Setting out on the Essential Oil Journey

I feel great, Gene and I have been Ibuprofen free for almost a month! I sleep through the night... Sam is drinking Lemon water (a natural detoxifier) instead of Soda (a very unnatural toxin). Spencer is treating his ADD with an oil blend that he loves - No more Ibuprofen, Sudafed, TUMS, Prevacid...and hoping to say goodbye to Ritalin for good! So far, so good. AND....it smells good too!

My Beginners Daily Protocol:
AM:   1 drop Frankincense, 1 drop Peppermint applied to feet; 2-3 drops "Slim and Sassy" (an oil blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon) in water or capsule form
- 1 drop Lemon, Peppermint, or Wild Orange in water, throughout the day.
("Slim and Sassy" blend in water throughout the day)

PM: Before bed, Lavender on feet (1-2 drops) or on temples - I like the smell.
Oil Blend (of laurel leaf, peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon and ravensara ) "Breathe" on feet or in diffuser at the bedside. 

Headache: Peppermint behind ear, Lavender on the temple (1 drop of each)
Sinus Congestion : Oil Blend "Breathe"

I have so much to learn, and I am having fun learning the science of the oils - it really is fascinating! 

These are all DoTerra Oils only - They are CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade). I wouldn't recommend ingesting oil that are not Certified Pure. DoTerra oils are Therapeutic Grade, as many oils from various companies are. They are Certified Pure by third party testing - and that is why I am trusting them.
