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!

On Guard! ...

So I hate bugs and mosquitoes!  And ticks!!!  Have been trying to find something that would keep them away from me when I'm out and about.

I decided to try my On Guard (a doTerra Essential Oil Blend) the other day when I went to feed our calves, and it worked!!!  Usually there are dear flies, flies, mosquitoes, ants, and all kinds of other pesky things that find me and bite, but this time I came back in with no bumps or stings, or itchies of any kind!  :)  Got my husband to try it out and it worked for him too :)  Now I'm loving the out and about stuff!

I just applied a drop to my wrists and ankles and was pest free.....mydoterra.com to get your own!  It's a great price and all natural.  It has many uses (other than bug repellant):  you can use it to clean, you can brush your teeth with it, it keeps away harmful bacteria, etc.  Love this stuff!!

Psoriasis

after one week

 Ok!!!  I wasn't going to write about this until I had finished my whole

bottle of Helichrysum, but I just can't wait :)  I have had really bad psoriasis for years now, especially so on my legs.  I have tried all kinds of creams and potions from doctors, home remedies that are disgusting, and all kinds of aloe vera, banana peels, etc.!  Thankfully I decided to try Helichrysum from doTerra Essential Oils!  My husband cannot believe the difference in just one week!  Click here to find out how to order Helichrysum for yourself!  If you have any questions, I'd love to try to answer them for you, and if I can't I'll definitely find the answer!

Arthritis....

This past weekend we had James' grandparents and some of the cousins come to visit.  It was a great time!

While they were here, I introduced them to doTerra oils.  We talked about all the things that they do, I showed them my Modern Essentials book that describes each oil and we looked up ailments that Grammy wanted to find help for...

Popper has arthritis in his left ankle, and Grammy wanted to know what oils I had for that.  Of course, I pulled out my trusty Deep Blue and Frankincense oils!  I put one drop of each on his ankle and had him rub it in.

The next morning as I was making pancakes for breakfast, I saw him go over to the Modern Essentials book and begin looking through it.  He called Grammy over and said, "I really can't believe how much those oils helped!  It's not hurting!"

Needless to say, they signed up that day :)  Now Grammy and Popper are thinking of others who might benefit from using doTerra oils!  Click here to see how to order them for yourself!

Deep Blue....

So my husband, James, works on a ranch.  Riding horses, branding calves, and doing lots of fencing, among other things....  Last Friday as he was riding his horse and gathering some cows, one of the cows got away and he and his horse went chasing it.  They went down a steep hill and at the bottom of it the horse turned sharply.  AM (the horse) went one way and James went flying off the other way.  Before he could roll out of the way AM stepped on his ankle!

James came home swollen and bruised, his ankle and back hurting pretty badly.  We were leaving for a camp that evening and by the time we arrived in Denver, he could hardly move without groaning!

I had my oils with me, of course, so before he went to sleep I put Deep Blue, Lavender, and Frankincense oils on both his ankle and his back.  On Sunday morning, he awoke PAIN FREE!  The swelling had gone most of the way down, and his back was great.

Before this James wasn't a very big believer in the oils, but that morning he became one! :)
