Have you ever tried bathing with essential oils? You not only get oils introduced to your system topically, but you get some Aromatherapy at the same time. Check out these ways I've learned to utilize essential oils in your bathtub.

• Add 5 drops to a tablespoon of carrier oil, and then add to your bath water.
• Add 5 drops to a cup of whole milk and pour it into your bath. The oils will bond with the fats in the milk. When the milk disperses through the water and touches your skin, so do the essential oils. The milk creates a protective layer that prevents skin irritation. (Using milk is easier to clean up than using a carrier oil.)
• Blend 5 drops into 1 oz of natural bath salts. Just drop your essential oils right into the salts and stir. Using bath salts means you’re also filling your bath with skin-nourishing nutrients and minerals from the salt.

Use your favorite oil or try these doTERRA Essential Oils:

• Lavender
• Roman Chamomile
• Frankincense
• Vetiver
• Myrrh

Spice oils like Peppermint and Ginger are not recommended.
You should only use a drop or two of the rich floral oils like Ylang Ylang or Geranium

​Do you have respiratory distress due to seasonal threats? 
Are you tired of ingesting drugs, feeling tired, or just plain feeling miserable?
Well I've got great news that I just tested this weekend.

I have respiratory issues when I am around animals. I can be around them, but just can't pet them or hang with them for to long. This weekend, my daughter and son in-law needed someone to watch their dog. I typically can be around her for a few hours, but this was for the weekend. I was very anxious to try The Bomb.

It is simply 3 essential oils. Lemon, Peppermint, and Lavender. You can place 2 drops of each in a gel cap, or you can simply mix with a little water and swish in your mouth for 10-20 seconds. I love drinking the lemon and peppermint in hot water, so that was a piece of cake for me. The lavender I just placed on my throat. I was amazed how I got through the weekend with these 3 little oils. You can take them as often as needed and NO DRUGS enter your body. I am so happy I couldn't wait to tell you all about it.

These 3 little oils have over 101 uses. This is a must have for any new essential oil user.

​So many of today's health issues have the same root cause.... inflammation.

Whether it's hormone imbalances; digestive issues; discomfort, aches, or soreness; fatigue; unexplained weight gain or trouble losing weight; sleep issues; seasonal threats; maintaining an already healthy blood pressure or cholesterol issues; head or neck tension.

So many essential oils can address this issue. My favorite is Frankincense. I take a drop daily with my Digestzen and have noticed significant changes.

​Give it a try.

​White Fir tree is a popular wood for construction because of its combination of strength, versatility, and beauty. It is also a popular choice for Christmas trees.
