Hi everyone!  I am Jen and I am excited to share with you what I am learning about essential oils.  I am excited to be building with dōTERRA.  dōTERRA means “gift of the earth”.  These gifts that have been around for thousands of years are amazing!  Each oil has its own benefits and when accompanied with other oils, the benefits can be enhanced.  Every person has their favorites.

Today I am going to share my top few favorites and why.  I love mint.  I have for a long time.  Peppermint is one of the top 10 essential oils.  It has so many benefits.  I use it for extra flavor in my mint tea which then in turn helps give me fresh breath.  I use it for headaches on occasion placing a little on my temples and across my forehead.  And lastly I use is it in blends to diffuse or put on topically to enhance immune protection during the winter or allergy protection in the spring.  Balance is another favorite of mine.  I love the smell of it, but is also helps with my occasional minimal vertigo.  Balance is the grounding blend and it helps to do just that.  It can help to relax you at the end of a crazy day or calm anxieties when needed.  Lastly, one of my new favorites is Citrus Bliss.  It reminds me of when I was kid and would get an Orange Creamsicle for a treat.  This blend smells just like them.  Sweet and yummy and the best part is that it is energizing and motivating.  For example, I was sitting at a summit that is my company puts on, and it was early afternoon as I was getting sleepy.  So was my sister.  I happened to have a key chain roller bottle of this in my bag, so my sister and I put some on the inside of our wrists and it perked us right up to be able to concentrate for the rest of the summit.  It was great!  I love to diffuse it in the house when I need a little afternoon pick-me-up or put a little in my necklace diffuser.

I am slowly building my box of essential oils, and enjoying different ones for different things. Keep in my mind you don’t have to be “sick” or have problems to be an oil user.  Many of the oils can be used simply just because.  If you have a favorite you would like to share with me, then comment below.
