ESSENTIAL OILS
HEY YOU. YOU’RE AT THE RIGHT PLACE. THAT IS, IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH ANY OF THESE:
-
You’ve been on a health journey for the last few years, but you’ve tried a lot of things that haven’t worked, and you’re hoping for an answer
-
You’ve dabbled with a few essential oils as in the past and you’ve had pretty good results and now you’re ready to see some real-life uses
-
Maybe you don’t know anything about natural remedies. You’ve heard about essential oils, but you have no idea how they could help you or how to use them. It honestly seems overwhelming, and you don’t have the time to dig through the whole internet to find answers. Either way, you are ready for a change and you’re open to learning more, which I think is the biggest step. Sometime we can get so stubborn with new information that we miss out on the life we could have had if we had just listened with an open mind.
When it comes to natural remedies, I notice that people are on a wide range of a spectrum. On one end there are people who are really into natural healthcare, so much so that they think any modern solution is evil. And then you have people that are so far on the other side that they believe anything modern is safe to use and that anything natural is voodoo. And then you have people who are kind of in the middle. Where would you find yourself on that scale? I’m in the middle. I think modern solutions are inspired, I think we have a lot of opportunities today. However, I do feel like we’re way over-prescribed, as a people. And I’ve come to learn, since using these essential oils, that when the earth was created, we were blessed with natural medicine!
WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
So, WHY would you use essential oils? Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, flowers, bark, rind, and leaves of plants, extracted and distilled for health benefits. Have you ever squeezed the rind of an orange and noticed that mist that squirts into the air? That mist is an essential oil! Did you know that a drop peppermint oil is as powerful as 28 cups of peppermint tea? Essential oils are 50-70x more powerful than the herbs themselves. That’s incredible. What’s also incredible is because they are so powerful, one dose is only 1 drop! I think the hardest part is that while most of us can jump on board that herbs & plants have cool uses, most of us don’t want have to figure out how to grow all our own herbs and figure out our own concoctions. I know that peppermint tea is good for occasional nausea and helps settle the stomach, but I’m not going to stop on the side of the road and brew up some peppermint tea when somebody gets motion sick on our road trip! I’d rather use a dab of peppermint essential oil on my tongue and be on my way. And that’s what essential oils provide – the historically proven health benefits, with easy use.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Essential oils work rapidly and are incredibly effective. They work with the body to address issues and root causes on a cellular level. Hundreds of different compounds provide complex and versatile ability to combat threats without building up resistance. Essential oils are unique in that they are very light in molecular weight. This gives them the ability to absorb quickly into the skin and work on a cellular level.
HOW DO YOU APPLY ESSENTIAL OILS?
There are three main ways: aromatically, topically, and internally. (Note: if you do plan to use oil internally, make sure you are only using pure, high-quality oils!)
• Aromatic – Great way to disperse the molecules in the air
• Topical – Anywhere on skin where you have issue, be sure to avoid eyes & ears
• Internally – Only highest grade of oils, always dilute when taking internally
DIFFERENT GRADES OF ESSENTIAL OILS:
Let’s talk about the #1 mistake most people make when using essential oils, and don’t worry, I made this mistake too… I didn’t understand the grades of essential oils, so I bought cheap oils from health food store. The problem? They didn’t work! The solution? Use high quality oils! With dōTERRA oils you only needed to use 2-3 drops per use, so the cost per drop is incredibly low, which is more budget friendly.
Through continuing to educate myself on essential oils, I learned why doTERRA essential oils made all the difference in the effectiveness: they’re the best oils available on the planet. doTERRA essential oils are sourced indigenously from around the world, from sustainable farming methods, and where those crops grow best. They are then batch tested for potency using 7 different methods. Lastly, they’re bottled undiluted without any fillers, additives, preservatives, artificial colors or fragrances. What you’re left with as the consumer is, quite literally, liquid gold.
CHOOSE WHICH OILS SUIT YOU BEST.
If you could write down your top 3 health concerns, what would they be? Oils can help encourage healing for almost anything. You can buy the oils one at a time or you can buy in a kit. The kit offers a much bigger discount and will provide you with the “backbone” of your essential oil tool belt.
