Oil of the Week: On Guard

Now that we have talked about all the single oils in the top ten oils with doTERRA, lets take a look at the blends. This oil that we are starting with is one you are going to want to have on hand at all times in your home as the kids are going back to school and cold and flu season is starting up. On Guard is such an amazing blend. Smells great, tastes great, and works AMAZING.

With a blend of wild orange, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, and rosemary, this oil blend has a spicy and woodsy smelling aroma. On Guard is a great oil to use aromatically, topically, as well as internally to help support a healthy immune system function and also to promote an energizing and uplifting environment.

This is one of the oils that I keep with me at ALL times. I usually have this one diffusing in the house to help keep the air pure as well as energize the environment. Every morning I put a drop of this on the bottoms of my feet to help support my immune system. If I feel a cold coming on or a lot of people around me at work or home are sick I will even take 1-2 drops of On Guard in a glass of water to help ward off any germs and help boost my immune system. This is also one of my favourite oils to mix into multi-surface cleaners, as it is antibacterial and anti-fungal and smells great!

As always lets check out doTERRAs educational video for On Guard!

So many great uses for this oil. Some of my favourite ways to use this oil I have listed below. Since this is the oil of the week, there will be a couple more spotlight posts about it with some recipes as well.

  • Mix with water into a spray bottle for a great multi-surface cleaner.
  • Add two to three drops in a veggie capsule for an immune boost.*
  • Mix with fractionated coconut oil for a natural hand sanitizer that smells great!
  • Put 1-2 drops into oatmeal or soak sliced apples in water and a few drops for a healthy, immune-boosting snack that tastes great!*
  • Diffuse for an uplifting and energizing aroma.
  • Mix into laundry soap for a great smell and antibacterial wash (or just buy the pre-made soap!)
  • Add two to three drops in a veggie capsule to support healthy cardiovascular function and circulation.*

doTERRA has a whole product line of On Guard products from toothpaste to laundry soap to  hand soap and throat drops. All of these products are AMAZING and work great! I will be honest that I was a bit skeptical of the toothpaste at first but I completely love it and would never switch back to another one now, not only are my teeth whiter, but I also feel better about knowing that it is all natural and helping to support my immune system. Be sure to check out the full line available here!

Until next time,

Frankincense and the Brain

This week we aren’t going to have specific recipe days, because frankincense is such a powerhouse oil it serves some really important purposes for health benefits. Today I want to talk about how frankincense can help support the brain and brain function.

As we know the brain is very complex and is by far the most important and vital organ in the human body. The brain plays an important role in managing and directing all other organs, nervous systems, and body processes – it essentially controls everything your body does. Essential oils can powerfully impact and benefit the brain and how it functions day to day. When essential oils are used aromatically (diffusing or inhaling) the oils are directly accessing the brain through the olfactory bulb and therefore have the fastest physical and emotional responses from the brain.

Frankincense is one of the top oils for helping to support the brain and brain function due to the specific chemical compounds the oil is comprised of.

So today we are going to talk about a couple of remedies comprised of frankincense and a mix of other essential oils to help support brain function.

Brain Haze Buster (roller bottle recipe)

Ingredients:

  • 10 – 15 drops doTERRA frankincense essential oil
  • 10-15 drops doTERRA cedarwood essential oil
  • 10-15 drops doTERRA patchouli essential oil
  • 10-15 drops doTERRA sandalwood essential oil
  • 10-15 drops doTERRA vetiver essential oil
  • 1 roller bottle
  • doTERRA fractionated coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. Put essential oils into roller bottle, top off with coconut oil. Shake well to mix.
  2. Roll onto the back of neck to help enhance circulation to the brain and help to promote a more alert state.

Focus Blend

While studying of trying to focus try diffusing 1-2 drops doTERRA Melissa essential oil, frankincense essential oil, and patchouli essential oil.

You can also put this on the bottoms of your feet, base of the skull, and under the tounge twice daily to help support focus and cognitive function.

Frankincense has also been shown in many studies to help with Alzheimer’s, autism, brain injuries, Parkinson’s, seizures, and dementia. When used in the right protocols this oil can have powerful healing benefits to help provide a better quality of life and reduce the impact of some of these conditions.

Blends of the Week: Oregano

Since diffusing oregano oil is not usually recommended to be diffused due to its high phenol content, we are shaking things up a bit. Instead of diffuser blends, we have some rollerball blends this week!

Oregano when combined with other oils has very powerful healing properties for a wide arrangement of aliments.

Put the drops of oil into the roller bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with coconut oil. Shake well to mix. Roll onto heels and let absorb to help mend cracked heels.

Warts be Gone Roller Blend

  • 10 drops doTERRA oregano oil
  • 5 drops doTERRA lemongrass oil
  • 5 drops doTERRA frankincense oil
  • 1 glass roller bottle

Blend of the day: Tea Tree

Tea Tree oil is an oil that I honestly just started learning how to diffuse a couple months ago. I used to totally avoid putting it in the diffuser because I hated the smell. But when you combine it with the right mix of oils it adds a very fresh and purifying scent. Here are some of my favourite ways to use Tea Tree oil in the diffusers at home.

 

Let me know what you think of these blends or if you have some favourite recipes for diffusing Tea Tree.

See you tomorrow,
