THE PRIZE
Last week I got to learn more about essential oils at a product launch doTERRA put on for their new Dr. Mom Essential Oil Kit, which is a collection of essential oils that help moms, grandmas, and individuals care for their family’s everyday needs using safe, natural remedies. And I have one to give away to a lucky reader!
The Dr. Mom Essential Oil Kit includes the following 9 essential oils ($150 retail value):
- Lavender (calming and relaxing)
- Lemon (cleanser and mood improvement)
- Peppermint (ease breathing and digestive aid)
- Melaleuca (cleansing and regenerative, esp. for skin)
- Oregano (digestive and respiratory support)
- Deep blue (ease achy joins and sore muscles)
- Breathe (ease breathing, cleans and soothes airways)
- Digestzen (digestive relief)
- On Guard (eliminate and control pathogens)
REVIEW
I didn’t know much about essential oils before, but I learned some good things that made me want to try some of the essential oils. I don’t like going to the doctor and taking medicine, so this more holistic approach to staying well and energized sounds good to me! (However, I do think that we have the longest and healthiest lifespan ever because of modern medicine, so there is definitely a place for both.)
If you’re new to essential oils, here’s some good background information from doTERRA’s website:
- Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.
- Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin.
- Essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits.
- Essential oils can be used aromatically, topically, or internally, by themselves or in combination with other oils.
I learned from this presentation that essential oils are what protect the plants that produce them from disease. It makes sense that they could do the same for us.
I have tried the lemon, peppermint, and lavender, all of which have wonderful aromas. Like I said, I’m new to essential oils, but I’m open to their possibilities. It’s always fun to try something new, especially when it works!
