Cleanse

Not sure why you need grapefruit? Here are some ideas:

Add to your facial routine to improve the appearance of blemishes (avoid sun exposure afterwards).

Diffuse while dieting or trying to lose weight to increase motivation (try mixing it with peppermint!)

Dilute with carrier oil, then apply topically for smooth, clear skin

Add one to two drops to your water to support a healthy metabolism (it's especially delicious when added to sparkling water)

What are YOUR fav ways to use Grapefruit oil?? 👇

GRAPEFRUIT FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Yep, it's true!

Even science backs up the thought that grapefruit can enhance metabolism and reduce appetite. (Here's an article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304394005001084)

"Diffusing grapefruit oil or adding a drop or two to water has notably decreased my appetite and sugar cravings-- I especially love adding grapefruit to a glass of sparkling water when I'm feeling a craving for soda coming on!" - Jill Winger

Trying to conceive? Here are some really easy ways to use essential oils to boost your fertility!

One of the most effective ways to balance hormones is with Grapefruit essential oil and the Clary calm touch roller.

Start taking up to 16 drops of grapefruit throughout your day. You can add it to your water (yum!) or take it in a capsule. Stress often plays a role in infertility due to increased cortisol. This is because cortisol inhibits progesterone production. Grapefruit essential oil stops this process from happening and therefore encourages healthy progesterone levels.

In addition use your Clary calm touch roller on your abdomen 2x a day to balance hormones.

You also may want to consider doing a cleanse to rid your body of candida and accumulated toxins. The Essential Midwife is a great resource and outlines this protocol beautifully here:

Remember, be consistent and have patience. Healing your body and setting the stage for baby can take time ❤️

Grapefruit is an amazing oil to have in your home for all members of the family to benefit from.

Use it in your diffuser to kick out cranky moods, be it your own furrowed brow or a beloved family member who needs an attitude adjustment.

In your water to beat off cravings and make your water intake increase because it tastes so darn amazing.

In your favorite DIY cleaning recipes…trust me, you’re lungs will thank you for cleaning without the toxic fumes that most cleaning products have. Hey, you may even enjoy cleaning a LOT more because it smells so good and improves your mood. Citrus oils promote happy feelings!

Add a few drops to yogurt with some berries on top, yum!

Add to whipping cream and use to dip fruit in or to top off your favorite dessert!
With Fractionated Coconut Oil, add one or two drops on desired areas. Massage for refreshing, smooth looking skin.

It's here! It's time! Time for the Clean Slate Cleanse! Grab (or order) your cleanse products and set aside 30 days to cleanse and renew your body for 2019! Your body will thank you!

It's that season. Coughs, colds, flu, bronchitis...and if most moms are anything like me, we're so busy making sure our kids (and spouses) get well that we tend to get run down ourselves.

Our oils are AMAZING for recovery (and prevention!), but sometimes we need more. We can create protocols for ourselves that include oils, but also include:
proper rest sufficient water intake (hydration)
ALL the immune support oils: Arborvitae, Copaiba, Frankincense, Lemon, Tea Tree, Breathe, On Guard, and many others! dōTERRA supplements like LLV, PB Assist+, DDR, & Mito2Max
Vitamins like Vitamin C & D, plus Zinc receiving the Symphony of the Cells Infectious Disease protocol, and/or the AromaTouch Technique
soaking in an Epsom salt bath infused with some FCO and healing oils like AromaTouch, Copaiba, Serenity, and a drop or two of Lemongrass and some incredible nutrition in the form of chicken bone broth or Magic Mineral Broth (for vegetarians)--it's wise to pre-make these and store in the freezer for easy reach when you need them!

Remember that the greatest gift we can give ourselves when we're ill is some quiet downtime, and being patient with ourselves as we heal. Sleep, oil up, listen to a book on Audible, and get well soon!

