Flavor Your Water

Water is so important for us to drink regularly! Ditch the sodas and the sugary juices and make the switch to water flavored with essential oils. Lemon water is so good but I also love a drop of lime and wild orange.

DoTERRA for Dogs

Here are some important things to remember when you intend to use essential oils on your dog.

·  Dog’s sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Do not apply the oils directly on or around your dog’s nose or eyes. What smells good to you may be very irritating to your dog, especially if he cannot escape the smell. Try the bottoms of the paws (between the pads) or the ear flap or back of the neck.

·  Be cautious about using stimulant-type oils with your dog if she is pregnant, ill or epileptic. Research your oil for possible side effects before you use it.

·  Always dilute your oils and start with the smallest dose possible until you know how your dog will react. Test the oil by holding the bottle out for him and see his reaction. Let your dog decide if he wants the oil! My dog Willow runs to me when I use Balance and Frankincense and I always share with her.

The book, Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals, by Kristen Leigh Bell, has the 20 best and worst oils for dogs. A few examples include:

Best: Lavender, Geranium, Basil, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Eucalyptus and Frankincense.

Worst: Cassia, Oregano, Birch, Camphor and Wintergreen.

Oils vs. OTC Medications

Essential oils can replace your everyday medications and you will not get all the side effects.

Peppermint = headaches
Digestzen = indigestion
Lavender = sleep aid

doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil

My doTERRA Story.....

I was introduced to doTERRA through my chiropractor's wonderful wife.

My son, Alex had been sick and I had given up on over the counter medicine by almost the end of the second week. I didn't want to continue medicating with something that just was not working.

I was given the opportunity to try some samples of doTerra Essential Oils. I was pretty sure this was going to be some company/product that was not going to work. I was told to rub these oils on his feet before bed. Really!? Ok whatever, I was willing to try it.

Alex was so congested and his coughing was enough to drive any mother insane! So we applied several oils to his feet at bedtime.
Within a half hour, he was sound asleep and no coughing. By morning he was sounding about 50% better. He was treated a few more days and he was completely healed.

I use these oils now instead of medicine and we dont even go to the Dr. Actually as a family we have not been sick as much since using doTERRA oils.

I have also used these oils to help me quit smoking! Yes you heard that right, this girl is smoke free thanks to doTERRA!

With all that being said, I would like to help each one of you become healthier naturally with doTERRA Essential Oils!
