Trying to Incorporate Essential Oils into Your Daily Life?
Are you looking for new ways to incorporate essential oil use in your life? This week we are highlighting the three main ways to use essential oils. Because of the purity of dōTERRA Essential oils, you can use them aromatically, topically, or internally. When using essential oils, pay attention to the labeling on the product because some oils have usage restrictions.
For more in-depth instruction on essential oil usage, check out this page!
“Enjoy an essential oil aromatically by diffusing it through an essential oil diffuser, applying a drop to your hands and inhaling, or wearing it as a personal fragrance. You can benefit from topical use by using essential oils to give a back massage, applying it to a targeted area and rubbing it in, or by adding a drop or two to lotions or moisturizers.
The last way to use essential oils is by ingesting them or taking them internally. Add a drop to a glass of water, under your tongue or in a veggie capsule and the oil will move throughout your body. “ Remember, due to purity and strength, only drink essential oils in liquid that is in glass or stainless steel.

It’s a Dazzling December!
Some of the BEST gifts come from Mother Nature!
It’s been a tradition that dōTERRA offers a free Frankincense with every 200 pv* order (Limit 4 separate orders) but we were wondering how they would be able to do it with nearly 9 million customers this year! But they have!
Frankincense is the granddaddy of essential oils… the king of essential oils, given to the Christ child by the Wisemen. It was revered then and now for the power it holds to encourage normal cellular growth and restoration. Did you know… 85% of all Frankincense production in the world is done by dōTERRA! Its EXTRAORDINARY health benefits support brain and cellular function and it’s #1 for reducing inflammation. It offers feelings of peace, relaxation and overall wellness! dōTERRA’s Frankincense is actually more potent and powerful because we take 4 varieties of Frankincense and combine them together to create a more diverse, or a “super Frankincense”. I like to put 2 drops under my tongue each morning to support my body. It strengthens the immune system, promotes cellular health, and it’s safe to consume daily for internal benefits.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.
Milady Melissa is a powerful part of this royal court! Other companies often attempt to disguise other oils and say it’s Melissa, dōTERRA’s Melissa is the real deal. It’s 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!
And Clove powerful in it’s own right! It scores 1,078,700 on the ORAC scale compared to blueberries at 2400. What that means is… Clove’s Antioxidant capacity is equal to 450 pounds of carrots, 120 quarts of blueberries, or 49 gallons of beet juice. And since you probably don’t eat that much carrots, blueberries or beet juice in a year’s time, it’s very convenient to just use the essential oil that is certified pure and at therapeutic strength! Antioxidants help the body protect itself from the rigors of oxidation or free radicals, that overwhelm the body’s natural free-radical defense system. In time, and with repeated free radical attacks that the body cannot stop, that damage can lead to a host of chronic diseases.
Mother Nature provides thousands of different antioxidants in various amounts in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes. When the body needs to put up its best defense, especially true in today’s environment, antioxidants are crucial to maintaining your good health. Clove is my go to for this purpose! We love that it’s FREE this month when purchasing through a Loyalty Rewards Program with 125 PV by the 15th. Plus these cute little ornaments come with it! You can drip the oil on the ornaments for a lovely aroma with benefits! It’s not just a pretty smell, but strengthens all who smell the aroma!

Both are beautiful gifts for loved ones or yourself! It’s the only way to enjoy the YarrowPom collection before Jan 1st. Plus it’s more affordable to try the new additions to the YarrowPom family! Hurry! These items sell out FAST!

Sweet Magnolia!
Oh how we LOVE Magnolia!
Magnolia contains the highest amount of Linalool compared to other flowers – 71%! That’s twice as much as lavender, which means it’s relaxing and calming for skin health, gastrointestinal cleansing, immune boosting, and good for sweet sleep. It’s similar to Helichrysum and Melissa. Due to its Linalool chemistry, It’s wonderful for pain or inflammation. Along with the sedative qualities, it also helps chronic sadness, and is great for severe anxious feelings. This Touch version makes it very economical to have and carry in your purse or pocket
Known as The Oil of Compassion, Magnolia creates a tender place within the heart to learn important lessons from a higher plane of consciousness about human interconnectedness and how to live in love and harmony. It encourages individuals to be tender and compassionate with one another showing mercy and maternal nurturing. It increases empathy for fellow human beings revealing the natural bond that is between us all.
