Welome To Kristen's Essential Oil Party! 


My name is Cynthia, and I met Kristen about 18 months ago, when I hired her to design my dream ensuite bathroom. We clicked right away, and when she saw all the dōTERRA products all over my house, she wanted to know more -- naturally! Kristen got herself set up with a set of oils and has been learning to use them to help herself and her family lead a more natural, healthy lifestyle. 

I have been using dōTERRA essential oils since 2009, when dōTERRA was just an itty-bitty company. I have learned a LOT about essential oils through personal experience and a lot of training courses. I'm here to help you learn all the ways you can use essential oils, the many things you can use them for, and how to get started for yourself. 

Since its beginnings in 2008, dōTERRA has grown enormously, for one big reason:

Essential oils are highly potent chemical compounds that are derived from plants. They are found in the roots, seeds, bark, flowers and more.

Essential oils provide all the basic functions the plant needs to survive, from assistance in pollination to protection from environmental threats. When essential oils are distilled and prepared for us to utilize, they go to work supporting our bodies just as they would the plant.

In fact, essential oils are how a plant protects itself from disease and even from predators... and how they attract protectors such as pollinators and gardeners! Think about this: humans have eaten plants for thousands of years, so our bodies know very well what to do with the molecules that plants provide. We are uniquely adapted to take advantage of plant power, whether that is their energy and nutrition, or their aromatic compounds that kill pathogens. 



dõTERRA® sources oils from all over the world where a specific plant thrives. Think soil, temperature, humidity, harvesting process, distillation process... all of it leads to the highest quality of essential oils in the market.

dōTERRA offers unmatched purity and potency... their 
rigorous quality testing means that we know every bottle is 100% pure essential oil, every single time. No pesticides, no adulterations, and no chemicals are ever allowed. There is absolutely no cheating at dōTERRA! 




dõTERRA® created the Co-Impact Sourcing® Initiative to ensure every oil sold is responsibly and sustainably sourced. It is a top priority of the company to protect the environment during the production process as well as providing fair treatment to all harvesters and growers.

dēTERRA® not only generates jobs but provides fair and on-time payments, as well as supports the communities in the areas where the oils are sourced. What is not to love about that?




Every day, we're exposed to dozens of synthetic chemicals. You might be thinking, But I try so hard to be healthy. Unfortunately, there is a large number of toxic chemicals lurking in the products that we use every day. 

Essential oils offer a simple solution to reducing your toxic load. I always say, do whatever you can every day to choose natural products and help reduce the toxic load on yourself and your family.

Being an essential oil user means making conscious choices to be low-tox, and your body will thank you for it in the long run. Now let's look at the practical aspect of essential oils: how do we use them?! 





There are 3 ways to use essential oils:

  • Aromatically (think in the air)
  • Topically (think on your skin)
  • Internally (think in your body)

Which way do you think will be easiest? Which way are you most comfortable starting out with? Which way will you end up using the most? 


Let's explore these three ways, along with some handy recipes and tips!


 

I'm sure you have smelled a rose, or enjoyed the aroma when zesting a lemon...

Those little aromatic notes are the essential oils playing with your olfactory system. Your olfactory receptors have a direct link to your limbic system, which is the part of your brain that stores emotions and memories.

To use essential oils aromatically, we put them into the air using diffusers, spray bottles, or just smelling them from the bottle. 



Whatever we put in the air you can be sure gets wafted around the house and gets into your lungs. That is why it is SO important to use toxin-free cleaners. Keep yourself, your kids and your pets safe with green cleaners.

A Diffuser remedy


When the air is full of pollen, do your eyes get itchy and watery, do you sniff or sneeze a lot?

If so, load up your diffuser to combat those pesky seasonal symptoms. Add water to the fill line, then add:

2 drops Lemon
2 drops Lavender
2 drops Peppermint

This combination will really help you feel more comfortable, I promise! 


One of the most effective ways to experience essential oils aromatically is by using an essential oil diffuser. Luckily for us, dõTERRA® offers a wide assortment of essential oil diffusers.

You can truly transform any space with an essential oil diffuser. Bedrooms, living rooms, and common areas in the home, kitchen, and even bathroom can be perfect places for diffusers.

I absolutely love curating a custom aroma for my home. 


Essential oils penetrate the skin quickly, making topical application great for localized benefits. If you have a blemish or a scrape, applying the oils at the site of the issue can be helpful.

Sore muscles? Use the oil in the area of discomfort.

Sore head? Use an oil like Peppermint or Rosemary around the hairline and on the back of the neck. 

Cut or burn? Apply Lavender or Correct-X (a super first-aid ointment from dōTERRA) directly to the area. 


SKIN SENSITIVITY

The biggest issue when using pure essential oils is that they are very concentrated. That's why when we use them on the skin, we recommend diluting them.  Diluting with what we call a "carrier oil" helps minimize skin sensitivity for all ages, as well as extend absorption into the skin.

Carrier oils are typically vegetable oils, but you can also use animal fats such as tallow, lard or even butter! 


I like to use Fractionated Coconut Oil because it has no scent, and it doesn't ever go rancid. However, there are other carrier oils we might choose, for different reasons.

ROLLER BOTTLE REMEDIES

One of the best and most economical ways to use your essential oils is to create roller bottle blends. Here are a few recipes to give you some inspiration. 


When you take an essential oil internally (and this is specific to doTERRA essential oils ONLY - I repeat doTERRA® oils only!), they enter the bloodstream via the gastrointestinal tract and are then transported throughout the rest of the body. All of the organs in the body including the brain will be reached.