Magic Mineral Broth recipe, from Rebecca Katz, MS, Author, Educator

Getting a good sleep as a mom is so important. We need our sleep to have energy to look after our little humans, home + work responsibilities. One of the best go to's for a good sleep (especially when your mind is racing at night with things to do) is the following Mommy Sleep Protocol:

-Put on your diffuser 30 minutes before bed with 2 drops Lavender + 1 drop Vetiver, let it fill the room and settle down with a good book.
-Take 1 Serenity SoftGel internally.
-Put 1-2 drops Lavender + 1 drop Vetiver on the bottoms of your feet.
-And especially because we need to be knocked out, feel free to put a drop or two of Lavender on your pillow.

Good Night.

Kids LOVE oils! Kids LOVE taking ownership of their health! Kids also LOVE routine! So, here are some suggestions to incorporate oils into your kids daily routine to help them live the best version of themselves!

Diffuse: Always have a diffuser going! In the morning, try an uplifting blend like Cheer or Wild Orange and Peppermint

When getting ready for the day, swipe Balance on their spine and On Guard (or Stronger) on their feet.

Breakfast: A to Z Vitamins and if they are ok with pills, swallow an On Guard beadlet.

In school bag: Stronger for germ prevention, Thinker to help focus, and On Guard Mist for all the time. Seriously.

After school: Swipe on Thinker and diffuse motivate to help get homework done.

Dinner: Eat a PB Assist Jr for dessert.

Bedtime: Epsom salt bath with a calming oil like lavender. Lotion all over body with lavender or roman chamomile. Roll juniper berry on the back of neck to help with happy dreams. Add Calmer to their feet or chest and a little more Stronger to keep your kiddo healthy. Try diffusing lavender, wild orange and cedarwood to aid in a restful sleep.

What are some of YOUR favorite protocols with your kiddos? Please share!

Teenagers! You hear people complain about them and then once you have one, you understand why!! Their brains are changing so much that it can create some interesting moments for parents! Thankfully, doTERRA can help both of you navigate these new waters! Here are my two must have Teen Health Hacks:

Get your teen on LLV. My teens take 1 of each of the 3 supplements morning and night. This foundation will allow your child to think better and help balance emotions! If you notice your teen is having a hard time focusing, take an extra xoMega to nourish the brain. My son takes an extra one before every baseball game.

Copaiba. Every single day. Copaiba will help your teen be a nice human. :) Under the tongue or do the softgels. Copaiba allows my son to be reasonable and look outward. If your teen is grumpy, tell them to go take copaiba + put on 3 oils of their choice and come back in 5 minutes. I promise you that your entire discussion will go smoother!

Other products that teens love:
-Any oils in the kids kit! Not just for little kids, big kids need these basics.
-Emotional Aromatherapy System. Diffuse these oils for those moody moments and empower your teen with their own kit.
-Clary Calm for changing hormones.
-Serenity to help your teen get much-needed rest.
-Balance because it isn't easy being a teen.
-Peppermint beadlets because fresh breath is critical at this age!
-HD Clear Face Wash so keep skin clean and nice.

Teens love to be empowered so let them enjoy a diffuser in their room. This will help a ton with their mood and give them a tool to chill out every day!

Men: Did you know that oils can help you out in the bedroom? (Now I've got your attention!)

If you'd like a little assistance standing at a full salute when duty calls, add these products into your daily routine:

Lifelong Vitality Supplements: Start with a foundation of good health, optimal cellular function, and overall vitality. If you're not taking them, give them a 30 day try and see how you feel!

Mito 2 Max: This provides your body with added energy and stamina.

Sim & Sassy: Ignore the girly name and drink a few drops in your water or take the soft gels. Trust me... real men take Slim & Sassy! (There are MANY reports of this oil bringing dramatic benefits in the bedroom!)

Elevation, Sandalwood, Rosemary, Neroli, Ylang Ylang: Use these topically (dilute if you prefer) under the genitals and on the soles of the feet and the inside of the ankle. (Reflexology boys!)

