My sister-in-law gets strep throat every year with her children.  This year her children got it and she could feel a sore throat coming on herself.  My brother had her gargle  a  lemon and oregano essential oil mixture with water.  This is the only time she has ever not gotten strep throat with her children!  Here is how the treatment works, At the first sign of a sore throat ingest a drop of Lemon Essential Oil in water and gargle with 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil and 1 drop of Oregano Essential Oil mixed in 1/4 cup of water.  Do not swallow the Lemon/Oregano mixture.  Repeat the gargle every hour until soreness subsides.  A drop of Lemon Essential Oil mixed with a teaspoon of honey can also help fight sore throats.   What a great tool for mothers to use to fight sore throats just as they are starting!

I really want to get the word out on how great doTerra products are for moms and their families.   The thing I know about doTerra  products is that you have to experience them.  I was very sceptical until I started to use them for myself and my family.  Everyday, I am learning more and I have quickly become a believer!   So, every month I am going to give out free doTerra Products to my email newsletter subscribers.   This month I will be giving away 5 doTerra Introductory Kits.  These kits include doTerra’s 3 most popular essential oils, Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint.  These oils come in a box that includes  5 ml bottles of these essential oils as well as an introduction to essential oils audio cd and booklet.  This is a great way to be introduced to doTerra’s products.  If you have tried essential oils from other companies test them against the doTerra oils.  If you have never used essential oils before why not start with the best!  Give yourself a chance to see the doTerra difference.   All you have to do to be eligible to win one of these great doTerra introductory kits is sign up for my newsletter through the link on the left of this page!  There is no commitment,  I will not give your information to anyone else and you can unsubscribe at anytime.

I had to laugh when my two year old Joel saw me looking through my box of essential oils.  He immediately said “My Peet”, climbed on my bed and stuck his little feet out for me.  Yes, “Peet” would be feet in the language of Joel!  The funny thing is that I haven’t even used the oils on Joel very much yet but he remembered when I had and seemed to like it.  In fact, all of my kids think that it is a treat to have me rub the oils on their feet whether it is Lavender to help them sleep better, Onguard to help protect them from illness or something else.  My sister-in-law has had the same experience with her children.  Her one year old will lay down and put up her feet when she sees the oils.  I thought it was funny until I really stopped to smell the Eucalyptus Essential Oil.   I was instantly reminded of how my mom would rub Vicks Vapor Rub on my chest and then cover it with a warm cloth when I had a cold as a child.  I remember how much better I felt when she did that and just as important I felt so loved and cared for.  I have to say that because of this I have always loved the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub and I love the smell of the Eucalyptus Essential Oil.  Interestingly enough, I have never done anything like that for my kids.  If they have a cold I have just given them some kind of cold medicine and said to go to bed.  Recently, doctors are saying not to give young children cold medicine so sometimes I have just said sorry you don’t feel well and put them to bed!   I’m so grateful to have some new tools at my disposal now that I am learning more about essential oils.  For my older children, I will use the Eucalyptus Oil diluted with the carrier oil Fractionated Coconut Oil and spread it on their chest and cover it with a warm cloth just as my mom used to do with Vick for me.  For my Younger Children and Babies I can put the Eucalyptus Oil in the diffuser or put a few drops in a warm bath.  I hope I will learn more ways to bring comfort and be more nurturing to my children as I learn more about the doTerra Essential Oils.

I had never thought much about Essential Oils and I am definitely not into multi-level marketing. My brother recently became involved in doTerra and has begun using the different oils for his family and handing them to us for different situations. I have never really been into holistic medicines and I tend to just go to the doctor or use over the counter medicines for whatever ails my family. But, my 5 year old fell off a bar stool and had a goose egg on his forehead that stood out about an inch and a half. We had a family gathering that evening and my brother put the doTerra Lavender Oil on the bruise. I was amazed the next day to see that the bump was very light colored and not raised at all. I had no idea that an oil could make such a difference. I have since seen essential oils used in many different situations with amazing results. I am now in the process of learning more about these essential oils and trying to find more uses for them. If you are interested in essential oils and would like learn more about them please join me on my journey to find as many practical uses for these oils as possible. This website is not intended to take the place of advice from a doctor or physician.  If you are a mom looking for a home based business opportunity and would love to try essential oils as well now is a great time to get your foot in the door.  DoTerra is a young fast growing company and I am excited to help you be successful. If you are just interested in using the doTerra essential oils and other products for yourself and your family I can help you do that as well.
