Lemon Lavender and Peppermint
Some of the basic oils that are used quite often by many are Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint. Ohh, you have to smell these! They are more potent and aromatic than you may imagine. I know they were for me at first. I had purchased oils from a local health food store and they smelled good but they were no match for these Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils. I have to admit that I used them for cleaning because I didn't want to waste the money I spent on them.This trio is awesome together. My first use of them was for allergies. 2 drops of each and I could throw away all of my allergy medicines. I used to suffer from sinus congestion and pain accompanied by sore throat and sneezing. I am happy to say that I don't have to bother with those things any more.
Allergy symptoms aside, there are a myriad of uses for these fabulous oils. Check 'em out! There is a document that doTerra uses called 101 uses for Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint. For a copy of this document, look here.
After you've read all these great uses from household cleaners to illnesses to mood enhancement and cooking, come on back and we will continue this journey together.
Welcome!
I have procrastinated in starting this blog simply because I have so much good stuff to share that I didn't know where to start. I want to share with all who will listen about the amazing experiences that I have had on my essential oil journey. I believe that it will help a lot of people with health problems, pain, emotional issues, and general balance and happiness. I use doTerra essential oils. As far as I know, they are among the purest and most effective oils that are all natural and sourced in environmentally responsible ways. The beautiful essential oils of doTerra have amazed me in the things they can do and how consistent they are with these results. Try them! If you are unsure, contact me and I will be happy to send you a sample to see for yourself. If you have a specific ailment or discomfort of a physical or emotional nature, let's talk. There is no need for you to suffer silently. I have an oil for that! I want to share some essential oil blend recipes, ways to use essential oils, why essential oils are important and some of the science behind it. The intention is to help educate on how they can enhance your life and your health as you take care of yourself and your family. Sound good?Some Essential Oil Basics
Ok, let's start with what essential oils are. They are natural aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of plants. (definition is from doTerra.com.) Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends toward more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.
doTerra CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distributed from plants that have been patiently (and responsibly) harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world.
Why you should care
It doesn't take a genius to know that our healthcare system is broken. We are being prescribed medications that cause side effects that need medications to fix. I don't mean to bash medical professionals - not at all. I respect what they do in a system that can't put patients first. Essential oil use puts some of the power to improve our health back into our own hands.Then there is our environment - not just the environment outside our homes but inside. Things like cleaners and cosmetics and pesticides are slowly (or quickly in some cases) introducing toxins into our bodies that impair our health.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the food we eat. Hormones in animal products and pesticides on plant products and GMOs (genetically modified foods) are all things that should cause us concern if we want to optimize our health.
Enough of the bad news
So here's the best news ever... there's hope! Essential oils can enhance our health and well being without nasty side effects. The word doTerra means gift of the earth. The healing, my friends, has been provided for us all along. doTerra has made it easy to access. So let's do this!
