Gardening With Oils And Dealing With Summer Bugs And Burns!!

I love spring when I can plant fragrant flowers and some fruit and vegetable plants with my children. They enjoy watching the plants bloom and grow and get so excited when the fruit and vegetable plants begin producing, they really feel all the hard work they put into tending the garden was for something. It's also been a great time for us to bond as a family and work together. 
I was so excited when I learned that Essential Oils can be used in the garden to keep away those little bugs! I really like to keep my garden organic so this was perfect!


Gardening Mixtures:

16 oz spray bottle of water, 30 drops TERRASHIELD

16 oz spray bottle water, 1 tsp. natural soap, 25 drops oil, shake well.

TERRASHIELD has been my favorite and is simple to use, but if you don't have it on hand here are a few other suggestions.

THYME and LAVENDER are great for protecting all vegetables in the garden.
PEPPERMINT : Ants, aphids, bean beetle, cabbage root fly, caterpillars, black flee beetle, flies, lice, gnats, moths.
LEMONGRASS: Black flea beetle, fleas, mosquito's, and ticks.
THYME: Bean beetle, cabbage root fly, cutworm, ticks.
CLARY SAGE: Cabbage root fly,cutworm, nematodes, ticks, white fly.
ROSEMARY: Cabbage root fly and carrot fly
WHITE FIR: Slugs, snails, wooly aphids
SANDALWOOD: Weevils, wooly aphids

Another suggestion that I've heard but haven't tried is to place oil on cotton balls and place them around the garden.
Remember to spray around the plants and only under the leaves if there are any pest found on them. Use as little as possible. Two applications a day for a few days, might be necessary.

                                                 IN THE SUN SKIN CARE:



Of course being in the garden, going to the beach and the children playing outside a lot more, I began to grow concerned about the typical summer burns and what I could do to prevent that from happening and soon enough I got my answer.  I have tried this with my kids over the last few weeks and it's worked great. On my 18th month old her skin turned a little pink, I applied the same mixture on her skin when we got home and by that night the pink was gone. Now that she has a little tan built up there has been no pink skin and it is comforting to know that I'm not applying anything toxic on my kids.
Here is the recipe I used:

Sunblock- Lavender or Helichrysum with Coconut Oil 1 drop to 1-2 tablespoons. Allow to soak into the skin 10-15 mins. before you go into the sun.

                                           INSECT REPELLENT AND BUG BITES:


Bugs are so attracted to my poor little 4 years old. Every since he was a baby we'd take the kids up to the mountains and with our fail, he is the one who would come home with all the bites. That is why I am such a fan of TERRASHIELD! I've put it in a 4oz bottle with some water and sprayed it on his body every time we head out for a hike and it has worked wonders! We've also learned to spray it around the window seals of our home and even around the tent doors and windows when we're camping, it's been amazing! It's obviously all natural and none of us are receiving any toxins in our body from using bug spray. The most amazing thing is TERRASHIELD IS 10x's STRONGER THAN DEET!! SO KEEP THOSE MOSQUITO'S AWAY!!

If you or some one in your family has received a few bites, here are some suggestions that have helped us in the past that I highly recommend.

PURIFY: To help stop the itching, swelling, stinging, and to clean the bite if person has scratched the open and it needs to be cleaned.
LAVENDER: To stop the itch and reduce the size of the bite.
OREGANO or BASIL: To pull the poison out.

A few other oils to try are Peppermint, On Guard, Clove and Melaleuca.

Remember that each person and each body is different so if you didn't like the result you got with the lavender then try the purify and it will be well worth your time!

