Essential Oils
This is your invitation to join me on the
Path to Wellness and Success.
Essential oils have changed my life. Really, I should say they SAVED my life.
I've been using these botanical beauties for 7 years and they have become a cornerstone in my self-care routine -- Lemon in my water; Lavender in my baths and a spritz at bedtime; YlangYlang, Vanilla, and Rose as perfume; Cinnamon in hot tea, Sage during meditation, Melaleuca on bug bites and burns, Peppermint and Orange in baking, Lemon in cleaning products, Citrus Bliss diffused in my office, and Frankincense. . . let me tell you about good ol' Frank. . .
Frankincense is famous for warding off cancer in a gentle but effective way. Just ask me about it :)
That is the power of essential oils.
You can diffuse oils in the air (for cleansing the air and aromatherapy), put oils on your body to enhance your health and for perfume, bake with them, use them in cleaning, the list goes on...
The power of oils is AMAZING so I would feel terrible (and have a guilty conscious) if I didn't share this with you. You can use the oils for just about any health issue and stop right there - you'd enhance your life overall. . . OR. . . you can enjoy the oils, reap the benefits in your own life, and then turn around and share them with others.
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of freshly cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. Essential oils can lift the mood, calm the senses, and elicit powerful emotional responses. Yet, the use of essential oils goes well beyond their fragrant appeal.
Essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their health-promoting properties. Modern trends toward more holistic approaches to self care and growing scientific validation of alternative health practices are driving a rediscovery of the profound health bene ts of essential oils. Many have powerful cleansing properties. Their unique chemical structure allows them to deliver targeted benefits through topical application. Certain oils may be used as dietary aids to promote vitality and well-being.
What Are Essential Oils?
Not All Are Created Equal
If you’ve known me any length of time, you know I'm fastidious about what I put in and on my body — oils are no exception.
I researched all 'top of the line' essential oil companies, found a ton of research that unanimously pointed towards doTERRA, and then learned about a woman who did her own lab experiments. Her findings supported my research. . . unlike other companies, doTERRA oils are PURE. Meaning, there are no added chemicals, pesticides or fungicides, and they do not dilute their oils with other carrier oils. These oils are pristine - hence the magnificent effects they have on the human body.
doTERRA has developed the world’s highest quality therapeutic grade essential oils and natural wellness products. They employ a strong team of in-house scientists and highly accomplished scientific and medical advisors. They are at the forefront of scientific advances because they have partnered with selected academic, industry and medical institutions.
What Are They Used For?
Short answer? Everything!
Long answer: anxiety, depression, weight loss, acne, digestive health issues, headaches, arthritis, asthma, anti-aging, fighting cancer, insomnia, inflammation, arrhythmia and controlling blood pressure, healing from stroke and traumatic head injuries, exhaustion / energy, candida, quickly warding off the flu, bacteria / viruses / fungus, mood balance and enhancement, memory, peak brain function, detoxing, increased intimacy, perfume, room aromatherapy.
One reason I use essential oils in my daily routine is because plant life today doesn't contain the concentrated amount of vitamins, nutrients and minerals they once did (the necessary amount for the human body to maintain health and thrive) and using essential oils is the fastest way to get that necessary intake. Also, access to many plants and herbs that are so beneficial, enjoyable, and even life saving are either inconvenient or impossible to access on a regular basis (think Rain Forest). The use of essential oils is fast, easy and extremely pleasurable. They are simply delicious and divine!
I've created two images with a few of the available oils and their benefits. The first image contains single oils, and the second image contains oil blends. . .
How To Use Oils?
All application methods are safe when used appropriately, including aromatic, topical, and internal methods. One or multiple application methods can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness benefits. Use a single oil or in blends.
AROMATIC
The sense of smell elicits powerful physiologic, mental, and emotional responses. Essential oils are quickly absorbed by smell receptors that link directly to the limbic system by way of the olfactory nerve. The limbic system is part of the brain that supports a variety of functions: smell, emotions, behavior, and memory. For this reason, essential oils have an especially powerful effect via aromatic application.
-
Use oils in a diffuser in a room
-
Place a few drops of oil in the palms of your hands, cup your nose and breathe deeply
-
Apply oil to a cotton ball and place in the air vents of your vehicle
-
Mix oils in a spray bottle with water and mist over furniture, carpet, linens, shoes, and clothes
-
Add oil to laundry: in the washing machine, to dryer sheets, or wool dryer balls
-
Use in household surface cleaners
TOPICAL
Topical application is a very effective method for applying essential oils. Essential oils easily penetrate skin and once absorbed, they stay in the applied area for localized benefit. Put essential oils directly on skin, put in lotion, shower scrubs, bath bombs, use as perfume, mouthwash, in your bath. . . the list is endless!
*avoid sensitive areas
INTERNAL
Internal use is a safe and effective because of the sophisticated physiologic processes of our bodies. Oils produce health benefits as well as adding flavoring and aroma properties to foods.
In their concentrated form, essential oils can be used as dietary supplements for targeted and potent health benefits. When ingested, essential oils directly enter the blood stream via the gastrointestinal tract, where they are transported throughout the rest of the body: all organs, tissues, and cells, including the brain.
Each oil possesses a unique set of biochemical properties that react with cells and organs in different ways. Proper dosing according to labeling recommendations and other professional guidelines should be strictly followed.
Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal, peppermint in your tea, use many of the oils in cooking and baking to enhance flavor and give a nutrient boost to your food & body.
You Have A Few Choices:
You can use the oils just for you and your family and reap the benefits, OR. . . you can share (and sell) the oils with others. Either way, directions for both are below.
EITHER WAY. . . if you want to enjoy the oils just to enhance your life or if you want to share with others. . . this is where you can join me on The Path to Wellness and Success.
Options:
-
SHOP: purchase a few oils at full price from my page
-
Join & Save as a "Wholesale Customer" to enjoy 20% off all orders. There is a one-time fee of $25 (but you immediately get a gift worth that - a free oil!). I don't recommend this option: it cost just $10 more to become a "Wellness Advocate" and you get WAY more benefits.
-
Join & Save: as a "Wellness Advocate" to enjoy 25% off all orders and. . . sell oils to others! One-time fee of $35 (but again, you immediately get a free oil worth that just for joining and if you purchase a kit, the $35 fee is waived).
Here's how to get your hands on these botanical beauties. . .

I recommend the 'Home Essentials Enrollment Kit'. This kit offers the best value, has larger bottles of oils, the greatest diversity of the smaller kits, and includes a diffuser.

You can always order in the future as well. There's no obligation to buy or sell EVER, unless you want to make commissions from sharing oils with others.
