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.

Got a puker?


Try this:

DigestZen and Ginger together in a carrier oil and rub on stomach and back. Basil diluted in carrier oil and rubbed on the bottom of feet. Inhaling peppermint (a very small amount, on a cotton ball, also combats nausea).

DigestZen works wonderfully to calm an upset stomach. I have heard a couple people attest to this, lately. Ginger has long been used to help with nausea and throwing-up, as well as peppermint. Basil is helpful for gastric spasms, is useful for infections and is calming. Some use it diluted and massage it right onto the abdomen.
