I was just a skeptical as you may be!

At first I just loved all the beautiful smells of the oils. Until one day when my husband

dōTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil

was struggling with a health issue that went on for 3 weeks. He was convinced it was one thing and had testing done for that, but it wasn’t that at all. It was a seasonal threat – very temporary. But he didn’t believe it until I began feeling just like he did. I’m normally full of energy and stamina, but when I began feeling like him, I panicked. I needed support FAST! I was caring for twin toddlers that kept me on my toes! I had read of the supportive comfort found with pure, therapeutic grade Peppermint, so I slathered it all over where I ached. Within about a minute, all the aching was soothed and I was back on my feet. A couple hours later I began to feel yucky again, so I slathered my supportive Peppermint once more. To my amazement all discomfort left me again and never came back. After that, each time anyone in the family felt discomfort, I reached for the Peppermint.

Since we were loving Peppermint, we decided to branch out to other oils too. We were very impressed with how amazing they were for us. So you can guess what the biggest reason to consider transitioning to natural solutions would be… YES…

Concept #1 for Transitioning to Natural Solutions… The Health Benefits

The more I see my friends and associates struggle through discomfort, it strikes it home for me… I need to teach people there is HOPE for improving your quality of life!

On Guard helps support proper immune function and increases protection against seasonal and environmental threats.

Balance supplies support for my emotions. I used just a drop on the bottom of my feet each morning to keep that even keel.

Lavender is my go to oil to soothe skin irritations and promote healthy sleep patterns

Tea Tree is my go to when I feel sneezy or stuffy. Just a little across the bridge of my nose and my sinuses feel stronger.

Please don’t take it from just me… do your research! doTERRA’s mission is to provide the best, purest, strongest essential oils to the world at the best price. Click Here for a good place to begin your research. 

Concept #2 There is Hope in Knowledge & Safety

In my Peppermint story above, I need to be honest… we used WAY MORE Peppermint than we needed to. We practically bathed in it. That’s not necessary and can cause more harm than good if we had continued that practice.

Here’s how to use them:

A word on diluting. Allow me to preface this with the amazing fact that doTERRA does more research, and compiles more data on essential oils than anyone in the world. I feel safe knowing there’s a very competent team of doctors and scientists behind every oil or product they offer. So when doTERRA suggests an oil is safe to use undiluted, I believe them wholeheartedly above anyone else. However, diluting is actually more a way of delivery. When you apply an oil undiluted, or “neat”, there is a certain amount of flash evaporation that occurs, so the safe amount of 1-2 drops applied topically may not all go into your body. When you add a drop of premium carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil, flash evaporation is prevented, and the delivery into the body is slowed down. This allows for a deeper penetration.

Concept #3 Begin Smart

If you’re using essential oils now, do your due diligence. Allow me to tell you the reasons why I chose and stay with doTERRA. I know they only use plant matter and nothing synthetic in their oils. Plus they provide a way for you to know exactly the purity of each batch of essential oils.

The level of integrity of the founders of doTERRA surpasses most other companies in this area. And the icing on the cake is their Healing Hands Foundation. They provide a way for their customers to contribute with each order. And when we do, not one cent is taken out for administrative fees. Every single dollar goes to those in need.
