we are spOILed with essential OILS: DoTerra

     Essential oils have really made there way through our town like wildfire and Summer and I just couldn't resist. At first I was a little angry at myself because I jumped in head first and didn't really know how to use them that well. I was just so excited I could use a natural product to take care of me and Mako before reaching for the Advil for me and Xanax for Mako. I've used them every day for four months now and have seen amazing results. Since having DoTerra Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade(CPTG) in my home, I have not had one migraine! I used to suffer with migraines every month and it would easily ruin my day.
     Each of the sisters have favorites and it should be no surprise that Shawna included hers in her beauty routine. Shawna created an awesome facial day cream using lavender oil and fractionated coconut oil. She also includes a drop of lavender oil in her mascara for healthy lashes. Summer loves Soothing Blend after a long day of teaching and yoga. She also diffuses lavender at night so she and Breeze get restful sleep. Sunny has been using the Digestive Blend, Detoxification Blend, GX Assist and PB Assist+ to get her system in check. Jonnie is mooching off all of us(of course being the baby of the family). Yesterday she had a tickle in her throat and didn't have her normal energy so what did this crazy oil lady do? I made her a "cold bomb"! Lemon, Frankincense, Protective Blend, Oregano and Peppermint oil all in a Veggie Cap and drove it to her work. I made her put some Joyful Blend on her wrists. She text me ten minutes later that she was already feeling better!
     My favorite patient/victim is my dog, Mako. He suffers from anxiety in a major way. When I see him getting himself wound up I put a drop or two of lavender or Soothing Blend with Coconut Oil on his paws or tummy and it not only settles him down but it knocks him out! Haha! My bull terrier also has always had really rough skin on his elbows. I tried Frankincense on those elbows maybe three times and they have never looked better! When I notice his tummy seems upset, I'll rub a drop or two of Digestive Blend on his tummy to help him feel better.
     We are also big fans of the Vitamin Pack. I no longer have my mid-day slump which is SO awesome. I honestly had no idea that it could make such a difference in my day.
     Before any of the American sisters had a chance to use DoTerra, Autumn already had her first order in New Zealand. She loves to rub lavender on the bottom of the girls' feet before bed time. With four little girls there is always at least one of them with a cold so she puts Respiratory Blend on their chests and behind their ears. She then diffuses that at night so they breathe easily. Autumn puts a couple drops of Lemon and Melalueca(Tea Tree) oil in a water bottle to disinfect her kitchen countertops. There are just SO many ways to use these oils.
     Summer, Autumn, and I would love to help you make sense of essential oils too! Visit us at http://mydoterra.com/summergurell, http://mydoterra.com/marleaugurell,
