Essential Oils and Brain Development

2011-08-25T08:08:00.000-06:00

When my friend's son Jade was born, his left brain was not developed,
and as he grew, the back of the left side of his head sank in. He
began having seizures at 9 months, and was very much an infant in
behavior and ability for a long time. I approached his mother about
using oils, and she really was not very interested.

Months later, (April 2008) I was approached by another dear friend,
who insisted that I try again to get oils to Jade. This good person
had known the family for years and felt a debt of gratitude to them. I
did try again, and fail again. For some reason, she did not want to
pursue it. By now, Jade was just over two years old and beginning to
army crawl. The doctors were "cautiously optimistic"; they expected
his cognitive development was close to complete. I was still thinking
and praying about him and for him, working out some kind of solution.

In August 2008, I received a dinner invitation from a friend and
client who had a friend (we'll call him Gene) coming in from another
town. "For some reason", they said, we needed to meet. During our
casual conversation, we found several common interests, including a
passion for healing (he is a doctor) and myofascial release skills.
Our host had injured himself and asked for my attention. While I was
tending to our friend's injury, Gene was curious about my oils and we
discussed them briefly. I mentioned the little boy and asked if he
would meet with me and Jade's family. He agreed.

The next morning we met together and I worked on Jade while Gene
explained what I was doing. He recommended that I continue working
with Jade on a regular basis, and left for his home. Jade's mother was
excited to have me work on her boy, especially now that a doctor had
recommended it. I went to their home weekly and began teaching this
family how to apply oils as I worked on him. Jade's mother continued
to have him monitored through her already established medical program.
She applied oils on the days I did not come to work on Jade, and as
needed. We discussed Dave Stirling's little girl and how her body was
overcoming seizures using Frankincense oil. We watched the back of
Jade's head round back out within the first two weeks (Balance applied
daily to the brainstem and misaligned areas). I applied Frankincense
to his head and feet, Balance to head, feet and spine, Serenity to his
heart and around his neck. He soon got to the point of choosing his
own additional oils of the day out of my bag. As the majority of the
tension was released from his body, we watched him learn to crawl and
stand without support. Our sessions began to include massage,
especially his thighs, because of his increased activity. The end of
September, physical and occupational therapists were called in to work
with Jade, and he was learning about one new word a week. By November,
at two and a half years old, he was walking. We rejoiced at his
progress, laughing and crying at each new antic. His doctors were
baffled. He had not seized in months. He began running. In January,
before we could start one of our sessions, he had to sing the Barney
"I Love You" song and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (with all the actions). His
other therapists said the work with the oils made all of their
progress with him possible.

There have been challenges for Jade. He did begin seizing again. This
could have been due to habit formed in the brain, reverted back to
because of such huge advances in such a short time. We are still
learning about the brain, and the causes of seizures are still
somewhat of a mystery. Frankincense, Balance and Serenity have been
tremendous tools for him and his family. I honor Jade's mother for her
diligence with him, and for supporting his growth. I watched her
wrestle with him in church as he went quickly from a passive
2-year-old infant to an active toddler. She has had to make huge
shifts in her beliefs about him. I honor doTERRA, for the amazing pure
oil offering we have here. And I honor those dear good friends, Emily
and Korey Wright, for setting me to this task and urging me forward to
work with our mutual little friend, and helping provide oils for Jade
out of their own pocket. It has been a witness to me of the intent of
this company, to help people and bless lives. I'm grateful for the
doctor, who showed up when he was needed to get us in the door. Yes,
he enrolled with doTERRA. How could he try our oils and not enroll?

For those who do not know Jade and his story, he appears to be a
normal, healthy 3-year-old. The rest of us marvel at him, at who he is
becoming. We don't know what challenges await, but his story has been
rewritten due to our essential oils. Thank you, doTERRA. There are
many people looking for answers, and we have answers in our oils when
we push forward in our resolve.

Essential Oils and Your Hearing

2011-07-13T09:12:00.000-06:00

This training with Dr Sue Lawton was fantastic! We have had many requests for the hearing protocol she shared with us. She has graciously given permission for us to post it for you here. So first, a little background on how the ear works:
The human ear has 3 main sections, which consist of the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Sound waves enter your outer ear and travel through your ear canal to the middle ear. The ear canal channels the waves to your eardrum, a thin, sensitive membrane stretched tightly over the entrance to your middle ear. The waves cause your eardrum to vibrate. It passes these vibrations on to the hammer, one of 3 tiny bones in your ear. The hammer vibrating causes the anvil, the small bone touching the hammer, to vibrate. The anvil passes these vibrations on to the stirrup, another small bone which touches the anvil. From the stirrup, the vibrations pass into the inner ear. The stirrup touches a liquid filled sack and the vibrations pass into the cochlea, which is shaped like a shell. Inside the cochlea, there are hundreds of special cells attached to nerve fibers, which can transmit information to the brain. The brain processes the information from the ear and lets us distringuish between different types of sounds.
The oils can help with hearing loss by absorbing into the ear and canal and breaking down buildup, reducing inflammation, soothing the tissues and eliminating scar tissue, and stimulating nerve function, among other things. There is a lot of science in what we do with essential oils, but you don't have to understand it all for it to work. The head movements in the technique are to massage the ear canal and parts of the ear to get things moving again.
Protocol:
Remove all jewelry from around the neck. Standing behind the client... Have them lift their left hand palm upward. (They will hold the oils you are using in this raised palm.) State your heartfelt intent to assist them.
Use middle and ring fingers of both hands to dip into the oils. (Using the ring fingers means using less physical strength.)
1. Balance and Serenity: 2 drops of each into palm. Apply in front of ear, behind ear on the bone, and finish slightly below ear. Dip and apply 3 times or until oil is absorbed.
2. Helichrysum: 3 drops. Apply on inner rim, lobe, behind ear and down Eustachean tubes.
3. Wh ite Fir, Lavender: 2 drops of each. Apply to the seat of the ear, inner rim behind ear, down Eustachean tubes, ending in circles.
4. Geranium: 3 drops. Gently work into all parts behind and rim.
5. Have client rub hands together and inhale.
A. With middle fingers covering each ear opening (thumbs on top of head and finger along Eustachean tubes) have person nod "yes" 10 times.
B. Have person shake head "no" 10 times.
C. "Look at Sky" and bring head back to center forward.
D. Take fingers out of ears, and just covering the opening with your thumbs, have client move head down towards each shoulder 10 times gently, first right then left.
After treatment, person should relax for several minutes prior to standing. Purify oil blend can be used after Geranium in person who has experienced abuse.

Essential Oils and Your Nervous System

2011-05-09T19:50:00.000-06:00

When you look at the many issues that start by damage to the nervous system, you will recognize that Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s or ALS, sciatica, migraines and even dementia and more fit into this category. We all know people who are suffering with these challenges, and are looking for answers here.

The nervous system is very complex, affecting every system in the body. But it is also very logical and responsive to the essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated nutrition from plants, and our bodies recognize them and use them in the healing process. Their molecules are very, very small, and they are designed to penetrate through the cell and stimulate healing. They are proven to be adaptogenic, recognizing the body’s needs and bringing balance. They are also proven to be selective, nurturing healthy cells and good bacteria and eliminating sick cells, bad bacteria, heavy metals and other toxicity. The only big requirement is that we use the oils frequently and drink a lot of good, clean water every day to flush these negative things out of the body. If you have questions about what is a lot of water, send us an email or get with the person who sent you to this information.

In addition to drinking water, there is a huge need to eliminate soda pop, especially diet soda, from our daily routine. The action of the carbonation in the body actually attacks the nervous system, the sweeteners in the drinks wreak havoc on the pancreas and other organs, and the body’s cry for hydration gets weaker and weaker the more soda is consumed. Research shows that Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) did not exist before the invention of soda pop. Sad but true. Also, dangerous to our health are refined sugar and white flour.

The program of action that has been consistently effective for all types of nervous system challenges is as follows:
Lifelong Vitality Pack: These nutrition-dense supplements provide everything that is needed to get all of the systems up and running effectively. They clean up free radicals, provide nutrition for heart, brain and digestive function, support all of the organs and provide the body with stimulant-free energy that keeps you going all day. I would not be without them. They can be purchased at an additional discount through doTERRA’s Loyalty Rewards Program.
Frankincense: This powerful essential oil, a gift for kings throughout time, is proven to enter the cell with the image of the perfect blueprint and correct damage to the DNA. Thus, Frankincense helps the body to eliminate scars, wrinkles and other damage. A powerful anti-inflammatory oil, we have used this one successfully to rid the body of cancers, dementia, genetic abnormalities, infections and more. It is especially valuable when working with the nervous system. A few drops under the tongue 2-3 times daily can make a difference with brain and nerve function, and overall health. Look up Frankincense in your reference book or online at www.everythingdoterra.com and prepare to be amazed at its proven uses in the body, including its effects as an antidepressant.
Balance: This essential oil blend contains Frankincense, among other oils which together help create balance in the body, the nervous and electrical systems, and in the blood. See the blood slides at www.builddoterra.com for yourself! It is amazing to see how quickly we respond to essential oils! I love to apply this blend to the back of my neck and the bottoms of my feet daily to help me handle stress more effectively, and adding Balance to any essential oils application makes everything work better.
Lavender or the Serenity blend: Soothing and calming are important to helping heal nervous system challenges. When the nerves are frazzled, they don’t respond, kind of like an electrical wire that is damaged and shoots out random spurts of energy, or a damaged phone line that sounds crackly and loud. The nervous system sends out messages all throughout the body, and when it is damaged, the messages are not sent or received properly, and often include power surges. We all know what bad communications do to our lives. Apply Lavender or Serenity anywhere on the body, add them to bathwater or massage oil, or apply them directly to bedding before bedtime.
Bergamot: Protects the cells, reduces inflammation and more. There is some really fun science on Bergamot oil at www.PubMed.com, if you are interested in how it works. The recent study done on a group of rats in Italy shows that Bergamot stops the chemical binding which causes permanent brain injuries.
Melissa: One of the most powerful antiviral oils out there (remember that essential oils can enter the cells, which is where viruses hang out?), Melissa has been proven to eliminate viruses like the herpes virus, and we have used it many times to kill dangerous pathogens. It is also proven to be so effective in protecting the nervous system and lifting mood. A wonderful antidepressant, especially when added to Frankincense.
Lime: Any of the citrus oils are so helpful in restoring and maintaining health, but Lime is unique in its ability to protect nerve and nerve function. Add this one to your drinking water, and apply it to the brain stem or bottoms of the feet.
Patchouli: A recent study with Patchouli involved superoxide, a free-radical which is naturally-occurring in the human body. When superoxide was introduced to a dish full of nervous system cells, there was massive damage done to the cells. In another dish, when superoxide and Patchouli oil were introduced at the same time to nervous system cells, very little, if any, damage was done to the cells. The difference is very obvious. Dr. Hill’s recommendation for using Patchouli is to the little triangle on each side of the base of the skull to get the oil as close to the brain as possible for quickest absorption and protection. As much as most of us use our technology and cell phones today, we should all be using Patchouli.
A monthly cleanse, using GX Assist, PB Assist or PB Assist+, and consuming dietary enzymes (TerraZyme is so effective and scientifically formulated) and the Zendocrine blend and supplement to cleanse and support all of the organs. Research shows that so many of our nervous system challenges are caused and worsened by toxicity in the body. The sooner we can get that toxicity out, the sooner the body can heal.

We won’t discuss it in detail here, but there is also a business opportunity with doTERRA. It is my full-time income, and even though the company is still very young, it already provides for thousands of families’ financial needs. If you are looking for a way to increase or replace your income, you will want to know how much fun it is to be able to do that by helping other people find a quality of life and health and increase their options financially, as well. Building a business is not a requirement of having a wholesale membership, but it is a nice side benefit if you are interested, and it is not hard to do. We are at a time in history when we know more about essential oils than ever before, and people are looking for what we have. We are training teachers. If you would like more information on any of these things, contact the person who sent you to this information or email diamondgrower@gmail.com for help in getting started.
Please bring your friends and join us for the conference calls each week, Monday through Thursday nights at 7 pm Mountain Time. Each week, we discuss a different aspect of what are essential oils and how we use them, and touch on the business. If you are interested in presenting the call as a host, or if you have questions, email Mark at doterraresource@gmail.com and he will get you on the schedule. We have had some fantastic presentations by some great leaders in our team family, and look forward to hearing from you, as well.

Also available: check out the presentations, webinars, audio and video training which can be found at www.builddoterra.com and the wonderful support group and reference material at www.everythingdoterra.com. If you have not yet heard about www.doterrasuccessmap.com, you will want to visit that site and see how easy and rewarding it is to get started creating a successful business helping others create health-filled lives.

We also offer coaching to help you in the creation of your health and your business. Contact your upline leadership support team or email me for more information and the coaching form.

TrimTruffle: Your Recipe for Success! and class outline

2011-03-11T10:15:00.001-07:00

TrimTruffle Recipe for Success serves: all!
Most people enjoy good chocolate. With this recipe, you will teach them how to enjoy guilt-free chocolate!

TrimTruffle Recipe

Centers: 8 oz. (weight) high-quality dark chocolate, grated
1.70 oz. (weight) rice or almond milk (not soy)
0.30 oz. (weight) doTERRA’s TrimShake powder, vanilla or chocolate
Essential oils of choice, 20-25 drops

Coating: 3 oz. high-quality dark chocolate, grated

Toppings: cocoa nibs, shredded unsweetened coconut, finely chopped nuts, etc.

Combine rice milk and TrimShake in a glass bowl and place in a pan of hot water. Whisk over low heat until small bubbles form. Add grated chocolate or chips. Stir with wire whisk until smooth. Divide into several clean dishes, if several flavors are desired from one recipe. Add essential oils and stir well. Cover and place in refrigerator to cool until firm enough to handle.

Cover the bottom of a tray or cookie sheet with kitchen parchment or waxed paper. With the ice cream scoop or small end of the melon baller, scoop uniform (1/2 to 1-inch) balls of truffle center mixture and gently work with fingers until smooth and round. Set balls on tray and set aside or in fridge (if available) to cool.

Melt the 3 oz. grated chocolate in a small-to-medium glass bowl in a pan of warm water until smooth. Put one of the chilled centers into the melted chocolate. With two forks, quickly turn the center until completely coated. Lift the coated center out of the chocolate with one of the forks and let drain for a moment. With the second fork, clean the excess chocolate from the fork holding the center. Gently place the coated center on a clean, covered tray. Repeat with another center. If you are working in a cool room, you may wish to add any sprinkled toppings right away before the coating sets. Otherwise, top them several at a time. Refrigerate or set in freezer when finished.
TIP: For shiny truffles, refrigerate before truffles set at room temperature.

Some essential oils we have used successfully in truffles:
Grapefruit
Lavender-Lemon: for a full batch of truffle centers, I use 10 drops Lavender, 15 drops Lemon
Lemon
Lemongrass
Lime
Wild Orange
Peppermint
Citrus Bliss
Whisper

Teacher’s Key for the Handout:
We use high-quality Belgian-type chocolate instead of less expensive chocolate to get better results (better consistency and better flavor). The waxes and other fillers in cheap chocolate reduce the quality and predictability of your outcome. Check the ingredient list and choose labels with cocoa, cocoa butter and minimal sugar or other natural sweeteners. Avoid labels listing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated ingredients. Good chocolate really requires very few ingredients. Often, adding cream or essential oils to cheap chocolate causes it to separate and become useless. The same can happen with milk chocolate, regardless of the quality, because the milk-fat content becomes too high. Milk chocolate can be used for coating your truffles, if you can keep them cool after dipping, so they don’t melt.

The pan of water or double-boiler method helps keep the temperature of the chocolate lower, preventing scorching and discoloration. Overheated chocolate becomes brittle with white spots, which does not make a very pretty truffle. NOTE: Just as essential oils have to be handled at just the right temperatures and in just the right conditions to get a therapeutic outcome, we handle our chocolate to get a perfect truffle, and add essential oils to make it therapeutic!

This recipe for a firmer truffle was used as a teaching model, for consistent results in warm as well as cool climates. If you desire more texture, add 1-2 teaspoons cocoa nibs, shredded coconut, nuts or dried raspberries. Customize your candies for each person by selecting specific essential oils, if you like. A reference book will be very useful in this selection process.

