn 

  Melatonin is an important part of sleep, GOOD sleep.
​

That is where CEDARWOOD comes in.  It supports your body's ability to make it's OWN.

  Just swipe it across your forehead,  dump some in your diffuser and head to bed! 

  Add balance oil, serenity oil and serenity pills for the BEST SLEEP OF YOUR LIFE!

  These oils combined are also so very good for children who have difficulty focusing at school or have some extra challenges in life.

Picture
 Z is for ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! 

  Did you know that when you rest, you regenerate, restore and heal?  If you aren't sleeping, you aren't living to your FULL potential!  
  


  Use these oils to help support the bodies ability to REST, plus the cedarwood we discussed above.
Picture
Picture
   Comment after you watched the Pipes video above - under the letter X.  It's only 3 minutes long.....

​  Go on, I'll wait.


OH MY WORD, isn't that GOOD?!?!??! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!

Are you hauling buckets? Do you want to create a pipeline instead?
Picture

The A to Z of Essential Oils: Part 3

7/23/2017

6 Comments

 
  Just tuning in? Catch up here!  Series starts with doTERRA: Gift of the Earth
Picture
  doTERRA is the MOST tested and the MOST trusted essential oil company in the world!  

  DoTERRA is a SCIENCE company.........No hocus pocus, voodoo magic here.  ;)

  We have 10 doctors and 30 scientists that work with us and for us to make sure you are getting the best, safest, most natural oil on the market.    We test every oil! Every vat, every batch, every day, every time to ensure that your oil is still pure.  Free of pesticides, contaminates and fillers.

  Did you know you can access the testing results?
Picture
 Yup, just scan the little QR code on your doTERRA bottle and you can check it all out.  You science lovers will flip over it!  No secrets here.  We have nothing to hide!

 Source to You is a treasure trove of science info, info about our farmers, who we are...all kinds of amazing things!

  Take 3 minutes and go check it out, then come back to me and continue.  

 Go on, I'll wait.  Click here
Picture
   Back to our alphabet!  Yesterday I left you hanging at O for Orange.  

  Remind me to share my Wild Orange Porkchop recipe with you on here sometime!  YUMMO!
Picture
  P is for Peppermint Beadlets

    2 of our oils come in beadlet form.  This is convenient for your car or purse!

​   I use On Guard beadlets on the way to church when I realize we forgot to get oiled up with our immune booster, before we left the house.  Oopsie!

  Peppermint beadlets are a great replacement for sugary sweet mints, and harmful, chemical laden gum.  Fresh breath starts in the gut, and peppermint will help with digesting.  

  The beadlets are only about the size of a tapioca pellet, so super easy way to get oils into your kiddos for immune support.  You can swallow them right down in your tummy, or my kids like to pop them in their mouth on purpose for a FRESH BURST of oil in there!

Picture
Picture
Q is for Quaint Bamboo Box  When you get your kit of oils, you will want to be able to organize them nicely!!  This bamboo box comes with my favorite kit, the Natural Solutions kit.
  
  You can stay nicely organized.  No knocking all the oils out of your cabinet as you dig for one.  Just use the stickers doTERRA sends out with your kit to label the tops for easy finding and viola!  

Picture
R is for Relaxing 

  Life is stressful, and there is just so much stimuli around us with media at our fingertips at all times. Quiet your mind, promote restful deep sleep by putting away your cell phone at least 15 minutes before bed.

  The Bible says to BE STILL, and  the Lord ain't a jokin!

  I can achieve an overall sense of peace and calm with both Serenity and Balance oils. We use them for daytime stress AND nightime sleep!

  Neat right?!  I love how oils meet our bodies where they are, and take them where they need to go.  So in the day time, manage stress.  But at night, take me into restful slumber.

  
These buddy oils, are great for mood lifting and centering.  Balance oil acts like a lighting rod, it’s very grounding.  Serenity relaxes you around your new found ground.  Cedarwood can be added to a roller with the other 2, to help a child process better at school.  To overcome some sensory issues and even just to not be so grumpy! :)

  Add Elevation oil on the heart for some serious mood adjusting, together these 3 oils would have wonderful health benefits for those suffering from periods of sadness.

  Serenity comes in oil form, but has a partner in crime in pill form.  I call these my tranquilizer darts, because I am falling asleep before my head hits the pillow and waking up deeply rested, before my alarm.  I am NO morning person!  This is amazing!


Picture
Picture
S is for Sneezing and Snot  
(With a side of runny nose and itchy, watery eyes from Seasonal Distress!)  Good bye seasonal discomfort, hello, relief.

