10 Basic Oils Every Home Needs

You might be asking yourself  “Why do I even need essential oils when I can just go to the Doctor?”  The reason is: Essential Oils are a safer, more natural approach to medicine with no side affects.  Eighty percent of the time your illness is a viral infection and there is no “over the counter” medicine to combat a virus, however,  Essential Oils have several studies showing there ability to kill a viral infection.

Every home needs ten basic essential oils. These oils are found in the Family Physician Kit and are available at a retail price of $166.00.  You can also set up your whole sale account for $150 (It’s like having a Costco Card for doTerra) and it comes with this full kit (along with Slim & Sassy ‘Metabolic’ blend)

I use the Family Physician Kit for most of my medicinal needs.  It has completely replaced my medicine cabinet.  Here are a few ways that I have had success in using the oils in this kit:

1. Lavender - It is the most versatile and popular oil. It is great for burns and takes aways pain and blistering fast! It works very well as a sleep aid and it has a very calming effect. It also works as a natural antihistamine and provides relief from insect bites. Rub on your feet each night for relaxation, or headache relief.

2.  Lemon - Use a drop of lemon every day in your water to keep your body acid free (alkaline). Lemon helps clean your lymphatic system.  It is excellent for sore throats– just place a drop on your tongue or gargle with lemon water. You can also use it as a cleaning agent. Lemon oil will clean ninety-nine percent of bacteria.

3.  Peppermint - It has been double-blind studied against Tylenol and was proven to be just as effective in treating headaches.  Peppermint Oil was reported by the Mayo Clinic as being one of the most promising treatments for I.B.S.  It is fantastic for digestive issues and when inhaled it will stimulate the brain to increase alertness.

4.  Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil) – This is fantastic for acne since most acne medications are antibacterial creams, melaleuca is antibacterial.  It is also great for most skin conditions: general rashes, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, and MRSA.  You can rub it on your head to control dandruff and on your chest for coughs.

5.  Deep Blue  -  It reduces inflammations and relieves sore muscles and back aches.  Use this oil on all sport related injuries and will also relieve headaches.

6. Oregano - It is your heaviest fighter oil with several studies proving its ability to kill MRSA (staph infection). It is one of the most important oils to use when fighting any infection. It is a very hot oil and must be diluted with any carrier oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Almond Oil etc) to apply topically.

7. On Guard - This oil helps to strengthen your immune system.  This is great for disinfecting the home via a diffuser or even mix with water to use as a cleaner to wipe down counters.  Rub this on your feet every night for cold prevention and can rub on teeth to help reduce plaque & gum infections.

8.  Breathe - Use this oil from respiratory infections,coughs, or asthma symptoms.  Rub it on your chest to help combat congestion.  Rub on chest and under your nostrils to help with snoring.  Unlike other Vapor Rubs, Breathe will actually assist your body in fighting off the infection.

9.  DigestZen - this blend will work for any digestive disorder: Acid Reflux, heartburn, H.Pylori Bacteria, diarrhea, Constipation, IBS, etc. Rub four drops of DigestZen on your stomach for all the above.  Seventy percent of your immune function is through your GI so if you have a compromised GI you have a compromised immune system. Using DigestZen will help strengthen immune system.

10. Frankincense - this oil contains sesquiterpenes, enabling it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier.  It may help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands.  Many people belief it helps with anxiety and depression.  Several studies have been done on Frankincense and its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!   doTERRA Essential Oils work perfectly with the body to support normal functions of the body and dōTERRA products are safe to use on all ages.

All Natural Cystic Fibrosis Treatment

DoTerra Essential Oil Treatment For:

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic defect that occurs when both parents carry the defective gene.  Statistically 1:3000 births of white parents will result in this problem.

The defective gene causes the normal mucus fluid in the respiratory tract to be unusually thick and sticky.  This in turn affects both the respiratory system and the digestive system.  The heavy mucus clogs the airways to the lungs and also affects the pancreas.  Further complications occur as the lungs become more susceptible to infections.  Because the pancreas is a vital organ in the digestive system the affect on this organ disrupts normal digestive functions.

Symptoms may be seen at birth and include:no bowel movements in first days, failure to gain weight normally.

Later symptoms to the digestive system include: severe constipation, gas, bloating, foul and light colored stools.

Symptoms in the respiratory system may include: congestion, increased mucus, coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Testimonies:

The husband of a friend of mine has cystic fibrosis, and is closely monitored by his doctors. In November, my friend bought a diffuser and some oils. Right around that time, they both got H1N1, and were very ill. The H1N1 turned into pneumonia for my friend (thankfully, not for her husband though.) They diffused lots of lemon throughout this time, as well as geranium.

On an outing this evening, my friend announced to everyone that if it wasn’t for the doTerra oils and her diffuser, she is sure that she would have ended up in the hospital. Then she told me that her husband went for an MRI last week, to track his cystic fibrosis, and his doctors were very excited to see that his lungs are in comparable condition to what they were 10 years ago. Apparently a big improvement from the last MRI. Most significantly, the lower portion of his lungs were in excellent condition (it is not good if there is a lot of congestion very deep in the lungs, for a cystic fibrosis patient). I was thrilled to hear this, and just want to share about what a great oil geranium is! I have also used it with another person for shingles with excellent results.

Most people with COPD have a combination of both conditions.

Smoking is the leading cause of COPD.  In rare cases, nonsmokers who lack a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin can develop emphysema.

Other risk factors for COPD are:

• Exposure to certain gases or fumes in the workplace

All Natural Asthma Support

DoTerra Essential Oil Support For:

Asthma

Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways, which causes attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swells. This reduces the amount of air that can pass by.