Lifelong Vitality Pack

30 Day Money Back Guarantee!
5000+ on the ORAC Scale



Our family has truly enjoyed the Lifelong Vitality Pack. Being a mother of three young children I was starting to feel extremely drained and worn. I wasn't sleeping at night, stress levels rose with they daily tasks I needed to accomplish and I just didn't feel I could do all that I needed to. I was completely worn down. My joints and back ached to the point where it was hard some mornings to get out of bed.  I went to the doctors and test were done to find out the cause. I was already currently taking vitamins so I didn't believe that that was the problem.  Test came back and I was still had large vitamin deficiency's. The doctors gave me more vitamins to take and things I hadn't even heard of before but I was well over $300.00 a month into getting myself back on track. I noticed a little change but that quickly went away and I still was having aches and pains.  Afters using the doTERRA oils and being amazed with those I decided that for a month I would try the Lifelong Vitality Pack, after all I had heard some wonderful stories about it.  After taking the vitamins for three weeks I noticed a huge difference!! I was out playing with my children, my attitude was different. I was actually losing the weight from my last pregnancy since the vitamins were helping my body to do what it needed to do and even more exciting, when I went back to the doctors three months later I was back on track. They couldn't believe how fast my body had rebound and they started asking questions about the Vitality Pack.  I've now been taking them for a year and will  never take anything else! I love doTERRA's Wellness Philosophy, it has changed mine and my husbands life.

Personal Experience with doTERRA Immortelle by Julie, Utah

My daughter runs hurdles for her HS track team. She was at a practice over spring break and her coach was pushing her to 3 step the hurdles. She hit hurdle number 5 with her trailing foot which sent her flying. She was going so fast that she did not have time to catch herself and her face hit the ground first, pretty much on her right eye. She got up with some help from the coaches and came home with marked swelling and a significant abrasion.

I had just received the Immortelle blend the previous week and knew there was valuable oils contained in it. Frankincense, sandalwood, lavender, myrrh, helichrysum and rose.
Armed with this arsenal of oils, perfect for wound care and skin rejuvenation, I went to work and immediately applied the Immortelle blend to her face (along with ice.) She was not happy because the eye and wound were so sensitive.
I gave her the “tough love” lecture and was consistently making sure the blend was applied a minimum of twice a day carefully above and below the eye and on the abrasion.
From the first day of her track accident till it was fully healed was 11 days! The first photo is from the day it happened. The second 3 days from the accident.The third image is after day 7 and the 4th image is day 11.
Her scab was starting to fall off after the 5th day with brand new healthy skin underneath and the black eye and swelling was dramatically diminished.
Immortelle increased the healing process and gave my daughter’s body the tools it needed to lay down new skin cells without creating a scar on her face.Immortelle is a wonderful addition to myskin care regimen but it is also part of my family’s first aid and wound care protocol.
Thank you for creating this blend. Immortelle saved my teenage daughters face!

Aroma Touch Technique


For Strengthening Our Mind And Body

Introduction to AromaTouch Technique

Whether you are a novice or expert in the uses and application of essential oil, doTERRA has introduced a technique that will magnify the benefits and experience of using CPTG essential oils.

The technique is simple to learn and doTERRA recommends using 8 CPTG essential oils to reduce and eliminate the impact of systemic constants on your overall health. Applying them with the AromaTouch Technique has been shown to help enhance systemic benefits and increase feelings of overall health and well-being.  After we first used the Aroma Touch Technique, both me and especially my husband who has two bulged discs were able to move a lot easier. The pain we had felt in our backs as well as other parts of our bodies were gone. We could  feel the toxins being released from our spine.  


Systemic Constants

Environmental factors have a negative impact on overall health and well-being, disturbing homeostasis - the balance our bodies need to function optimally. Such challenges, even when they do not immediately result in disease, cause our bodies to function below optimal levels. These include:


STRESS
Emotional distress, career choices, family discord, financial worries and the like elevate stress levels. Clinical studies have linked high stress and chronic stress to numerous negative health conditions.






TOXIC INSULT

Exposure to a wide array of toxic insults, including disease-causing pathogens, hormone and pesticide contaminated food products, and increasing levels of free-radicals from pollution, foods, and sunlight contribute to rises in the occurrence of varying illnesses.