Birch: (If you're lucky to get your hands on a bottle. It's only been sold at Convention.) This is reported to assist in "girth" and performance!

Are you looking for a way to deepen your emotional connection with your spouse or partner? What about a love letter???

Use this blend in a diffuser or as a roller before you write them a special love letter to express your feelings and appreciate for them.

Are hormones getting the best of the teens you know and love? Apply or diffuse a little Clary Calm to calm and soothe their inner bear.

From Presidential Diamond Diane Shephard:

" Addiction has hit home with our family. We have a daughter currently in an inpatient treatment facility working on an addiction. One thing I’ve learned through our experience is that It is just as important that family members take care of themselves as much as the addict. Here are some oils to help with both:

Family members/care takers:
Peace: Put in diffuser & rub on wrists to help calm the home.
Forgive: Slather it on!! 🙃
Cheer: Believe me, you’ll need this one! Just put in on anywhere & keep with you at all times.
Frankincense/arborvitae: rub on forehead & chest as you breath in deep for 5 min & be still. Calms your body & opens your mind.
LLV: Take these vitamins mornings& night to keep your body healthy & able to manage stress.

Addict:
Bergamot: calm agitation, alleviate depression, increase energy & is known as the oil of self love. They NEED this one!
Black Pepper: Under tongue to help with addictive behaviors such as smoking or tobacco.
Grapefruit: Appetite suppression, ease mental stress.
Lavender: calm agitation, relieve anxiety, reduce mood swings, fight insomnia
Lemon: ease anxiety and depression, increase energy and relaxation, decrease stress and overeating.
Orange: Eases withdrawals and is emotionally uplifting!
Peppermint: Helps with headaches, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and muscle aches!
Roman Chamomile: Calming and helpful for insomnia
Rosemary: Aids in the detoxification process, fights fatigue and headaches.

Do you need help with healthy boundaries? Toxic Relationships? Here is an excerpt from Desiree Mangandog's book I AM FABULOUS with a recipe on Boundaries.

"Boundaries helps you to set clear and definite boundaries with others. This blend is excellent if you believe you're a pushover who says 'yes' to everything and has a hard time saying 'no'. Some commitments, we are meant to say 'yes' to, but there are more activities we are meant to say 'no' to.

Most people who have difficulty saying no are those who care deeply about the opinions of others. But remember, the opinions of others do not define who you are. Boundaries also helps protect you from letting in people who may not have the best intentions - for example, those who take advantage, steal energy, dump their problems, lie, and have wicked hearts. This blend - by default - helps enhance the love and beauty between friends and family that have the best intentions for us.

Boundaries Recipe for a 5ml roller:
8 drops clove
12 melaleuca
5 marjoram
3 cedarwood
2 cinnamon
1 lime
fco

Apply around the belly button and then up the midline of belly. Apply once in the morning after waking and once at night before bed for 6 weeks. Further application is not necessary, as you will have learned the pattern of creating healthy boundaries."

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with" // Jim Rohn

When I first heard this from Jim Rohn, it caused some reflection. Because outside of my kids who was I spending the most time with? I realized that many of these relationships were not actually people but things I was watching like... morning news, TV shows,... these things were filling my head and I realized that I allowed these relationships were either building me up or tearing me down.

January is a beautiful time to ask ourselves... who are the 5 people that are creating me? Who can I let go? Who is no longer serving me?

You are creator of your one beautiful life. You get to decide who plays in your "life movie" what characters are willing to let go that no longer serve you... and YES they can be actual people, friendships, relationships that we might need to let go. Thank them for being in your life but the relationship no longer serves you. Maybe it is an "unfollow but remain friends" on facebook or a unfriend on Instagram.

Let Desiree Madangog's blend BYE BYE BAGGAGE support you in this powerful decision.

