Essential Oils Basics

We started selling doTERRA essential oils in Spring, 2017. We chose doTERRA since the company uses rigorous testing for standards of purity and potency.  They source from growers around the world to get the best compound possible.  They are a little more expensive than some other oil brands, but they are 100% pure, while others are not.  If you want the best experience possible, doTERRA is the way to go.

There are three main ways you can use essential oils: aromatic (diffused in the air or inhaled), internal (certain oils only**), and topical (put on skin using coconut oil as a base). Here are some of the oils we carry:

• Deep Blue Rub - cooling and soothing for sore muscles
• Coconut Oil - a carrier for topical application of essential oils
• Balance - eases anxiety
• Breathe - clear airways and promotes easy breathing
• DigestZen - soothes bloating, gas, and stomach upset**
• Elevation - elevates mood
• Frankincense - promotes feelings of relaxation, and reduces skin imperfections**
• InTune - enhances and sustains focus
• Lavender - relaxing, and soothes skin irritations**
• Lemongrass - promotes healthy digestion**
• Melaleuca (tea tree) - cleansing, and promotes a healthy immune system**
• On Guard - promotes a healthy immune system, and a surface cleaner**
• Peppermint - promotes a healthy respiratory system, and repels bugs**
• Serenity - enhances restful sleeping, also calming
• Whisper - entices the senses, smells like a perfume
• Wild Orange - cleansing, and promotes a healthy immune system**

We offer free one hour essential oil workshops every other month.  You come away with more knowledge about the oils, and a small sample to take home.  Our September workshop focused on a healthy immune system for the Winter.  OnGuard and Breathe were the featured oils.  Come to our Retreat on October 14th to get a personalized aromatouch treatment by our doTERRA representative, or look for an upcoming workshop in November.  Happy Oiling!