The most common way to take essential oils internally is to add them to water, smoothies, tea, or other drinks. However you can also add a few drops to a veggie capsule and swallow them just like any other pill. This is a good choice for oils that you don't like the taste of, but you want the benefits they offer. 


You can also boost the flavour of recipes by using essential oils instead of dried herbs and spices. In this case, less is more! The flavour is very concentrated, so add flavour at the end of cooking, using a toothpick to start with and then add more to taste.  Oils from herbs like Oregano are extremely concentrated and can overpower a dish if you are not careful.


 

*First and foremost, I must reiterate that the ingestion of essential oils is  specific to dõTERRA® because of the safety standards we have in place. Please do not ingest any other essential oils because there is just too much tricky business in the industry! 


TIP! 

If an essential oil comes from a food plant (e.g. orange or lemon) or a herb that is used in cooking (e.g. oregano, thyme), then it is fine to be taken internally. Also, if a plant has a long history of internal use (e.g. Frankincense, Myrrh) then it is OK to take internally. If not, then only use the essential oil aromatically and topically.


When adding citrus oils to liquid that we are ingesting (water, tea, etc.), we want to be using glass, ceramic or stainless steel only.





An easy and effective way to take oils internally is to drop them into a shot glass of water and just shoot them back. 

Remember the diffuser blend for seasonal allergies? You can use the exact same recipe in a shot glass. 

Here are some other remedies to try: 

WARD IT OFF

In a shot glass of water, add 2 drops Oregano, 2 drops Lemon, 2 drops Peppermint. Gargle, then swallow.


TUMMY TAMER

In a shot glass of water, add 2 drops each ZenGest, Peppermint, Ginger and swallow it down.


I CAN'T GET SICK!

In a shot glass of water, add 2 drops each Frankincense, Lemon, On Guard, and Tea Tree. If you’re brave, add Oregano. Bottoms up! 



Let's Get To Know Some Oils! 

Now that you know the basics, I hope you're keen to learn more about individual oils and blends.... Here are the "top 12" oils that you'll find in most beginner kits. 


These are the oils that are the easiest to use, have the widest range of uses, and are the most useful to have on hand -- even if you think you don't need a particular one at this exact moment in time. 


Having essential oils on hand is just being prepared. Believe me, if you burn yourself, you want to get Lavender on the area immediately. You don't want to wait for an order to be shipped, to get relief!  

Adaptiv Blend is perfect for when you need some CALM and FOCUS in your day. Comes in a roller bottle and there is a supplement in the same product family. It's brilliant!
Balance Blend grounds you and keeps you steady. Reapply as often as you like. It's a beautiful, woodsy blend that I use on the back of my neck to keep me relaxed and happy.
Due to its chemistry, Copaiba interacts directly with the CB2 receptors in the body (much like CBD oil) and offers excellent pain relief as well as calming properties.
Deep Blue is one of the original proprietary blends, and offers incredible topical pain relief. It comes in liquid form, in a cream, and in a stick format. The product family also includes a natural anti-inflammatory supplement.
Another OG blend from dōTERRA, this one is called "Breathe" in the US. Its lovely soft aroma packs amazing assistance for breathing. Available in a dropper bottle as shown, and in a pre-diluted roller bottle. 
We call Frankincense the King of Oils. When in doubt, use Frankincense first because it is THAT versatile. It is soothing and powerfully anti-inflammatory. It also works as an enhancer, to amplify the effects of other oils. Use it alone or in combination with... anything.
Lavender is the Swiss Army knife of essential oils. Its beautiful aroma is calming, cleansing and soothing... use it as a sleep aid, to help with skin issues and to create a calm environment in your home, your car or your office. I love to drop this on dryer balls to make my laundry smell amazing.
Lemon is a wonderful cleansing oil. Add it to your water to help your body gently detox every day (your liver loves it). Create your own DIY cleaners and ditch the toxic commercial versions. Use it to remove sticky residue and boost the grease-busting properties of your dish soap. I use it in my dishwasher instead of Rinse Aid.  
Everyone needs On Guard. This oil blend helps your immune system by killing pathogens and stimulating your own immune cells to work harder. It comes in many different products, from toothpaste to hand soap to household cleaners, so you can use small amounts throughout your day and have the best chance to stay healthy through the year.
Oregano is the BAZOOKA for your immune system. This is the one I reach for when prevention hasn't worked, and I'm actually getting sick. It is extremely powerful and effective at killing pathogens.  
Who doesn't know Tea Tree? I think it was the first essential oil I ever used (along with Eucalyptus) when I was a child. My mom had the same natural approach to health that I have! Tea Tree is widely used as a natural topical antiseptic.
Sweet relief for digestive issues. It matters not if it's constipation or the opposite, bloating from gas or heartburn, this blend balances the digestive system and gets everything working normally again. It's not magic, it's biochemistry.

And, there's more! 

Essential oils are without a doubt, fantastic. But, there are many other things that go into creating a healthy, wholesome lifestyle. 


Think about how you clean your home... did you know that the home is where people are exposed to the most toxins? Don't let your cleaning products make you sick. 


Think about your skincare and personal care products. This is an area that exposes women to tens of thousands of artificial chemicals every day -- most of them not proven to be safe. Be mindful about what you allow into your body through your skin! 


Think about your nutrition. Do you eat a perfect diet? Hmmm.... me neither. Never has it been truer than today, that supplementation is essential to nourishing our bodies. 


Need help navigating the emotional roller coaster? Essential oils are the fastest way to change your mind. Literally.