Blend drop breakdown:

8 Hawaiian Sandalwood

3 Frankincense

5 Cedarwood

1 Cinnamon

2 Eucalyptus

3 Lemongrass

5 Melaleuca

9 Thyme

8 White Fir

4 Douglas Fir

Place drops in a 5 ml roller bottle. Fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil. Apply to inside of elbow creases, inside of wrists and back of neck.

Post Author - Kathy Alldredge

Do you get anxious and overwhelmed sometimes? I've been there. Here are some things to try (one or all)...

Apply Balance blend to the back of your neck.

Choose your favorite citrus oil and put a drop in your hands, rub palms together and breathe in to a count of 10.

While inhaling a calming oil pray for peace and/or speak positively to yourself "I am safe, I am peaceful, I am loved, I am calm."

Apply Ylang Ylang over your heart.

If hormone related: apply Clary Calm over your lower abdomen.

Taking the time to sooth your mind and body with essential oils can be a tremendous help! Also take the time to look at WHY you may be anxious. Make sure to take your Lifelong Vitality pack supplements so your body has all it needs to be well, get enough sleep (use your oils if you struggle!) and practice these steps regularly to help manage stress.

Have you ever tried to lose weight and after some initial success, you find yourself plateauing and stuck? There’s a very good reason as to why this happens and why it’s so important. One of the roles of a fat cell is to store fat soluble toxins. When you begin to lose weight, the fat cells release their content into the blood stream, which is ideally released out of the body through sweating or the kidneys. If the elimination organs aren’t working as efficiently as needed to keep up with this toxic load, then the toxins will need to be reabsorbed so as not to harm your cells and organ systems. Think of weight loss, in part, as a toxicity issue.

One of the best ways to lose weight is to ensure that your elimination channels are working properly. You can do this through a seasonal cleanse (cleanse and restore kit) using lemon oil in your water daily and being consistent with Terrazyme and PB assist for gut and immune support.

Using dōTERRA’s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend in water frequently throughout the day as directed, supports healthy hydration and your body’s healthy elimination of toxins that might slow down your weight-loss efforts. The essential oils in Slim & Sassy are lipophilic in structure meaning they dissolve in, and can dissolve, fat-soluble compounds.

Meditation is a powerful tool that has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Spending just 10 minutes a day meditating and recentering your mind has massive benefits. If you don’t have 10 mins, take 10 seconds 3 or 4 times throughout your day. Put your focus on your environment and take deep breaths to recenter yourself. That works to help you find a little peace of mind throughout your day.

By adding essential oils such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Elevation, Cheer, Sandalwood and the dōTERRA yoga trio can assist you in connecting more deeply with yourself, elevating your mood, resetting and calming.

Essential Oils have such a powerful effect on meditation dōTERRA has done an entire Empowered Life Series on the topic. Check it out here:

“Mama! My ears hurt”

As a mom this one hurts me too. I remember before oils I didn’t know what to do. I thought my ONLY option was to wait until morning and head to the doctor.

NOW - I have tools
I always start with my oils first.

Here are my GO TOs for ear pain...

Melaleuca, Basil, Rosemary and dōTERRA Purify blend.

Apply 1-3 drops around the opening of the ear or apply to a cotton ball and place over ear opening overnight.

DO NOT use essential oils in ear.

Remember when you used to sleep like a baby...but it feels like it's been ages since you had those dreamy nights?

It's time to commit to a sleep oil routine to get the best sleep of your life...CONSISTENTLY!

SIMPLE SLEEP PROTOCOL
- 2 drops of Lavender, rubbed on the back of your neck.
- 1 drop of Cedarwood, dropped on the edge of your pillow.

STRONGER SLEEP PROTOCOL
- 2 drops of Serenity, rubbed on chest.
- 1 Serenity softgel, taken 15 min before bed.
- Bergamot & Sandalwood in diffuser.

Croup is the worst! Baby is crying, mom is scared. Watch baby carefully and give this protocol a try right away.