As long as you focus on keeping things clean and dry, so as not to introduce bacteria or taint the chocolate, this is a fairly easy project. Keep water away from all utensils, away from chocolate, and keep hands dry. Chocolate is oil-based, and if it is contaminated with water, even clean water or vapors, it will discolor and potentially separate the whole batch.

If you choose Lavender-Lemon, use less Lavender than Lemon, as the Lavender can be very overwhelming. Lemon helps mellow the flavor.
Scorching your cream can cause your chocolate to separate and become clumpy.

More recipes and chocolate-making tips can be found in “Therapeutic Chocolates from the Cocoa Cabana” by Louise Hughes. Copies are currently available from the author by contacting grannyhughes@gmail.com.

Assembling the event:
Be sure to have everything, including your intention, set and ready at least 20 minutes before the party is to start. Have tables set up with displays, and be sure you have enough room on your demonstration table/countertop to comfortably navigate and handle your truffle-making process. This class has been very successful cooking show-style, with each phase ready to begin as soon as the phase before it is finished. This method cuts down the amount of time required for the class, and keeps your guest’s attention.

Greet each person at the door, learning something about everyone as you greet them. MAKE THEM FEEL SPECIAL! Having everyone sign in upon arrival gives you additional contacts for your upcoming events, and to share information with.

Wash your hands before you get started. You will find your own way to begin this presentation, but this is one of the ways that I start. Feel free to use it until you find your own.
“There is no doubt that we are a people who love sweets. Americans are also some of the sickest people on the planet, despite our huge advances in medical availability and medical technology. There is a growing trend right now for organic and natural candies, a way to satisfy the desire for sweets in a way that is somewhat better for us. What has not been commonly known until the past several years is that quality of flavoring is even more important than quantity.
Many of the additives in sweets today are found to be cancer- or other ailment-causing. They are loaded with sugars and artificial flavors and colors, feeding candida and inflammation. I choose not to have that in my home. But I learned early on that I could not just eliminate all sweets from my family—there was nearly mutiny when I tried. So we started making and using our own candies, to the children’s delight and to all of our enjoyment. We give healing sweet treats for gifts. We have developed several recipes for working with specific ailments. It is fun and it is far better for us than other alternatives.”
• In short, introduce yourself and give a brief summary of how you got involved with using essential oils. Get started by telling your story (or your sponsor’s—it is okay to use other people’s stories until you have your own. Get busy and get your own stories as soon as you can; we can better communicate that which we truly feel!) If you feel empowered by being able to make your own natural cosmetics, or by any other aspects of using essential oils, share it! Emphasize the importance of CPTG™ essential oils.
• Begin the demonstration, giving a brief explanation of each ingredient and each utensil as it is used.
• As you demonstrate, be certain to share the information listed below that will enable the participants to answer the questions on their handouts. Encourage everyone to write the answers to the questions on the handout as you speak. (TIP: Even with as many times as I have done this, I keep my own copy of the handout close to remind me of the points to cover, and to keep me on track. While teaching and fielding questions, it is possible to get distracted, and you wish to appear as professional and organized as you can.) The questions on the handout are provided to make sure some basic points are covered, so your guests can go home feeling confident in what they’ve learned. (If you have time, pass around oils as you do this, allowing everyone the opportunity to get some on them.) If you have a basic understanding of oils, share bits of it as you go. “Lemongrass in a truffle for someone with cholesterol issues, lymphatic issues, arthritis, etc. Lavender-Lemon or wild Orange to relax, break down fats, work with the lymphatics, etc.”
Information to share while demonstrating:
1. We use high-quality Belgian-type chocolate instead of less expensive chocolate to get better results (better consistency and better flavor). The waxes and other fillers in cheap chocolate reduce the quality and predictability of your outcome. Check the ingredient list and choose labels with cocoa, cocoa butter and minimal sugar or other natural sweeteners. Avoid labels listing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated ingredients.

Milk chocolate can be used for coating your truffles, if you can keep them cool after dipping, so they don’t melt.
2. Using the TrimShake allows us to create truffles without dairy products or other potentially allergy-causing ingredients. It provides additional protein without additional fat, and tastes great!
3. The pan of water or double-boiler method helps keep the temperature of the chocolate lower, preventing scorching and discoloration. Overheated chocolate becomes brittle with white spots, which does not make a very pretty truffle. NOTE: Just as essential oils have to be handled at just the right temperatures and in just the right conditions to get a therapeutic outcome, we handle our chocolate to get a perfect truffle, and add essential oils to make it therapeutic!

7. More recipes and chocolate-making tips can be found in “Therapeutic Chocolates from the Cocoa Cabana” by Louise Hughes. Copies are currently available from the author by contacting grannyhughes@gmail.com. You will love the Honey-Thyme or Honey-Basil Truffles, as well as the Southwest Truffles.
• Mention that anyone who would like more oils training may get with you afterward and you will get them started. (If they express interest now, chances are they are ready to learn now. Do not let their excitement get cold, or they may go looking for someone else with less than accurate information to teach them.)
• If the participants are interested in a particular oil or the Lifelong Wellness Trio for a chronic condition, inform them of the Autoship program and the potential there for receiving free oils. Encourage them to get started on their Autoship commitment, spending a minimum of 100 PV monthly and purchasing two of each bottle at a time—one to open and one to store.
• When opening time up for questions, I have often seen this time turn into “What have you tried for…” If you have time, go for it, but you may wish to schedule a Dr. Mom event another time. This would be a great time to ask for hostesses for that event.
• If you are sending people home with samples of the truffles, encourage them to contact you with any questions or tips with making more at home, or with the oils. Once you have made a few batches of truffles, you will feel confident about teaching it well.
• I spend a few minutes on the business opportunity with dōTERRA:
1. the benefits of the oils and purchasing them at the wholesale cost
2. the benefits of the training opportunities available through dōTERRA, and the ability to go from an essential oils amateur to being confident and having a strong support network company-wide
3. the opportunity to be paid weekly for our efforts and being able to see how our work affects other people (Shawna Winn says “My paycheck goes up every time I help someone!”)
4. the opportunity to do what I love and do it from home!
• Don’t forget to collect feedback forms and hold your drawing, if you are having one!
• Close the event with an invitation to stay after with any questions, or for anyone with a desire to host the next event. Thank everyone for taking time out to attend this event—they each contributed to the event’s success, just by being present.
• Be sure to follow up with those who had questions or expressed an interest in any aspect of the event. Remember the key question “What intrigued you most about what you saw (heard, felt, smelled, experienced)?”
• If you are using a hostess program for your events, remember to get the guest list for your next event and get special invitations out to the guests. (Often, students will begin building their guest lists aloud, during the event. Ask them to write down any names that come to them.) Check on your hostess regularly (but don’t be a nuisance) to see how you can help her make her event a success. Give her added confidence in herself, and credibility for her to those she invites, and everyone will win.
• If you are not using a hostess program, be sure to invite everyone who attended this event, and ask them to bring a friend. You may offer special incentives or extra chances at the drawing prize for each friend they bring with them.

Have fun with this!

There is an old proverb that says “He who chases fantasy has poverty waiting for him.” Recognize that every really great thing requires effort. Be willing to invest effort in yourself, look beyond today and make your dream come true.

Action moves us, creating a new reality better than any fantasy. Some actions to take:
* Talk to everyone you can. Send them to the websites, events, collect their information and pass it on to your support team to teach you how to teach them. Where you are, there is a moment to share: at the ballgame, at kids’ playgroup. Don’t be obnoxious, but share.
* Increasing your knowledge and skill set increases your marketplace pay value. Use your Path to Abundance training manual (in your Virtual Office’s Business Tools section). Commit to read a new business/health book monthly. Attend every dōTERRA training you can.

Who we know is as important as what we know. With any new venture, who you know, who you notify (or don’t notify), can make or break you. Sometimes, people fail in their business from the very start because they are afraid of offending someone by being open about it. This is one of the reasons your Why must be clear from the start. This is also one of the reasons that it is critical for you to communicate with your support team. Having experienced leaders to lean on also adds to your credibility with your contacts. Let us help you.

Why do I want to succeed with my dōTERRA business?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Who is my support team? How do I contact them?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Who you know is among your assets. There are several ways to go about making your list, but you can save yourself a lot of time by doing the following exercise from the book “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. See the reverse of this page and follow directions to get started.

On the left-hand side of the paper, start a column of the people you know. Family, friends, people you associate with in any way. Next to each person, write the name of the person who introduced you. With the exception of immediate family, you will likely end up with a chain of names, but continue the process until you reach your Connector. For many of us, our circle of friends proves to be a triangle, which in actuality belongs to our Connectors. Your Connectors will be the quickest people for you to share the essential oils and/or business with first. Have fun with this! You may also find the Creating a Craze kit from dōTERRA a helpful tool when approaching your Connectors.
Maybe your Connectors (or someone else on your list) have no interest in essential oils, health or healing the finances. Be mindful that you have something of tremendous value to share, offering it to anyone they know who is interested. Some great connections are made like this.

Life experiences are powerful in providing perspective and creating common ground. See how the experiences and interests you have from your lifetime allow you insight into other people’s interests and help you to build on someone else’s strengths. To their advantage, not their exploitation. Count them also among your assets. In finding common ground, you will establish lifelong friendships. Become comfortable with making a new friend every day! You will see how something like a neck injury or miscarriage blesses you, as you relate to others. You will also see your skills increasing in many areas as you incorporate the essential oils into things you already enjoy. Essential oils benefit every occupation, and the tattoo artist is going to see results (reduced client nervousness, irritation and inflammation, speed healing), as will the dentist, attorney, producer of skincare products, bodyworker and health food store owner. See the reverse of this page for ideas, think outside the box, and be prepared to be a resource for your clients.

Getting Started: Essential Oils 101

2011-02-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are concentrated, distilled plant fluids. They function in the plant much like our own blood and lymphatic fluids, as the defense against disease and predators, the plant’s hormone system, stimulating growth and providing nutrition. Our bodies recognize and use essential oils as food, absorbing them through the skin and other tissues. They can be used aromatically, topically, and in doTERRA®’s case, internally. Because of the profound quality difference with dōTERRA essential oils, we work more and more with the medical community, offering essential oils in an ever-growing number of hospitals and medical institutions, spas, counseling and treatment centers, and more.

What is the dōTERRA difference?

dōTERRA is the only company currently providing Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® (CPTG)essential oils. These oils pass through a rigorous testing process to determine their quality and purity, guaranteeing you receive the gentle effectiveness nature intended. You will enjoy seeing and feeling the big results CPTG oils will bring into your life and your business!

More info:
www.builddoterra.com
www.essentialenergyapplied.com

How do I know which oils/products to start with?

The requirement to be a wholesale member/Independent Product Consultant is to purchase the $35 kit. The enrollment kits all include this membership kit.

If you have the financial resources, and are interested in the business, choose the kit that you would like your team members to purchase. For most business-minded people, this is the biggest kit dōTERRA offers; enough oils and products to use and to share/display.

If you have limited resources, and none of the kits fills your needs, list the health issues you wish to address. Search them in the reference book’s ailment section. The oils and products that appear the most often will be the most useful for you right away, and should be on your enrolling order. Place additional items on your autoship and plan them into your finances.

Stumped? We recommend:
Balance, Frankincense, Lifelong Vitality Pack. Powerful nutrition. Use them every day and you will notice a difference in the way you feel overall.
Another starter option is the Family Physician Kit with Slim & Sassy, and add Balance.

I really want to get started, but money is a problem…

There are a lot of options for coming up with the money to get started. They include:
Put together your business plan, create a list of people you know and examine your assets right away. When you see your assets and have a plan, your options expand!
Schedule a party and make it big! We have seen many people earn back more than their investment with the Fast Start Bonus the first week.

Do I have to participate in the autoship program?

Autoship is only required to receive earned bonuses, commissions, and Autoship Rewards. Autoship Rewards increase the longer your autoship is in place, providing credit for free oils.

Fast Start and Power of 3 rely on the autoship program, and are the fastest way for you to start earning a sustainable income.

Maintaining an autoship of 100 PV or more and communicating with your support team shows your commitment to this new lifestyle and helps us best to help you.

We offer education, guidance and support. No one will harass you to make a monthly purchase or build a business if all you want to be is a wholesale buyer.

What easy things can I do to create and grow a profitable dōTERRA business?

1. Get familiar with your Virtual Office, especially “Business Tools”. Download the Path to Abundance Training Manual. Contact your support team. We are here to help, and offer personal coaching and training. Check out the resources at www.builddoterra.com.
2. Understand that we are a family. Regardless of where we are positioned in the dōTERRA family tree, we cooperate with and support everyone in dōTERRA. As diligent we all try to be, you will still meet people who have never met or heard from their upline, who are hungry for information, guidance and support, who need you. And you need them. We all have things to learn and to teach. See these people as your brothers and sisters in this glorious journey of healing the planet, rejoice with them that they found dōTERRA, and you will love the directions you grow.
3. Show respect for the opportunity you have by representing the company with integrity. Never manipulate someone to enroll with you when they were introduced or started out elsewhere in our family. Show great character in this for others as you would wish it to be shown toward you.
4. The most fulfilling careers allow us to serve others. Keep in mind the powerful gift you have to share. The essential oils and products we have in dōTERRA are life-changing. With them, each of us has the power to completely change a dreary future and create possibilities that otherwise would not exist. How can you bless those around you? Find the opportunity around you each day, and you will find yourself getting paid to do the right thing. Be bold and offer dōTERRA to everyone.
5. Always have information with you to share with people. Some ideas:
* A business card
* A sheet of personal/family essential oils stories with your picture and contact info can be a powerful sharing tool!
* Brochures, handouts, CDs or DVDs you purchase or create.
* Samples of essential oils and/or products (see www.essentialenergyapplied.com for sample ideas)
6. “Be a product of the product” simply means that you use the essential oils and products. When you do this, you start your own collection of stories, and people will notice that your health is changing for the best. Keep a “Journal of Miracles” and refer to it often. You will enjoy working with products that work, and people will approach you and ask what you are doing for your health!
7. When you meet people (in the store, at the post office, at a party…) get their contact information and keep in touch with them. Even if they are not interested right now, your association and example will win you contacts that only they can connect you with.
8. We hold events (classes, parties, etc) to share information and offer an oils experience.
* Take advantage of events; spread the word, invite people (or bring them with you), and come prepared to learn.
* You will soon be holding your own weekly or monthly events. Be sure to invite your guests to bring friends with them.
* Be aware of events that are being held. Watch doTERRA’s events calendar, pay attention to emails and other notices you receive, and communicate what you learn with friends and family.
9. Use your life experiences to help you with this business. Incorporate the oils into your existing business or hobby. Offer your skills and experience and watch what happens. Your unique perspective will be very valuable to yourself and the team.
10. Learn all you can. Learn something new about the essential oils and products each day, and you will have learned 6-7 new things each week! Take time to share what you learn, and it will be yours forever!
11. Come to know your personal strengths, and the strengths of your teammates, and call on your upline for help anytime!
12. Use the tools that have been put together by the leaders. You will eventually be putting together tools of your own.

Aromatherapy: Protecting Cognitive and Brain Health

2010-12-30T17:53:00.000-07:00

“We sit on the threshold of important new advances in neuroscience that will yield increased understanding of how the brain functions and of more effective treatments to heal brain disorders and diseases. How the brain behaves in health and disease may well be the most important question in our lifetime.”
--Richard D Broadwell

Recent data shows that approximately 1.7 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries annually. They are the ones who die, are hospitalized, or are treated and released from the emergency room. Toxic chemical exposure and degenerative illness leave more than 5 million other Americans and their families struggling with cognitive issues. Often, problems start out small, progressing into debilitating challenges.

What are signs to watch for and possible treatment options?
Symptoms can include: disturbed sleep, mood swings, emotional outbursts, lack of focus, difficulty concentrating, depression, impaired memory, irritability, headaches, faulty judgment, slowed thinking, excessive sleepiness, personality changes, sudden change in metabolism, loss of balance, loss of vision and other sensory disturbances.

Treatments vary, from surgery (blockage removal, shunts, etc.) to medications to physical therapy. The brain’s complexity increases the difficulty level of the treatment. Despite amazing technological advances, patients are often unsatisfied at the end of their treatment options.

