Have any of you used any brand of essential oils? My husband and I have been using essential oils for some time now... and we LOVE THEM!!! Just to give a quick explanation: Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Each has different uses and some we just like for the smell. We have signed up as Independent Product Consultants and would invite anyone who is interested to call us, e-mail us, or go to our website www.mydoterra.com/chelseasmith. We aren't trying to use our blog as a means of pushing some product on our friends and family, but these oils help us on a daily basis and we thought you all might be interested.
Uses
We, personally, have found these oils can relieve various ailments like muscle/joint pain, insomnia, burns, cold and flu, restless legs, headaches, bad moods/stress (good one for Westin), cankers, sores, ear infections, allergies to name a few. The uses can be endless and we have a book that gives us a guide to all sorts of maladies. Other people have other needs and there are oils for those, but these are the ones that we have needed in our family. They can be applied topically (directly on the skin), internally, and aromatically (they have diffusers that sends the aroma into the air or put it on a cotton ball and smell it).
Why doTERRA?
Other brands of essential oils are good but doTERRA is really the best. If any of you have a certain brand that you like, I would recommend looking into some comparisons. Usually essential oils are what they call "therapeutic" grade, but doTERRA does not use any fillers or artificial ingredients. They test every batch to make sure it is free of any pesticides or unwanted contaminates from various weeds or anything like that, whereas other brands just do random testing here and there. They also make sure and take the oils from plants that are grown under the right conditions and harvested at the right time to get the most effective oils. They also have a great business opportunity.
So if any of you would like to experiment with these oils just let us know. If you would like to sign up you can call us or go to our doTERRA website www.mydoterra.com/chelseasmith. We are also having a meeting on August 5th in Mountain Green. There will be some product giveaways and anyone who attends will get a 10% discount on anything they want to order.