Croup Protocol
2 drops Breathe
2 drops On Guard
2 drops Thyme
2 drops Melaleuca
2 drops Frankincense
2 drops Peppermint

Fill 10ml roller with Fractionated Coconut Oil to the top. Roll on every hour. Roll on feet and chest and behind ears.

Run Breathe in your diffuser as well!

Strep is the worst! If you are able to catch it right away and want to support yourself or a loved one naturally here's a great protocol!

When you first notice a sore throat:

Put Oregano on your feet morning and night

Every 2-3 hours put On Guard on your neck and internally. Either adding it to your water throughout the day OR taking an On Guard Plus Softgel.

You can also gargle with 2 TBSP water and 5 drops of oregano and lemon. It will be hot and yucky but worth it! You can do this morning and night.

To support the kiddos:

2x a day put protective blend and oregano on their feet

Hope this helps someone this Winter!

Respiratory gunk just not leaving? Try this! Add equal parts Lime, Douglas Fir, Marjoram, and Breathe in a roller bottle. Top off with fco! Roll on chest.

I swear by this!

The sluggish recovery from the holidays is NO JOKE! Join me in boosting our energy naturally!

👉START with SLEEP: Get into the routine of getting good sleep with Lavender or Serenity at night.

👉FIRST in the MORNING: Use Peppermint and Wild Orange to get going in the day!

👉DURING the AFTERNOON SLUMP: Use the Cheer or Elevation blend for a gentle uplift for the rest of the day!

Have a constant sweet tooth? Start getting snacky late at night? Try this diffuser blend to zap those cravings!

Terrazyme is a miracle worker and has so many benefits! The primary benefits include:

Supporting healthy digestion and metabolism
Supporting conversion of food nutrients to cellular energy
Promoting gastrointestinal comfort and food tolerance
Supporting healthy production of metabolic enzymes

Here's an experience from someone who can now eat at their favorite restaurant with the help of TerraZyme:

When I discovered TerraZyme it may have changed my life forever for the good! I can eat at a restaurant now that used to upset my stomach. I just bring my TerraZymes with me and take 2 with my meal and i don’t have the indigestion like I did in the past. What it does is it breaks down your food so it is easier to digest."

Try this experiment at home: take some cooked oatmeal and open the TerraZyme capsule, sprinkle it over the oatmeal and then stir. Wait for about 15-20 mins and your oatmeal will be liquefied.

So imagine that in your intestines after you eat. If your food is broken down and more liquefied you are able to assimilate the nutrients in your food and you will also be more regular.

Rachel Jones says, "If I am really upset I take some DigestZen oil along with my TerraZyme and it's like the miracle tummy soother combo! Hands down one of the most beneficial and fast acting products I have used that makes my tummy happy! When Momma's tummy is happy, everyone is happy;)”

I would love to hear your experiences as well with TerraZyme! Please share below!

Why Cleansing is Important.

With the world we live in and the environment man has created over time we are all being exposed to daily toxins, free radicals, and experiencing synthetic overload. And though we may not see the effects of all of those things today we will definitely feel them in our future.

Things like acne, gastrointestinal issues, early aging, fatigue, adrenal problems, and thyroid issues are all tell-tale signs that your body is unhealthy.

When we cleanse and rid the body of all the unwanted gunk you will experience better clarity in thought process, improved sleep, more energy, vibrancy in your mood, and an overall sense of healthier well-being.

I am now in the habit of completing the dōTERRA Cleanse and Restore program twice a year and each time come out of it at an even higher state of wellness.

When you know Better you do Better and in turn Feel Better.

This is one of my family's favorite soup recipes. And I love it because it's loaded with veggies. It's easy to switch up if you don't have all the ingredients on hand or you want to add extra vegetables.

Being creative in the kitchen is a fun way to get more benefits from your use of essential oils. It's not super complicated to start cooking with your oils but does require that you THINK to grab your oil...before you reach for the dry herbs and spices.

