Tuesday Tip: Discover dōTERRA!

Over the years, like others with similar chronic health issues and few medical solutions, I have tried an abundance of pills, potions, and promising protocols on my journey towards the often mystifying highway of health. In any Lyme disease support group in the country you can find a multitude of conflicting protocols and opinions for this interesting condition that continues to be a political controversy of differing attitudes and ideas.

Yet, in spite of the confusion, there are generous, caring people who continuously enter my life, sharing their knowledge and giving enlightenment. For these adventurous souls I am grateful daily. They have enriched my life and taken part in showing me who I am.

The difficulty with the mass of symptoms that accompany Lyme disease is in finding solutions that the body will embrace. Solutions to the lack of nutrient giving vitamin and minerals that refuse to be absorbed. Solutions building the immune system into a powerful warrior willing to fight back.

Discover dōTERRA Essential Oils! Essential Oils . . . two little words I heard in passing so many years ago. But there was much to learn and miles to grow before I would come to really know and understand. I was searching for a magical potion, a miracle pill, impatient to continue the life I’d led. However, there are lessons to be learned, some for ourselves, and some for those who touch our lives. But when we become open to new ideas and possibilities, the knowledge comes pouring down faster than we can comprehend.

I’ve discovered “all are not equal” in the world of essential oils. All are not made with integrity. All are not 100% certified pure, therapeutic grade essential healing oils, able to absorb into the bloodstream within 50 seconds. Able to change the cells and gently help the body restore itself to it’s former healthy state without the devastating side affects so common in our pharmaceutical dependent world.

dōTERRA (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize dōTERRA's superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade essential oils.

So in recognition of “National Sleep Awareness Month” here’s my “Tuesday Tip!”

Use dōTERRA’s “Lavender” essential oil to increase the quality of your sleep! A few drops of Lavender in the palms of your hands and cupped over the nose can quickly and easily eliminate stress and anxiety. When the body reaches the deepest stages of sleep your immune system runs its renewal cycle. If you are not able to reach the deepest stages of sleep, your immune system will be weak.

Try These Simple Tips:
1. Add a few drops of Lavender essential oil to a spray bottle, mix with water, and spritz on your pillows and bed linen.

2. Massage a few drops of Lavender essential oil into the bottom of your feet before going to bed. 

3. Add a few drops of Lavender essential oil to your kids’ bath water to help them relax and unwind before going to bed.

4. Place a diffuser filled with 6-10 drops of Lavender essential oil in your bedroom and diffuse 30 minutes before retiring for the evening.


Note: Lavender can also be applied directly to cuts, abrasions, and burns for a disinfecting and healing action.


Stress is a major contributor to illness and disease. dōTERRA’s “Serenity” is also a calming blend designed to accentuate it’s soothing properties, creating a sense of well being and improved health through the natural reduction of stress and its related symptoms. For those who don't enjoy the floral scents of Lavender or Serenity, put 2 drops of Roman Chamomile, Bergamont, and Frankincense on the feet to relax and combat the effects of stress on the body.
