My passion...what's this all about?

Remember the good old days? We lived life off the land, didn't fill our medicines and foods with chemicals and synthetic materials...we lived in connected communities and didn't sit and stare at flashing picture boxes for hours a day...there was no cancer, no AIDS...no ADHD.

Perhaps you don't remember those days. I'm certain I learned about them in my history and anthropology classes, but all of that is far past. Modern interventions have become so abundantly advanced in our society, and now we live mostly synthetic lives and run the risk of losing the opportunity to even eat organic food as cross-contamination becomes a problem. We eat genetically modified material everyday without even being told it's in our food, and the number one pastime of the generations is electronic! We've become quite complicated by trying to perfect and modify our existence, what if we got back to basics? What if we stopped taking over-the-counter painkillers that thinned our blood...or prescription medications that offer a long list of possible complications including thoughts of suicide and possible death? 

Truth is, most of us need to adjust and change with our changing world. You won't find me living without electricity on a farm. I do enjoy the comforts and new-found cleanliness of our 21st century lives. We've learned ways to contain and cure disease and purify products that would have spread disease before. I also enjoy the purity of eating food without chemical pesticides sprayed all over them or hormones injected into them. I love the idea of free-range animals who are treated as living things. I love the idea of buying local produce within the seasons, and enjoying the taste of perfectly ripened fruit and vegetables. In the midst of this, I do love researching online, my three favorite television shows, and my ipad. So, my passion is now combining the two seemingly different worlds.

The next step was, naturally, medicine. I wanted alternative ways to treat my family's ailments without breaking the bank. Enter...essential oils, and not just any oils. I found the most natural and pure products from doTERRA. What's the difference? doTERRA essential oils are the highest grade of essential oils possible, Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. This means they've been additionally tested past the norm to ensure there are absolutely no fillers, synthetic compounds, pesticides or residue, as well as no extra unnecessary parts of the plant (i.e. stem, leaf, etc.) so you only use the oil in the absolute purest form. In addition to this, doTERRA only extracts the oils from plants/trees found in their natural habitat in the correct harvesting time. For example, Frankincense is sourced from the gum resin tears of trees in Oman in peak season! This is so important and amazing to me!

The difference is so clear! I now have completely natural remedies for our everyday problems, and knowledge for future use. Yesterday, I calmed two extremely rambunctious children in time for bed with a little Lavender and helped relieve my husband's foot pain with Deep Blue Rub. Today, I treated my step-son's headache with the PastTense Tension Blend, and I'm currently on a program to get my blood sugars in check in the midst of my gestational diabetes without using insulin (Coriander, Basil, OnGaurd, Balance, Lavender, and Lifelong Vitality Pack). My healthcare starts in my home, and that is such a comfort. The doctors are there, and yes, I will definitely use them when necessary, but I will always seek a natural alternative in the midst of a health storm. doTERRA makes it that much easier!

My passion really is bringing together our 21st century lifestyle with completely natural remedies used for centuries and sharing my findings with those I meet. I'm so excited to have this knowledge now, and only wish I found it years ago.
