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.

Cracked Heels Roller Blend

  • 5 drops doTERRA oregano oil
  • 5 drops doTERRA frankincense oil
  • 3 drops doTERRA lemon oil
  • 3 drops doTERRA peppermint oil
  • 1 glass roller bottle
  • doTERRA fractionated coconut oil

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
  • doTERRA fractionated coconut oil

Put the drops of oil into the roller bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with coconut oil. Shake well to mix. Roll directly onto the wart for at least 7 days until it is gone. Continue to apply mixture for 1 more day after the wart is gone.

Immune System Support

  • 5 drops doTERRA frankincense oil
  • 5 drops doTERRA oregano oil
  • 10 drops doTERRA lemon oil
  • 10 drops doTERRA tea tree oil
  • 10 drops doTERRA OnGuard oil
  • 1 roller bottle
  • doTERRA fractionated coconut oil

Put the drops of oil into the roller bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with coconut oil. Shake well to mix. Roll onto the bottoms of feet daily.

Until tomorrow!

Tasty Tuesday: Oregano

Tasty Tuesday is back ladies and gents! And this week we have some recipes you and your family are going to love! So get those digestive enzymes and ZenGest oil ready, because we are going to feast today!

Before we get started I just wanted to share with you this guideline that I follow which is from the Essential Living book. This is how I tend to monitor how much essential oils to mix in replacement of herbs. Keeping in mind that replacing oil for herb will not only increase the flavour of the recipe but also the health benefit! Win, win!

1/2 teaspoon dried herb = 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh herb = 2-3 toothpick swirls of essential oil.

1 teaspoon dried herb = 1 tablespoon fresh herb = 1 drop essential oil

Lets start today with something easy, a basic pasta sauce that we will spice up!

Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 large can tomato sauce
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • 4 ounces Italian sausage
  • 4-6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 toothpick dip doTERRA basil essential oil
  • 1 toothpick dip doTERRA oregano essential oil
  • 1 drop doTERRA black pepper essential oil

Instructions:

  1. Cook onions until soft with minced garlic.
  2. Add sausage, cook until brown.
  3. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  4. Add tomato paste and tomato sauce and stir in to mixture.
  5. Season with essential oils, you can add more to your taste preferences.
  6. Serve over fresh spaghetti.
  7. Enjoy!

Next up a really yummy minestrone soup, that is also super easy to make, because I am honestly a fan of super easy recipes (I mean who isn’t).

Minestrone Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken sausage
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, diced
  • 28 oz can of tomatos, pureed
  • 2 cans tomato sauce (8oz)
  • 6 teaspoons beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 toothpick dip doTERRA basil essential oil
  • 1 toothpick dip doTERRA oregano essential oil
  • 1 toothpick dip doTERRA black pepper essential oil
  • 1 cup sea shell pasta

Instructions:

  1. Brown sausage, empty grease and add to large pot with all other ingredients.
  2. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce to simmer until vegetables are cooked.
  4. Continue cooking an additional 25-30 minutes or until pasta is done.
  5. Enjoy!

I have a few more great recipes to share, but I am going to save them until later this week.

So until tomorrow,

Oil of the Week: Oregano

Good morning! This week we are going to talk about an oil that I feel is often the gateway oil to essential oil use. I can pretty much guarantee that all of you have used or at the very least heard of oregano oil. Growing up in my house this was the go to oil anytime someone even had a sniffle to help prevent colds from getting worse. Oregano has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. But oregano is SO MUCH MORE than that, it is also a powerful cleaner and a great oil for spicing up recipes. I cant wait to help you explore this oil this week!

Oregano is amazing because not only is it anti-viral, it is also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and is considered an immunostimulant. But aside from its powerful healing powers, oregano is also an amazing oil to cook with!

So lets check out doTERRA’s video about oregano!

Like mentioned in the video, oregano oil is VERY powerful so you do need to be cautious about how you use it especially because of how pure this oil is from doTERRA. But this oil is one of my favourites and actually lives in my kitchen because of all the fun things you can use it in cooking for!

Okay so what are some of the best uses for oregano oil you ask? I got you covered! Check out some of the uses below!

  • Oregano oil makes a powerful cleaner! Just add some drops to a spray bottle of water, and clean away!
  • Adding 1-2 drops to a veggie capsule can help to support healthy respiratory function. *
  • Taking 1 drop daily in a veggie capsule can help to support a healthy immune system. *
  • Great for cooking!
  • Oregano helps to support healthy digestion. *
  • Acts as a purifying oil when diffused – caution should be taken and only a maximum of 1-2 drops used.

So who is excited to learn about this powerful oil?

Until tomorrow,
