If you have kids, chances are you've experienced a baby with a red-dotted bottom. Thrush is no fun, especially for baby. We normally have used anti-fungal creams (Nystatin) in the past, but no more!
Melaleuca and lavender oils (1-2 drops), mixed with a carrier oil (4-5 drops), took care of my little guy's rash in three applications. I did one more application for good measure, but it was completely gone after the third. The lavender was soothing to his bum and has calming properties, overall. The melaleuca is a powerhouse of antifungal and cleansing and I couldn't be more pleased.
Welcome to my essential oils blog! The purpose of this blog is to document my family's experience with dōTERRA oils and to share them with others. We've been using these oils for over two years now and I am convinced they are superior to any other EOs I have used before. Over the past 10+ years, we've been intentional towards living a more holistic and wholistic lifestyle, through both diet and medicinal approaches. Relying less on Western thought and practice toward medicine and overall well-being.
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Indian Ayurvedic, Persians and widely throughout Europe. Historical uses include treatment of illness and injury, food preparation, beauty and hygeine practicies, religious ceremonies and aromatherapy. So, they can be used topically, internally and aromatically; often times most effective when all three methods are used simultaneously.
dōTERRA essential oils are beautifully pure and their potency and effectiveness is unmatched. They are certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) and are the only oils on the market that can be safely taken internally. I have seen remarkable results therapeutically, as well as medicinally and continue to learn more ways to integrate these oils into our lives. I hope this blog is helpful to you and provides inspiration to explore natural medicines and to live better.

Brushing My Teeth
OnGuard essential oil is now my favorite oil; let me tell you why...
* I've been using it to brush my teeth (2 drops with baking soda and enough water to form a paste) and it has made a huge difference in my dental health. I am one of those people who has bad dental ju-ju. I can brush and floss until the cows come home and I still have cavities, toothaches and sensitivity. I brush with this homemade paste and then I floss and then I follow-up with my regular hippy toothpaste and my teeth are noticeably cleaner, whiter and my gums are looking much healthier, too. *BIG smile* I'm hoping it just gets better and I don't have to visit the dentist ever again (unless it's my brother, then I'd go)!
We also love OnGuard for cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing our hands, diffusing into the air, ingesting for sore throats and coughs and inhaling to help cleanse internally.
But, really...I'm most excited about brushing my teeth with it. :)
