Today's Class - Family/Child Wellness with Essential Oils Recap


Hello friends!

Today was yet another amazing essential oils class, and if you missed it, I'd love to give you a little recap of some great "need to know" information about keeping your family healthy naturally!

It was awesome to have a very special guest, Angela Dombrowsky, all the way from Kelso, Washington. She has a great wealth of knowledge about the oils, and has used them for just about everything in her home from treating illness, to cleaning, to making her own deodorant and chapstick! With four kids, she's become a family health expert.

Our guests nibbled on delicious snacks and tried Citrus Bliss water (so tasty) while peppermint diffused around us. Did you know that diffusing and ingesting these Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils can kill pathogens while lifting your mood, calming your body, and smelling amazing...all at the same time? You just have to know how! Use a cold air diffuser, as heating up the oils can change their structure, and won't give you the same results. Also, a little goes a long way! We filled up our glass water jug and only had to use about five drops of oil.

Something amazing about doTERRA Essential Oils is they are so very pure they can actually be ingested and used directly on the skin, unlike the health store brands which are only used aromatically. This gives you three different ways to use the product and is much more effective. It's all because each batch of indigenously harvested oil is tested to earn the Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade standard, the highest of it's kind.

Here are some great home remedies Angela shared with us all:

Allergies: Use 5 drops each of Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint
-can be taken in a veggie capsule or drink it down
-smaller doses can be used topically on children
** These 3 oils are actually a part of the Introductory Pack, which includes 5ml of each oil. This is a great way to see how oils can become a part of your everyday life.


Ear Infection: Use 2 drops of Melaleuca directed on top of ear (not inside ear) down to the glands in the neck.
-This should soothe and help pain as well as work on the infection.

Energy: Use 1 drop each of Wild Orange and Peppermint to the back of your neck and smell it in your hands. This should give you a quick pick-me-up whenever you need it. Caffeine takes a back seat to this one, and energy drinks don't hold a candle to this natural, chemical-free fix!
-Need more for regular use? Use a 10ml glass roller-ball. Add 40 drops of each and fill to the top with Fractionated Coconut Oil as a carrier oil. You'll be ready whenever the slump hits.

*FLU*
The Natural Flu Shot: In a 10ml glass roller-ball, use 20 drops Oregano, 40 drops Lemon, and 30 drops OnGaurd (fill to the top with Fractionated Coconut Oil as carrier oil).

Foot Fungus: Use Melaleuca and/or Oregano directly on the foot.
-If someone you love has this, put these oils in the bottom of the shower before getting in yourself to ward off this fungus and protect your feet!

Hand Sanitizer: In small spray mister, use 10 drops of OnGaurd and fill to the top with water.
-Use this on hands, shopping cart handles, door handles, you name it!

Immunity Boost: Use 1-3 drops of OnGaurd.
-Diffuse, apply topically, or ingest (best in a veggie-cap since it is a bit spicy on the way down)

"Owie" Spray: In small spray mister, use 15 drops Melaleuca, 15 drops Lavender, and fill to the top with Fractionated Coconut Oil as a carrier oil.
-Spray directly on skin for cuts, scrapes, rashes, etc.
-Also, try Frankincense!

Pink Eye: Use 1 drop Melaleuca and 1 drop Purify on the brow bone and around the eye (do not get it in the eye, it's best to lay down while applying).

Sinus: Use 1 drop each of Breathe and Lime directly on your sinuses.
-This will dry up mucus!

Tantrums: Use 1 drop Serenity and 1 drop Balance on the bottom of your child's feet.

There are so many uses for these great, natural oils...this list doesn't even begin to scratch the surface...but it's a great starter list for your family's health concerns that may otherwise send you to the doctor. I feel so empowered to be able to help my family in the comfort of our own home, without having to sit in a waiting room with other sick people! My kids seem to put out extra effort to touch every surface at the doctor's office! Now, we can treat simple illness at home without the risk of getting another virus while trying to treat the first!