They say there are 4 TYPES OF EXERCISE -- endurance, strength, balance, & flexibility, although I think moms with little kids should get their own category 😂! Which type do you tend to do most? If you don't do one currently, comment below on which one you'd like to take up!

Using essential oils after exercise can help reduce recovery time by increasing circulation to sore muscles (Deep Blue, Peppermint) or relaxing tight muscles (Aromatouch, Lavender) Also, to help get your mindset right, try the doTERRA's Yoga Collection of the blends Align, Anchor, & Arise!

On Guard Hand Sanitizing Mist, Hand Sanitizer

You've got to try this, Friends! Guaranteed to put a pep in your step and a smile in your heart. Energy + Mood Lifting = Winning

Most athletes are looking for extra support as they go after their goals. Essential oils and doTERRA supplements are not magical but they do offer amazing support for both pre and post workout performance. Some athletes are surprised when they discover something as simple as an essential oil may aid sore muscles and also give a boost in energy. Listed below are some of doTERRA’s products to consider

Breathe Stick is convenient, cooling and helps maintain clear airways for overall respiratory health.

On Guard is a must have for all athletes that offers protection against environmental threats and boosts immunity necessary to keep up with an active lifestyle.

Peppermint essential oil promotes clarity and gives a boost when feeling fatigued or low on energy.

We're curious, which products do you use before or after your workout and how do they support you?

Let’s face it! Exercise isn’t always something we’re excited about doing. Right? On those days, swipe Motivate & passion together on your wrists to give yourself the umph you need to just do it!!

"As a previous Yoga studio Owner & Instructor for over 10 years the Yoga Oils have been such a positive addition to the entire class and student experience! My absolute favorite is to use the three throughout the class. Right as you begin your Yoga practice open the bottle of arise and put a few drops behind your ears and on your wrists! Rub some also right under the tip of your nose and notice how invigorating and sensationally energizing that application is for starting your practice! Then through your Sun Salutations add a few drops of Align onto the front and the back of your mat. Place a drop or so to the top of your head and then notice how increasingly balanced you become through your standing practice.

About half way through add another drop of Arise to your palms and take some deep breaths to regain the strength and energy needed for the second half of your practice. Close to the end, introduce Anchor to your wrists and bottoms of the feet and notice how grounding your practice will feel as you close the energy to your internal self and open the energy to the outside world again! The Yoga oils are magical and such a beautiful addition to the practice, it will feel renewing, re-energizing, and as though you have been reborn! I don't do a practice without them!"

Every time you exercise your body percieves it as a stressful experience. This is why recovery is SO important. Grab those essential oils you have on hand and use them to reduce inflammation & swelling and promote recovery!

This blend offers anti-inflammatory benefits and promotes endurance by using the essential oils clove, cinnamon, and bergamot. Both clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) contain properties that enable higher oxygen levels in the body’s cells that result in healthy energy functions. They also work synergistically to stimulate the nervous system. Add sweet Italian citrus essential oil bergamot (Citrus bergamia), a natural adaptogen that helps the adrenal system manage the body’s response to stress and balance the metabolism. Last, essential oil of grand fir (Abies grandis) with its decongesting properties will heighten performance and along with clove, offer pain-reducing properties.

Workout Recovery Blend

1 oz. carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, olive oil)
6 drops clove
6 drops cinnamon
18 drops bergamot
10 drops douglas fir

How to Use: Apply the blend as needed before or after your workout to relieve achy muscles and joints or any problem areas you may have.

With everything we do in life, consistency is key!

The little things we do every single day either affect us positively or negatively.

Nobody likes diaper rash, especially your baby! Balance is a wonderful tool for soothing sensitive skin! Gently apply Balance blend to baby’s bum after a diaper change for a calming blissful experience.

