Other Testimonies:
I suffered from RLS (restless leg syndrome). I sat on the side of the bed, I put two drops of Frankincense on the sole of one foot, rubbed the soles of both feet together and climbed into bed. Surprise and relief ! I had a peaceful rest with no RLS at all. My sister visited from another country and I told her of my success. She also suffers from RLS, and experienced the same result as I.
A great relief to both of us.

This a was amazing. My throat was on fire and my glans were swollen. I put 2 drops of Frankincense on my throat. With in 3 minutes the pain was gone. I reapplied it a few more times and within 1 days I had no issues with my throat. I do now put one drop under mt thong every morning.
-Pamela Griffith
I love Frankincense oil and have been using it, along with Helichrysum to help treat my lower back injury (I have three herniated discs that are getting better with lots of good alternative treatment!), sooth my nerves and uplift my spirit. I also add a little Frankincense EO and Rose Hip Seed oil to my face to soften and calm redness. I love it and even just added a feature on it to my personal prose blog The Most Beautiful Thing at http://www.mostbeautifulthing.com.
I’d like to end by saying that I’ve used Frankincense oil from other companies and think that doTERRA’s is the best quality, best fragrance, hands down!
Thanks and blessings,

Antibiotics VS Essential Oils
Antibiotics VS Essential Oils
Basic Facts
Antibiotics kill not only the bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria (stomach flora) in your gut. That “good bacteria” is crucial for your immune system to function properly.
Cells in our bodies are surrounded by an oily membrane.
Bacteria are found on the outside of these cell walls and Viruses are on the inside of the cells.
Regular antibiotics cannot penetrate the cell wall and so they only work on bacterial infections NOT on viruses.
Essential Oils CAN penetrate the cell wall and are therefore effective against bacteria AND viruses.
I have what I refer to as my “Natural Antibiotic” that I use for almost every illness coming on. It is 4 drops each of Oregano, OnGuard, & Lemon in an empty gel capsule, 1-3x daily for 5 days. It has never failed me!
“Isn’t it nice that for thousands of years, nature has already provided us with a way to fight off viruses?”
Did you know that you cannot develop a resistance to essential oils? The bacteria CANNOT outsmart nature’s medicine cabinet. Think about that for a minute!
Are you prepared for… The Last Days of Antibiotics?
The Last Days of Antibiotics
By Steve Mitchell for MSN Health & Fitness
Medically Reviewed By: Pat F. Bass III, M.D., M.S., M.P.H.
“The growing problem of bacteria strains that are resistant to all but a handful of antibiotics, combined with a decline in development of new drugs to thwart the bugs, is creating the conditions for a perfect storm that could leave us vulnerable and unprotected from deadly germs.”
New antibiotics could help counter the development of resistance and keep us one step ahead of the bugs, but pharmaceutical companies have cut research in this area, leaving doctors without new weapons to fight off the germs.
“Larger pharmaceutical companies have been using less and less resources to develop new antibiotics because economically it doesn’t make as much sense to develop these as it does to develop other more profitable drugs, such as cholesterol-lowering medications,” Peters says.
Antibiotics are generally used for a week or two, but drugs for high cholesterol and other chronic conditions may be used for a lifetime, which ultimately means a larger revenue stream for drug companies.
According to IDSA, the number of new antibiotics hitting the market has dropped dramatically since the 1980s to less than four in the last five years, while the rates of people infected with antibiotic-resistant bugs has increased significantly.

Natural Wart Removal…
Wart Removal
|
Essential oils differ in their effectiveness person to person and depending on the type of HPV (wart). Some experimentation may be necessary. Essential oils can show effectiveness against warts in just a few days or it may take weeks of consistent application.
Place single drops of essential oils directly on a wart at least twice daily. For some oils or area’s of application (genital, underarm, or other sensitive’s) consider using a carrier to dilute it such as coconut or olive oil if necessary.
Effective oils
Oregano
Frankincense
Lemon
On Guard
Continue application till the tumor is not visible, plus 7-14 days.
Note: Besides the visible warts that is seen above the skin, warts can sometimes have a large mass of tumor unseen beneath the skin. Essential oils will work from the inside first, so you may not see improvement for a while, or it can appear as though the wart is growing for a short while.
You can consider other essenitial oils that are anti-viral.
Basil, Melaleuca, Thyme
Testimonials:
My sister had warts all through high school when we lived in Massachusetts. When she left and moved to Arizona, the warts went away. After being away for 40 years, she met and married her high school sweetheart and moved back to Massachusetts this year. Within three weeks, the warts were back! By June, she’d already had them burned off a couple of times, but they came back within weeks. At my suggestion, she put a drop of frankincense on each wart and within two days, they began to dry up and disappear. It was really amazing to see it work!
-Sunny-
I read that lemon was good for warts, and my son had a couple of little ones on his hands, so we put it on only a couple of times, and they are gone!
-Ashlie -
My oldest had a very large plantar wart on his foot. (My Friend Gina) gave me a little sample bottle of OnGuard and told me to put a drop on the wart, morning and night.
I put a drop on his wart as soon as I got home and then again in the morning. He started to complain that it was itching. So I put a little olive oil on the skin surrounding the wart and we headed to the doctor’s appointment. We were told that it was so big that burning it off would be painful, very very painful. My son said, I think I can handle the itching that the oil is giving me more than burning. The doctor gave us a pad that was intended to dry out the wart and said it should take the wart away in 6 weeks and if it hadn’t come back and we’d go the burning route.
I continued to use the OnGuard, twice a day, every day. Two weeks after the first application the wart fell off, leaving healthy skin and one very happy boy. He told me on several occasions that the slightly itchy feeling was way better than burning it off. And I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to call the doctor so soon after the appointment and let him know that the wart was gone. Thrilling!

