This week my patience has been sorely tried! I HATE being sick! I woke up last Friday with an itchy throat so took some Oregano (in a capsule cause that stuff BURNS under your tongue), and did my Breathe, Lime, and Rosemary routine. (I put a layer of each on my nose and sinus areas.)
By Friday night, my throat was really hurting and I was coughing like crazy! I used every oil I could think of and it only kept getting worse. (I'm thinking detox here) By Saturday morning, I couldn't swallow without tons of pain, so I knew that it was my tonsillitis/strep throat issue coming back. (I usually get it every year or two around this time for some reason.)
Anyways....looked up Tonsillitis in my trusty Modern Essentials book, and Melaleuca is the recommended oil. I rubbed a couple drops into my throat and within minutes I could swallow almost pain free!!!
I kept taking Oregano (it's a natural anti-biotic) and using the other oils. Soon found out that although Breathe, Lime, and Rosemary did help some with drainage, it did not do for me what Peppermint and Lemon did. I boiled water and poured it into a bowl and added Peppermint oil. The steam did wonders for me! I drank the lemon in water and it helped soothe my throat, while at the same time breaking up all the junk in my chest.
The infection moved to my right eye, so I used Melaleuca underneath the eyes (on the bone) and it's almost gone! In ONE DAY!! I love this stuff! I love not having to pay the Dr. to tell me what I already know is wrong with me and then I love not having to take unnatural products to help me get over the sickness!
A big Thank You to doTerra for making the purest, most effective oils out there available to us!

On Guard is AMAZING!
So, we've been wondering why our pastor and his family have been sick with allergy/sinus-like symptoms so much lately and we finally found the problem! You guessed it! MOLD!! I can't stand the stuff!!
Well, I took my trusty diffuser along with On Guard, Purify, and Breathe to Sarah (my pastor's wife) and told her to use them liberally. (They had done several mold tests in the downstairs where they live and we had found it growing inside walls, under carpet, and in the bathroom area). They started using those oils on Tuesday of last week.
The diffuser was going non-stop with the main oil being On Guard (Sarah used the Breathe for the topical application and Purify with Lemon and Vinegar for cleaning). We moved them out of the downstairs on Wed. So we were able to take out the carpets. The insurance man came on Tuesday of this week and started tearing into walls and doing his mold tests.
What an amazing find! Although the mold is growing in some of the walls and the floors, the air was CLEAN of mold! The ins. man placed the tests directly by the mold growing on several of the walls, but the tests came back negative!
He asked what Sarah had been doing to clear the air of the toxins, and she told him about the diffuser and On Guard :) He said his wife would love it but it sounded like weirdness to him :) I'm loving that once again, On Guard has proven to be so effective!
