Success with Essential Oils Show #002

November 2018

Empowering you to create success on your own terms with natural solutions for every stage of your life.

 

Hi I'm Marjo Tinlin and I'm Sarah L Cook and we're the hosts of the Success with Essential Oils Show. We're here to empower you to create success on your own terms with natural solutions for every stage of your life.

 

Our podcast officially launches on January 2, 2019 but we wanted to share some of our favorite natural solutions and oil tips over these next months to help you wrap up 2018 with health, wealth, and joyful memories.

 

Since it's November now, we want to talk a little today about how to best support your digestive system and gut health, going into the season where we eat a lot! We have some special products as well as some ways to use those and some recipes that incorporate these products. Our digestive system also contains a huge portion of our immune system so good gut health leads to stronger immune response so it's SUPER important to support your digestive system not just at the holidays but all the time.

 

Sarah, tell us about some of the ways we can help support good gut health this holiday season.

 

Doterra has some amazing products that help support our digestive system. Some you take when you need it, some you take everyday and some you take on a cleansing cycle.

 

So it supports whatever your needs are at the time.

 

For example, DigestZen, which comes in several forms, supports occasional tummy upset or a stomachache. You can take a drop of the oil in water, rub the oil on your belly or use the roller ball that's already diluted with Fractionated Coconut oil (that's great for kids), or you can take the capsules which happen to be 10% off this month.

 

My kids love DigestZen - the second they have tummy issues, they ask me for some to put on their bellies and they take a capsule or two to help settle that rumbly tummy down.

DigestZen oil is available in the Family Essentials Kit and the Home Essentials Kit and it contains a proprietary blend of oils including Ginger, Fennel, and Coriander,  Peppermint, Tarragon, Anise, and Caraway.

Another great benefit of DigestZen is it helps ease motion sickness so if you're doing a road trip to visit family during the holidays, it works for that too!

 

Absolutely! So another digestive product that works great is our Terrazyme. This is a a great supplement for Thanksgiving because it supports your belly if you over do it with processed foods, or heavy foods (like we eat during the holidays). You can also take Terrazyme as a daily supplement. The suggested guideline is to take 1-3 with each meal as needed. I personally take one each time I eat food.

 

What makes Terrazyme special?

 

It actually contains 10 whole food enzymes that help aid digestion. It also helps you if you have a lactose intolerance but don't want to avoid foods someone else made during your holiday meal.

 

You can take Terrazyme every day right?

 

You can - if you have a diet full of whole foods, lots of greens and not much fast food, you may only need one a day. If you tend to eat more processed foods or a lot of fast food, you might want to take more like 3 a day to help. Or if you want to aid your digestive system you can do what I do and take one with each meal.

 

Thank you - so my husband and I use two additional products during the month as an ongoing cleanse. They are the GX Assist and the PB Assist supplements. We start on the first of the month taking the GX for 10 days and then we switch to PB Assist for 10 days. It really helps keep our systems healthy and things "moving" so to speak!

 

Awesome protocol! So those products are available in the Cleanse & Restore kit from doterra. It also includes the Terrazyme and the LifeLong Vitality vitamins, among other things.

 

So there's one last product that works SO well for digestion and it's an age-old product that's been used for a very long time - peppermint!

 

People have been drinking peppermint tea to help with tummy issues for a very long time. And we thought we could include a couple of recipes here that use peppermint.

 

Yeah - peppermint is so fantastic. It supports healthy digestion and can also help wake you up if you are on a long car ride or if you are drowsy after your big Thanksgiving meal. You can put a drop on your hand and breathe it in or you can rub it on the back of your  neck.

 

I love taking 2-3 of the peppermint beadlets when I'm driving the 600 miles to my hometown to help wake up when I get tired of driving. You could also put this in a car diffuser if you have one of those as well. Or use it for fresh breath after the big meal too!

 

The Doterra site has some really great peppermint recipes including a black bean peppermint brownie recipe that we will put in the show notes which is a little healthier and the black beans make the brownies very rich and delicious. I also found a great recipe for gluten-free peppermint meltaways that we can also put in the show notes.

 

One of the best parts of the holiday are traditions and I know you have a special recipe you wanted to share, right?

 

Yes! I love making this Cranberry Salsa for my family at Thanksgiving! Cranberry recipes are not always that great, but this one is a crowd-pleaser. It's made with cranberries, cilantro, jalepeno cumin, coconut sugar, green onions and more!

Well, that's all for today's show. We hope you've enjoyed these great ideas and please check out the show notes for even more information and other ideas.