You are going to need some Balance in your life during Spring Break. And I mean that figuratively and literally. If you have all of your kids home from school and they are like mine, you sometimes would like to stab yourself in the eyeballs with a dull spoon. Balance. Balance. Balance. I diffuse it and wear it as perfume.

Just remember that those winter germs aren't necessarily gone by Spring Break. Keep using your On Guard. Plus, give this tried and true favorite blend a whirl: Mix equal parts Arborvitae and Helicrysum in a roller bottler. Dilute it. Rub this on your kiddos all the time to keep them healthy. This blend has been super, super helpful for our family the last few months.

Keep an eye out for the start of seasonal threats as those blossoms are blooming. Kiddos (and parents) can get cranky when the season starts to change. Keep your Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint handy to fight off those threats.

When all else fails, everyone gets a turn using the Console roller on their pulse points. You got this!

Did you know that Rosemary is amazing for memory? Check this testimony out. What a great way we can support our little ones in school and even us!

Add one pouch to one cup sliced strawberries and mix for a natural, flavorful, and delicious sweetener that both children and adults will love.

One of the many benefits of essential oils is their ability to add unique flavor to everyday life. Essential oils taste great in recipes, but can also be used to freshen your breath. Create your own natural breath spray with these two easy steps and carry the power of these oils with you wherever you go.

A few oils we suggest for this DIY are Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon Bark. Each of these oils has internal benefits and provides a tasty refreshing burst of flavor.

Depending on your preference, each oil provides something unique. Peppermint essential oil has a clean, fresh and minty flavor, while Spearmint oil is minty, slightly fruity, and softer than Peppermint, and Cinnamon oil takes on a warmer, spicy flavor. Try all three, or get creative and make your own combination with other oils safe for internal use.

Ingredients
5 mL glass spray bottle
3–5 drops essential oil
Distilled or filtered water

Instructions

Place 3–5 drops of essential oil into your spray bottle

Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water

Shake well to combine and spritz in mouth for a refreshing burst of flavor

• Rosemary - This is one of the top essential oils for hair thickness & growth. It increases cellular metabolism which stimulates hair growth. It also prevents hair loss, slows the graying process and is a great way to naturally treat dandruff and dry scalp.
• Chamomile - is a great essential oil for hair because it adds shine and softness to your hair while soothing your scalp.

• Lemongrass - Has healing properties, and it works as an effective cleanser and deodorizer.
• Peppermint - Peppermint oil helps to stimulate the scalp, and it can treat dandruff and even lice due to its powerful antiseptic properties.

We know that your oils are precious cargo, and as such often you travel with them in your carry-on luggage. With carry-ons come those x-ray pre-flight screenings … so the question is, can pre-flight screenings affect your essential oils? We turned to our Director of QC and Analytical Services, Cody Beaumont, Ph.D. who headed up to the airport for some rigorous testing.

His finding: 
In response to recent inquiries about the airport screening process and the effect of x-rays on essential oil chemistry, dōTERRA’s Research and Development and the Quality Control departments have completed analytical testing to concretely answer the question: can pre-flight screenings affect essential oil chemistry? 

To answer this question, a complete set of dōTERRA essential oils was subjected to testing before and after exposure to airport screening equipment provided by the TSA, and all essential oil chemistry profiles were reviewed before and after x-ray exposure by our team of trained essential oils experts. These essential oils were subjected to 8 trips through the x-ray equipment to simulate approximately 4 round-trip flights – a test that will cover the vast majority of essential oil-equipped travelers. The results show no change to essential oil composition between initial testing and after 8 x-ray exposures. 

Our experts have concluded that any x-ray exposures which an essential oil may encounter will not result in any changes to the oil’s chemistry. You can travel confidently with your oils in your luggage, knowing that your oils will maintain their beneficial properties no matter where you go.

Diffusing Wild Orange will energize and uplift the mind and body while purifying the air. Wild Orange enhances any essential oil blend with a fresh, sweet, refreshing aroma.

Most people don’t know this, but one of my favorite ways to use essential oils is for emotional support. I really can’t imagine not using these considering the stress I have had in my life in recent years, they have been a life savor!

I use them when stressed, anxious, tired, unfocused, sad and yes -- even angry!

A little forgive blend on my solar plexus (under the ribs) and my power is back on!

When I am wanting to shift an emotion from anxious to calm, I would apply Serenity to my belly or heart while saying, “I am calm” “everything will be okay,” or “It will all work out.” The combination of words, thoughts, scents and tones from the oils will give you a powerful shift. I use oils for emotions up to three times a day, but I also rotate often because I am a human, and I don’t stay the same from day to day! Neither do you.

Feeling stuck? I will use Cypress, Ginger or Wild Orange on my chest and belly or spine and say “I trust the process of life,” or “My life is flowing forward,” or “I am moving on.”

Feeling like you've lost your power? I will apply oils with citrus blends like dōTERRA® Motivate, dōTERRA® Cheer, dōTERRA® Elevation or dōTERRA® Balance to my spine, belly and especially solar plexus (power center) and say “I am in control of my destiny,” or “I am in control of my emotions,” or “I decide how I react,” or ‘I am empowered.”

Roman Chamomile provides a sweet, floral aroma, Roman Chamomile can soothe body systems as it supports calming effects for the skin, mind and body.

Cold pressed from the peel, Wild Orange is one of dōTERRA’s top selling essential oils due to its energizing aroma and multiple health benefits. High in monoterpenes, Wild Orange possesses stimulating and purifying qualities, making it ideal to support healthy immune system function when seasonal threats are high.

We all know that Breathe is fabulous for diffusing or for topical use, but here are three less common ways I love to use this powerful respiratory blend:

Add 3-4 drops to the corner of your shower to combine with the steam to create an airway-opening shower experience

Before bedtime, rub 2 drops on the bottoms of the feet of anyone in your home who struggles with snoring

Use the “straw” method for instantly clear airways. Here’s how it works: Place 2 drops of Breathe on your palms and rub your hands together. Hold one hand flat, and make the other into a loose fist. Place your fist on top of the flat hand, then slowly inhale through the “straw” that is formed by your loose fist. It sounds weird, but it works and is more effective for me than simply cupping my palms over my face. Try it!

It's not everyday you can sneak away to the spa but with this little jar you can treat yourself any day, anytime! I love putting this body butter on my dry elbows and cracked heels, works wonders! My skin feels so soft and smooth and the best part....it smells aaaamazing!

Product testimonial from dōTERRA wholesale customer AshleyJo Rangel who cut a chunk of her finger out in an unfortunate kitchen accident. In her words: “I was in excruciating pain and was terrified of the two weeks that the doctor said my hand would take to stop hurting and start really healing because of the depth of the cut. Thanks to correct x I have no pain and it’s healing much faster and better than expected.

March 8, 2018: 
“Omg the lack of pain that I feel just from the less than 12 hours of using correct X on this wound is absolutely amazing!! I thought I was going to die last night....And even this morning when I had to go to the doctor to have the gauze that dried to the wound removed because I couldn't get it off and after applying the ointment there is no pain and already looks like this!!!!👐👐❤❤💓 Y'all this stuff is AMAZING”

March 13, 2018: 
“5 days of correct x! It's all new skin. Not raw anymore! It's level with the rest of the finger rather than a hole like it was before 😁😁”

Has the Spring Cleaning bug hit your house?!

It's in full force here! Whether you are literally scrubbing down the walls and touching up scratches on the wood floor or simply cleaning out closets, Lemongrass is your new Spring Cleaning bestie! I love what the Emotions and Essential OIls book says about this oil. It is the "oil of cleansing."

"Lemongrass encourages individuals with hoarding tendencies to courageously let go of everything they no longer need."

What area of your home are you tackling first?
