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.

Baby Bottoms

Here are some great, all natural, essential oil recipes for baby. I thought these were all blog worthy:


 ~ Diaper Rash Cream~  (petroleum-free)

 1/2 oz beeswax
3 1/2 oz carrier oil (coconut is my favorite in this, preferably fractionated)
2 drops each of melaleuca and lavender oil
4 oz glass jar (empty baby food jar!)

 -Place beeswax in glass jar and place in the top part of a double boiler. Melt it over simmering water, stirring until smooth. 
-Slowly add the carrier oil.
-Remove from heat and add essential oils, stir and cool. 

*If too firm after cooling, re-melt and add more carrier oil. 
~Talc-Free Baby Powder~

 1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup Arrowroot powder
1 drop Roman chamomile
1-2 drops lavender
1/4 cup finely ground oats

 -Mix well and put in a shaker style bottle.
~Homemade Wipes~

 1 roll of premium paper towels
2 cups warm water
2 Tbsp carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, preferably)
3 drops lavender
3 drops melaleuca
Airtight storage container

 -Cut paper towel roll in half. Use half now and half later. 
-Put towels in storage container and add oil and water mixture. Turn the container until the liquid is absorbed. Remove cardboard roll and pull wipes out from the center.