  It's as easy as taking a SHOT.

  No, no, not a shot in the arm!!!!!!

   A shot glass of water with a few drops of oils in it.   2 drops of each of the pictured oils, in a splash of water, and down the hatch it goes!  Prepare to be amazed. 

  Oils metabolize quickly, they don't linger in the body, so its really important that you repeat this often.  Our rule of thumb is, every 15 minutes until you get relief, and then every hour until you are sure its GONE!    And it will be, quickly.  

​  Pretty stinking awesome!


Picture
T is for Tummy Issues 

  Digestzen is about to be your Best Friend.  It’s one of the most used oils in our home!!!!!   It smells like a big ol sweet black jelly bean, but I love it. I sneak it under my shirt and rub it around my belly button and get relief FASTER then I can screw the lid back on.   
​

   (((((Even if its MY FAULT that I overate some amazing, rich food!))))

  It can take a child from over the toilet, to playing again, in 20 minutes.  Yup. AMAZING!  I've watched it a ton of times over the last 3 years, and it STILL surprises me!

  We find it to be wonderfully soothing rubbed on the belly for discomfort, burning sensatio in the chest and throat, waves of discomfort from motion or pregnancy, or just bloating from eating heavy foods......Digestzen's got your back, er, BELLY!  ;)

  Digestzen comes in pill form, for easy swallowing, roller form for rolling on the belly, or the oil pictured below.  It also comes in a calcium based tablet form for you "Chalk Poppers" out there!!  Those nasty chalk tablets have aluminum in them, they will kill you. Stop eating those and get some Digestzen in your life! Game. Changer.


Picture
Picture
   I am going to stop there until tomorrow. I want to let your brain DIGEST, all you have learned so far.....

  We cannot possibly be surprised that our amazing Creator, made our bodies to use tools in nature for wellness and relief!!!!  Thank you Lord for essential oils! :)  

  Are you EXCITED to learn about these beautiful little gifts of the Earth and the amazing natural solutions they provide for your home?

The A-Z of Essential Oils: Part 2

7/22/2017

17 Comments

 
Picture
  Today we are continuing our oil education series with some simple ABC's!

  Oils work quickly on a cellular level.  Each oil has HUNDREDS of compounds!  These beautiful gifts of the earth, will meet the body where its at and takes it where it needs to go for optimal health.

​  Essential oils work FAST!  I often get relief faster than I can screw the lid back on, that's amazing!

Picture
  Let's continue through our alphabet of uses!
​I is for Immune Support 

  We have had WONDERFUL success using these products for immune support in our home.  Remember, we talked about this yesterday?


  We use On Guard daily in the fall/winter before church, the store, or any activity outside our home, or at the first sign of not feeling quite right.  I like to use the On Guard roller and roll the kids on the way out the door.  So safe and easy!!!!!  It's like putting them in a little on guard bubble!  :)
Picture
  Today I want to share with you, that On Guard also comes in a variety of household products, no more toxic chemicals in our house for washing, cleaning and dishwashing! 

   The average American is exposed to 1800 toxic chemicals before they even leave the walls of their own home.  That's not ok!  I want to help you choose better!  We LOVE the orange, clove and cinnamon smells of these on guard products, and even more, the natural cleaning they offer.

Picture
J is for Joints  

  Deep Blue Oil and Deep Blue Rub are incredible for supporting healthy muscles and joints.  Great for the aging, performance in athletes and muscle recovery after. We have entire athletic departments and chiropractic offices, utilizing this amazing lotion!!!  And YES, it comes in a liter pump size! {not bathtub sized, YET}  ;)

  When my kids wake up crying at night from growing during the night, we use this to massage and soothe.  When I have a pinch in my neck causing head discomfort, this is what I reach for!


  The Deep Blue Polyphenol complex has 100mg of frankincense, a powerhouse oil, and 250mg of curcumin.  Curcumin is turmeric, and turmeric is a wonderful support to the body in the way of inflammation!  We use this for any discomfort!
Picture
  K is for Killer Head Discomfort 

  Past Tense oil, in the roller container, feels cooling and wonderful when rolled across in a triangle on the base of the neck, back by your hairline.  I use this for tight muscles in my shoulders and neck from a long day of working on the computer.

  Frankincense is wonderful for head discomfort, the kind that used to send me to bed for 3 days! Just turn the bottle over on your thumb, and press to the roof of your mouth OFTEN, as soon as you feel it coming!  

  Lime is such a game changer for this issue, especially when rubbed on the temples.  It just does something AMAZING.  It's fresh, won't make you feel nauseated and it WORKS.


