Essential Oils vs. OTC Medications - A Medicine Cabinet Makeover!


Oh how I love my medicine cabinet makeover!  I think everyone needs one. It's amazing how many medications I've accumulated for all kinds of different ailments. I had Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Aleve for different degrees of headaches, tums for heartburn, pepto for tummy issues, allergy meds...my list goes on and on. What's even worse, I start to think about all of the side effects, short and long term, and it's a little scary to wonder hat kind of damage I've done to my body.

NOT ANYMORE!!!

Now I am not saying to cut all OTC or prescription medications out of your life and only use essential oils from now on because I do believe that sometimes our bodies my need more than what we can give them and I am most definitely not saying to ignore your doctors orders! I am simply sharing information and my experiences to encourage you to really look at your medicine cabinet to see if there are any safer, cheaper, more effective ways to treat yourself. Again, doTERRA does not claim to treat or cure illness, the oils are simply a safe and effective to assist the body in healing itself! 


One of the things I get asked a lot is aren't essential oils more expensive than over the counter medications. In most situations, they aren't. This picture helps to give an idea of the cost comparison using doTERRA CPTG essential oils vs. OTC medication. (The doctor visit cost is assuming you have insurance, without could be several hundreds of dollars)
 


 I LOVE the versatility of essential oils! Unlike OTC medications where you have a limited use for each individual medication, you can use essential oils for so many different things. You can use them on their own, but you can also layer them or mix them together using tried and true recipes. The flu shot in a bottle is one of my most used recipes in my house! Anyone starts to get the sniffles and I have my roller bottle out, rubbing this mix onto the bottoms of their feet. Works wonders for my family!