What is the cost?
The cost of brain challenges is in the millions as victims and their caregivers struggle to heal and find resolution. Fending off isolation and desperation emotionally, physically and financially, many incorporate aromatherapy in their treatment plan for relief from symptoms and stress.

What, exactly, is “aromatherapy”?
The therapeutic use of distilled aromatic essential plant compounds (essential oils), has been a medical practice for thousands of years. These natural chemical compounds found in the roots, stems, bark, leaves and flowers of plants provide concentrated healing nutrition to the body. Lipid-soluble, they gently absorb through the skin and into the cells, cross the blood-brain barrier and address issues that cannot be touched using drugs or other methods.

Frankincense, long revered as a holy oil, protects the cells and functions of the body. Among other uses, its antidepressant, anti-inflammatory and calming effects abate symptoms of brain injury or dysfunction, and repair damaged tissues.

Bergamot is another mood-lifting multi-tasker which, when applied to traumatized tissues, prevents brain injury while enhancing brain neurotransmitters.

Pure essential oils are entering homes and medical institutions worldwide as gentle, effective sleep aids and antimicrobials, proven to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. Unlike their synthetic counterparts, they are easy and safe to use, and bring with them no negative side effects and no risks of addiction.

“Aromatherapy” has evolved from “perfumery” to a proven science.

We know more about essential oils today than at any other time in history, as science proves their efficacy in protecting and stimulating repair in the tissues of the body, and the brain.

So what can I do?
* Nutrition is the cornerstone of good health. The purest essential oils and supplements provide the best nutrition for the tissues of your body. Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils guarantee the gentle, safe and effective results nature intended.

* A few key essential oils to have on hand for preventative maintenance and emergencies:
Bergamot, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Lime, Balance (blend), Serenity (blend). Use daily; topically, internally and aromatically, to improve brain and body tissue integrity.

* dōTERRA®’s Lifelong Vitality Pack, designed for total body health and cognitive function, provides powerful nutrition vital for health and healing. It includes xEO Mega: omega 3’s and 5’s with essential oils to support brain and heart health.

* Reduce your body’s toxic load by drinking lots of good, clean water and reducing or eliminating processed foods.

* Wear your seatbelt.

* Wear your helmet when riding a bike or horse or playing contact sports. Be sure your children wear helmets. (Wearing a helmet when bicycling reduces brain injury risk by 88%)

* Exercise your mind. Read books, solve puzzles, practice math and logic. Get (and keep) your nerve pathways moving!

Basic Body Cream

2010-11-12T12:43:00.000-07:00

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” --Albert Einstein

For many of us, making lotion or body cream is a curious process, one of the mysteries of the universe. We can empower others to move beyond their limitations, and create healing, safe skincare.

Basic Body Cream Recipe
All measurements are by weight:

Hard oils (solid when cool):
2 ½ oz virgin coconut oil
½ oz cocoa butter or other hard oil
1 oz beeswax pastilles or grated beeswax

Soft oils (liquid when cool):
4 oz almond or other light oil
2 oz olive or other heavy oil

9 oz distilled water

45-90 drops essential oil, as desired

Kitchen scale
Glass measuring cups with pour spouts
(1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup)
Hotplate or stovetop
Rubber bowl scrapers
Chopstick
Stick blender/mixing tool
Clean containers for storing lotion
Wooden craft sticks for stirring

Making creams is so fun and so easy! Just follow the directions!

Wash hands, utensils and surfaces, clearing workspace of contaminants. Weigh hard oil into 2-cup glass measure. Place cup in saucepan with 1-2 inches of hot water, over low to medium heat, and stir with chop stick until melted and clear.

Meanwhile, weigh soft oils into 1-cup glass measure. Weigh distilled water into 4-cup glass measure.

Slowly pour soft oils into melted oils and stir until smooth. Place the cup of distilled water in the hot-water saucepan (if your pan is small, remove the cup of oils first). With a clean finger, check distilled water to be sure it is room temperature.

When oil mixture and distilled water are both lukewarm to room temperature, insert stick blender into distilled water. Process at high speed. Drizzle oil mixture into whirling water. It will sputter and begin to thicken. Scrape oil cup clean and continue to process until oil and water have blended into a thick, creamy semi-liquid with no water floating or beading on top. Depending on room temperature and tools, this may take 5-15 minutes. Hear the cream change (called emulsification), and feel the mixing tool pulling to the bottom of the glass. Let sit a few minutes if there is any question whether or not it is finished. Process longer if water forms on top.

If adding essential oils to the entire batch, do it at this point, stirring well. If not, pour cream into clean, dry jars, as full as possible. Add essential oils to each jar as desired. Cap with tight fitting lids. Prevent introduction of bacteria, and spoilage, by using clean craft sticks to scoop cream out. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 6 months.

Cancer and Essential Oils

2010-10-05T08:03:00.000-06:00

The following information began with Nicole Stevens, MS. The original research was her dissertation on therapeutic-grade essential oils and their response in the body to cancer.
We know that chemotherapy is highly toxic to the cells, and kills the healthy with the sick. According to the research, in a cell count of 100, anything under a healthy cell death rate of 25 is phenomenal. Nicole tested repeatedly and has not yet found a toxicity level, even at extremely high concentrations. Dr. Jaime Matta (Ponce School of Medicine, Ponce, Puerto Rico) found Frankincense to be very effective against even chemotherapy-resistant strains of breast cancer. The National Institute of Health research shows effectiveness against bladder cancer. The publication of this research can be found online, and is very exciting! There are also other oils which are found to be anti-tumoral; some of them also encourage the re-growth of healthy cells. Among them are Sandalwood, Thyme, Lavender, and Clove. Understanding the costliness of pure Frankincense and Sandalwood oils (both require so much time and care to distill and retain their therapeutic action that they are commonly extracted using solvents or not distilled for the full amount of time), it is exciting to learn that other, less expensive oils may be combined with them and actually increase the effectiveness of a cancer treatment. Combined with dōTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality Pack, this is a powerful tool for healing!

This protocol is beginning to be used on a larger scale, by doctors in private practice and in US hospitals at this time. I was taught to combine it with the spinal technique, daily if possible, and lots of good water to drink. We now use the AromaTouch Technique. Instructions are inside the AromaTouch kit from dōTERRA.

PROTOCOL
One 00 capsule Frankincense, One 00 capsule Sandalwood, One 00 capsule Lavender morning and evening for 3 days. Frankincense, Sandalwood and Lavender topically morning and evening for those same 3 days.
One 00 capsule Frankincense, One 00 capsule Sandalwood, One 00 capsule Wild Orange morning and evening for 3 days. Frankincense, Sandalwood and Wild Orange topically morning and evening for those same 3 days.
One 00 capsule Frankincense, One 00 capsule Sandalwood, One 00 capsule Lemon… (Repeat process)
One 00 capsule Frankincense, One 00 capsule Sandalwood, One 00 capsule Thyme… (Repeat process)
One 00 capsule Frankincense, One 00 capsule Sandalwood, One 00 capsule Clove… (Repeat process)
The oils may be rotated as often as necessary.
I am not a doctor, but I do work with doctors whom I trust, and this is what they would do for their family. I have shared this protocol with family members and friends with tremendous success when the need has arisen.

AromaTouch Technique: Balance, Lavender, Melaleuca OnGuard, AromaTouch, Deep Blue, Wild Orange, Peppermint
Spinal Technique: Balance, Oregano, Thyme, AromaTouch

Pain Formula (if necessary)
White Fir and Frankincense applied topically.

In a capsule for internal consumption: (if necessary for pain)
12 drops Wintergreen
8 drops Vetiver
8 drops Helichrysum

For nerve-type pain, 1/3 00 capsule Vetiver, 1/3 Peppermint, 1/3 Helichrysum topically and internally.

Some may work better for you than others. The trick with any treatment is finding what works best for your biochemically unique system.

Kidney and Gallbladder Cleanse

2010-08-12T12:30:00.000-06:00

As I have been using my Slim & Sassy, and having dropped 12 lbs so far, I have been reflecting on the different aspects of healing and my personal goals. In order to achieve them, this body needs to be cleansed on a regular basis. Science shows that the average person is carrying around 7-10 extra pounds in their colon and intestines. Though I have been using GX and PB Assist each month, I chose to add a kidney and gallbladder cleanse since it has been a few years (and a baby) since the last one, and any buildup in there may eventually slow me down. No time for that!

So why would someone subject themselves to a three-day fast of organic unfiltered apple juice to soften and eliminate stones they have no symptoms of and haven’t been diagnosed with? Why treat a problem which may not even exist? Yes, a very interesting question.

One objective with dōTERRA is to teach people how to make decisions based on informed self-care. Being proactive and preventative with our health involves doing routine maintenance on our bodies, whether we have symptoms of a problem or not. We are taught to change the oil in our car at a certain mileage, not wait till the idiot light tells us there is a problem. When we have the grinding sounds in the engine (or in our bodies), we are really no longer being preventative. We are at that point in crisis mode. Not a fun place to be.

Putting GX Assist and PB Assist on my calendar as a monthly maintenance requirement is like the reminder sticker on the windshield left by the mechanic shop. Time passes; things that are not a top priority slide past their deadlines without being completed. Sometimes I go years between kidney and gallbladder cleanses…

I am not saying you should do this cleanse. It can be grueling. In the past, the sugars in the apple juice left me feeling hungry and a bit shaky (my body doesn’t handle a lot of sugar well). What I am saying is to listen to your body. Understand that it is logical, intelligent and designed to repair itself. But it does require proper nutrition and proper care. Undigested grease and fats can accumulate in the body, including the gallbladder, and cause so many problems. Carbonated and caffeinated beverages can pull minerals from the bones and blood, and leave them to collect in the bladder and kidneys. Our citrus oils can help, especially when we use them every day.

Four days ago, I stopped eating regular food and started drinking only organic unfiltered apple juice. The malic acid in the apple juice will break down kidney stones and soften gallstones. I added my Slim and Sassy, under the tongue as usual, and brushed my teeth as usual with OnGuard, and did not suffer with the sugar shakes. Nor did I feel hungry or deprived. Three days of this, and just before bed last night I drank ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil followed by ½ cup of fresh lemon juice (with a few drops of Lemon Oil for fun). This morning, I can report that those nineteen little gallstones (emerald green and smaller than a garden pea) are no longer in my gallbladder.

One more ounce down, 30 lbs to go!

Other essential oils which are beneficial for kidney function: Grapefruit, Lemon, Wild Orange, Geranium, Frankincense...

2010-08-04T10:20:00.000-06:00

This is a post from www.everythingdoterra.com

There has been some terrific information presented on these subjects, but I have to throw in my 2 cents. I loved what Jessica shared: the things she would do if she could start over. I would have no fear. I would use the oils "as directed", by intuition. That is something I had to learn. Especially with essential oils as powerful and gentle as doTERRA's. A lot of the information that is out there is based on work done with other oils, other quality. Yes, we have some hot oils, but we know how to handle them if they cause discomfort.

I was blessed to work on a cat several years ago who had been in battle with a raccoon. His hip had been displaced until we thought it was broken. His front legs and paws were both hairless and lacerated and a toe was nearly severed. His face and head were mangled and his breathing was shallow. He was filthy. Hanging on to life by a thread and filled with pain and terror. I had read of the dangers of using oils on cats. They metabolize differently, they don't handle oils well, oils can kill them. But by that time, I trusted my essential oils. I went into ER mode with that poor cat, dousing him with (Balance) and (Deep Blue)-- probably 3 drops of each. He got a couple of drops each of Lemongrass and Lavender. He got at least a drop of Oregano divided onto his pads. Yes, all of these were full-strength. We put him on a 2-hour schedule and forced fluids through a syringe down his throat. Four hours from the time this regimen started, that silly cat stretched and put his own hip back in. Two days later he was outside with the other cats. He is still around today, looking and acting like nothing ever happened. I have seen things like this with other pets, and with children as well. I firmly believe that because of the intelligent nature of these oils and their relationship with our body/mind/spirit, they will aid us in our time of need. In the cat's case, he was in very dire need and tolerated, no-- thrived on, what the books say would have killed him.

My point is not to negate all the research or start a fight. The thou shalt nots are important to take note of, because there is still so much we don't know. But because there is so much we don't know, intuition is sooo important. Use common sense, but follow your heart and your gut. Allow yourself the freedom to let each situation be unique, deal with the symptoms for what they are and step away from the fear behind the cautions. If it irritates, dilute it down. Push fluids. Keep the oils out of eyes. If I could go back 13 years and do it with these oils and the fearlessness I have now...

I love doTERRA. When I started using essential oils, there was so little real research. We are light years ahead of that time now as far as learning goes. The resources are coming, and we have this terrific group. We have Dr Hill. We have no need to fear.

Love, Tamalu and Mark

Strep Throat

2010-08-04T09:52:00.000-06:00

This is from a post at www.everythingdoterra.com regarding a question about strep and children. I also use this solution for adults, due to its mildness and effectiveness.

For those who are very sensitive to heat, like small children, we have found a combination of 1 drop Thyme and 2 drops Lavender applied externally (throat and around ears, bottoms of feet) 3-4 times daily has taken a positive strep test to a negative within hours. When I discussed this with Dr Hill, he added along the same lines a combination of 1 drop Oregano and 2 drops Melaleuca applied in the same way with the same frequency. All of these oils are documented effective against strep, but the combinations cut the heat of the hot oils. They can still be diluted if necessary. I also encourage my clients to continue this application for at least 3 days, to eliminate all the nasty pathogens while rebuilding the immune system.

Joint Injury

2010-08-04T09:42:00.001-06:00

This is a post from www.everythingdoterra.com in response to a question of hip damage, recommended for replacement due to "bone-on-bone"

Depending on the severity of the damage, we have had terrific success WITH CONSISTENT APPLICATION with the following oils:
Lemongrass (repair connective tissue, work with lymphatics)
Helichrysum (tissue and nerve repair, pain relief)
Deep Blue (tissue and nerve repair, pain relief)
Balance to the bottoms of the feet or on the neck (balance electrical system and works with the bones, calm nervous system)
Applied topically and with consistency, at least 2-3 times daily, we have seen even bone-on-bone knees and hips repaired. It may take as long as several months, but our bodies are amazing, designed with the ability to repair themselves when given the proper tools. If your friend is willing to give it a go with a positive mind, and allow it to work, it will be an exciting adventure for him!

I heartily agree with your recommendation of the Lifelong Wellness Trio, as the nutrition and inflammation-reducing power in these supplements is so supportive to healing. In addition, these supplements are being found to help balance the fluid inside the cells. which is vital.

Even though we are all different and some methods and treatments work better than others, these oils, this protocol, when combined with our supplements has made a difference for the best for many clients. Other oils (optional) we have tried with it are Lavender (Serenity is awesome!) and Frankincense.

As a massage therapist, I would avoid deep massage to this hip because additional pressure from deep massage directly on any ball-bearing joint can cause additional injury, aggravating the problem. However, light massage to the surrounding area would be very beneficial to circulation and pain relief. Applying a warm compress over the oils will also drive them in, speeding healing. Any energy work that you
can do in addition to the oils increases the flow and speeds things up with all of my clients-- no exceptions. As always, lots of water to drink!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

2010-08-04T09:33:00.000-06:00

This is from a post at www.everythingdoterra.com

When Mark was suffering from CTS, we used Deep Blue and Lemongrass more than anything. Those connective tissues start to inflame and swell, becoming brittle over time. Deep Blue will bring cooling and healing, and Lemongrass's ability to provide the tools to restore strength and elasticity to those tissues is fantastic!

Also feel around in the neck along the spine. If there is swelling or pain along the spine, especially shooting pain, it is highly likely that you are not dealing with carpal tunnel at all, but an undiagnosed neck injury which is causing nerve damage and radiatiating into elbow and wrist. It is imperitive to get the heat out of that spine to prevent any further damage and begin repair. For this, I use Deep Blue, Balance, and the new Past Tense. Stretching exercises for the neck (gentle, gentle) are so helpful, as you will likely find neck movement is limited.

Some of the symptoms of a neck injury include: chronic sinus issues, headaches, sleep apnea, sciatic pain, and gastric distress, among many others. Many of us are walking around with neck injuries and health issues that we just can't get on top of because the pain or symptoms lie elsewhere.

