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!
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! :)
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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! WORTH IT.
What oil do you want the MOST after reading this post/watching that video, so you can be ready for ANYTHING?

Thanks for sharing Tonya! I am learning more about oils as my two of my sons suffer from severe frequent migraines. I hate to think about what all the OTC and prescribed meds are doing to their bodies. Thinking of trying the Frankincense.

YES! Let's talk about frank on the roof of the mouth, and lime on the temples. Deep blue on the neck is wonderful. So is past tense.

Easier answer! I created a new category on the right side of the blog, called "Essential Oil Education", If you click on it, all the posts will come up, 2 before this one. And it will work for the remainder of the series too and beyond!

I love that you can use them in water! I only drink water so I always look for ways to make it more appetizing.

Thanks for sharing. I suffer from migraines and have been on prescriptions medications for almost a decade. I am interested in learning more about EOs because I am worried about the harmful effects the medications may be having on my body.

Gosh, I can't seem to pick just one! On Guard seems like it might be the most useful in preparing you for just about anything. Inevitably, that coughing sneezing person ALWAYS ends up sitting next to me on the subway and I can't wait to make a roller and try the beadlets! Wish I could sit in a cloud of it, Pig-Pen style. However, I also am really really excited about deep blue products. I am an ex dancer (and current dance teacher) who aches constantly, and am hoping deep blue will provide some relief. Additionally, migraines seem to LOVE me, much to my dismay, and I am super excited to try the frankincense and lime combo. Have not heard about this before, and I can't wait to try!

I had no idea essential worked so quickly. OnGuard is already on my list to order because if there is a sniffling,coughins person around they will inevitably cross my path! :) Also the extracts that you put in your water sound amazing. I drink a lot of water and plain water is very boring so I can't wait to try some of them. :)
