Going Natural with doTerra

When it comes to cleaning, our homes are full of chemicals. We store it in our bathrooms, in the kitchen and it cause havoc with our health systems.

My fairly new love affair with doTerra’s essential oils and natural products was just the next logical step of the journey that I have been on in the last 12 years.I am sure, I am not alone. People are concerned about these issues but convenience and money limit people in their options. Also, their ignorance. I still see it every day. They rather support big superstores and vote with where they spend their money instead of supporting local products and local shops or would enjoy the benefits of buying from their own shops, get points that could be used to pay for free products and enjoy commissions after introducing others to their products. But this is MLM, this is pyramid scheme, they say! No, it’s a company that has far superior products and operates differently. That’s all!

These companies don’t need to advertise and they grown their businesses through their advocates and pay them well! We are still so conditioned about how businesses should operate and how jobs can be done that it is mind blowing.

We rather slave for somebody else’s business and build their dreams than work for ourselves and follow and build our own dreams! We give our time, sacrifice our family life for a steady but meager pay then work hard for a few years building a business that will serve and support you for the rest of your life!

People still respond to an MLM business like it was a woodoo….Although they absolutely love the products! And through the products, once they realise what a great incentives they get from the company, for example free oils, points to buy whatever you want for free at your next order and of course, the commissions! How cool is when at your next order you don’t need to pay, just use your well-earned commissions! And later, when the commission grows, your phone bill, your holiday covered, then….earning a part-time then a full time salary worth from your little oily business!

So look at these products carefully…They not only chemical and toxins-free but they are great quality, clean well and smell fantastic. You can trust them just like your best friends! Appreciate them and treat them well, just like you do your best friends. In return, they will keep you healthy, serve you faithfully and when you share them with family and friends, bring you points, commissions and financial security.

Traveling with kids and settling them with essential oils

Traveling with kids is fun but can be hard.
Some children respond well to routine and when they are in a new environment they become sick, unsettled, they don't sleep, their eating habits get upset and they become needy.
Other kids are more adaptable and enjoy their new surroundings and the challenges that being away from home means. Traveling abroad on flights has its own risks. Landing in another country where hygiene, different health, food preparation and eating standards, cleanliness of toilets and bathrooms differ from home puts our bodies to high alert state.

When we travel, we come into contact with bacteria and viruses against which our children have no genetic immunological defence. Not just that, but we sleep, wash where strangers slept and washed the night before, and when some of the bacteria and viruses people carry with them are so dangerous, why take any chances of picking them up? There are some alarming news that some hotels don't even change and wash the sheets between clients and when they wash it, with special equipment you can see the body fluids still on the sheets, mattresses and beds. With killer diseases on the rampage it is not being paranoid to take steps something longer-lasting than a tan.

Toilet and a killer combination exterminating oils
Even if your toilet facilities look clean that doesn't mean they have been disinfected. It doesn't take a minute to wipe the toilet seat - under as well as on top - with a tissue that has a neat drop of thyme essential oil on it. Even if your toilet is attached to your own room, it may be wise to do this daily. Remember too the toilet flush-knob and doorknob. If you are travelling in particularly suspects parts you might use a few tissues impregnated with thyme, lavender and eucalyptus. These three together provide a very powerful bactericide and few dangerous microorganisms can escape their exterminating effect. Also, it never hurts to wipe around the basin and bath with an essential oil tissues.

Bed bugs and body fluids...
Every bed in the world is teeming with minute life-forms which live off the dead skin cells we are constantly shedding, and mattresses soak up whatever fluids are put on them. This makes them a pretty hazardous area. As a precautionary measure, especially for your children, pull the bedclothes back and wipe the mattress with a tissue on which you have put a few drops of thyme, lavender and lemongrass essential oils.

"Last year I gave a travelling kit of oils to a young man who was planning to travel around the world  on a shoestring  and expected to stay in some pretty rough places. When he got back - after a safe and happy trip - he told me that when he arrived at the seedy dormitory-type hostels he was frequenting in places such as Calcutta, he would splatter a few drops of lavender on the mattress despite the amused looks of some of the hardened travellers around who thought he was just perfuming his sleeping quarters. In the morning, while all the others were scratching themselves madly, he packed his gear up like Joe Cool and went on his way. Throughout his trip he didn't get one single bite from a bed mite - which must be a record many other young adventurers would envy."

Home away from home
Making home away from home is easy with essential oils because you will be taking with you several that already have been using at home and the aroma provides a comforting aura of familiarity and security when used in new surroundings. Nowadays with smart technology and gadgets you even can take a USB diffuser or a car diffuser with you when you travel! Of course, this may not be as important  to you as it is to your children., who often feel insecure while away from home. Things may be fine while they are going to the beach and running around the pool and enjoying all the new  and wondrous things, but when Mum goes out - even just to the bar downstairs with baby listeners alerted - or when the night and darkness approaches and they are surrounded by all those strange noises, children can feel abandoned and frightened. At home alone in a familiar room a child hears the rest of the family talking, laughing, watching TV, moving about and can sleep perfectly well with all these familiar noises. But left alone in a strange room with nothing except their furtive imagination and the banging doors and the ominous whine of elevators, fears of the bogey-man can become very real indeed.

Using familiar scents cannot stop the fears entirely but the essential oils do help in an as yet unexplained way to calm children at night, and perhaps their effectiveness is due to the theory of associations. If you use something like the lovely aroma of geranium when you arrive to make the room yours by putting a few drops around the place, bathe in geranium yourself and, more importantly, give the children a geranium bath before bed, you'll be surprised how easily they settle down for the night in the pleasantly fresh room that smells just like home. You also can use diluted essential oils in a roll-on glass bottle on the bottom of the feet or even on the body to give a nice massage to your baby or child to settle them after bath before going to bed. There is nothing more comforting then Mum or Dad reading or telling a bed time story while massaging with a relaxing essential oil blend.
When you are aware that doTerra 100% pure essential oils can be used in this way, to comfort the child through the sense of smell, use the oil you intend to take away with you around the home and in the child's bath for a few days before your departure.
Here I included three simple oils blends that you can prepare before leaving for your holiday and take with you in a roll-on glass bottle. It makes it very easy to apply, even kids can apply on their own feet! These blends work on babies, children and adults, young and old and has many benefits besides their relaxing effects.