Cerebral Palsy and Essential Oils

2010-08-04T09:20:00.001-06:00

This posting is from www.everythingdoterra.com, in response to a question about using essential oils with Cerebral Palsy in a 2-year-old. This response was given before the formal trainings in AromaTouch Technique, which I would not esitate to use with CP today.

The technique I described for nerve issues was developed for all nerve issues, and our first experiences with it were with CP. (Side effects: increased flexbility, decreased pain, improvements in speech and coordination...) We have also had tremendous results with Parkinson's, MS and neuropathy, among others. It has been a great staple for anything nerve, especially spinal/cerebral. For someone as small as 2, you will want to cut the number of drops used, and I would also use tiny dosages of our supplements, but certainly would not exclude them as they are so powerful in the healing process. I am copying the earlier reply here:

When I was with the other company, I learned a technique in which the recipe was modified specifically for nerve issues. I used it often and with great success. Now that we have these amazing oils, and with a little more modification, the results that we are seeing is even better! You wish to cover as much length of the spine as possible, without going into the nether-regions. It looks like a lot of oil (it is a lot of oil) but has actually been reduced to reflect the concentration of our doTERRA oils. It goes as follows:

Apply Balance to the feet and hold until you feel the energies balance (if you have never done this, it almost feels like a pulse or heartbeat in the feet)
Up the spine, apply: (brush gently in the direction of the pain-- for lumbar pain, brush downward along the spine)
10 drops Frankincense and brush gently with the fingertips
8 drops Myrrh, and brush gently with the fingertips
10 drops White Fir, and brush gently with the fingertips
5 drops Helichrysum, and brush gently with the fingertips
2 drops Peppermint, and brush gently with the fingertips
Apply a few drops of fractionated coconut oil and spend a few minutes on light, free-form massage. Cover with a dry bath towel, then apply a cool, damp towel and cover with the other half of the dry towel. This compress will warm within a few minutes, remain warm for 5-10 minutes, and cool again. Make sure the reciever does not get
uncomfortable. If they say they are too hot or cold, you can remove the wet towel and rub the back down gently to remove the water. This technique can get spendy, but for those who are really serious about leaving the pain behind, I have had clients tell me it allowed them to sleep for the first time in months. To push the healing along, I have repeated this procedure as often as daily with no negative side effects. Let your friend and your common sense guide you, though, because we are all different.

We also have these terrific supplements, and I would not try any deep healing program without them-- they are magnificent!

Side Effects of Using Essential Oils

2010-08-04T09:06:00.000-06:00

This is a posting from www.everythingdoterra.com, in response to the question: Are there any long-term side effects to using essential oils daily?

Great question. I'll stick my neck out and answer this one. From my understanding, and from working with dozens of scientists, medical professionals, bodyworkers and concerned citizens over the years, long term side effects of using essential oils can vary. Overall well-being, increased energy, increased emotional stability and hormonal balance, increased physical mobility, repair and regeneration of damaged or malformed tissues and organs, increased cognitive function, improved vision and bone density... This is turning into a very long answer, and the list could go on forever. It is recommended to use essential oils every day in every way for a reason. The side effects of using oils responsibly, especially long-term, are all good. Long-term use forms the type of habit necessary for proactive, preventative healthcare. It aids the body in cleaning house daily, so the deep cleaning isn't so difficult. My understanding is that if we were consuming enough good water and fresh fruits and vegetables, we would not have a caution even on Oregano. But most of us don't, so we do.

Using common sense is vital. Gaining an understanding of where most of our current research has been generated is good, so we know to take it with a grain or two of salt. It's getting better as the research includes more quality oils. Trust your body and your oils. A great book full of perspective is: Medical Aromatherapy by Kurt Schnaubelt PhD.

Have fun!

Alzheimer's and Injuries

2010-08-03T20:45:00.000-06:00

The following is from a post to www.everythingdoterra.com, in response to a concern for an elderly lady with dementia who had fallen and broken her shoulder.

I sent this response directly to Chris, but feel that maybe it will help someone else. Alzheimer's and other dementia be devastating, and can potentially complicate any condition. Bottom line is love and patience, and our oils can sure help with both of those! Dr Lin's Frankincense and Alzheimer's research will be fascinating to see! I hope everyone is planning to attend Convention 2010!

I would diffuse Lavender or doTERRA's Serenity blend with Frankincense if this was my mother. I would apply Balance, Deep Blue, White Fir, Lavender and Lemongrass to the shoulder. Birch if she has it. I'd let her recognize the pain leaving, and offer Frankincense and Sandalwood for the cognitive issue. I would also add Lemon to her drinking water for the cognitive issue.

One thing that can be absolutely heartbreaking for a family member is to see a loved one frustrated because he/she knows that the brain and memory are not fully functioning. Even though there are moments of total immersion in the past or total forgetfulness, there are also moments of complete clarity, and deep despair knowing that something is wrong and completely out of control. When the bases have been
established, it is so much easier to keep referring back to them "That smells so good; I can feel it helping me", and "Can you feel it working, helping you heal?".

I remember going to trainings for my work position in the Special Care (dementia) Unit in the nursing home, and being taught how to deal with our lovely residents when they were combative or disoriented. The best tool I found there was understanding. It hurt me to learn that they would not know me. One day, however, I had torn one of my contacts, so arrived at work wearing glasses. One of my ladies stopped me right away, asking "Did you get new glasses? I've never seen you wear those before!"

Share your essential oils with her very gently and help her understand what she is feeling and how she can help herself. We have amazing, empowering tools in these oils, and they will change lives.

Agent Orange Exposure and Essential Oils

2010-08-03T20:30:00.000-06:00

The following is from a posting at www.everythingdoterra.com.

I have worked with several men who have suffered from Agent Orange these several decades. What we have found is that consistent application of the doTERRA Deep Blue blend and Frankincense (and you know me, doTERRA'S Balance blend, too!) along with the Lifelong Wellness Pack of nutritional supplements can help rebuild the tissues over those raw nerves and restore function. One of the gentlemen I have worked with is a tradesman in Wyoming and his hands were badly affected by Agent Orange. Can you imagine doing plumbing wearing sheepskin gloves 10 months out of the year because getting a chill on your hands would cause searing pain throughout your body? He received immediate relief from the oils and has improved so much!

It has been my experience that the body wants to be healthy; healthy is the normal state. We simply have to provide the tools (nutritionally) to heal. While we do not diagnose, or claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease, even the FDA agrees that there is a very strong connection between health and nutrition. Check out the research and make your own decision based on complete information. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me and receive your free essential oils reference book.

Protect Your Hair This Summer!

2010-08-03T19:53:00.000-06:00

This handout was created for spas and salons who wished to provide education for their clients to care for their hair. If you would like a copy of the pdf version, email me and I will get it out to you.

Let Us Help You Protect Your Hair This Summer!

*Wearing a scarf, hat or cap protects your hair from the sun. Be sure that it's not so tight as to restrict circulation in your scalp.
*Use a leave-in conditioner with sunscreen in it before you go out if you will be in the sun for a long time without a hat.
*You can put regular sunscreen in your hair. Be sure to use a deep cleansing shampoo (add Lemon Oil) when you get home.
*Leave-in conditioner before using a hair dryer or curling iron protects it.
*Rinsing your hair with cool water after washing closes and protects the hair shaft.
*Staying hydrated is important for healthy hair as well as overall health. Be sure that you are drinking enough water.
*Use a light conditioner daily.
*Use a gentle moisturizing shampoo.
*Decrease absorption of chlorine or salt water into your hair by wetting your hair before swimming.
*Have your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks.
*Contain frizzy hair by braiding, wearing hair up or putting it in a bun.
*Put conditioner on the frizzy areas of your hair and sleep with your hair up or with plastic around your hair to help add moisture to the dry areas of your hair.
*Avoid products containing alcohol or formaldehyde; they will dry out your hair.
*Chlorine is drying and damaging. Wash it out with a gentle, clarifying shampoo as soon as possible.

Long or Curly Hai r Care Tips
*Tight braids or a tight ponytail can cause breakage and/or hair loss.
*Using specially treated bands or scrunchies will prevent breakage of your hair. Limit your use of clips, bows, and untreated bands.
*If you are growing your hair out, you should trim your hair once every 3 months. If not, split ends will cause breakage and your hair will begin to lose it's beauty. To maintain length, a trim once every 6-8 weeks should suffice.
*Use fingers, a pick, or a wide tooth comb to detangle wet hair. Brush before washing to prevent tangles.
*When detangling, work your way from the tips of your hair up to the hair roots. Work on one section at a time and go in a downward direction.
*Be gentle with your hair. Pulling down on your hair too hard will cause breakage.
*Dry hair by blotting the water out of it.
*Use a leave-in conditioner on your hair daily or every other day as needed.

Adding CPTG™ essential oils to your hair strengthens, beautifies and protects!
Basil: Oily hair, promotes growth.
Chamomile: Fine to normal hair, gives golden highlights. Soothing to scalp.
Clary sage: All types of hair, dandruff.
Lavender: Normal hair, itchy scalp, dandruff, and even lice! Soothing to scalp.
Lemon: Oily hair, clarifying, gives golden highlights, dry scalp, dandruff, lice.
Myrrh: Dry hair, dry scalp, dandruff, lice.
Peppermint: Dry hair, promotes hair growth.
Rosemary: Oily hair, dandruff, lice, promotes hair growth.
Melaleuca:Oily hair, dry scalp, dandruff, lice.
Ylang-ylang: Oily hair, dandruff, repairs and prevents split ends.
Whisper: Oily hair, dandruff, split ends.

Essential Oils Tips:
*Peppermint (2 drops per ounce of water) in a spray bottle, sprayed liberally on the hair after a chemical treatment (color or perm) helps remove residual odors from chemicals, tightens the hair shaft and closes the cuticle layer, "setting" the color or perm and making hair smoother and more shiny.
*Add any of the essential oi ls to shampoo (4-6 drops per ounce of shampoo).
*Add any of the essential oils to coconut oil (4-6 drops per ounce of coconut oil) and 2-4 drops smoothed onto the hair before styling.
*Deep condition hair monthly by melting coconut oil and adding 2 drops each Lavender and Ylang Ylang or Whisper. Massage warm oil gently into hair and wrap in a warm, damp towel. Let sit at least an hour before washing out. If you can, wear a shower cap to let it absorb overnight before washing.

Essential Energy Applied is ON THE MOVE AGAIN!

2010-07-03T20:45:00.000-06:00

For the past year, we have really focused in our sharing of essential oils and healing, getting the word out about the fantastic resources that are available to us elsewhere. The websites http://www.builddoterra.com/ and http://www.everythingdoterra.com/ are great places to go for information about essential oils, natural wellness and home-based business. Much of the material I have put together is posted there. However, now you will find it here, as well, and hopefully will be able to do so without a huge search.

For upcoming events and training opportunities, check the events calendars at www.builddoterra.com and www.doterra.com. If you would like me to present or teach a class for you, send me a message with a few dates that will work for you so we can coordinate our calendars.

Any time I can be of service to you, feel free to call on me.

For the "Oils Newbie"

2008-12-10T17:23:00.000-07:00

For the “Oils Newbie”

Remember why you are doing this dōTERRA adventure. Keep your focus on that why,
find ways to serve those around you, and do not let it be about money. When we keep in perspective the most important aspects, like improving the world around us, the less important things can be more of what they really are—details.
Be sure that every piece of paper that leaves your hands has your contact information
(including IPC #) on it. You never know how far your information will travel, and you do not wish the people who are ready for it to be left wondering where to get our amazing oils and products.
Use the provided handouts in your teaching and allow them to be your expert. Add your
contact information to the bottom. Remember to use the Resource handout,
which will also be an expert for you and add to your credibility.
Find a mentor and LEARN from him/her.
Try the Party Plan (does it fit you?), and earn while you learn and have fun!
LISTEN and find a need, then customize your sharing to fit that need.
Have your friends hold a bottle of oil, close their eyes and tell where they feel the oil’s
vibration in their body. You can then teach them how feeling the vibration of the
essential oil in their body will assist them in applying and using the oils. Make sure they have a copy of “216 Ways…” to encourage self-reliant learning.
Ask for permission to apply oils to your friends. Apply it for them (have them sign the
waiver if your state has rules about this), or tell them where you would like them
to apply it (bottom of the feet is an excellent place to start) and teach them what it
is for. Apply one oil or several oils (allowing a minute or so between oils), but
periodically ask them how they feel.
Have small vials on hand to give samples. You can get them at www.AromaTools.com
or www.taj-perfumes.com/bottles.htm. AromaTools also has beautiful essential
oils information cards to go with your samples.
Leave your business card with your tip at restaurants, car repair shops, hairdressers...
“Be a Product of the Product” is cliché but true. People who have not seen me in 10
years are curious about how great I look and feel. People who have just met me are curious when I let them know “I used to struggle with arthritis” or “I used to have a heart condition.” When they see how many children we have and how much joy and energy I have, it presents an opportunity to share the oils and Lifelong Wellness Trio. Give them something to be curious about in a good way.
If you struggle with what to say and how to open a conversation with friends and new
acquaintances, feel free to use the scripts included in this resource. That is what
they are for! And remember, SMILE! This is fun!

Methods of Using Essential Oils Handout

2008-12-10T17:21:00.000-07:00

Methods of Using Essential Oils

Misting/Spritzing
Add essential oils to an 8-oz spray bottle filled with water. Shake periodically as you spray to disperse the essential oils in the water for air freshening, plant care, (Peppermint, OnGuard or Purify are great for ailing or buggy plants!), and sanitizing door knobs, telephones, toilet seats, etc. Try Lavender in a spritzer bottle for freshening bedding or a relaxing bedtime spritz. This is an inexpensive way to get the oils into your home. Some oils may dissolve the spray pump in your spray bottle over time. We keep several spray bottles on hand as replacements.

Diffusion
Hydrosonic diffusers – the dōTERRA exclusive lily leaf diffuser is designed to put out the maximum amount of benefit from the essential oils. It consists of a non-reactive plastic well, which is filled with filtered water using the provided measuring cup, and 4-10 drops of essential oil are added to the water. A timer in the cord which turns the diffuser off after 30 minutes. A small metal disc at the bottom of the well vibrates at 16,000 vibrations per second, blending the oil and water together and breaking them both down into smaller molecules which add moisture to the air and send the oils out to cleanse the air and surfaces. Lights in the face of the diffuser make it helpful as a nightlight. Great for respiratory issues and creating a calming atmosphere. Pros: Because it uses no heat, the oil’s therapeutic value goes directly to your environment. The mechanics of this diffuser mean that oil thickness is not an issue, and the oils are not directly exposed to light and air, preserving the integrity of the essential oil. Silent operation means so much when running this diffuser at night or during presentations. The most effective and cost-effective dispersion method for essential oils. Cons: More costly initially than some other methods, but worth it!
Nebulizing cold-air diffusers – available in different styles and colors to match your home, this diffuser is designed to put out a large quantity of essential oil. It consists of a non-reactive metal base, a glass nebulizer, and an air pump (like an aquarium pump) connected by a length of plastic tubing. The oils are poured into a well in the base, and the pump pushes them up and out of the nebulizer in a mist. We recommend setting this diffuser on a timer. Pros: Because it uses no heat, the oil’s therapeutic value goes directly to your environment. A very effective method of diffusing oils. Also available from www.AromaTools.com, a carrying case to protect your diffuser when traveling. Cons: Needs to be kept away from high traffic areas and small children (we have replaced many nebulizers). Thicker oils do not go through this diffuser easily, so need to be diluted with thin oils for diffusing. The well is exposed to light and air, so care has to be taken to preserve the integrity of the essential oils during diffusion. Requires regular cleaning with rubbing alcohol to prevent tacky oil buildup. The nebulizer gives this diffuser the appearance of drug paraphernalia. Expensive, due to the initial cost of the diffuser, and the higher volume of oil this diffuser consumes.
Aromatic Mist diffusers – you have probably seen these in stores. They range in look from elegant to retro, and in heights from 7” (table) to 35” (floor). Doubling as a humidifier, it has a bowl which you fill with distilled water. Pros: it looks great, and the fountain sounds which come from it can be very relaxing. Cons: Our small children were fascinated by it, and tended to play in the mist and even drink the water! Those who have small children and wish to have one of these diffusers, we recommend a hanging model. This diffuser does require distilled water to prevent buildup, and the oils are added to the bowl, exposing them to light and air during diffusion.
Battery-operated diffusers – a cold-air diffuser. The oils are poured onto a small pad, which is placed inside the diffuser. Pros: made of plastic, this diffuser is very durable and versatile. It comes with its own power adaptor, so it can be used virtually anywhere. Cons: it comes with a few starter pads, but requires additional pads over time, an additional maintenance cost. (We change out the oils that we use for different purposes, Lemon or OnGuard for sanitizing, then Serenity or Elevation…) Less effective than dōTERRA’s hydrosonic diffuser, but not a bad, inexpensive alternative.
Aromatherapy Plug-In diffuser – same concept as Glade Plug-Ins.
Car diffuser – small diffuser with pads, plugs into your car diffuser.
Terra cotta pendants – hang around the neck or on your car’s rear-view mirror.
The hydrosonic diffuser is available from dōTERRA, while the other diffusers and accessories are available through www.AromaTools.com.

Vaporizers/Humidifiers
Adding essential oils to these machines is a very effective way of dispersing essential oils into the environment. However, be mindful that some oils and blends may deteriorate your machines. If you have a very elaborate or expensive machine, this may not be the best choice for you. Consider one of the other diffusion methods in addition to your humidifier.

Massage
Any massage method can be enhanced tremendously using Certified Pure Therapeutic GradeTM essential oils! We have addressed many types of issues: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, using the essential oils with massage. Any of these methods are actually a form of communication: a trained facilitator (or even an amateur with good tools—reference materials and the proper oils) will be able to locate problem areas that may show up in the skin, muscles, joints, etc., and be able to help you through whatever the problem is. Always go with your feelings when choosing a facilitator. Some of our favorite methods:
Full-body massage, deep-tissue or otherwise! Dilute with fractionated coconut or other pure vegetable oil for larger areas. Using this method and the charts in your reference book, you can target and address problem areas.
Spinal treatments, Cranio-sacral, and accupressure—some of our favorites! These techniques are relaxing, and we have found them to be useful for a broad spectrum of problems. Add a foot- or full-body massage for a real treat!
Cranial massage – We have had tremendous results for stress, sinus problems, migraines, and more!
VitaFlex or Reflexology – any part of the body can be the focus of these techniques!

Bathing/Showering
Hippocrates believed that we would all be healthier if we allowed ourselves a good “aromatic bath” and massage every day! Don’t you agree?
Dispersion methods:
Mix several drops in bath gel base or unscented natural soap and add to running water
Mix a few drops in milk and add to bath. Especially great for babies!
Mix several drops in a tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil and add to bath.
Add to Epsom Salts or sea salt for a wonderful scented salt bath that detoxifies, too!
Massage with essential oils before a hot bath or shower! After can also be useful, but this opens your pores and may make your skin more sensitive.
Add essential oils to a washcloth (or essential oils in salt to a soap pouch) and use in the shower.

Other Ideas
Add oils to your drinking water for purification, health benefits and flavor. (Hint: Citrus oils attack fat cells).
Add essential oils to your ice cube tray before freezing. The oils will bind with the freezing water and give great flavor to drinks, or freshen your food disposal.
Pour a box of baking soda into a container with a lid, and add oils to it. Allow this to sit overnight in a cool, dark place, then scatter as a carpet deodorizer, bathroom/kitchen cleaner, etc. Economical, effective, and smells great, too!
Add a few drops of essential oil (Purify or Peppermint to repel spiders, ants, or rodents) to cotton balls and place in your heat vents!
Place a few drops of oil on a Kleenex and suck it up in the vacuum while you are vacuuming. The air is freshened while you clean your floors!
Put a few drops of your favorite oil on cotton balls and place in your drawers and closets!
For economical travel diffusing, 3-4 drops of Lavender, Peppermint, or your favorite, on a Kleenex and stuffed in a car vent with the air on!
Use essential oils in cooking!
Direct application to skin; wound care, etc. (See other handouts, your reference book, or attend a Preparedness Event for more information.)
Inhalation – just open your bottle and take a whiff! (See other handouts or your reference book for more information.)
Internally – for pain relief, to address specific health issues, Europe has been doing this for years! (See other handouts, your reference book, or attend a Dr Mom event for more information.)
We hope these ideas are helpful to get you started with your essential oils! If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, we love to hear from you!

Essential Oils for Relaxation Event

Display:
o Pocket Reference Book, and extras for sale if possible
o “216 Ways to Use Essential Oils”, and extras for sale if possible
o Diffuser, running and in a place visible from the door so passers-by can see it
o Massage tools, optional

Have available:
o Enough copies of the Relaxation handout for everyone to have one
o Enough copies of the Resources handout for everyone to have one
o Enough copies of Methods of Using Essential Oils for everyone to have one.
o Business cards to hand out
o Sign-up sheet near the door—have everyone sign in upon arrival
o dōTERRA applications and price lists
o Essential oils for your guests to smell and try
o Fractionated Coconut Oil, just in case someone gets something in a sensitive area
o Water to drink
o Prizes and tickets, if applicable

Be sure to have everything set up at least 20 minutes before the party is to start. Greet each person at the door, and learn something about everyone as you greet them.

Describe some of the oils and their uses, encouraging everyone to read along. (Pass around oils as you do this, allowing everyone the opportunity to get some on them.) If you have a basic understanding of oils, share bits of it as you go.
I explain that the uses described on the handout are very brief.
Mention that anyone who would like more oils training may get with you afterward and you will get them started. (If they express interest now, chances are they are ready to learn now. Do not let their excitement get cold, or they may go looking for someone else with less than accurate information to teach them.)
Inform them of the Autoship program and the potential there for receiving free oils. Encourage them to get started on their Autoship commitment, spending a minimum of 100 PV monthly and purchasing two of each bottle at a time—one to open and one to store.
When opening time up for questions, I have often seen this time turn into “What have you tried for…” If you have time, go for it, but you may wish to schedule a Dr. Mom event another time. This would be a great time to ask for hostesses for that event.
I spend a few minutes on the business opportunity with dōTERRA:
the benefits of the oils and purchasing them at the wholesale cost
the benefits of the training opportunities available through dōTERRA, and the ability to go from an essential oils amateur to being confident and having a strong support network company-wide
the opportunity to be paid weekly for our efforts and being able to see how our work affects other people (Shawna Winn says “My paycheck goes up every time I help someone!”)
the opportunity to do what I love and do it from home!
Don’t forget to hold your drawing, if you are having one!
Close the event with an invitation to stay after with any questions, or for anyone with a desire to host the next event. Thank everyone for taking time out to attend this event—they each contributed to the event’s success, just by being present.

Be sure to follow up with those who had questions or expressed an interest in any aspect of the event. Remember the key question “What intrigued you most about what you saw (heard, felt, smelled, experienced)?”
If you are using a hostess program for your events, remember to get the guest list for your next event and get special invitations out to the guests. Check on your hostess regularly (but don’t be a nuisance) to see how you can help her make “her” event a success. Give her added confidence in herself, and credibility for her to those she invites, and everyone will win.
If you are not using a hostess program, be sure to invite everyone who attended this event, and ask them to bring a friend. You may offer special incentives or extra chances at the drawing prize for each friend they bring with them.
Essential Oils for Relaxation

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) Properties: Antidepressant, refreshing, relaxing. May help ease nervous tension and stress, balance the emotions, lift the spirit, and foster peace, well-being and hope.

Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) Properties: Promotes consciousness, health, love, peace and a general sense of well-being. Relaxing to the muscles and nerves.

Wild Orange (Citrus sinensis) Properties: Relaxing, sedative effect to the nervous system, encourages a feeling of joy and peace. Works with the lymphatics to assist with fluid retention.

Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) Properties: Antidepressant, antispasmodic, calming and relaxing, may also help with anger and low self-esteem. It brings back the feeling of self-love, confidence, joy and peace.

Citrus Bliss (Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, Clementine, Vanilla Bean Extract) Properties: Joyful and calming to the emotions, calming to the nerves. Antioxidant, reduces inflammation in the tissues.

Serenity (Lavender, Sweet Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Vanilla Bean Extract) Properties: Antidepressant, antispasmodic, calming and relaxing. Antioxidant, reduces inflammation in the tissues.

Whisper (Patchouli, Bergamot, Sandalwood, Rose Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Cinnamon, Cistus Absolute, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang, Cocoa Bean Extract, Vanilla Bean Extract) Properties: Calming to the emotions, balancing to the systems.

Along with these benefits, science is now proving that essential oils can nourish the body, encouraging it to overcome discomfort of all kinds. They conduct oxygen, and and flush toxins from the system, so drinking lots of water is recommended when using essential oils. When diluting them, do it only with pure cold-pressed oils such as fractionated coconut oil. Avoid getting oils in the eyes. oils in the eyes or other sensitive area should be diluted only with pure cold-pressed oil.

Throughout history, essential oils have been utilized by inhalation (smell), direct skin absorption (topical or internal application), and diffusion into the air. These oils are Generally Regarded as Safe by the FDA as dietary supplements, and Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils have amazing potential when applied to the body.

· Make your own bath salts by adding 5-10 drops of essential oils to 1 cup of sea salt or Epsom salts.
· Add 15-20 drops of essential oil to ½ cup pure carrier oil for a great massage or bath oil.
· Two drops of essential oil in the palms, rubbed together and then rubbed on a pillow, makes for a great night’s sleep.
· Rub a few drops of any of the above essential oils on the bottoms of the feet for restful sleep.
· Simply carry your oil with you, remove the lids as needed and inhale.

DōTERRA essential oils, diffused through dōTERRA’s ultrasonic diffuser, are broken down into even smaller molecules sent into the air to cleanse and purify the air. Through this method, we can benefit from inhalation of the oils, and microbes in the air and on the surfaces of our home will be eliminated. Another great side benefit: because the molecules are broken down so much smaller, the diffuser does not collect heavy residues, so cleaning is not such a big issue. Some great oils for this purpose are:
Clove (Eugenia carophyllata) Rosemary (Rosminarus officinalis)
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) Sandalwood (Santalum album)
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Frankincense (Boswellia frereana) Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata)
Grapefruit (Citrus paradises) Breathe
Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) Citrus Bliss
Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) Elevation
Lemon (Citrus limon) OnGuard
Lemongrass (Cymbopogan flexuosis) Purify
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) Serenity
Wild Orange (Citrus sinensis) Whisper
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

“No other essential oil has the purity and concentrations like dōTERRA’s. With concentrations like this, you are getting even better cost-effectiveness because you don’t need as much as other “therapeutic” oils.” Nicole Stevens, MS

More Uses For CPTG Essential Oils

2008-12-04T13:08:00.000-07:00

More Uses for CPTG essential oils… from Tamalu Watkins Eucalyptus – Apply to animal bites to cleanse and aid in pain relief.For heat exhaustion or heatstroke, apply 1-4 drops Eucalyptus to forehead, chest or back, and bottoms of the feet.Apply 1 drop of Eucalyptus to an insect bite!Itchy skin and rashes can be alleviated by applying enough Eucalyptus to put a thin layer on the site. Dilute if necessary for large areas.Try inhaling or using a drop on the wrists for jet lag.Massage Eucalyptus onto over-exercised or strained muscles.Add to Lavender or White Fir and apply to sunburn to speed cooling and healing.
White Fir is not in any of the kits, but in my opinion, it should be. doTERRA's White Fir is from Austria, and is such a powerful all-purpose tool. It is useful for burns, cuts and scrapes, overworked muscles, any kind of discomfort. It is anti-inflammatory, and we have used it for headaches, hormone regulation, and to eliminate bruising.
Frankincense is so powerful as an antidepressant. Especially our doTERRA frankincense is a powerful conductor of oxygen and can make even the most resistant person elevated, joyful and lightheaded. We are also seeing some amazing (even for those of us with a great deal of oils experience!) results with Frankincense and nerve damage. Used topically with a compress, or added to Deep Blue, we are seeing a great rate of nerve healing. Adding Frankincense in capsules (2-10 drops, morning and evening) can also speed the process. Lavender – doTERRA’s Lavender is so much gentler than any most of us have ever used. Where I used to teach caution on children's faces, this Lavender has truly become my Swiss Army knife. It does not have strong vapors to sting the eyes, but you still may wish to dilute it close to the eye, as little ones tend to rub their eyes frequently. Deep Blue –In addition to Deep Blue's powerful pain-relieving capabilities, we are seeing this one especially helpful for people with liver problems. Apply directly over the liver and apply a warm compress. Also, try Deep Blue to reduce scarring, and to remove trauma from any wound. Wounds that are festering or resist healing have responded especially well to Deep Blue.
DigestZen – helpful for chronic pain relief. Apply a drop of Frankincense to the pinky finger. With a firm but gentle pressure, massage in a circular motion across the brain stem of the affected person, and back again. Apply a drop of DigestZen to the pinky finger and repeat the process. May need to do this technique several times to obtain lasting results. (You will be seeing techniques like this very soon from Abundant Health Resources!) Elevation – we have seen great success with many skin conditions, including itchy psoriasis and wrinkles, by direct topical application. Dilute with fractionated coconut oil if necessary. OnGuard – this one is very powerful in our clients who are detoxing heavy metals. Apply a drop or two on site or massage on the bottoms of the feet. Heavy metals can show up especially after a massage with essential oils, appearing to be bright to dark red blood blisters, varying in size according to what the body is able to release at the time. We see them most commonly along the spine and in kidneys, but they can show up anywhere heavy metals are stored in the body. We are also finding that individuals with high exposure to fine powders like talc are more readily releasing it with the help of OnGuard. Apply 1-4 drops to a rolled up gauze pad and place in the mouth for amalgam dental fillings. (If your fillings are seeping gases, they release additional gases each time you bite down. These gases rise up and can create or aggravate sinus problems or brain fog.)
We are also seeing a use for OnGuard with warts and skin tags. Apply topically and/or take internally. Dilute if irritation occurs.
Purify – Try Purify to assist with a heavy metal detox! We have rubbed it topically, added to bath salts or inhaled it with tremendous success!

Serenity – this one has become one of our neighborhood favorites. We apply it to our youngest son before church (foot rub before socks and shoes or a drop on the neck and shoulders), and he sleeps on my lap for 3 hours! He wakes up pleasant and rested, and all of us get to attend our meetings! We have used this successfully with insomnia, and with stress headaches. Added to Deep Blue, it worked wonders for calming swelling and inflammation in a neck injury. We have also had exceptional results with autistic children and Serenity. Our 2 1/2-year-old son got his hand slammed in the minivan door. I poured Lavender and White Fir oils on his hand, dripped some Serenity on the top of each foot, and gently rubbed it in while I rocked him on my lap and quietly reminded him that his body could repair any damage. He stopped crying almost immediately, but in less than 5 minutes he was completely relaxed and peaceful. There was no discoloration at all on his little hand, but we continued to apply Lavender and White Fir periodically for a few hours to ensure the fluid from the damaged cells could disperse so there would be no swelling.
On an outing, our son grabbed a handful of stinging nettle. Immediately the painful red rash showed up on his hand. I put a drop each of Lavender, Peppermint and Eucalyptus on this hand and within 10 seconds the pain and redness was entirely gone and he was on his merry way. (How long does Benadryl take?)
TIP: If we use essential oils on our small children and they resist for whatever reason, we have put it in their hand and asked them to take it to someone else ("Your sister needs some of this; would you go put it on her?") By then, the oils have begun to do their job in that child. Another thing we have had success with is giving them their own sharing vial with 3-4 drops of oil in it ("This is your special perfume!") We have yet to see a child refuse it!

Essential Oils Application Waiver/Release Form

2008-12-04T13:05:00.000-07:00

Release Form

NAME__________________________________________________________________ADDRESS______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PHONE________________________________________________________________

I hereby attest to the following:

I understand that this combination of touch and essential oils may be considered a non-secular art and science and may or may not help an individual experience some improvement in their overall well-being.
I have read or discussed “Common Sense Use of Essential Oils” with my facilitator and/or have read/discussed________________________________ and I understand what I have read/discussed.
I understand that though these techniques may be widely used, they are not a replacement for personal medical treatment.
The facilitator has not diagnosed any condition and is not prescribing this as a treatment for any specific condition, but is rather applying ancient techniques that can have varying results.
I understand that human responses to essential oils vary considerably and are not predictable, because of the unique chemistry and makeup of each individual.
I am totally and completely responsible for agreeing to this process and do not hold the facilitator, or anyone else, liable for the results.
I am here on this and any subsequent visit solely on my own behalf to obtain whatever results I can individually receive. I am not a representative for any federal, state, county or local agency.