DRIVING & ESSENTIAL OILS
DRIVING & ESSENTIAL OILS
The following is an excerpt from an article entitled Tales of the Road from Forbes.com
“Alfred Hitchcock once said that conversation is the enemy of good wine and food. I wonder what he’d say about conversations on the weather. Or in our days, about conversations on traffic. In much of the world that has been snared by its clutches, traffic has become the new weather that occupies our bored banter. Traffic is the cherry on top of the double digit growths.
Beyond the nuisance, is there anything wrong with a little traffic? Turns out that traffic can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and stress. A study that examined heart attack survivors found that being stuck in traffic was an independent risk factor and that the patients had more than double the risk for a heart attack when they were in traffic right before their event. Is it the stress of traffic, that precipitated the heart attacks? Probably, but there is little we can do from the comfort of our cars to combat traffic. What we can combat is our stress.
The Sweet Smell of …
New research shows that the smell of cinnamon or peppermint may curb driver fatigue, increase alertness, and ease frustration behind the wheel. Chew on some cloves, or use air fresheners or auto diffusers with fragrances of these essential oils to keep you calm.”
Many of us have used dōTERRA essential oils in our home and in the work place for these very reasons, however, if you’re like me you probably spend a fair amount of time in your car. Below are just a few ways you can enjoy your favorite stress relieving scents while driving:
GEL AIR FRESHENER:
Supplies:
2 Cups of Distilled Water
2 Tablespoons of Salt
Food Coloring
Glass or Plastic Jars/Lids/Containers
4 Plain Packages of Gelatin
dōTERRA Essential Oil
Plastic Wrap
Ribbon
Instructions:
Heat to a boil one cup of distilled water and two tablespoons of salt in a saucepan adding as much or as little food coloring as you’d like to obtain the desired coloring. A clear gel air freshener will result if no food coloring is added.
Mix the packages of plain gelatin into the remaining cold cup of distilled water.
Upon boiling, remove the distilled/salt mixture from the heat and add the gelatin/water mixture. Stir until the gelatin crystals are dissolved.
Add the essential oil of choice to the air freshener container (10 drops works well). Add the gelatin mixture to the jars – it will look cloudy but will clear upon cooling.
Allow the containers to set at room temperature overnight. If you need to cool the mixture faster, place in the refrigerator for a few hours but be aware that the scent will permeate the refrigerator.
Cover the containers with plastic wrap and a coordinating ribbon. Feel free to be creative!
To release the scent simply remove the plastic wrap.
HANGING AIR FRESHENER:
Supplies:
Fabric (new or from clothing you no longer wear)
Cardboard (or very stiff paper)
Glue
Hole Punch
String
dōTERRA Essential Oils
Instructions:
Cut the material and cardboard into the same desired shape. You can often find patterns online but be creative, any shape will do!
Take the two pieces of material and place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on each.
Glue the material to the cardboard on both sides, if you sew stitching the two pieces together also works.
Whole punch the completed design and tie the string through the hole, place on the rear-view mirror in your car.
If the scent fades simply apply a few more drops of essential oil!

Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
OREGANO (Not just for cooking!)
Historically, Greek physicians used oregano essential oils for wounds, headaches, and venomous bites and even hemlock poisoning. It wasn’t long before its medicinal benefits were used to treat lung conditions, bronchitis, sinusitis, and cold symptoms including cough. The benefits of using oregano essential oil have captured the interest of modern-day researchers. Today, oregano essential oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiseptic properties. For external use, oregano essential oil is valued as a strong analgesic and antirheumatic agent.
Uses:
As a general guideline, oil of oregano can be diluted 50% or more with a carrier oil (such as fractionated coconut oil)and applied directly to the affected area. It is a hot oil so dilution is recommended to prevent irritation. It can also be used more specifically, as in the following examples:
- Rub the diluted oil into the gums 1-2 times per day for infections.
- Apply oregano essential oil to warts, boils, or even fungal infections such as athlete’s foot. Saturate the area, bind with a clean bandage. allow the oil to sit overnight and then change the dressing. Continue until the infection is gone.
- Add several drops of oregano oil to liquid hand soap or body wash to expedite healing of wounds, abscesses, or skin infections.
- Apply diluted oregano essential oil into areas of diaper rash at each diaper change until the rash is gone. Make sure to use only a 1-2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil to avoid irritation.
- Rub a drop of the oil underneath each nostril daily to relieve sinus problems. Inhale deeply each time to allow the vapors to travel through your sinuses.
- Oregano oil can also be used as an antiseptic for use in cleaning supplies. Try adding several drops of the diluted oil to a clean cotton cloth and wiping down kitchen surfaces to kill any harmful bacteria.
- Diffuse overnight to help reduce congestion or sinus problems.
- Gargle Diluted with water for sore throats.
- Can be used internally as a natural anti-biotic
There are several studies showing that Oregano my be effective in fighting bacteria:
