86: A Day in My Life With Essential Oils
How do you use Essential Oils each day? What oils do YOU use? HOW do you use them? Today is the episode to answer ALL these questions!
In this Episode I’m sharing:
Resources
You’ll start off with 1-2 Essential Oils, and then once you feel more confident, will begin to add more into your daily life, and it will become as easy and a smuch as a habit as brushing your teeth!
A Day in My Life with Essential Oils
NOTE: I did NOT start with this routine right away. Just lemon in water at first, then added 1 or 2 new oils every few days. This does NOT have to be your daily routine, but simply mine that works best for my Family. You’ll find the right Essential Oils and the right routine that will work for you and YOUR Family, too!
In the Morning…
*Wake early (4:30-5)-I check in to see how is my energy. This will dictate what I put in my diffuser.
*Peppermint to be invigorated if my energy is lower, Balance to calm if I’m feeling stressed, OnGuard to clean the air or if I’m starting to feel that my immune system is challenged, Citrus Bliss or Elevation if I need to lift my mood
*1-2 drops of Lemon in big glass of water (refill once) to cleanse and detoxify +hydrate after sleeping
*May also rub some oils + doTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) into my feet, Breathe if my respiratory system needs some support, Peppermint to boost my energy, Balance if I’m feeling like I need to calm
+Take Life Long Vitality Pack-Multi vitamin + mineral + fish oils all with essential Oils to support the micronutrient needs of the body (LOVE this! ), and is the best selling product that doTERRA makes
*If feeling run down-I’ll take a Veggie Capsule with oils to help stimulate my immune system: 1-2 drops each of Frankincense, OnGuard, Oregano, and Lemon (I’ll take 1-3 per day, depending on how by body responds after the first one)
*My Boys before daycare to protect their immune system: OnGuard on their feet, maybe Breathe if their respiratory system needs some help, and Lavender for Kai with occasional skin irritations he gets on his cheeks
*Diffuse throughout the day at home + my chiro office-usually uplifting oils (Peppermint + Lemon, Elevation, Citrus Bliss) or Cleansing Blends (OnGuard, Purify+Wild Orange is great!)
Everyone who walk in our office says: OMG, it smells AMAZING In here-what is that smell?
Throuhout the Day…
Water, water, water! GREAT way to take oils internally, flavor your water (you will drink more water this way….easily!)
Slim and Sassy (metabolic blend-feel a real surge of energy, even in the gym with this one!), Lemon, Grapefruit, Peppermint, Wild Orange
In my Starbucks Chai Latte-OnGuard-OMG! Tastes so good, and for an immune boost
Will choose another 1-2 oils depending, again, on checking in with my body:
Anxious and need to calm: Balance, Lavender
More energy required: Peppermint, Citrus Bliss, Breathe
Enhanced focus and concentration: Peppermint, InTune
Occasional muscle soreness from workouts: Past Tense, Deep Blue
In the Evening…
Life Long Vitality Pack
Boys before bed: Diffuser-Tyson-Breathe + Lemon + Breathe or OnGuard on his feet
Kai-Lavender (cheeks), diffuser: Lavender + Vetiver (for a good night’s sleep) + on his feet
Me: hot bath with Epsom salts- Lavender, Cypress (occasional muscle soreness from gym), 1-2 drops of Balance or Lavender on my pillow