Signature____________________________________________Date_______________

Common Sense Use of Essential Oils

Pure Essential Oils are the Concentrated (Distilled) Oils of Plants, and as such may irritate delicate tissues such as eyes, mouth, nose, and tissues in other protected areas of the body. Though rare, if irritation ever occurs, the facilitator will dilute essential oils with a pure vegetable oil, such as dōTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil. A good facilitator has been trained in proper use of essential oils, but it is still the responsibility of the client to notify him/her of irritation.
Essential Oils Can Stimulate Detoxification. Applied topically, inhaled, or ingested, science proves that oils have an affinity for toxic materials within the body and can assist the body in disposing for those things. It is imperative that the client be aware of the amount of pure, clean water going in to the body, and be sure that they drink at least half their weight in ounces daily. (Example: Bill weighs 180 lbs, and should drink a minimum of 90 oz of water daily.) If the healing process is accompanied by headache, digestive issues, rash or sinus drainage, the client should increase the amount of water he/she drinks. The client may also decrease the amount of essential oils used, and participate in detoxifying baths.
Essential oils are electrical fluids. They conduct electrical impulses and messages in the plant, and they do so in the body. As electrical fluids, they are effective by themselves, but also commonly used in energy therapies and may be added to virtually any modality. They stimulate the body’s tissues and systems, structural and electrical balance, and facilitate the release of toxins and dis-ease. Essential oils have also long been used to assist in alleviating emotional and mental discomforts.
Many Essential Oils Applications are Most Effectively Performed in Silence. This allows the facilitator to concentrate, paying more attention to their client’s needs and responses, while allowing the client to focus inward on their healing. Often, the facilitator and client will meditate and pray throughout their process, seeking divine guidance from their Source.
The Client is Responsible for His/Her Healing. It is proven scientifically that those individuals who claim responsibility for and make a firm decision to heal, do. The facilitator will use his/her skill in essential oils and energy healing to assist the client in moving forward with his/her own innate power to heal. The client should breathe deeply and relax, and look inward to body, mind and spirit and feel the body healing and correcting itself.
The Client Must Maintain Realistic and Consistent Expectations and Beliefs of Their Health. Going into any healing session with preset unrealistic expectations may actually keep the client from receiving the extent of benefits he/she seeks. By releasing those expectations, focusing on healing, and allowing the process to take its course, the client may see greater benefits. Keep in mind through this session: “I willingly set aside anything I know or think I know which may interfere with my healing, and willingly release any and all emotions that no longer serve me in a positive way.” The client should discuss with the facilitator any questions about this.
Each Individual Participating in Energy Work May Obtain Lasting Healing. Lifestyle (according to studies) makes up 80% of our health. A commitment to improve diet, exercise, and maintain habits and environment which nurture mental and emotional health will give the foundation for continued healing and stability. Science is finding that we can even eliminate the predisposition for disease through maintaining these changes! Consistent and common-sense use of essential oils and energy healing modalities can enhance the individual’s ability to obtain and maintain permanent healing. Actively participating in this process gives a person a chance to make another choice, moving forward in life instead of being tied to yesterday’s poor choices.
Emotional Release Can Sometimes Take Place During This Session. Essential Oils, when inhaled, go straight to the emotional center in the brain, and can stimulate strong feelings or memory recall. Allow what you are feeling and/or witnessing to be part of the healing process, learn from it and let it go. Once completely released, these feelings can no longer harm you. For more understanding of this, study “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die…” by Karol K. Truman. Eliminating these buried feelings, whether through slow and steady energy work or immersing oneself in this area, can lift the spirits and provide a physical and emotional freedom never imagined before. The facilitator will hold a safe, non-judging space for the client and provide a comforting presence as the client works through his/her issues. The client should also be aware that he/she may feel the need to release in a safe private place (in the bath or shower) at a later time. Allow this release to happen (cry your eyes out—let it go!) and be okay with it. Remember, “Better out than in.”
The Client May Not See an Immediate Change in Health from This Session. In most cases, today’s health is a reflection of the choices of a thousand yesterdays. Sometimes, change is profound and obvious. At other times, the healing occurs over time and may be more obvious to others than to the client him/herself. Also, the changes which are triggered by the initial application during a session may take several hours to several days to manifest. The client should pay very careful attention to the conditions of the body, mind and spirit for the next few days. Following each individual’s inner guidance, working together as a team to create a program of action, and being consistent to the plan once it has been created will lay the groundwork for success.
Essential Oils Application and Energy Techniques are not Rocket Science. Anyone can be taught to apply essential oils. Anyone can acquire the skills necessary for success with these techniques. Each individual has the right and privilege of contacting the individual who shared dōTERRA essential oils with them, to receive the most accurate information on the world’s purest, safest and most effective essential oils. Enjoy your process!

My First Aid Kit is a 6-gallon bucket. It has a fabric liner with built-in pockets for storing things like tweezers and hemostats. Even with the severe injuries we have had with our children, I have never had to use any of the several suture kits and splints which are mixed in with my bandages and nose syringe. It looks like an ordinary first aid kit, until you see the PVC bottle of Epsom Salts, the pint of vegetable glycerine, and… what is in the coffee can? Nestled in the center of the bucket, amongst the bandages and the spare roll of toilet paper, is a #10 can. It is filled with essential oils in their bubble wrap. They are protected from breakage, ready for use. (If you come up with a better way to store them, I would love to hear about it.) The #10 can may be used to heat water in a disaster situation.

Be sure to have everything set up at least 20 minutes before the party is to start. Greet each person at the door, and learn something about everyone as you greet them.

You will find your own way to begin this presentation, but this is one of the ways that I start. Feel free to use it until you find your own.
“Years ago, as my friend Tamalu was planning to move to a remote area with her five children, she went to the store and loaded up on meds that the family would surely need. She bought pain relievers of all kinds, ointments and syrups. She spent hundreds of dollars on these “necessities”, and then packed them away in a box for storage. Shortly after moving to their new home, they began having experiences which led her to start making some big decisions about the family’s health, and she did not open that box again for nearly 4 years. She was cleaning out some things and found it quite by accident. By this time, the family’s health care regimen had come to involve primarily essential oils, diet, massage and exercise; it was like a trip back to Mayberry to see the things in that box. Hundreds of dollars of medications, and every one of them expired. You know what they say about expired medications; they are either ineffective or dangerous. Every single one of those dollars went into the trash that day. Now, you may have people tell you that natural wellness is expensive, but I know that those over-the-counter medications were some of the most financially expensive you may ever see.”
At this point, I gesture to the display and continue…
“I have friends who have on their home maintenance calendars the day of the year which they go through their medicine chests and first aid kits and rotate out those things which are nearing their expiration dates. I admire them for being so organized. I am amazed at where they are able to spend their time. I honor their commitment to the health of their families. They are amazing women. I choose not to spend my time doing that, and chances are you would prefer to spend your time in other ways. So how do I avoid rotating out my meds?
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years as medicines. We have been using herbs for wound care and compresses for generations here in our families. Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils from dōTERRA are a few steps beyond herbs. They are concentrated and powerful. Used with common sense, one bottle can last for years when stored away from heat and light. Consider that hundreds of liters of essential oils were found in King Tut’s tomb after 3,000 years, and the essential oils were still viable medicinally…”

I go on to describe some of the oils and their uses, encouraging everyone to read along and laminate their handout for their first aid kit. (Pass around oils as you do this, allowing everyone the opportunity to get some on them.) If you have a basic understanding of oils, share bits of it as you go.
I explain that the uses described on the handout are very brief. One oil may have hundreds of uses, and the more they use the essential oils, the more readily they will think of how to use them in an emergency.
Mention that anyone who would like more oils training may get with you afterward and you will get them started. (If they express interest now, chances are they are ready to learn now. Do not let their excitement get cold, or they may go looking for someone else with less than accurate information to teach them.)
I also always point out that the oils stored in my preparedness kit are new bottles, unopened. An opened bottle has a higher chance of leaking and being susceptible to temperature extremes. Some oils, like the citrus oils, may evaporate out. It would be a catastrophe to believe you were prepared, only to find out in time of need that you have been storing empty bottles. They will not go bad, so store them full and unopened and when you need them they will be there.
If the participants are concerned about the cost of purchasing, say, the Apothecary, let them know that many of us have purchased our Apothecary two or three bottles at a time. Inform them of the Autoship program and the potential there for receiving free oils. Encourage them to get started on their Autoship commitment, spending a minimum of 100 PV monthly and purchasing two of each bottle at a time—one to open and one to store.
When opening time up for questions, I have often seen this time turn into “What have you tried for…” If you have time, go for it, but you may wish to schedule a Dr. Mom event another time. This would be a great time to ask for hostesses for that event.
I spend a few minutes on the business opportunity with dōTERRA:
the benefits of the oils and purchasing them at the wholesale cost
the benefits of the training opportunities available through dōTERRA, and the ability to go from an essential oils amateur to being confident and having a strong support network company-wide
the opportunity to be paid weekly for our efforts and being able to see how our work affects other people (Shawna Winn says “My paycheck goes up every time I help someone!”)
the opportunity to do what I love and do it from home!
Don’t forget to hold your drawing, if you are having one!
Close the event with an invitation to stay after with any questions, or for anyone with a desire to host the next event. Thank everyone for taking time out to attend this event—they each contributed to the event’s success, just by being present.

Be sure to follow up with those who had questions or expressed an interest in any aspect of the event. Remember the key question “What intrigued you most about what you saw (heard, felt, smelled, experienced)?”
If you are using a hostess program for your events, remember to get the guest list for your next event and get special invitations out to the guests. Check on your hostess regularly (but don’t be a nuisance) to see how you can help her make “her” event a success. Give her added confidence in herself, and credibility for her to those she invites, and everyone will win.
If you are not using a hostess program, be sure to invite everyone who attended this event, and ask them to bring a friend. You may offer special incentives or extra chances at the drawing prize for each friend they bring with them.

Other Items to Have In a First Aid Kit (information companion to the list)

Vegetable Glycerine: Useful as a carrier for oils taken orally. A drop or two of Lemon (and a drop
of Oregano for adults) in a spoonful of glycerine can be enough to coax a cough syrup into a
child with a sore throat. It is naturally sweet and will not attack the immune system or become
dangerous over time like a commercial cough syrup will.
Try it with a drop of Lavender and a drop of Fractionated Coconut Oil for cracked and
bleeding skin.

Baking Soda: Used for generations to aid in detoxifying, I keep baking soda for making poultices with
oils (add Purify for bug bites or Lavender, Peppermint and Eucalyptus for toxic rashes, etc.)
Make a paste and spread over the affected area.
In case of a disaster where lungs are affected, try the mustard plaster recipe at the end of this
section. Use common sense on little people and pets.

Epsom Salts: Inexpensive and abundant, these little granules have been used for generations to aid in
swelling and pain, as well as detoxifying. Soak a sprain, strain or bruise in Epsom Salts and
water.

Fractionated Coconut Oil: Dilute your essential oils for massaging a large area or applying to
sensitive skin.

Elaine Riser’s Mustard Plaster: 3 heaping Tbsp dry mustard, 5 heaping Tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp baking
soda, water. Add the water until you have a thick paste. The wetter you get it, the hotter it will be. Spread it on an old rag or between two old T-shirts and wear the T-shirts. Do not apply the mixture directly to the skin. Throw the rags or T-shirts away when finished and rinse the skin.

Applying a Bandage: When bandaging a severe wound, rinse the wound with clean water, if possible.
Drop Lavender, Deep Blue, Melaleuca, or other oils of your choice onto the wound to cleanse,
help with pain and encourage healing. Seal with ointment or Fractionated Coconut Oil and
cover with gauze sponge. Wrap with gauze roll and secure with tape. Final cover with Vet
Wrap to keep clean and protect from further damage. (As we have several children, we have
quite a lot of bandage material in our first aid kit.)

Basic Dr Mom Event Outline and Handout

2008-12-04T12:54:00.001-07:00

Basic Dr Mom Event
Display:
o Pocket Reference Book, and extras for sale if possible
o “216 Ways to Use Essential Oils”, and extras for sale if possible
o Diffuser, running and in a place visible from the door so passers-by can see it
o Pictures of your family, or your hostess’ family

Have available:
o Enough copies of the handouts for everyone to have one
v Dr Mom ailment worksheet – add your contact information to the bottom first!
v Resource handout
v Essential Oils for First Aid
o Business cards to hand out
o Sign-up sheet near the door—have everyone sign in upon arrival
o dōTERRA applications and price lists
o Essential oils for your guests to smell and try
o Fractionated Coconut Oil, just in case someone gets something in a sensitive area
o Water to drink
o Prizes and tickets, if applicable

Be ready with diffuser running at least 20 minutes before your start time.
Greet each person individually and make a point of learning at least one thing about them—MAKE THEM FEEL SPECIAL!
Make copies of the outline and require attendees to write in the answers. They will have additional insights, which can be written on the back if they run out of room. Also, the handout of “Essential Oils for First Aid” can help people understand how those basic 3 oils can be so useful to have on hand; even if those oils are all they have, a variety of issues can be addressed.
Get started by telling your story (or your sponsor’s—it is okay to use other people’s stories until you have your own. Get busy and get your own stories as soon as you can; we can better communicate that which we truly feel!) Explain the importance of being able to deal with our family’s issues as they come up, and how empowering that can be for each of us to not be paralyzed by fear or indecision when faced with a “crisis”.
This event is really fun when kept informal, inviting comments from participants (as long as you can stay fairly on track). Many participants we have seen at this event already have a basic understanding of what they would do in each situation listed. They lack the understanding of essential oils treatment, which you can provide by just reading the answers on this handout. You will probably hear answers like “baking soda bath” (a great detox idea!) and “candle the ears”. Remind your group that they may get some wonderful ideas from one another, and those ideas may be very helpful, but if you happen to have a situation where you are not at home or those other things may be unavailable, you can still have a few oils in your pocket or purse and have solutions. Let them know that there are other oil combinations that may work for them, besides what is listed. These are basic guidelines; the science, clinical and field research continually validates these answers.
As you go through the list and give the answers, mention that anyone who would like more oils training may get with you afterward and you will get them started. (If they express interest now, chances are they are ready to learn now. Do not let their excitement get cold, or they may go looking for someone else with less than accurate information to teach them.)
At some point, mention that our health is built or destroyed one choice at a time. With any ailment, it takes consistency to overcome. Often, we expect a quick fix, but are sabotaging ourselves if we do not allow for a treatment time of a least a couple of days for the body to be able to maintain health after an attack. The positive side of this is that a cold can be worked on consistently for days versus weeks with other methods. Similarly, something more “serious” like allergies, hay fever or diabetes can be consistently worked on for a few months instead of a lifetime.
You have probably heard “If all you have is Lavender in an emergency…” Lavender is a terrific tool, and has been helpful in a multitude of ways. Emphasize this throughout your presentation. Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint…
Inform them of the Autoship program and the potential there for receiving free oils. Encourage them to get started on their Autoship commitment, spending a minimum of 100 PV monthly and purchasing two of each bottle at a time—one to open and one to store. (Point out the terrific supplements now as well, if you like!)
When opening time up for questions, I have often seen this time turn into “What have you tried for…” If you have time, go for it, but you may wish to schedule a more advanced Dr. Mom event another time. This would be a great time to ask for hostesses for that event.
I spend a few minutes on the business opportunity with dōTERRA:
the benefits of the oils and purchasing them at the wholesale cost
the benefits of the training opportunities available through dōTERRA, and the ability to go from an essential oils amateur to being confident and having a strong support network company-wide
the opportunity to be paid weekly for our efforts and being able to see how our work affects other people (Shawna Winn says “My paycheck goes up every time I help someone!”)
the opportunity to do what I love and do it from home (or the park…)!
Don’t forget to hold your drawing, if you are having one!
Close the event with an invitation to stay after with any questions, or for anyone with a desire to host the next event. Thank everyone for taking time out to attend this event—they each contributed to the event’s success, just by being present.

