My Secret Love

I have a confession to make one that I have never shared, well maybe a few people know…

I am an Essential Oil Enthusiast.

For as long as I can remember I have loved the calming effect of lavender, the energy boost of orange and lemon, and the pain relieving effect of peppermint. I call myself a “spice girl” because I absolutely love anything with spice. 

Essential oils are used for a wide range of Emotional and physical wellness applications, they can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends.

There are two methods that I use with my essential oils:

1. Aromatic - Certain Oils when diffused can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also purify the air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens.

2. Topical - Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically with the use of a carrier oil to protect the skin.

Doterra oils are certified pure therapeutic grade oils,  the potency starts with the plant itself. Doterra is committed to providing the purest, most potent essential oils possible.

When I think of essential oils I get excited, I don’t leave home without them. There have been times when I turn around and go back for my oils.  That's how dedicated I am to having my oils with me at all times.

I have at least three roll-on’s with me at all times one would be my peppermint oil for headaches for pain for discomfort anywhere, next would be my clary sage that is more of a relaxing blend for women with hormonal issues it’s a calming oil good for anxiety, and the last one would be a mixture that I make up of my own choosing and it Includes lavender, peppermint, lemon eucalyptus. 

One of the things I love about my essential oils is that I can use them for cleaning, adding them to a spray bottle of distilled water or vinegar to clean my cabinets, and countertops.

I use wild orange or lemon to clean and purify my home environment, also the oils can be diffused for a clean fresh smell. 

Topically essential oils can be safely applied for massage therapy.

Using the oils for soothing muscles after a long day, or applying them on the feet and knees before and after exercise relieve pain or discomfort.

Doterra essential oils is another one of the ways that I take charge of my health. Not only do they have oils but they also have wellness supplements, skin care, hair care, weight management products, immune boosting products, home and cleaning supplies and so much more.

I am always learning new things about essential oils, I just recently started going to the sauna and one of the things that they use after your treatment is an ice cold eucalyptus towel that totally relaxes you.

The  purpose of my blog is to talk about all things health and wellness, essential oils is definitely a part of my life and anything that helps me on my journey to wellness I want to share with you.

There is so much more to self-care that I will be sharing with you on this journey, so get ready, because you deserve to Thrive!