INFLAMMATIONThe increased consumption of food with pro-inflammatory components (foods high in polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn and peanut oil) together with high carbohydrate, low protein diets contribute to increased inflammation in body systems. Stress, with its accompanying imbalance of cortisol, can also contribute to inflammation, as do various (and increasingly prevalent) immunological dysfunctions. Studies increasingly show links between fatal diseases and inflammation.




AUTONOMIC IMBALANCE


The opposite of homeostasis, an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (aka: the ANS or visceral vervous system) can negatively impact health in a number of ways. Restoring the body's homeostasis can reduce the physiological impact of stressors on the body.

Zones of the feet and back.

Cold and Flu Remedies

Considering all of the major recalls that have been conducted this past year on our children's over the counter medicines, I feel it is time to introduce you to a safer alternative.  For the past two years, I have been using doTERRA essential oils on my family when illness has hit our home instead of cough syrups, fever reducers, & pain relievers.  Guess what?  My natural remedies really work!  I no longer have to worry about the harmful side effects that can come from using synthetic products.  I would like to share with you my favorite home remedies for colds and flu.

The first step to take with ANY illness is to give your family OnGuard immediately.  This can be done by simply dropping 3 drops of OnGuard under the tongue (it is a hot oil, you may need to add coconut oil for small children) or have them take 4 drops of OnGuard & Lemon in a empty gel capsule.

Cold and Flu Remedies

Coughs- I apply 3 drops of Breathe or Myrrh to the chest and feet.  I diffuse the room with breathe at night.  The OnGuard Throat Drops are great to use during the day while at school or work.

* A diffuser is a like a humidifier, but made for essential oils.  Essential oils can eat through the plastic of humidifiers.  A diffuser will fill your home with a wonderful aroma of your choice while killing airborne pathogens.  Your candle can't do that!  :)

Runny Nose- I rub a small amount of Lavender under each nostrils and also on the bottom of the feet.  Lavender is a natural antihistamine.  If your child is old enough to swallow a capsule, give them 3 drops of Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint in a capsule daily.

Sore Throat- I drop 3 drops of Lemon on the tongue and swish it around or place 2 drops of lemon & 2 drops of Melaleuca in a small amount of warm water and gargle it. 

Fever- remember that fevers are the body's way of fighting off the cold/flu naturally.  We tend to treat a fever as the enemy when it is actually a friend, unless it spikes too high.  Peppermint rubbed on the feet every two hours will naturally bring down a fever.  I also rub it behind the neck.  Use coconut oil on small children with sensitive skin.

Aches- When a family member complains of aches, I will do the spinal technique on them.  Most bacteria and viruses tend to camp out in your spine, by doing this technique, you will be drawing attention to the problem and taking care of it.  This is great to do with any illness and everybody loves a back rub!
  • apply coconut oil down the spine
  • follow with 4 drops of Oregano
  • add 4 drops of AromaTouch
  • end with 4 drops of Peppermint
  • hot compress with a rice or bean pad for 10 minutes
Stomach Issues- Digestzen will be your best friend!  Apply 2-3 drops on your abdomen or take 4 drops in an empty gel capsule 3 times daily.

Earaches- Rub 2-3 drops of Basil, Lavender, or Melaleuca around the ear.  Place drops on a cotton ball and place in ear.  Never drop oils directly in the ear canal.  All studies prove that antibiotics are not effective for most ear infections.

Sinus Infection- Take 4 drops of Oregano, OnGuard, & Lemon in a capsule 3 times daily.  Rub Breathe over sinus area topically.(be careful not to get it too close to your eyes, it will burn)

The key to success is to start on the oils as soon as you  feel the first sign of a cold or flu coming on.  My family uses the oils daily which has greatly reduced that amount of illness in our home.  If my kids have friends that are sick, I have them drop the OnGuard under their tongue as a preventative.  It has worked wonderfully so far this year!

Antibiotics VS Essential Oils



















Basic Facts

The majority of us are overusing antibiotics and are contributing to the rise of 'Superbugs" (antibiotic resistant bacteria).  Most of us are uneducated about the harmful effects of antibiotics.