1. headache
2. nosebleed
3. ear infection
4. sinus infection
5. hay fever
6. tonsillitis
7. gingivitis/tooth decay
8. sore throat/colds
9. asthma/bronchitis
10. joint problems/jammed fingers & toes, etc.
11. cuts & bruises
12. stomach ache/flu
13. menstrual cramps
14. insect bites & stings

Answers
1. headache: Deep Blue, Peppermint, or MJ Assist individually. Also try Frankincense, Lavender and Peppermint—apply a drop of each to forehead, temples, and brain stem. Increase water intake.

2. nosebleed: Geranium, Helichrysum, and Lavender are all hemistatic or blood-balancing. Apply one on the forehead and under the nose. A small ice chip may be wrapped in a tissue and placed under the top lip, as well.

3. ear infection: OnGuard, Lemon, Melaleuca or Lavender applied regularly under the ears and on the feet. Dilute if needed. Lavender and Thyme together do not get really hot, and have been very effective for ear infections. Power punch: Balance on the feet.

4. sinus infection: Breathe, Lavender, Melaleuca, or OnGuard individually or a combination of any. Apply to sinus area and/or bottoms of feet. Add Balance to the feet for additional effectiveness.

5. hay fever: Breathe, Serenity, Peppermint and Eucalyptus have all been helpful for alleviating hay fever. Apply one or any combination to sinus, lung and heart areas.

6. tonsillitis: Lemon, Lavender, Melaleuca, or OnGuard individually or in any combination, topically or in throat. Also try Lemon and Oregano (1 drop of each) in a warm water rinse/gargle. You could also show the Melaleuca protocol in “216 Ways…”

7. gingivitis/tooth decay: Add OnGuard to toothpaste or baking soda to clean teeth. Increase water consumption (add Lemon/Citrus Bliss to water!), eliminate refined sugars, increase fresh/raw foods.

8. sore throat/colds: Eucalyptus (dilute and apply topically, especially for sore throat with glandular swelling), Oregano and Lemon (gargle), OnGuard (topically or in gargle or rinse), Melaleuca and Lavender and Myrrh in equal amounts topically or in a rinse. Infant with sore throat, apply to the bottom of the feet.

9. asthma/bronchitis: Breathe, Basil, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, any citrus, Lavender, Peppermint. Basil and Rosemary applied to chest and under nose. Breathe breaks up congestion and opens up airways. Apply topically and/or diffuse. Diffuse Purify.

10. joint problems/jammed fingers & toes, etc.: Balance on damaged joint. Add Lemongrass and Deep Blue. Basil, Marjoram, and Cypress, Serenity, White Fir or Aroma Touch for the tissues around the joint. MJ Assist for pain and inflammation.

11. cuts & bruises: Purify, Lavender, Lemon or Melaleuca to cleanse the tissues. Deep Blue, Lavender, White Fir, Cypress, individually or in combination to speed healing.

12. stomach ache/flu/food poisoning: DigestZen topically, in capsules, or a drop in a glass of water. Peppermint or Lemon for high fever; low-grade fever (99-101 degrees) is an indicator that the immune system is working. MJ Assist or Deep Blue for aches and pains.

13. menstrual cramps: FM Assist. Deep Blue, Geranium, Clary Sage topically, individually or in combination.

14. insect bites & stings: Purify, Lavender, or Eucalyptus.

Note: For babies, Frankincense is a wonder. Applying Frankincense to the feet of even to a brand new baby with a fever has been successful. If you are nervous about this, you can apply the oils to your own hands, rub them together, and then touch or hold your hands close to the baby.

Get started by telling your story (or your sponsor’s—it is okay to use other people’s stories until you have your own. Get busy and get your own stories as soon as you can; we can better communicate that which we truly feel!) Explain the importance of feeling safer in the home without dangerous chemicals which small children have to be kept out of, and how empowering it can be for each of us to not have to rely on chemicals to clean our homes.
This event is really fun when kept informal, inviting comments from participants (as long as you can stay fairly on track). Many participants we have seen at this event already have a basic understanding of some of these cleaning solutions. They simply need reinforcement of the concentrated cleaning power of essential oils, which you can provide by just reading the answers on this handout. Remind your group that they may get some wonderful ideas from one another, and those ideas may be very helpful. The idea is to shift the thinking from Lysol and Windex to safer alternatives. They will have some fun home remedies for you to learn, as well! Let them know that there are other oil combinations that may work for them, besides what is listed. These are basic guidelines; the science, clinical and field research continually validates these answers.
As you go through the list and give the answers, mention that anyone who would like more oils training may get with you afterward and you will get them started. (If they express interest now, chances are they are ready to learn now. Do not let their excitement get cold, or they may go looking for someone else with less than accurate information to teach them.)
At some point, mention that our health is built or destroyed one choice at a time. With any ailment, it takes consistency to overcome. We have seen ailments like fibromyalgia completely eliminated by simply removing the commercial chemical cleaners from the home.
You have probably heard “If all you have is Lavender in an emergency…” Lavender is a terrific tool, and has been helpful in a multitude of ways. Emphasize this throughout your presentation. Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint… They do not have to have all of the oils listed in the handout, although it does us all good to rotate out the scents that we use in our homes. Variety is the spice of life.
Inform them of the Autoship program and the potential there for receiving free oils. Encourage them to get started on their Autoship commitment, spending a minimum of 100 PV monthly and purchasing two of each bottle at a time—one to open and one to store. (Point out the terrific supplements now as well, if you like!)
When opening time up for questions, I have often seen this time turn into “What have you tried for…” If you have time, go for it, but you may wish to schedule another event around one of those topics another time. This would be a great time to ask for hostesses for that event.
I spend a few minutes on the business opportunity with dōTERRA: (The business side of dōTERRA can turn into an event of its own as well. Contact Justin Harrison (justin@teamdoterra.com) or your direct upline if you are interested in more business training for your group.

General Cleaning Tips
The majority of essential oils are antiseptic and bactericides, as well as antiviral and anti-fungal. The following have been chosen for their price and power:
Cassia Eucalyptus Lemon Orange Citrus Bliss blend
Clove Grapefruit Lemongrass Oregano OnGuard blend
Cinnamon Lavender Melaleuca Thyme Purify blend
* Put a few drops of essential oil on your dust cloth, or 10 drops in a spray bottle of water and mist. Shake the bottle from time to time to keep the oils from rising to the top.
For cleaning the air in your home: (diffusing is easier, but misting works, too)
Cypress o Grapefruit o Sandalwood o Citrus Bliss blend
Eucalyptus o Lemon o White Fir o Elevation Blend
Frankincense o Melaleuca o Breathe blend o Purify blend
Lemon, Citrus Bliss, OnGuard or Purify for cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms. Also spray on door handles, telephones, and other surfaces to prevent spreading colds and flu.
Lemon oil has been used to remove black shoe polish from carpets.
Lemon, Wild Orange, or Citrus Bliss work well for polishing furniture.
Lemon, Grapefruit, Wild Orange or Citrus Bliss dissolve gum and grease.
Melaleuca, OnGuard or Purify are very effective on mold and fungus.
Saturate a disposable cloth or tissue with several drops of oil and place it in the collecting bag of your vacuum cleaner.
Create your own safe version of expensive household cleaners by filling a plastic spray bottle with water and a squirt of dishwashing soap. Add 3-5 drops each of Lavender and Lemon (or your choice) essential oils. Shake well, and get to work!
OnGuard Cleaner is a blend of essential oils that has been proven effective against bacteria and viruses, yet is safe for the family and environment.
* For a great carpet freshener, add 20-25 drops of essential oil to 3 cups of baking soda. Cover and let sit 10-12 hours in a cool, dark place. Scatter over carpets and let sit overnight. Vacuum.
* For hard floors, add ¼ cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Add 5-10 drops of a suitable oil. If the floor is especially dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing soap. This will clean and freshen even the dirtiest floor.
* Adding a few drops of essential oil to laundry wash water makes clothes smell fresh and clean.
* For water rings on wooden furniture, apply a drop or two of vegetable oil to a dry cloth and buff.
* For glossy furniture, sprinkle cornstarch on the furniture after polishing and rub to a high gloss. The cornstarch will absorb excess oil and leaves the furniture gleaming and fingerprint-free.
* Hide small scratches on polished wood furniture by rubbing walnut or pecan meat on them.
* Try toothpaste or baking soda and Lemon or OnGuard on crayon on painted walls.
* Apply hand-made lotion to permanent marker on walls or floors, let sit and rub off.
* On a clean cloth, put 2-4 drops essential oil of your choice. Add 1 tsp fractionated coconut oil. Throw into the dryer with wet laundry and let tumble for fresh, static-free clothing with no harmful chemicals!

Insecticides and Repellents:
* Cinnamon, sprinkled around the foundation of the house, keeps some spiders from entering.
* Peppermint or Purify, placed on entryways, prevents ants from entering.
* Place several drops of Lavender, Rosemary, Lemongrass, or Purify on a cotton ball. Hang in storage areas, place in heat vents, or add to your chest of linens to repel moths and spiders.
* Terra Shield can be applied topically, to cotton balls or diffused to keep pests away from your party.
Kitchens and Bathrooms:
* Powdered lemon or orange drink (or citric acid) in the dishwasher cup makes sparkling dishes. It is also great for ceramic sinks, tubs, and toilet bowls.
* Lemon oil added to dishwater adds a cleaning blast, attacks grease, and freshens the air, too!
* Dip washed dishes in a vinegar bath to rinse them clean.
* For baked-on messes, try baking soda.
* Mineral deposits will come off your range-top cookware if you boil vinegar in the pot for 15 minutes. (Pour the vinegar down the drain when finished.)
* Soak dishes and pans with dried egg or milk on them in cold water. Hot water actually cooks the foods onto their containers and makes cleaning them more work.
* Lemon oil or Citrus Bliss removes water spots on sink and bath fixtures and metal frames around sinks, shower doors and enclosures.
* If stains occur on plastic laminated countertops, squeeze fresh lemon juice (or a drop or two of Lemon oil) over them. Allow the juice to soak 45 minutes (10 minutes for the oil). Sprinkle baking soda over the lemon juice and rub with a soft cloth.
* Club soda, poured on the counter and then wiped with a soft cloth, can also clean countertops. Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.
* Shiny-finish countertops will stay shiny if you apply Lemon essential oil about once a week. It cleans and preserves the finish.
* For stainless steel sinks, sprinkle baking soda in the sink and rub with a damp cloth.
* Vinegar is great for removing water spots and attacking gunk buildup. Add a drop of Lemon oil for added strength!
* Baking soda takes stains out of cutting boards and off of cooktops. Add a drop of Cassia oil for additional deodorizing and sanitizing.
* Vinegar or rubbing alcohol on a cloth or in a spray bottle with water will make mirrors, windows and fixtures spot-free and gleaming.
* Grind orange or lemon rinds in your garbage disposal.
* Fill an ice tray with water with 5-10 drops Lemon, Wild Orange, Grapefruit or Citrus Bliss added. Freeze. Put one of these freshening ice cubes down the garbage disposal once a week; they will freshen it and clean the blades, as well!
* NEVER use drain cleaners in your disposal, because they may damage it!
* To keep tiles and shower doors shining, wipe down with Lemon oil or Citrus Bliss, and shine with a soft cloth or paper towels after cleaning.
* For tough-to-clean toilets with mineral deposits, lightly coat the inside of the toilet bowl with baking soda, then spray on vinegar. Let fizz and react for 5-10 minutes, then scrub off.
* Sanitize your toilets by scrubbing with 1-2 drops of Oregano oil. Wear rubber gloves or use a toilet brush, as Oregano oil can be very hot.

Copper and Brass:
* Saturate a sponge or cloth with vinegar or lemon juice, sprinkle salt on the sponge, rub metal. Rinse well and dry.
* Rub metal with a paste made by adding flour to the salt and vinegar or lemon juice. Rinse well and dry.

Super Saturday Business Training Nov 8, 2008

Super Saturday Training

Justin:
When you lean forward and pay attention, you will get more from a presenter.
Any time you are in any kind of event, sit forward, pay attention and give the presenter positive energy, which improves the presentation.

Circle represents our company as a whole.
Divide into 3
1/3 is product (are our products amazing?)
1/3 is compensation model (is it working? We pay weekly, monthly, annually)
The first 2/3 are the same for everyone, but the last 1/3 is variable
YOU and I

Today is not a product training, it is business

Brandon Wood: (was a corporate trainer)
Make today last
you retain 7-10% of what you hear
you retain up to 40% of what you write down
when you re-read your notes, you retain up to 60%.
when you implement what you have learned along with the tools such as CDs and DVDs that we will supply at future seminars—you can only imagine that the retention level will well exceed 60%.
Life is all about choices…
Story-- Jerry the restaurant manager: when he left a restaurant, all the staff would go with him to the next restaurant. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad.
Shot by burglars in his restaurant, chose to live, chose to have his life saved.
Attitude = Perception (lion perceives himself as king of the jungle)
attitude is not how good you are, it is how good people think you are.
your attitude must always be the same
it is not what you say, it is what you do that matters. “If you are not going to hustle, what did you come for?”
attitudes are formed 3-dimensionally through words that form pictures. (Red, Green, Yellow) draw picture of traffic light and ask what is the perception and attititude toward that light.
Pain and failure is usually the friend we have that motivates us and success is usually the factor that leads us to failure.
as humans we do two things:
avoid pain
gain pleasure

Why vs. Fear
Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real
when fear outweighs why – you achieve the minimum of your maximum
what are your “Why’s”
Visually move your “Why” from one pocket to the next. (poker chips with pictures on them, move from right pocket to the left pocket as you act toward your goals during the day.)
Remember to “follow the yellow brick road”, because “The power to succeed is already in us.”
Success
successful people have formed a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don’t like to do…
walk a little faster – do things that have never been done and you have never tried
read, read, and read some more
exercise
relive great moments
fantasize about future experiences.
6. Raise the stakes
7. Make declaratory comments to others (Mohammed Ali)
8. When you fall down, get a new set of clothes, a haircut, or make a change.
9. Imagine impossibilities
10. Perform a selfless act of service
11. watch an inspiring movie or listen to inspiring music
successful people have simply formed a habit of doing something that unsuccessful people don’t or won’t do.
Success blockers
1. Protecting Mr Ego
2. Excusitis
3. Emotional self-debate within oneself
4. Dwelling on the negative
5. Fear—it paralyzes success
6. Growing complacent
7. Being unorganized, mismanaging time
Success enablers
1. Ask “how can I do better?”
2. Take responsibility
3. Learn from those who have achieved #1
4. Read uplifting books
5. Absolute commitment to succeed
6. Do the unexpected
7. Time management
Effective time management
1. set up a separate home office—away from the kitchen table
2. minimize distractions by setting a specific schedule and sticking to it
3. keep your calendar visible and prioritie your tasks
4. keep track of your hours—this is your business—treat it as a business
5. be realistic—determine how many hours you can actually work and stick to that schedule.
6. as for structuring your day or time, you can use the following percentages as a guideline to give you an idea of where you should best be putting your efforts:
a. spend 40% of your time on building your business—generating leads, tweaking marketing… anything that drives contacts and prospects
b. 20% of time converting prospects to sales
c. 10% improving content or marketing material
d. 30% of time “managing” your business—this includes the administrative or financial side of your enterprise, but also people management (set aside 15-20% of money for taxes, etc)
Why dōTERRA?
The future is now
1. you can work this on a part-time basis and make it into a full time business income
2. 3% of the population understand that you need to have a residual income that can be based outside the US. Become a true capitalist and make money while you sleep.
3. you have the tools in the oils that can break into any income level, in any country and hit the base of what all people know is true—overall wellness…
Enrollment:
1. Never leave a new person alone. Never leave a new person to sign up by themselves. You have worked to build a relationship of trust and given them an experience with the product. If you leave them alone, you have a 50/50 chance of obstacles.
2. Go over the application—walk them through this—then go over the auto-ship—10-15 minutes. This teaches
Autoship and training (key to success puzzle)

1. “Autoship saves us time, energy, and, of course—money on essential supplements and products we use all the time! It’s so convenient and saves us the hassle of constantly having to shop for everyday items we use all the time.”
2. Set up autoship for the 5th, 10th, or 15th to avoid mistakes. If there are problems, there is no time on the 20th and 25th to fix issues. If there is a problem with an autoship and it cannot be resolved that month, that person’s autoship is cancelled and they have to start over. Adding autoship problems to the end of the month volume of orders is setting yourself up for trouble.
Training
1. This is what you are here for—the opportunity to put your contacts in front of proven experts for the products, marketing and the success of the company.
2. Always promote the next training
3. Today’s opportunity

Shawna Winn:
When you look back on your tapestry of life, things happen for a reason.
“Women cannot handle the stress of corporate management” was training managers for Tony Roma.
What do you have going on in your life that is so important that you cannot go back to it if this does not work for you.
For things in your life to change, you’ve got to change.
There is something wrong when you cannot take time off to spend it with those you love in a time of need.
There is no better payoff than to go out and find that your paycheck is a direct reflection of how many people you have helped in this world. To make more, you have to help more people.

