"Essential oils are not just sweet-smelling (or - tasting) liquids. They're some of the most potent, concentrated, and effective parts of plant, distilled into a hyper-concentrated form. Pure essential oils are composed of the super-fuel of a plant, which has tremendous implications for you and me. Depending on the oil, their properties can include antimicrobial, antibacterial, analgesic (aka painkilling), antiseptic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory benefits. They can help boost your immune system and promote circulation. They can provide soothing, mood-enhancing effects and, in some cases, may help to alleviate depression. Essential oils can be used to treat aches and pains; they can be employed as potent, natural cleaning detergents. They are proven repellents for mosquitoes and can help alleviate the symptoms of skin ailments like dandruff and eczema. On a purely superficial level, many smell amazing and make wonderful fragrances. On a deeper level, they can be integrated into alternative healing modalities in order to improve the quality of your health. " - Just the Essentials
Three ways to use essential oils...
Aromatically - you can diffuse essentials oils to kill germs, help with anxiety, stress, energy, sleep, asthma and more. For a spa-like effect, you can add a few drops to the bottom of your shower and breathe in the steam or put a drop in your hand and cup over your face and inhale, add a drop to diffuser jewelry, or simply inhale straight from the bottle.
"When you sniff an essential oil, some of the molecules of the oil actually enter your nostrils and dissolve in your olfactory epithelium (the mucus-y tissue at the top of your nasal cavity). Those molecule stimulate receptors that take the information to your olfactory cortex, where the perception of the smell is processed. This is the point at which you recognize what it is you're smelling. But something else happens when you inhale an airborne essential oil: The signals from your olfactory receptors are transmitted to other parts of the brain, including the amygdala and hippocampus. The amygdala and hippocampus govern emotion, memory, learning and behavior. This is why certain scents have an impact on your emotions and it is the reason why aromatherapy is so effective - it works by triggering these parts of your brain. Smelling certain essential oils can change the way you feel almost instantly. In fact, research shows that everything from nausea, stress, and insomnia to anxiety disorders, dementia symptoms and high blood pressure can be positively affected by inhaling airborne essential oils." - Just the Essentials
Topically - You can mix essential oils with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil and apply to certain parts of your body. For example, certain oils help with sore muscles, headache and tension, others ease digestive and respiratory issues, and there are even oils for anti-aging.
Internally - You can not use all brands internally, but there are certain oils from Doterra that can be taken internally and have amazing health benefits. Since essential oils are so potent you only need very little. You can add 1-2 drops of a citrus oil to your water for cleansing, drop some under your tongue to help with head tension and inflammation or add some to a veggie cap for digestive issues and over all healthy cells.

Education & Support
Why do we use Essential Oils?
1. They are natural! We always want to use natural solutions first if possible!
2. They are safe! Don't get your oils at the grocery store?! You want to use only 3rd party tested, certified therapeutic grade essentials. Doterra has the strictest standards, and the most potent and powerful oils. Don't expect a knockoff oil that is filled with synthetics to take your migraine or insomnia away!
3. They are effective! An essential oil is 70-80 times stronger than its herbal counterpart. For example, 1 drop of peppermint is the equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea! Our bodies are actually a lot like plants and can use the unique properties of oils to combat threat without building resistance.
4. They are versatile. Take something like lemon essential oil: it detoxifies and purifies the air, cleanses our bodies, soothes a sore throat and is a natural goo be gone!
5. They are empowering. You now don't have to pop pills for every ache and pain or run to the doctors or urgent care at the drop of a hat. You can have a community to ask questions and have natural tools that work amazingly! It is so empowering to create healthy solutions for yourself and your friends and family!

"My toddler came down with a runny nose, cold and cough BAD this week! All before we are supposed to leave for a trip. I vowed to make 2018 a medicine free year for our family but her getting sick right before this trip made me nervous, what if the oils didn’t work? My husband was definitely was skeptical. I immediately started with the following protocol, for her (and myself once I started coming down with the same symptoms) and two days later she is running wild in my house - no runny nose, no cough. Flu Bomb Roller down the spine 3-4x a day (On Guard, Frankincense, Oregano, Melaluca, Lemon). Breathe and lavender heavily diluted on her chest at night. Manuka Honey + Elderberry 3x a day. Never has she ever bounced back from a cold so fast, usually I am wiping her nose for a good week but she is all better and I’m so impressed! We’ve used oils for overall wellness but this was the first time I got to put them to the test for actual sickness and I am so impressed!!!" - Brittany