In sensitive people, asthma symptoms can be triggered by breathing in allergy-causing substances (called allergens or triggers).

Common asthma triggers include: Pet hair, dust, changes in weather, mold, chemicals in air or food, pollen, respiratory infections (cold/flu), stress or smoke.

Most people with asthma have attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some people have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Either wheezing or a cough may be the main symptom.

Asthma attacks can last for minutes to days, and can become dangerous if the airflow is severely restricted.

Those with Asthma have noticed:

• Cough with or without sputum (phlegm) production
• Pulling in of the skin between the ribs when breathing
• Shortness of breath that gets worse with exercise or activity
• Wheezing, which:
  • Comes in episodes with symptom-free periods in between
  • May be worse at night or in early morning
  • May go away on its own
  • Gets better when using drugs that open the airways (bronchodilators)
  • Gets worse when breathing in cold air
  • Gets worse with exercise
  • Gets worse with heartburn (reflux)
  • Usually begins suddenly

First, recognize what triggers attacks for you and avoid them. The following treatment has been found to be very beneficial to those who have attacks regularly (especially where asthma is interrupting their life)  or those who simply want a natural approach that works.

I suffered from RLS (restless leg syndrome).

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.

-Margaret Lockett

 

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.

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,
-Heather Philipp

 

 

A Boy’s Story About dōTERRA’s “Breathe”

David, like other 7 year old boys, loves to play outdoors and be active. But until two months ago, his activity was greatly restricted due to his asthma. Medications were a constant part of his routine, until his mom was introduced to dōTERRA essential oils. Here is David’s story, as told by his mother Bekah:

“We have only been using the oils for a little over 2 months, but they have had a significant impact on our family. Betsy Holmes introduced me to dōTERRA’s essential oils at the end of February–she was here visiting and David was in the middle of an allergic asthma attack. Instead of giving him his scheduled albuterol treatment, we opted to try the Breathe oil. Within minutes he stopped coughing and has whole-heartedly requested the oils instead of his treatments ever since then.

He actually went 2 entire months without an inhaler or steroids. Recently his school nurse administered his inhaler without calling me first and it actually brought on more symptoms instead of relieving them. So, David is hooked on the power of essential oils. We diffuse Breathe at night and apply it to his chest as needed. He is loving it! People around here know my David and how he’s struggled. His story is touching hearts and changing lives with dōTERRA – and he’s super stoked to be a part of it!

David, who is in second grade, was asked to do a social studies project on what he wants to be when he grows up. The project actually required that he answer some questions about his aspirations, and draw a picture of himself, which I totally wish I would have taken a picture of also! This letter was a follow-up to that project. He brought it to me last night.

Thank you, Bekah and David, for sharing your story with us!

Lemon (Citrus Limon)

Lemon

Another doTerra favorite, this essential oil powerhouse is cold-pressed from lemon rinds to preserve its delicate nature and potent properties. Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic, topical, and internal cleanser that can be used to complement many other oils. Diffusing lemon in a room can cleanse the air and uplift mood. It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaning booster. For aromatic, topical or dietary use.

Uses:

• Add a drop to a water bottle or to water served at a restaurant.
• Diffuse aromatically or apply topically for mood elevation.
• Add to a drop of honey to soothe a cough or sore throat.
• Dilute with coconut oil for a daily fingernail conditioning massage.
• Apply directly to cold sores for soothing relief.
• Add a drop of lemon and peppermint to your toothbrush after use.
• Diffuse in a room to neutralize odors.
• Remove gum, lavel adhesives, and greasy substances from fabric.
• Use to clean kitchen counter and stainless steel appliances.
• Add to live oil for a non-toxic furniture polish.
• Lemon oil is effective against infectious diseases such as fever, malaria and typhoid
• Can be used as a mouthwash. Add a couple drops to a 4 oz glass of water and gargle.
• Can be added to a spray bottle of water and sprayed into the air as a deodorizer, neutralizer, and air sterilizer
• Prepare a mixture of lemon oil and baking soda, and apply it to sinks and tubs, in bathroom and kitchen (kills bad smells & germs)

Important: Make sure you use only glass, ceramic or stainless steel. The potency of the essential oil will pull out petrochemicals from the plastic, and you don’t want to ingest those.

As well, it helps in the formation of white and red blood cells, leukocyte formation (immune system warrior cells), is helpful in treating anemia, asthma, colds, fever, gout, heartburn, intestinal parasites, rheumatism, sore throats and infections, ureter infections, varicose veins, anxiety; is blood pressure regulating, helps ease and clear up cold sores, dissolves cellulite (!), good for debility, digestive problems, energy enhancer; helps alleviate gallstones, is liver and lymphatic system cleansing; beneficial for nervous conditions, respiratory problems, muscular aches and pains, memory improvement… to name but a few of the mighty lemon’s attributes.

 

There are many clinical studies with supportive data regarding the successful treatment of anxiety, cancer, and the conditions noted above, mostly due to its high content of d-Limonene, a powerful natural terpenine that is helpful in inhibiting the accumulation of toxins, while also helping to discharge existing ones from the liver and kidneys. Taken with plenty of fresh water daily, a drop or two of doTERRA’s pure therapeutic-grade lemon oil each time you drink is a great way to keep your system flushed and hydrated!

 

As a culinary treat lemon oil can also be added to cake batters, frostings, chicken dishes, and anything else you can think of! It makes a wonderful addition to vanilla ice cream, souffles, and smoothies, too.

 

How has lemon oil helped you?