Picture
Picture
L is for LOVE

   I love Diffusing!
 I will be sharing Diffuser recipes later this week, but for now, know you can use your doTERRA oils in this AMAZING 8 hour diffuser. Forget those toxic plug ins and wax burners.

  This diffuser, will take your safe, natural doTERRA oils, and break them down into micro-particals in the air  These diffusers will improve mood and energy, and make your home smell amazing!

  I have 2 in the RV, and one I take to class with me.  DoTERRA Diffusers will run all day long putting happy sunshine smells into the air of your home, it shuts itself off, and you refill it at night with sleepy oils for  hours of support by your bed.

  I wouldn't be without it!!!!  Seriously love picking new diffuser smells to try! In our support page we have an album FULL of over 100 different ideas for diffuser recipes!


Picture
M is for Monster Zits 

​  Our Clear Skin line, is fantastic!  We even have a roller I love to call my "Zit Stick" with all kind of amazing oils, already tucked into a roller for convenience.  You will love the foaming facewash too!
  I use it in the shower and save the Essential Skincare line, which is SO luxurious and nice, before bed.

  Also look into face mapping!  When my cheeks kept breaking out in adult acne, I looked up face mapping and getting acne on the cheeks meant lung support was needed.

  I used the Breathe oil accordingly and it cleared up really nicely!


Picture
N is for Nits 

​Lice HATE Melaleuca, known best by its street name, Tea Tree Oil.   30 drops of this oil, along with some rubbing alcohol and water to the top of your spray bottle, makes a great nit and lice spray. 

  Part hair section by section, and spray with treatment recipe above.  Let sit and comb with nit comb.  Wipe comb off on a paper towel every pass through the hair.  Dry with hot blow dryer, repeat daily.  They hate Mela and they hate HEAT!  

  Also works for prevention during an outbreak, just add a drop to shampoo or mist on daily, parting hair as you spray.

Picture
O is for Orange, Wild Orange to be exact 

​Great for recipes and diffusing, refreshing drinking water and energy!  

  Your doTERRA oils can be used as the most beautiful, pure little cooking extracts!

  We make rosemary potatoes or lemon chicken, use basil oil in italian foods, cilantro and lime oils for a fresh tasting shrimp dish, peppermint oil added to brownie mix for a quick holiday treat or lemongrass and ginger for an Asian infusion.

   The possibilites are endless!  I'll share more ideas later this week!
Picture
  I also LOVE to drink oils in my water!  Lime, lemon, orange and peppermint, frank and spearmint (tastes like a light tea), slim and sassy with grapefruit for flushing water weight and keeping me from making bad choices! ;)  Oh my goodness, what else!  OH, I love cinnamon bark water! (think fireball candy)

  I drink almost 90 ounces a day now because of how GOOD my water tastes. I crave it!


  Here is the recipe for Orange Peppermint Spa Water, or Sunshine water as I call it!  You actually only need a *touch* of peppermint, not a drop.  Like you touch the top of your oil bottle and you touch your water. Viola, nice and minty!
Picture
 One of my FAVORITE things since starting doTERRA, is that I feel ready for ANYTHING life throws our way.  I feel empowered as a mother to reach for my book and my box of oils and fight and win quickly.  

 Also, being part of doTERRA has taught me how to be proactive, and use oils preventatively as well at at first sniffle, or first ache, or rise in body temp.

  Isn't that something?  :)

  Watch this video as your last bit of education on today's blog, its like 3 minutes!

The A to Z of Essential Oils: Part 1

7/21/2017

35 Comments

 
  WELCOME to the A to Z of Essential oils part ONE!!!!! 

 Did you CRY yesterday during the Nepal video? Holy cow, I do everytime!

   Anyhow, I am so excited to dig into these beautiful gifts of the earth with you today and in the days to come!  If you commit to commenting and following along with us each day, we are going to be giving away some GREAT bottles of oils to 8 lucky commenters, at the end of our oil week!!!  YAY!!!!!!! :)  
Picture
  Let me tell you about WHY we picked doTERRA, after 4+ years of using another popular brand......

  There is a reason doTERRA is the #1 oil company in the world!  It comes down to potency, purity and humanitarian heart.  I cannot wait to dig into these topics with you this week!

 First up, click and watch this short video:
  Because of our purity standards and unsurpassed quality and testing, you can use your oils 3 ways.   This is special to doTERRA!

​  Check out my video from my team orientation to learn more:

Dorothy Team Orientation: 3 Ways To Use Your Oils from Tonya Ferguson on Vimeo.

  
  So let's talk about some uses for these oils in YOUR life:

   I am going to do my best to be compliant, and still let you know what I am talking about! Haha :)   If you see these, {   } it means I have replaced the non compliant word, so its like a word puzzle.  You can figure it out! 
Picture
  A is for An A Attack   (Ack! I sound like a Dr Seuss book!)
   This is one of many options for supporting healthy lung function.  Rub on chest, back and feet bottoms, as needed during times of respiratory distress, or before a work out to improve oxygen flow. 

   I like to take an empty roller and make a breathe roller using 15 breathe oil, 10 lime oil and 5 frankincense oil.  Very effective and easy to roll on as needed!  

​  We call this the "Marriage Saver" for those LOUD noises coming from your spouses nose and mouth at bedtime!!!!!
 
Picture
  Breathe also comes in stick form, and respiratory drops to suck on. Totally tasty, my kids used to fake sick for those, but I tell them to knock it off and go eat one.  They are healthy! Brown rice cane syrup and essential oils.  :)
Picture
B is for Burn

   Lavender is the swiss army knife of essential oils, and has over 150 uses.  It has hundreds of different compounds that do different jobs in your body.  It's great for relaxing, teething, sleeping and so much more!
 
  Accidently grab your flat iron plates?  Or lean on the stove?  Grab lavender!
​
  Did you know if takes 30 pounds of lavender flower to make ONE 15 ml bottle of doTERRA lavender oil?  

  Yup, that's because of doTERRA's amazing purity standards.  No fillers, no pesticides, no contaminates.

 Lavender Touch is a convenience form of lavender oil, ready to roll on with fractionated coconut oil already in it, in a beautiful stainless steel roller topped bottle!
Picture
C is for Crud

  
On Guard with fractionated coconut oil rubbed on pulse points is what I use for supporting a healthy immune response in my family.

  Let's be honest, I'd love to put my kids in a bubble all winter, but I cannot.  Instead, I simply apply doTERRA On Guard oil, daily, before we go.  Preventative health is a very incredible way to support your family in wellness!!!!!

  On Guard comes in oil form, a super charged ninja fighter gel cap form for times of crud, beadlets for on the go immune supporting and On Guard throat lozenges.  

  Those are great for germy airplane air, a scratchy throat, finding a missing voice, or just again, general health.  You can keep these in your purse and eat them for a treat, totally yum! Brown rice cane sugar and on guard oil!
Picture
D is for Dogs 

  Sophie says to tell you that Terra Shield helps her with itchy fleas and mean ticks.   We place drops along the inside of her collar every 2 weeks or so.  We also mist her coat with this blend mixed with water, which I will share with you now.


  Our family uses it in our mosquito spray.  No more yucky chemicals in this household!  This homemade bug spray is perfect for us AND Sophie.
Picture
Picture
​ Comes in oil form & spray form for easy on the go in your purse or bag!
Picture
  Here is the bug spray we use at home, smells amazing!

This safe natural alternative has to be applied more often, but it works well and is safe and natural!

Picture
E is for Energy
   In a world that tells you to grab a soda or monster drink, I am going to tell you there is a better way! NATURALLY!

  Life Long Vitality is the number one best seller.  Nutrition is key to supporting a healthy happy energetic day!  Dale and I LOVE these products and cannot believe how we drag by 4pm if we do not take them. I have never been able to tell a difference when I take my vitamins and when I don't, until now.  Who knew I'd ever be the person that looked FORWARD to swallowing my pills, because of the amazing energy to come!?  Madness I tell you.  ;)

  My favorite oils for energy boosting are Wild Orange and Peppermint.  They smell SO SO good in the diffuser!

 Watch this video on LLV Vitamins by Dr. Axe:
F is for Fluff 

​  Slim and Sassy is called our Metabolic blend, and its great for curbing appetites and boosting metabolism.  It also supports healthy blood sugar levels!

  Grapefruit is also effective for this, and tastes great in water.  (No plastic drinking cups, only glass or stainless steel with oils)   Grapefruit is wonderful for erasing cellulite!

  I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks by making a "Fluffy Rub".  I mixed 30 drops of Slim & Sassy with 15 drops of grapefruit and whipped it with creamy coconut oil for a homemade lotion.  Rub on fluffy spots twice a day!


  Slim and Sassy also comes in gel cap form, not pictured, and GUM, which is amazing!  Helps maintain an already healthy blood sugar level. AND helps with afternoon cravings for those BAD SNACKY CHOICES! :)
Picture
  We also have of 3 kinds of Trim Shakes.  I usually gag when I drink shakes, but not these, they are super silky like melted ice cream.  My favorite is Orange Creamsicle!  I blend it with vanilla coconut milk, spinach and frozen berries in my immerson blender.  Your body will release fat better if you stop starving it of healthy fats.  NO SKIM MILK.  Do Coconut or raw or whole Vitamin D at least!

​ Dale and I actually crave these shakes for lunch, perfect for travel days or on the go!  I add Chia seeds for an extra BOOST from this super protein, and a scoop of doTERRA Terragreens with all the best greens hiding inside.
Picture
G is for Grief 

  Balance is a grounding oil, like a lighting rod.  It can help support the body during times of stress, focus and help with centering.  Great for promoting restful sleep and for kiddos who like to wiggle!


  Console, the doTERRA comforting blend, uses sweet floral and tree essential oils to promote feelings of comfort.  

  Cheer, 
with a sunshiny, optimistic aroma, doTERRA Cheer can counteract negative emotions and provide a boost of happiness and positivity when you are feeling down.

  See how it comes in multiple forms?  That is for your convenience, you can buy the oils for diffusing, adding to a diffuser necklace or bracelet, or even making your own blends, OR Touch Roller form, meaning already has a carrier oil and ready to roll right on!!!   

Picture
 H is for Heat 

  Peppermint on the back of the neck, or on a bandana, will drop body temperature, and allow you to feel cool and refreshed.  I also like to take peppermint water in a stainless steel bottle to the pool! Keep it in the fridge for a nice extra cool mist.

  When the body is hot for other reasons, you can swipe peppermint and fractionated coconut oil from spine to tailbone to naturally bring the body temperature back down.


Picture
  I'll stop here for today and let you digest all that great info!

doTERRA: Gift of the Earth

7/20/2017

  Welcome to the start of our A to Z Oil Series week!
Picture
  We brought doTERRA oils into our home 3 years ago, and it was such a life changing gift.  We haven't had to take our kids in for a sick visit in that many years, praise God!  If you have clicked around on this website at all, you know how much of a game changer it was the first FOUR days we brought doTERRA into our home.
 
  Haven't read about it all yet? Go up to the top and click on Our Story!

  Soooo, when I bought oils, I thought I'd only use them when we were not feeling good, boy was I surprised to find, we could use oils everyday, in every way, in every room of our home.

  Over the next week or so, I'd like to teach you a few of the ways you can do the same, Oils A-B-C style!  ​

​  The FIRST thing I want to talk about is, What is an essential oil?  

​  Watch this short 2 minute VIDEO before reading on:
  doTERRA is the most tested, and the most trusted essential oil company on the market.  They are 9 years old and have quickly zoomed to the #1 largest oil company in the world!  

  WHY?  I think it boils down to 3 things: sourcing, integrity and humanitarian efforts.

  doTERRA believes that wherever plants grow native, is where they are their best. They believe in responsible sourcing and thinking to the future for sustainable resources.

   So instead of owning their own farms, or bringing all the crops to US soil to control the process from seed to bottle, they go over to 3rd world countries and hire local farmers to grow the crops for us.  We call this Co-Impact sourcing!  85% of the farmers we work with, will only work with us, because they know we take amazing care of them and their families.

We work hard to maintain agricultural traditions, but also teach them better ways of growing.  We teach them to wait for full harvest and not rush it.  We pay all year long so this doesn't happen.  AND, no middle men to gouge prices, we pay direct.
​​
  While we are there, doTERRA is dropping wells for villages that used to walk hours a day to find water sources, we build schools for the harvesters children, and we leave behind essential oil clinics for health and wellness.
  
  One of my favorite videos is from when DoTERRA headed over to Nepal, as SOON as the disaster relief started, from the horrific hit they took in 2015 when several earthquakes ripped through their land.  We get our Wintergreen from there.

  Grab your Kleenex, and watch this short video about the beautiful people of Nepal:
  doTERRA is a billion dollar, debt free company with a HUGE heart for others!  You can read more about our effort in Nepal here.  

  Because of this heart for the hurting, we also have a Healing Hands ministry.  DoTERRA partners with Operation Underground Railroad, Days for Girls and disaster relief alll over the globe.

  I am so proud to represent a company, so close to my own heart and my own faith and belief in giving back, living generously and helping those in need of care.
Picture
  I am really looking forward to talking oils with you this week, and sharing my love and passion for these beautiful gifts of the earth!  

  What do you know about essential oils?  Are you open to natural forms of healthcare?

​Hugs, T
