Thyroid Issues?

One of my friends in NC (where I grew up) was having thyroid issues and on a prescribed medication.  She wanted to try something natural, so she got hooked up with doTerra.  She used Lemongrass and Myrrh every night on her throat.  She is now off her prescribed meds and doing very well!

I was telling my Mother-in-Law this story, and she decided that she wanted to try doTerra for her thyroid issue.  I asked her some questions (there are different thyroid issues that people have and I wanted to be sure what hers was) and looked up her condition in my trusty Modern Essentials book.  We started her on Clove a few weeks ago, and she's already down to half a pill!   

I love seeing how these oils affect every area of our daily lives, and  how they can bring physical healing to our bodies!

Brown Sugar Scrub

I found this recipe on everythingdoterra.com and LOVE it so wanted to share :)

Brown Sugar Scrub:
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 heaping Tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil (I used Olive Oil because I don't care for the other smell)
3-5 drops of your favorite Essential Oil
 (I used 2-3 drops of Lavender and 2-3 drops of Peppermint and it smells delicious!!)
Mix all ingredients.  To apply, wet skin.  Rub on and scrub away to your heart's content :).  Rinse with warm water and towel dry.  Follow up with your favorite lotion, or use a natural lotion with a drop or two of your favorite oil.  May be used as a full body scrub or just on hands and feet.

Gout be gone!

Loved having my husband's family here for their vacation this past week!  I also loved telling them about doTerra oils!

Dad has had Gout for years!  It started on their honeymoon 27 or so years ago, and flares up all the time.  I introduced him to Lemon Essential Oil the first night they were here.  He was very willing to try it (which surprised me a little), and drank a few drops in a glass of water. 

The next day I asked if it had helped any (that was on Thursday), and he said he thought maybe but wasn't totally sure.  So we kept trying it every night.  On Sunday night, he said that he could see a big difference!

Now, he's looking up things in my Modern Essentials book and asking about other oils :)  Love, love, love making people believers in the oils :)

Have a wonderful day, and may Jesus bless you abundantly!
