Many people will ask, why are you promoting oils? What are the benefits of oils? How does each oil work? Even though some people may view oils as a new trend, history shows that ancient civilizations used plants for things such as aromatherapy, personal care, religious ceremonies, beauty treatments, and food preparation. Why would they not be of use today?
 
A variety of plants cover the Earth in different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents. Many of these plants contain compounds that typically can’t be seen with the naked eye—they hide within the roots, flowers, seeds, bark, or other areas of the plant. These compounds are known as essential oils. They are highly concentrated, making them extremely potent. Also referred to as volatile aromatic compounds, essential oils give a plant its aroma, protect it from harsh environmental conditions and insects, and even play a part in plant pollination.

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!

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.

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.
