Lavender has helped me in many ways, starting with helping me to sleep, healing bruising, and even minor burns from cooking!<\/p>\n<p>Later, I was gifted with doTERRA\u2019s On Guard protective blend product.\u00a0 This has many great uses, but really helped me tackle the ticks while living in a heavily wooded area.\u00a0 My Pups were getting them daily. Whenever I applied On Guard to their legs and pads of their feet, the ticks were no longer a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I took the plunge into purchasing the Family Physician\u00ae Kit.\u00a0\u00a0 This kit contained a collection of ten nurturing essential oils, including six single oils and four blends. The kit had: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Melaleuca, Oregano, Frankincense, Deep Blue\u00ae, Breathe, DigestZen\u00ae, and On Guard.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time I received the Family kit, I was presented with so many essential oil recipes to aid in my all over health that I became a true believer in the oils.<\/p>\n<p>I started washing my clothes in the On Guard Laundry detergent.\u00a0 Now I don\u2019t have that sweet flowery smell anymore.\u00a0 You know the one that surely means it clean.\u00a0 No, my clothes just smell clean. I no longer use fabric softener either. That is a blog for another time.<\/p>\n<p>My clothes will last longer without all the man-made chemicals, after all I put them through enough stress. Mind you, it was not easy to switch to Essential oils for laundry, I was very true to my name brand for almost as long as I have been married.<\/p>\n<p>After some calculations, it\u2019s not cheaper to use essential oils, and if you compare 60 loads to 60 loads, it does cost a little more.\u00a0 However, let\u2019s think about this for a minute. Chemicals are harsh on materials.\u00a0 So in the long run, my clothes, in theory should last longer. I truly believe they will.<\/p>\n<p>Essential oils can be pricey.\u00a0 I was recently told by someone they couldn\u2019t purchase doTerra from me, since they could purchase essential oils at the store, for way cheaper.\u00a0 Look, I agree, you can buy the oils from health stores, grocery stores, discount stores, even Amazon.\u00a0 Keep in mind, you don\u2019t know what you may be getting.\u00a0 Can you ensure these oils are 100% pure?<\/p>\n<p>I have seen that you can purchase doTERRA oils through Amazon.\u00a0 Let me tell you where those come from.\u00a0 Those same oils are from some people who sell doTERRA.\u00a0 These sellers are selling their earned product they get for free! (doTERRA frowns upon seller who sell through Amazon.) What did I just say? You can get free oils? Yes, that\u2019s another day\u2019s blog. \u00a0There may even be some sellers who are masking their product under the doTERRA name, but it\u2019s not really doTERRA.\u00a0 Buyer beware as they say.<\/p>\n<p>All I\u2019m saying here, is do your homework.\u00a0 Essential oils are fabulous.\u00a0 My next blog will share how you can diffuse oils everyday.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about doTERRA, give me a call.\u00a0 I will be happy to share the benefits I have found in doTERRA essential oils.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey folks, sorry it\u2019s been so long since my last blog.\u00a0 Time just got away from me.