Two social groups
3% 97%
OPI (Other people’s Ideas) FFF (Friends, Family, Federal Gov’t
Leverage 100% of 1
OPE (Other people’s efforts) OPO (other people’s opinions)
Residual basis, earn money spend time on not earning money
3%’er school = earn while you learn
3% motivators pyramid
10% motivated
60% motivatable
27% unmotivatable, toxic, find negative in everything and will kill downline

how we learn
unconscious – incompetence
conscious – incompetence
conscious – competence
unconscious - competence
(parable of learning to drive a stickshift)
when you first get into the business, you don’t know what you don’t know. Most people fail between conscious-incompetence and conscious-competence.

As you change:
The one who loves you the most will trash you the hardest!
If you never quit, you will become successful!
Don’t try to be the expert!

We have been conditioned to not get out of line, to be an employee.

Testimonials:
Facts tell, stories sell
There is no better salesman than a satisfied customer!
1. keep it to 60-90 seconds
2. state your name
3. where you’re from
4. what your issue was (give details/they need to feel your pain)
5. what products you used
6. how long have you been using them
7. how you were introduced to dōTERRA
8. how it changed your condition
9. give gratitude
Do not inundate people with a bunch of facts. People who say they care about facts, get them the facts, but allow them to feel your pain.

Kathy Scot – Brigham City, kidney infections one capsule full of OnGuard before bed.
Justin Harrison – half a million people lost their jobs over the past 2 months. Left security of salary and in 6 months went to five-figure income and would like to teach others how to do the same. If you are interested, let me know, but if you’re not, that’s okay.
Shawna Winn – the products are great, and they help people to heal, but all I know is that my check goes up every time I help someone else.
Who do you want in your circle of influence. Who do you want to help. Who do you know who is struggling with two jobs trying to make ends meet.
Rachel Nacey – Vernal-- mastitis, Peppermint for fever, Frankincense topically, OnGuard, infection gone within 3 days.
There is no better salesman than a satisfied customer, so everyone deserves a tangible experience with the oils

Key to Your Success
You and your contacts trust each other
They may not respect you as far as an expert goes, but they will respect an expert.
(Teach edification to your people)
Edify the expert, even though you may know what they are teaching.
The better you get at the edification bridge between the contact and expert, the better your business will be.
Edification is so important, and you do it from the heart.
We don’t care about the bad points, we focus on the good points and find out what people’s true talents and abilities are. Respect your expert’s time and teach people to respect your expert’s time.
Prospect may just want a better social life.
Prospecting
red apples get it right away
green apples need some time – find out what they are interested in, not what you are interested in. look at your prospect and ask “so, of what you have seen, what intrigues you the most?”
rotten apples – don’t like it and don’t care (LEAVE THEM ALONE!)
super Saturday trainings in two areas simultaneously

circle of influence
superiors-- people with big egos, ask for their opinion

equals—friends – make them, go get them and drive real fast

inferiors—tell them and they will do it just because you say so

the people you know the best are your warm market. You want to hit them as soon as possible. “Buy these from me for 90 days, if you don’t like them, you never have to buy them from me again.”

What 3-5 people can you talk to in the next 5 days? Massive Action Write your list and write whether they are S, E, or I

We have some of the most amazing tools coming out in the next few months!

The goose story
Next time you see a flock of geese flying, notice that there is one heading the formation. This way, the flock can fly 71% farther than one goose by itself.
Geese take turns leading for the hard jobs
Geese honk to encourage others to keep up their speed. How do you as a leader in your organization “honk” when other members start to fall behind?
ONLY positive information goes down into the team.
Promote the lifelong wellness starter kits, and get them on autoship.
“What products interest you the most? Which enrollment kit best meets your needs?”
it does not matter where they start, but it does matter that they do start. START where you can start, but START.

Nail Health with Conditioning Recipes
Debra Raybern, N.D, M.H., C.N.C., Copyright 2007

Remember when the doctor used to look into your eyes and at your hands when you went in for a check-up? Why? It is because our fingernails are a window into the health of the body. Changes in the look, shape, or color of our finger nails can indicate a nutritional deficiency or disease somewhere in our body long before other symptoms manifest. Though your doctor may not do this anymore, you can use the following guide to evaluate your overall health. Don’t ignore your nails; they can serve as an early warning signal for your health. If you are used to polishing your nails, give them a break, let them breath and take a look at what they are telling you.

Healthy nails are pink indicating a rich blood supply. Nails are made of keratin, a type of protein and sulfur. It takes approximately seven months to fully grow a fingernail, at a rate of about .05 to 1.2 millimeters a week. The following are some of the nutritional deficiencies that can show up in the nails.

· White fingernails with pink coloring near the tips can be a sign of cirrhosis of the liver. If the entire nail is white it could mean kidney or liver disorders or anemia.
· White lines across the nail may also indicate liver disease, while white lines in a horizontal fashion may indicate heart disease, high fever or arsenic poisoning. A half white nail with dark spots on the tip could indicate a kidney disorder.
· If the moon part of the nail area turns red, heart problems are suspect. If the moon area turns blue, then possible heavy metal poisoning or lung problems may exist.
· Two white lines that do not seem to move as the nail grows indicate hypoalbuminemia which is a protein deficiency in the blood.
· Abnormally thick nails might be due to the blood not circulating properly in the vascular system.
· Yellow nails can mean there are problems with your liver, diabetes, respiratory disorders or problems with the lymphatic system.
· Dark nails that are flat and/or thin, or are spoon shaped, can be a sign of vitamin B(12) deficiency.
· Brittle nails are often a sign of iron deficiency and thyroid problems. You could also have impaired kidneys or problems with circulation.
· Nails that are very bendable could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis.
· Pitted brown spots or split fingernail tips may mean you have psoriasis.
· Very deep blue nail beds can indicate pulmonary obstruction or emphysema.
· Nails that crack, peel and chip easily mean a general nutritional deficiency and insufficient hydrochloric acid production which facilitates the digestion and absorption of protein. More protein and minerals may be needed in your diet.
· Thyroid problems can be seen in nails that are brittle, soft, separate from the nail bed, have ridges or like a bumpy road.
· Nails that resemble hammered brass indicate a tendency toward partial or total hair loss.
· Flat nails can indicate Raynaud’s disease. This disease affects the circulatory system, which in turn affects the limbs. It leaves hands and feet continually cold.
· Unusually wide nails that are square can mean a hormonal disorder.
· Red skin at the very bottom of your nail bed could indicate a connective tissue disorder.
· Greenish tints to nails can signify a fungal infection of the nail or a bacterial infection in the body.
· Black splinter like bits under the nails can indicate infectious endocarditis, a serious heart infection. You should seek professional help immediately.
· Lack of B vitamins cause nails to become fragile, especially indicated with ridges.
· Dryness and brittleness together often indicate a lack of Vitamin A and calcium.
· Lack of sufficient gut bacteria can contribute to nail fungal infections.

Many women with not-so lovely nails often have acrylic nails glued on top of their natural nails. This is an extremely bad practice. The glues and acrylics are toxic and can penetrate into the bloodstream; the fake nails cut off oxygen to the nail making it weak and thin; and many a nail fungus had it’s beginning with a manicure or pedicure.
For the sake of your health—let your natural nails grow out and take steps to make them strong and healthy by getting your whole body in balance. Yes, for a while you will have soft nails; keep them cut short and they will improve in a short while.
Excessive exposure to water and detergents or soaps can cause the nails to swell. When they dry, they shrink, which results in loose brittle nails. Rubber gloves should be used when washing the dishes or getting your hands in lots of water.
Herbs that provide the body with nutrients specific for the nails include alfalfa, black cohosh, burdock root, horsetail, oatstraw, dandelion, Gotu kola and yellow dock—all rich in minerals and silica.
Carrier and therapeutic essential oils (DoTerra) that can be applied topically that will nourish the nail include borage, flax, parsley, lemongrass, primrose, pumpkin seed, frankincense, lemon and myrrh. (See recipes at the bottom for more choices).
We have supplements coming that nourish the nails will be coming soon from DoTerra. Here are a couple of simple recipes that nourish the nails

Nail Butter
2 tbls beeswax
2 tbls cocoa butter
3 tbls jojoba oil In place of these two oils you can substitute 4 tbls fractionated coconut oil.
1 tbls grape seed oil
21 drops essential oils—rosemary, geranium and sandalwood—7 drops each.
Combine beeswax, cocoa butter and jojoba oil in a saucepan and warm on low heat in a double-boiler until cocoa butter and beeswax have melted. Remove from heat and add the essential oils. Stir well, let cool slightly and pour into jars. Use a Q-tip swab or orange stick to get a small amount of the cream from the jar. Apply to nails and massage with your fingers.

Quick Nail Growth Oil
10 drops Frankincense
10 drops Lemon
10 drops Myrrh
Combine in a small vial or bottle. Apply with a paint brush to bare nails twice per day.

Other nail health tips:

Oils that soften cuticles: eucalyptus & peppermint
Oils for fungal infections: Melaleuca alternafolia, Oregano, Purify, OnGuard, Thyme
Hangnails are a vitamin & mineral deficiency.

If you are not using DoTerra’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils, we invite you to start now!
Happy Oiling,

The Value of doTERRA

2008-11-04T18:00:00.000-07:00

The Value of doTERRA

We are so grateful to be associated with each of you in your journey and the mission you have with our amazing essential oils. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
We have heard so many powerful stories! Even with years of using essential oils, we are still shaking our heads in wonder at the power of these oils and the level of healing which takes place with their use. So the question is: What is the value of doTERRA?
In the past month, in the Watkins household alone, we have enjoyed experiences with a bike wreck which separated a shoulder and tore ligaments and tendons in the wrist, as well as multiple scrapes. We have seen our youngest son put a knife into his eye. We have dealt with colds/sinus infections. We have appreciated every fleeting moment. "Fleeting" because the boy with the bike wreck was playing volleyball (they needed a server) with his sister and her friends 4 days later. The boy with the knife in his eye was examined a week later and the eye doctor was in awe that even though he could see the knife entry point scar under the lights, there is no damage to the eye. The colds/sinus infections have been gone within hours. Does this have value?
We live in a time today where value is determined largely by the dollar. In another life, we may have taken our boys to the hospital for care of their recent wounds. We may have paid thousands of dollars for initial care, adding more for follow-up and meds. We would have spent time and rearranged schedules to care for our babies, because that is what you do for someone you love. doTERRA has allowed us the freedom and given us the personal power to meet their needs with a parent's love and do it all for about $55. What is the value of that?
Most of us have clients and friends whom we share the oils with regularly. We see miracles like these almost daily. What is the value of that?
We are so grateful for those who have gone before us and done the legwork so that we can have these CPTG essential oils. Grateful for the skills which have been shared for our benefit. Grateful for the kind of courage which makes the kind of change we seek possible. Those of us who have been with this magnificent company for some time have been spoiled by bottles which have been overfilled, giving us added value, by giving us additional resources to share and experience. We live in a time of not unlimited supply. doTERRA is still a baby. doTERRA still has to source and keep a supply of essential oils suitable for our use. This is not an easy task. As our company grows, we may need to adapt. We may see the fill level drop to match the 15 ml or 5 ml printed on the label. This is not a change in values; it is a reality. We may experience wait times when we call Corporate. We may have our product backordered. We may see all kinds of changes and sometimes those changes are not convenient or comfortable. When these things happen, consider the value of what you are getting, what you are waiting for, what you have already received. Consider the growth that has already taken place in this tiny little start-up company.
We have before us an exciting opportunity to be the pioneers, to set the pace and the attitude which will carry energy medicine forward to mainstream. Consider the value of this, think of the possibilities before you, and allow that to cheer your heart and propel you forward. Whether you are an essential oils veteran or this is an entirely new way of life for you, we are on the threshold of change, and you are the only one who can decide to see the potential and step through with a joyful heart, or suspiciously search for cracks in the floor.
Again, thank you for your friendship and trust. Thank you for being a part of our journey, because your testimonies strengthen our own. We are honored to represent a company with the values, mission and integrity which doTERRA embodies. We are grateful to get more than we pay for in every transaction. We love to assist you and are grateful when you call or email.

Love, Mark & Tamalu

doTERRA Compensation, Team Policy

2008-11-04T17:48:00.000-07:00

Subject: dōTERRA Compensation, Team policy
This document will serve as an additional guideline for our dōTERRA team, and may be added to as needed. Thank you for your patience.
Comp Plan:
* The difference between Enroller and Sponsor is hazy for some people. Enroller (the person who signed you up) may choose to place you under a Sponsor. Because we work with the Power of 3 Structure, we are encouraged to build with 3 people on our front line. Those of us who are actively building and sharing are constantly adding people to their groups. Some of us travel long distances and spend a great deal of money in this effort. They may choose to be rewarded financially by leaving themselves as Enroller and placing their new people under another Sponsor. The Fast Start Bonus, paid weekly, follows the line of Enrollers. This way, those who are putting forth time, financial means and effort can be recouped somewhat. We also have the choice to sign up our new people with their new Sponsor as Enroller. We caution: do this only with deep belief in that Sponsor as a teacher and nurturer. Bringing individuals into dōTERRA is not just a numbers game. In many cases we are bringing them into a whole new way of thinking, and everyone deserves a supportive teacher. Enrollers are offered a safety net for their people by having a small degree of control and the opportunity to say "This placement may not work. We can move you within 30 days." Fact is, we "click" with some people, and we don't with others. Some of us have placed people within our organization whom we will never see commissions on, because that is the best placement for those individuals. Some of us have even placed people in other organizations, for the same reason.
* Structure Bonuses are earned when you and each of the 3 people on your front line are setup on 100 PV monthly autoship. As long as your front 3 people have at least a 100 PV autoship that processes this month, and your total volume for yourself and your front line is at least 600 PV (add a 4th person on your front line if this will be a problem), you qualify for a $50 bonus, payable with the monthly commission check. As long as yourself and the front 3 people qualify you for the $50 bonus and each of them are qualified to receive the $50 bonus, you will receive the $250 bonus. The $1,500 structure bonus just takes the same logic one step further. Regardless of whom the Enroller is, those people placed within our groups are our responsibility and benefit us directly. Keeping this in mind will help build the long-term vision needed to build a strong, long-term business. Once the first structure is built and becomes self-supporting by consultants who are properly trained and raised up to the business, by all means start a new structure. Again, AFTER the first structure is strong enough to support itself.
Some of us have been involved in Network Marketing before. Many of us were drawn to dōTERRA simply because of the high quality of the oils. Ask around, and you will find that the vast majority felt something in dōTERRA they have not felt with any other company in the marketplace. There is a spirit of teamwork, of goodness, of joy. There is a powerful feeling of working together for a beautiful cause: to bring the truth of essential oils and natural methods into our medical institutions, allowing everyone the opportunity to have empowered health, regardless of insurance status. Because of our unique building structure and the bonuses attached to it, we are offered the opportunity to get paid well on our efforts, AS LONG AS WE ARE MAKING EFFORTS AND BEING TEACHABLE. Take a good look at why you are involved in dōTERRA. What drew you to this opportunity? Find ways to move forward to create the future you would like to see. Get started on your Massive Duplication Workbook. Contact your upline. "When you are feeling down, call your upline. When you are feeling up, call your downline." If you would like to build your organization by yourself, unaided, we will allow you that. Let us know up front if this is your desire. We enjoy contributing to someone else's good. We work as a team, without conflict, without need for confrontation. The spirit of dōTERRA is cooperative and kind, with the long-term vision of health and wealth for all.
To your success!
Love, Mark & Tamalu
