Oils For Life
WHERE DO ESSENTIAL OILS FIT IN YOUR LIFESTYLE?
Do you ever feel like you’re wading through endless options for natural remedies, wondering what’s right for you? I’ve been there too, and that’s why I’m here—to show you how essential oils are a unique addition to your wellness regime, and to make this journey simpler, easier, and maybe even a little more fun!
Building health from the ground up
Take a look at this Health Pyramid. It illustrates how true wellness is built from the ground up, starting with a solid foundation of healthy lifestyle habits. Essential oils have a role to play in supporting each level of this pyramid—from daily nutrition and optimal body metabolism, to stress management and improving sleep quality, to reducing the synthetic/ toxic load of the modern world on your body. The only level where oils may not directly apply is proactive medical care, which may become necessary when health has become derailed. But wouldn’t it be better to invest in natural support at each level, potentially reducing the need for medical intervention at the higher levels? By maintaining these habits, you’re giving yourself the best chance of long-term well-being.
The importance of Lifespan AND Healthspan
The graph here illustrates how lifespans have changed over time. The grey curve represents how people used to live shorter lives, with a steady decline in health leading to earlier death. With advancements in the medical industry, this curve has shifted, extending our lifespans through treatments that often focus on managing symptoms in the later years of life. However, this doesn't always mean a higher quality of life during those extra years. The orange line, representing the use of essential oils and a proactive approach to wellness, shows how a focus on natural health can maintain a higher quality of life over a longer period. This means more years of feeling healthy, vibrant and enjoying life to the full, rather than just living longer.
Essential oils offer a natural way to support this goal of life in your years, not just years in your life. By using essential oils proactively throughout your life you can support a range of functions, from better sleep and stress management to bolstering the immune system and soothing minor discomforts. This holistic approach helps maintain physical, emotional, and mental well-being, potentially reducing reliance on medications as you age. Unlike many pharmaceuticals that often address symptoms after they arise, essential oils work to promote balance and resilience in the body from the start. This means that the last years of life can be less full of aches and pains, and more fulfilling, with a greater ability to engage in activities you love and cherish. A well-supported healthspan ultimately translates into not just living longer, but living better.

How do essential oils help sleep?
Sleep is one of the most neglected aspects of our lives, thanks to the busy schedules most of us have today. We forget that during sleep the body is hard at work, repairing and rebuilding itself, boosting immunity and processing the day's events. Insufficient sleep, both short- term and long-term, is associated with memory, cognition and performance problems, not to mention severe health issues. Find out how the world's most pure and powerful essential oils, and especially the Serenity Sleep System, can help you get a good night's rest
How do you use essential oils on children?
As a mom, I always worried about what I was using around my kids. Finding truly pure and effective solutions felt impossible - until I found these oils. Children are smaller and more sensitive to powerful smells than adults so certain safety guidelines and recommendations should be adhered to, but they're simple and easy. From pregnancy to which oils to use around children, plus recipes children will love, from food to play dough, this e-book shows you why dōTERRA is truly the gold standard in essential oils education
Do you know what you are putting on your skin?
Many cosmetic and hygiene products contain potentially harmful ingredients that have never been tested for their effects on the human body. This includes many baby products too. Essential oils don't contain synthetic fillers or toxins and can effectively cleanse, nurture and soothe both skin and body. Essential oils are also used in dōTERRA's deodorants, skincare, haircare and oral hygiene products, giving them the edge over commercially produced synthetic products. There is a big difference in the results of products of a health and wellness company vs those of a pharmaceutical company. Even "natural" products from a pharmacy can and do contain synthetics/parabens/phthalates - the word "natural" does not exclude the addition of these. All dōTERRA products are free of all these nasties - I have a video "How to clear the skin from the inside out" on my YouTube channel that lifts the lid on behind the scenes in the cosmetic industry.
