What is doTERRA and why do I love it?
doTERRA is a company that makes and sells pure therapeutic grade essential oils. I used to buy essential oils at the health food store. I thought they were pure oils, without any additives or dyes. I have since learned that if the bottle doesn't say CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade), it is unsafe to ingest, and sometimes to use topically. For instance, a friend's daughter got a burn on her hand. Lavender is great for burns, so she put some on that she got at the health food store. It burned her daughter more because the company had put alcohol in it.
doTERRA's oil is great because you can ingest it and use it topically and aromatically with no problems. I use at least one oil every day, usually more than that.
Here are a bunch of true miracles that have happened thanks to doTERRA:
Fevers: Landon had a fever and he was throwing up terribly one night. I got out peppermint oil, mixed it with a little bit of coconut oil, and put it on the soles of his feet and his back and his tummy. I mixed a little with water and had him drink it. Then I put some lavender on his back and the bottom's of his feet. His fever disappeared within the hour and he stopped vomiting and went to sleep.
My friend's little boy got the same thing the next day and I gave her the peppermint oil to try - same results.
Toothache: My mom hasn't had a dentist appointment in a long time. Some work that the dentist did failed and she had a horrible toothache for months and months. Her friend gave her a doTERRA blend called OnGuard and she put it on her tooth every day and had no pain.
Acne: Once a month I tend to break out really bad. I got a blend by doTERRA called ClearSkin and my skin has stopped breaking out. I love this stuff!
Sore Muscles: I went shooting for my first time about two months ago. We used rifles and the kickback was pretty strong. I was sore after an hour and I put a cream called Deep Blue Rub on my shoulder. When I woke up the next morning, I could move my arm fine and it wasn't throbbing like the night before.
Sinus Infections: About a month ago, our family came to visit my mom. While I was here, I got really sick because of the cat hair and dust. I sneezed and coughed and I couldn't sleep because I was so stuffed up. My snot (gross, I know) was green and I knew I had a bad infection. I put Oregano, lemon and OnGuard oils in capsules and took those twice a day. I felt so much better after three days and the infection left within a week and a half and that was without antibiotics.
UTI: If you've ever had a UTI before, you know how yucky you feel. Again I put Oregano and lemon in capsules and drank OnGuard in water. The UTI was cleared up in three days and there was no burning after that. I knew it was a UTI because I have had them before. I love that I could use natural oils instead of harsh antibiotics.
Migraines or headaches: Once or twice a month I get migraines that send me to my bed and I have to have darkness or it throbs. DoTERRA has a great blend called PastTense and when I roll it on my temples, the relief is almost instantaneous.
There are TONS more miracles I have seen from using the oils, but it's time for this post to end.
Only THIS month, deTERRA is offering $100 in free oils when you spend $100. This is a fabulous deal and I don't know when the next promotion will be. If you sign up to be a consultant, you save 20% on the oils.
