One Of Those Days!

Deep breath in...let it out, deep breath in...let it out....

Today has been one of those days! You know what I'm talking about...you wake up a little cranky, your back is a little sore because you slept funny, maybe it's that time of the month, you are irritable and your kids can't seem to get along right from the get go..yes..one of those days!
 
Well lucky for me (and my family!!!), I have three super awesome oils to help get me out of this funk! I have to share these oils with you right this moment because they have saved my life today!  Ok so maybe I'm being a little overdramatic but I am because I can!


The first oil sent to me from the angels is called Clarycalm and it is another one of doTERRA's AMAZING blends in fact all three oils I'm talking about today are! This is their women's monthly blend and it really does work like a charm!

My favorite way to experience this oil is to put a drop of it in my hands, cup and inhale. I LOVE the way this oils smells and can help calm me down immediately!

I roll it on my abdomen for cramps and within moments I am feeling better! This oil blend is definitely in my top 10 must have essential oils!


The second of my savior oils is called Balance and it does exactly what the name implies. This is doTERRA's grounding blend and it is geared towards the body's central nervous system.

I love to massage this oil on the back of my neck and along my spine on my lower back. This one helps me with anxiety and mood swings and takes about 10 or so minutes to really kick in! You can also put a drop in your hands, cup and inhale!

 The last, but definitely not least, oil blend that I use it Serenity and like Balance, it does exactly what it's name implies!! This is doTERRA's calming blend and it's one of my favorites, especially when layered with Balance!

I typically apply Serenity in the same spots I've applied the Balance. I like to wait a minute in between oils to give them a chance to soak in individually because I find that, at least for me, this helps the oils to work more effectively! It's a fantastic stress reducer and helps to lower blood pressure.

The Balance and Serenity are also great for anyone (including children) who deals with ADD, ADHD, Autism and/or bi-polar disorders. There are so many different ways these oils can be used and it's amazing the results you see! Don't believe me? Try them..I promise you will thank me!

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!

You've Got Your Oils...Now What?

If you are anything like me, you ordered your oils and then waited impatiently for the mailman to drop them off in within the next couple of days (yes, doTERRA typically ships that quickly) and when they arrive, you rip open the box ready to use everything! You start pulling out your oils and realize that you aren't exactly sure what to do with them. 

There are 3 ways you can you doTERRA essential oils!

 

 

 

 AROMATICALLY- Breathe in, or use a diffuser to kill germs in the air, open airways and/or affect mood, including depression!

INTERNALLY- This method is specific to doTERRA essential oils! You can take them in a gel capsule, under your tongue or in a glass of water to help relieve issues in the digestive tract, mouth & throat, liver and urogenital tract. There are a few oils that should not be ingested so be sure to do your research! 

 

You can read more about taking the oils internally on the doTERRA blog here!

 

TOPICALLY- Apply oils to localized areas, from the bottom of your feet, the oils enter your blood stream within 30 seconds! Apply to head, feet, ears, chest and/or the back of the neck!

 

 

 

 A perfect example of an oil that can be used for all three of these way is the OnGuard! It is my favorite doTERRA oil blend and by far the oil I use the most on my family and in my home! I diffuse OnGuard in my home to kill germs in the air and to provide immune support to myself and my family. I use it to wipe down doorknobs, cupboard handles, the phone, and anything else might get handled a lot.  I also use OnGuard daily in capsules as an added boost to my immune system and if I'm feeling especially punky that day, I might add a drop or two under my tongue to help get rid of any yuckies that might be brewing.  If me or anyone in my family have a cold, sore throat, or other flu symptoms, I'll pull out my OnGuard and massage a drop into the bottoms of each foot to fight them! I LOVE OnGuard!!!

 

 

I recommend that before you use any essential oils, as I mentioned above, do your research!  Make sure you have a general idea of how each oil works so you can get the most benefit from using them. There might be times when you need to use an oil with a carrier oil like olive oil, or fractionated coconut oil because of sensitive skin, or because you are using a "hot" oil like Oregano, Clove, Cinnamon and Thyme so you will definitely want to know what you are working with!
