How do I use oils???

Jenee Ricks

Sometimes, you often ask yourself “how do I use these oils”. I know we’ve touched on this a little. But this article is a great article right from the doTERRA website. When you get the Modern Essential book , and you go to start using oils, this will tell you the oil you need for the symptoms you are experiencing. I love it! Guys I can’t tell you enough how much I love diffusing oils around our house. Some oils may be too strong to put right on your skin. So be careful of that. You’ll want to have a carrier oil on hand, like fractionated coconut oil to help dilute it some.

I promise you, once you start using oils and introducing them into your house, your going to be just like the meme I have posted here! You’ll be addicted!

I always say to my kids, “brush the ones you want to keep!”

Jenee Ricks

Let’s talk teeth!

Don’t think of doTERRA onGUARD toothpaste as “adult” toothpaste!

I have to tell my kids “brush the teeth you want to keep!” Why I have to say that is beyond crazy to me! Of course you’re going to brush them all! But let’s be real, they sometimes do a really bad job by themselves!

Listen if you could use toothpaste that was great for you, you would right? The doTERRA onGUARD toothpaste is all we use anymore!  It is fluoride free and provides the protective benefits of the therapeutic-grade On Guard essential oils. It also helps in reducing plaque and whitening teeth!! Guys I can’t brag enough about it! I love it! The On Guard essential oil is great….so you add this to it…..you won’t be sad you switched! I also take the little packets with our family when we go on trips. When you fly, the little travel packets are within the limit you can carry on!

I will be talking about all of the On Guard products in the next couple days! We use the hand sanitizer, essential oils of On Guard, Laundry soap, Hand soap and the beadlets!!

Take my word for it! Try the onGUARD toothpaste!

Essential Oils can help what??

Jenee Ricks

Do you have kids? Have any of them been diagnosed with ADHD? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions then you have to read the article below! Essential Oils have been used for YEARS. When I say years….I don’t mean 50 or 100. I mean thousands of years! History of Essential Oils

Oils are so easy to put in a diffuser while your kids sleep! Are you an oil believer yet?

Check out this statement from the article below.

Essential Oils May Improve ADHD Symptoms

Research by the late Dr. Terry S. Friedmann, a physician who believed in treating the body, mind and spirit as one, showed that vetiver oil,  (vetiver is a type of Indian grass) was beneficial for children with ADHD.

When the children inhaled the oil three times a day for 30 days they had improved brain wave patterns and behavior and did better in school. Eighty percent of the children also improved when using cedarwood oil similarly.

Cedarwood essential oil was chosen for the study because it has a high concentration of sesquiterpenes (they make up 50 percent of its constituents), which improve oxygenation of brain cells.

Vetiver is known to calm and balance the nervous system while stimulating the circulatory system, according to Friedmann. He explained:

“When the essential oil is inhaled, the micro droplets are carried to the limbic system of the brain, which is that portion that is the processing center for reason, emotion and smell, and to the hypothalamus, which is the hormone command center.

The essential micro droplets are also carried to the lungs where they enter the circulatory system.”

Go on…..Read it for yourself!

Recipes

COLDS!!

Jenee Ricks

Colds! 

Do you get colds? What about your kids?! Of course they do. A cold can be anything from runny or stuffy nose, congestion, cough, sore throat or sneezing. So of course, we all get colds!

There are a few items we don’t ever run out of in our house when it is cold season. Breathe stick and Breathe drops! We use these religiously in our home in the winter.

The other thing that I make up is the “Cold Recipe”

I put it in a smaller roller bottle that I get at Aroma Tools and add the following:

5 drops of Lemon

5 drops of Thyme

1tbsp of fractionated coconut oil.

You simply apply a small amount to the throat, forehead,chest and back of the neck 2-3 times a day.

The roller bottle shown is 1/6 ounce.

These oils are safe to use on kids topically.

This came in handy so many times for me this winter!

The thing I love about oils is the fact of your kids not refusing them! Cough syrup they hate…they don’t want to take it. This is a super simple way to apply it, even when they are just laying there. Fighting them to take their medicine is over with oils!
