The New Me

At the beginning of the year, in the salon I work at, I started hearing a lot about doTERRA essential oils. I've always been attracted to natural ways of healing so when my friends at work invited me to a class, I was interested immediately! I went to my first class and learned about and purchased my "Family Physician Kit." This little kit has COMPLETELY replaced my medicine cabinet and changed my life.

Like I said earlier, I've always been interested in natural medicine but the whole natural medicine world seemed overwhelming to me of where to start and which route is safe, yada yada. doTERRA has made it so easy for me with all the education they have provided and my new favorite book "Modern Essentials" which breaks down ailments and which oils to use and how to use them.

I had never been much of a medicine taker. But I knew at least once a month I had to have my routine Midol (sorry boys who are reading this), and my cramps are covered by Deep Blue and my moods with Frankincense! Love it! Now instead of ignoring when I am sick or have a headache like I use to in avoiding medicine, I can go to my oils and feel relief!

I am also now a huge believer in preventative measures too. For example I will not go a day without lemon oil now that I know how great of a detoxifier it is! Also Slim and Sassy, the new metabolic blend is a wonderful detoxifier and appetite suppressant as well as a blood sugar stabilizer! Frankincense, oh you have to use it to know what I mean! I love frankincense! It is a wonderful mood stabilizer and it is also a preventative oil. It fights against cancer, tumors, seizures... It contains sesquiterpenes which are anti-aging so I include it in my skin care every day!

These oils mean so much to me! I feel so empowered that I am able to be intuitive and use something that is natural and healthy for my body FIRST before considering medications. As we are educated, we are empowered. I hope to educate my friends and family of the amazing benefits of these pure essential oils and how they have been a blessing to me!
