Meet Dr. Jeff Styba
Introduction to Essential Oils as the first thing I used once I was injured.
Dr. Jeff talks about what Essential Oils really are. Plants are processed and the oil extracted. In the oils are compounds that create healing in the body. He gave examples with Frankincense and Wintergreen. Oregano is a "relaxing" oil but considered a hot oil so use a carrier oil on the skin. See below for more information.
Essential oils are so amazing that once in contact with the skin the healing compounds are actually found in our bloodstream within 30 seconds.
I asked Jeff about the safety of Essential Oils. Study after study show that essential oils that are non-adulterated brands are safe to use on the body and even in the body. We spoke about the supplement label on the bottle being one tell tail sign of a quality oil.
How to use Essential Oils
3 drops of an oil is considered a therapeutic dose
Up to 12 different essential oils can be used at once safely
Mechanistic use is the use of essential oils to fix a current health issue Use the oils every 4 hours until the health issue is handled
Vitalistic use is the use of essential oils to maintain or continue to build health
Use the oils once per day
Topically the oils can be rubbed directly in to the skin. Some people are sensitive to oils so the use of a carrier oil to allow the full contact and potency of the oils as well as for protection can be done.
Fractionated coconut oil is the best choice and should be used in a 1:1 ratio (Example. 1 drop of essential oil for 1 drop of coconut oil)
Roller bottles can also be made by placing drops in a roller bottle and filling with carrier oil.
Rubbing Essential Oils on the feet can be of great benefit as the pores are the largest. This is great for essential oil use for children and babies.
Orally the same essential oils for the body can be combined in a veggie capsule.
I personally buy the "00" size capsules for this purpose.
Dr. Jeff and I spoke about examples of essential oils for pain management. See resource links for recipes for pain.
We also spoke about oils like Lavender and Melissa for stress as essential oils have a great affect on our emotional side.
Finally, we talked about rest and sleep. Dr. Jeff instructed us to use diffusers to atomize the essential oils in to the air. Lavender, Wood oils (from trees), Root oils, Vetiver are examples he gave us that we could put in our diffusers in our bedrooms and around the house to help us relax and sleep.
We spoke about the absolute importance of using only quality essential oils. Here is the link to the essential oils brand that I use in my home and office and recommend to everyone. Dr. Jeff was very clear on symptoms not improving in any way with cheap oils.
Please reach out if you need advice on ordering and help understanding more about which oils to buy.

Here is the recipe I used in my roller bottle
20 drops wintergreen
20 drops balance (blend offered by DoTerra)
10 drops eucalyptus
5 drops frankincense
5 drops black pepper
2 oz. fractionated coconut oil
Put the oils in the roller bottle first (can be bought on amazon) then the coconut oil
I also did the following combined in a veggie capsule every 4 hours.
3 drops Frankincense
3 drops Oregano
3 drops Lavender
I applied DoTerra pain and inflammation blend Deep Blue (comes in a rub which I recommend) on my back over the area of the disc problem every 4 hours (but only when skin was room temp) and 3 drops of Oregano on the bottom of my feet also every 4 hours.
Finally, this is not medical advice. If you have more concerns please consult your doctor.
