RE- Train Your Brain: Daily Habits & your oils! DoTERRA Top Ten Oils and How to use them in your
Many people learn about essential oils at a class or hear about them from a friend, and they may purchase a beautiful kit of doTERRA oils, or even be gifted one (if they are incredibly lucky!) But when the oils arrive at the door, and they open the box, they may think, "Oh Boy, What do I do with these?" Some will use their lavender and On Guard or whatever else they maybe familiar with, but others who are completely new to oils don't know where to start or how to move forward, and rather than scheduling their free wellness consultation to learn more, the oils just sit in the box on the shelf. (Sometimes for years, which is truly tragic!!!!- Do NOT let that be you!
First off, I want to tell you, I am here for you, I know this journey maybe completely new and daunting. You might not know me personally and might feel nervous sharing your biggest health concerns and wellness goals with a stranger, but trust me, I will never judge, I am here to serve and assist you on your journey. So please contact me to schedule your free wellness consult, so we can discuss your health concerns and how oils may support your body on this wellness journey.
Second, this journey is new and I am here to help you retrain your brain. As an oil user for 20+ years it is second nature for me to reach for my bottle lavender when I get a cut or burn, but you probably still reach for the neosporin. That is ok, but now that you have these amazing natural, toxic free products that support the body you should use them. So, please always feel free to email me if you have a question on how to deal with a specific issue. I will respond to you as quickly as I can! But I also encourage you to empower yourself, and to get your hands on a copy of the Modern Essentials Book- you can get a copy of the newest edition online for $21.99. (the newest edition has doTERRAs specific blend names listed, where as previous editions used the generic blend names, example: Breathe was called the Respiratory blend). You can also find used editions for less, and there is a Modern Essentials App for your phone as well which I find handy when I am on the run, it doesn't contain all the information that the book does,the book is a fountain of information- you can read about each oil, you can look up an issue and find which oils will help, there are recipes for making products, science of how the oils work, detailed information on how to use oils and so much more!!!
Having a copy of the book helps you be able to research concerns yourself and empowers you to feel confident using your oils. It is just another tool on this journey. (and it helps us retrain our brains!) Here is a link to order the book: https://www.aromatools.com/modern-essentials-handbook-10th-edition.html?___store=default&gclid=CjwKCAjwpeXeBRA6EiwAyoJPKrYh64rjHvv8RZejHZTPgpvzKBteAfD1zoTq3HG5vftrenXnHqT4IBoCxI8QAvD_BwE
This blog will go through the top ten oils in most enrollment kits and how to incorporate them into you daily life. These are just a few of the best uses for these oils. As you get comfortable with them I am sure you will find more uses, but I thought this might help you get comfortable. Please enjoy and hopefully you can start implementing these steps and see how oils can improve your daily health and wellness. Please reach out to schedule your Wellness Consult. We can do a wellness consult over the phone, via skype or in person. Whatever you are most comfortable with. I usually can schedule morning or evening appointments. It is 30 mins for you. I look forward to helping you take the first steps on this journey.