Antibiotics kill not only the bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria (stomach flora) in your gut.  That "good bacteria" is crucial for your immune system to function properly. 

Cells in our bodies are surrounded by an oily membrane.

Bacteria are found on the outside of these cell walls and Viruses are on the inside of the cells.

Regular antibiotics CANNOT penetrate the cell wall and so they only work on bacterial infections NOT on viruses.

Most of us are equally uneducated about the amazing benefits of essential oils.  Essential oils are highly antimicrobial.
Essential Oils CAN penetrate the cell wall and are therefore effective against bacteria AND viruses.

Essential oils have been scientifically proven to kill bacteria, virus and even "Superbugs". 
Did you know that you cannot develop a resistance to essential oils?  Every drop contains a different amount of compounds.  The bacteria CANNOT outsmart nature's medicine cabinet.  Think about that for a minute!

“Isn’t it nice that for thousands of years, nature has already provided us with a way to fight off viruses?”

I have what I refer to as my "Natural Antibiotic" that I use for almost every illness coming on. It is 4 drops each of Oregano, OnGuard, & Lemon in an empty gel capsule, 3x daily for 5 days.  For younger children, use 2 drops of OnGuard under the tongue or on the bottom of the feet.  It has NEVER failed me!

This is a MUST read!

The Last Days of Antibiotics?
By Steve Mitchell for MSN Health & Fitness
Medically Reviewed By: Pat F. Bass III, M.D., M.S., M.P.H.

“The growing problem of bacteria strains that are resistant to all but a handful of antibiotics, combined with a decline in development of new drugs to thwart the bugs, is creating the conditions for a perfect storm that could leave us vulnerable and unprotected from deadly germs.”

New antibiotics could help counter the development of resistance and keep us one step ahead of the bugs, but pharmaceutical companies have cut research in this area, leaving doctors without new weapons to fight off the germs.

“Larger pharmaceutical companies have been using less and less resources to develop new antibiotics because economically it doesn’t make as much sense to develop these as it does to develop other more profitable drugs, such as cholesterol-lowering medications,” Peters says.

Antibiotics are generally used for a week or two, but drugs for high cholesterol and other chronic conditions may be used for a lifetime, which ultimately means a larger revenue stream for drug companies.

According to IDSA, the number of new antibiotics hitting the market has dropped dramatically since the 1980s to less than four in the last five years, while the rates of people infected with antibiotic-resistant bugs has increased significantly.

Business Opportunities

SEEKING BUSINESS PARTNERS!!!

When we first started using doTERRA essential oils 2 years ago, we never thought of turning this into a business opportunity. My husband suffered for years during the winter with bronchitis and would be on 2-3 rounds of the strongest antibiotics on the market. Pretty soon the antibiotics weren't as potent as they used to be and we were concerned about how it was effecting his body. Around the same time our then 9 month old son had had 8 ear infections and currently had one at the time. After being on 4 different antibiotics our doctor kind of shrugged and told us he wasn't quite sure what to do. He heard that Basil oil had worked so we might want to consider that, if the infection didn't clear up we would need to do surgery.  Feeling helpless for my husband and for my baby a good friend brought over some of her doTERRA essential oils to try. We were a little hesitant but we're willing to try anything to not have to pump one more antibiotic into our baby and in my husband.  We applied some breathe oil to my husbands chest and he was shocked, with in about 30 seconds he could breathe again. The next day the bronchitis was gone.  Our sons ear infection also cleared up within a few days.  We have learned to incorporate the essential oils into our daily life and other than a few runny noses we have been antibiotic free for 2 years!! We are all happier, healthier and I feel like a better mom knowing that the only thing that is going into my families body are all natural and benefit them in so many ways. 

Friends, family and neighbors started to ask questions about the oils and the supplements after seeing the change in out family and everything just took off from there. We started sharing the oils and the next thing we knew we were helping to take doTERRA global!!
