Essentials

Essential oils have been around forever and they are “trending” right now as it should be! But they are obviously not going anywhere soon and are not just what is hot right now, I mean they are even mentioned in the bible! So I started using essential oils a number of years ago along with some other natural things for my anxiety and overall mood. They quickly replaced the many candles and fragrant oils in the house and I began learning all of the medicinal healing benefits essential oils have. I recently switched from Eden’s Garden to doTERRA, which I think are both great companies. However, doTERRA, in my opinion, is the best. I know people that sell or use other oils and that’s ok. I’m not here to debate oil companies. This is just my preference, but I can encourage you to research doTerra and I think you will agree. From the many jobs they provide, non-profits, to create their own standard, its pretty amazing.

They have a nice expansive product line to replace all of the harsh toxic chemicals in your house. I have sensitive skin and the more gentle and natural the product, the better. When you think about the toxics that you use in your everyday life and how damaging they are to your health, really it‘s crazy! I know you could benefit from safer products too, even if they don’t seem to be bothering you now, why take the risk? These harmful chemicals are in everything, seriously most personal care items and cleaning products. Just check the ingredient label on some of the products in your house, then google them. Do any of them include sulfate, aluminum, parabens, or maybe the worse “fragrance”? Yeah, that’s a cover-up for toxic chemicals. In fact, it could be hundreds of chemicals for that one “fragrance” ingredient. It is hard to believe that products are allowed to be made and sold to consumers that are harming us without even knowing what those ingredients are. I already knew a lot of this but was told by a friend to watch the documentary, Stink, it is on Netflix and I recommend everyone to watch it!

Now before all this, I admit I loved “fragrance” items. I had a nice stash of candles, perfume/body sprays, lotions, scented oils, and the wax melts and I enjoyed having my home and myself smell nice. I used fragrant laundry soap and even scent boosters so our clothes would smell extra good. Honestly, you and your house can smell just as good if not better in my opinion with essential oils and healthier products. DōTERRA offers a variety of products for everything, just another reason why I have grown to love them. This is an oil company that provides oils, personal care, cleaning products, supplements, and plenty of education. We diffuse oils aromatically, use the roller bottles topically, and take them internally every day. I would love to help you discover a healthier lifestyle with essential oils and want to invite you to be a part of my team (check out the link below).
