I just read a post about how antibiotic production is slowing to a halt, mainly because all those super-bacteria that have cropped up are all resistant to antibiotics and the scientists haven’t been able to develop a new medicine to combat the resistant bacteria. Me oh my! What shall we do? Our overmedicated society has created this crisis. Well, I have found a solution – certified pure therapeutic grade Essential Oils – that’s a mouthful! doTERRA is the name you need to remember. doTERRA is a company offering these 100 percent pure essential oils and my family and I have been using them since the beginning of the year. I have to say, I love love love doTERRA!

First of all, the oils work. Got a sore throat? Gargle some OnGuard and BAMMO, Sore Throat GONE-O! That was the first thing I started doing and the results were literally instant. I was SO psyched. Before doTERRA I had tried every sore throat remedy over the counter. I get really painful sore throats and hadn’t found anything that even put a dent in my pain. OnGuard was a miracle (although I hate throwing that word around because miracles are serious stuff – but believe me, this was serious relief!) Then my new little one started getting fussy at night. So I started rubbing lavender on her feet and the first time I did that – SNOOOOOOZZZZE! She slept for 9 hours for the first time (she was 5 months old then and had only slept like 5 hours before that in a stretch.) SUPER PSYCHED! I had purchased the family physicians kit to start using the oils, which contains 10 different small bottles so you can get into the oils and experiment. I felt like a mad scientist, blending and layering oils all over my family. My husband was a sceptic, but then he got a sore throat and became a believer in OnGuard! Thank you doTERRA!

After that I was addicted. Every month I wanted to buy a new oil because I was introduced to everythingessential.me where you can look up health concerns and find out which oils to use to help your condition. This was dangerous. I was looking up every little thing that was happening to me and wanted to get my hands on those oils to try them out. I mean, this is all natural after all!

The best thing about the oils is for my kiddos and my family. Now, in my quest to be super-mom, I have a program to help combat illness and stress and anxiety and the like when it STARTS to happen – a preventative protocol that doesn’t involve heavy chemicals. My kids are sleeping better, their colds are shorter and we are all happier because of doTERRA essential oils. I am so blessed to have friends who have shared these with us. And the best part is – essential oil infused chocolate truffles! More to come on that later… YUM.
