If you are using it for prevention, try adding some doTERRA Eucalyptus Essential Oil. It can not only soothe the dry skin, but kills the threats that may be at the root cause.

Detoxing the liver is a big plus with doTERRA Essential Oils. But remember, you only need a drop or two when you use essential oils. Keep these key points in mind when thinking about how the liver processes essential oils.

• Liver breaks down every essential oil utilized
• The larger the quantity the more the liver has to deal with. Less oils more frequently is always better
• Times it takes to break down? Varied opinions from 30-120 minutes.
• Excessive use at one given time can reduce the effects of that oil.

Less is More!

So true!

There are so many foods in today's world that are not good for our bodies, and our bodies let us know. Our food has been so modified, it's not what nature had in mind for our nutrition.

And processed foods, too. We need to eat as many organic, natural, unprocessed, non-modified foods as possible. Gluten/Wheat, Dairy, and Sugar and big culprits. If you are having digestive issues, you really need to begin a path to better eating.

Check out this great article that talks about how essential oils can help us on our journey to great eating habits.

This isn't just for all you "science" people interested in the science behind essential oils, but it's a great tool when looking for a specific oil to help with a specific issue. Check it out.

Sleep is so important. Our bodies need that down time to regenerate and repair.

Many people use Lavender to help support restful sleep, but I use doTERRA's Serenity Calming Blend. I also alternate with doTERRA's Peace Blend sometimes, too. They both work wonders for me.

Check out this article about how important a good nights sleep is, and how you can get back to sleep if you wake during the night.

I am so excited about doTERRA's new Yoga Collection. I used Arise during my yoga practice a few days ago and couldn't believe how much more energized I was. I seemed to be able to hold my poses much better, and the time just flew by. I just wanted to keep going.

All 3 of these oils are perfect for any Yogie. But, you don’t have to be an expert in yoga to enjoy the beautiful benefits of the new doTERRA Yoga Collection. Created with the help of Elena Brower, (doTERRA Blue Diamond, author of Art of Attention, and creator of Teach.yoga), the collection consists of three 5 mL blends called Arise, Anchor, and Align. With these blends, the beginner as well as the seasoned yogi will enjoy using each distinct blend in their practice. Each blend is carefully designed with a unique combination of essential oils to provide different scents and benefits.

​I LOVE the smell of Grapefruit Essential Oil. Besides all the benefits, I just enjoy diffusing it because I love the smell. Be careful when using it in the sun, though. 

I put this in water (alternately with Lemon oil) to help me get my daily water intake. You could even add a drop of Stevia to sweeten it up.
