My essential oil journey

This is my collection. So small. But each one I picked to use for my family. I started with the Home Essentials Kit. The promotion at that time was a free Deep Blue Rub and Oil. The day my kit arrived I was excited, and nervous. Since that moment I have spent a lot of early morning hours searching Pinterest for blends. My diffuser is my go to for stressful days, kids not able to sleep, allergies and to keep germs away.

My goal is to one day build this as an extra income that is steady. I am by no means close to that. I am in still in the beginning stages of sharing and learning. Through fellow doTerra users I have made some pretty cool friends. I have Facebook pages to surf and ask question after question. Right now I am sharing and encouraging people to try.

Sometimes the sample will be the right one for that person, and other times it takes a little tweaking to find just the right blend. What works for me or for my kids may not work exactly the same for someone else. If ever you try these oils and they do not work, be patient. There is one, there is a blend that will work.

I love how these oils can be used for multiple things. Some can be added to recipes, some can be cleaning agents, some can be for ailments. It is so nice to know that a bottle with 250 drops in it can last for a long time. It can be used multiple ways.

So far my favorites are Breathe, which I use mostly for my daughter. She was born with narrow nasal passages and has always gotten congestion easily. Using this in a coconut oil rub has gotten her to sleep better, and most importantly to breathe better. I even have a roller bottle blend for the congestion. On Guard is great for germ repellent. You can use it to clean with to diffuse in a roller bottle blend. Today my daughter accidentally peed a huge puddle in my bathroom. I put a couple of drops on a sponge and scrubbed the floor once I wiped away all the pee. Serenity and Balance are my go to oils to help me not get over excited and nervous. Clary Calm for hormones. Lemon and Lime in my water. I could go on and on here, but I am saving that for my next project.

Always use essential oils with caution. I recommend the Modern Essentials Book for Oil usage. The oils can assist with or aid with. They are not necessarily a cure. I use some for pain and they work great. Peppermint is a go to for headaches. It smells so fresh.

I like to use the product guide and the book.

My project is to write several blogs about different oils and multiple uses for that oil. My goal is to share the knowledge. To encourage others to try. I was once a skeptic. My husband is slowly coming off the fence. He says that the kids and I smell weird, but it makes me smile. Weird is good in this case.

my labels, spray bottles, and roller balls. Make sure your oils for sprays are in a glass bottle and lotions go in a glass jar

For tools you can check out www.aromatools.com or www.youroiltools.com I have ordered supplies from both places. There are many other useful sites too. This journey must be your own. I can show you the path but you must walk down it and plant trees and flowers along the way.

Some of the supplies needed for blends can be found at Walmart or a wholefoods store.
