With so many of my friends struggling with that respiratory illness right now, I thought to approach a very controversial subject… If you feel something coming on, or if you’re already ill…
- Don’t give up! Apply On Guard to bottoms of your feet, and where ever you feel discomfort. Gargle with it, make it into tea to drink, put it in your oats. 1-2 drops at a time, 3-4 times a day or when you need the comfort.
Why On Guard?
When Dr. Hill created Thieves, he used Lemon. After more research, he decided with On Guard to use Wild Orange instead of Lemon. Why? Wild Orange is higher in monoterpenes and d Limonene! While Lemon Essential Oil is good for supporting the respiratory system, Wild Orange has a wider range of benefits. It may also help support the proper function of the digestive, immune, and nervous systems along with the respiratory system. But there’s one more concern… I have friends who started using Thieves in 1996 and found it to be really effective for 3 or 4 years. Then, sadly, the smell changed so that clove was the strongest scent and cinnamon was WAY less. The effectiveness diminished as a result. They have found On Guard to be as effective as Thieves was originally. And yes, you can safely ingest On Guard because the species of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Globulus that is used in On Guard is safe to ingest.
There are a few On Guard products that we never run out of… The hand wash, the hand sanitizer (which we also use as a throat spray) and the beadlets! We are forever grateful for the On Guard family of products!
Amid time & health challenges, we managed to have a wonderful year of love, family and friends! The year began with Loretta getting to visit dear friends in Oklahoma. Ben & Dani Montoya have been our close friends for 25+ years! We had fun being together, shared some doTERRA and made more friends in the process! I loved getting to be there with all of them.
We love him so much! It was even more thrilling when we got to talk with him at Thanksgiving time!! We enjoyed such a wonderful time with all the Smith family! It’s so nice they are now in Utah. (Brian & Staci are now teaching at BYU!) Geoff especially enjoyed playing guitar with his grandsons! This is a picture at a restaurant right before the food frenzy began… I couldn’t believe all the food those 5 grandsons put 
away! It was a great visit, and the highlights were getting to talk to Parker and Brian getting to meet Karen for the first time! We love that Karen is in our family now.
Bowl!
through thick and thin! I’m so excited for the new year when we implement all the training she received in her last trip to Prague. We’re going to simplify and relaunch our doTERRA biz. It’s our hope to be able to help more people the way we have been helped with these amazing products!
friends & family. I may depend way too much on his dependability and organization! Alex has a brilliant ability to see the whole picture. He is like a sponge, constantly learning, but has the gift of being able to explain everything. Maybe he will be President some day! I’m just grateful they get themselves up and off to Seminary every morning without my help! This shot is of them at their first high school choir performance.
Frankincense promotes a healthy inflammatory response and acts as an overall tonic to the body’s systems, helping them function optimally. We like to rub it on our hands after a long day of gardening for a warming and soothing effect. Rubbing it in prevents it from flashing off. Rubbing it in drives it into the cells. Frankincense also promotes youthful, radiant–looking skin and slows the signs of aging by reducing the appearance of skin imperfections, stretch marks and scarring including those raised keloid scars. It can be applied to the bottoms of feet to promote feelings of relaxation and to balance mood. Personally, I have enjoyed using it when my throat feels weak or scratchy. 2 drops of Frankincense and 2 drops of Myrrh in a small amount of raw local honey and my throat is strong again in no time. I have also used it in my neti pot for opening up breathing.
extremely rare, and very expensive because it takes 66 pounds of plant matter to fill 1 5ml bottle. This amazing oil is the strongest support to a healthy immune system, but it also holds the chemistry that helps calm tension and nerves and promotes feelings of relaxation. My personal favorite use is for those pesky cold sores. I’ve never used anything that worked faster or more efficiently. The instant I detect something brewing, I put a TINY amount on the area every 30 minutes for about 3 or 4 times, and usually I can divert an eruption. It stings because it’s very strong, so just a tiny amount is sufficient. Normally Melissa wholesale is $115, but you can save this month by getting Melissa for $20 off – it’s worth every cent!
