my journey towards homeopathy {doTERRA Essential Oils}

Hi friends! I have recently become a consultant for doTERRA! As you may be able to tell from the exclamation points, I'm really excited! This is the most excited I've been about something like this since I found this house, and we all know how that turned out -- perfection. Bliss. Meant to be. I'm hoping that my work with doTERRA will be the same, and will provide Bennett and I with some added comfort, financial security and holistic health.

You may be wondering how this came about. Actually, if you know me at all, you're probably not wondering. Though it's crazy to think of me selling something, it's not crazy that it's Essential Oils. I have been using EOs (Essential Oils) for about twenty years, but just as fragrance, basically. I don't use many body products at all, but I've always used a EOs for perfume, in my hair, and for burning in a diffuser for home scent, etc. For my entire life, people have always commented that I smell really good. (Saying it like that sounds really braggy, but it's the oils who get credit, so I'm going for it.) People always tell me that my home smells good too. Once I was at the hospital (you may remember this story) and the nurses kept smelling me and telling me that I reminded them of a spa and aromatherapy. (Who doesn't like spas? Who doesn't like aromatherapy?) Since I have had dreads, I have used various essential oils in them.

Up until recently, the only EOs I ever used therapeutically were eucalyptus and lavender (mmmmm...) During cold and flu season I've always kept eucalyptus handy, sometimes putting a few drops in a pot on our wood stove, and then later (when I didn't have a wood stove) in the humidifier. This winter when Bennett and I were both so sick, eucalyptus was the only relief we got. We put it on the soles of our feet and our chests and it allowed us both to breathe (and therefore sleep!) I have always suffered from moon-related headaches and migraines. For years I tried every kind of narcotic and over-the-counter medication and none provide much relief. And now, after years of suffering, I have learned that just a drop of lavender on my temples and the soles of my feet brings me instant comfort. It doesn't always eliminate my headaches completely, but if I use lavender right a the onset, I don't even get them. Just last week, as my monthly migraine was already beginning, I closed the shades and tucked into bed and put oil on my temples and slept. I woke up a few hours later, totally pain-free. I nearly cried, it was so amazing. EOs are amazing.

This winter, we were sick for two months. We tried lots of home remedies, Elderberry Oil, etc., and even eventually had to take antibiotics (both of us). None of it worked so I started looking into EOs and using what I could get my hands on from the local health food store. It's hard to say if those made us better or if they just provided enough comfort and peace of mind that we were able to finally rest and therefore get better. Either way, we did rest and we did get better, and I am hooked. Even at our sickest moments, oils provided us with comfort that otherwise seemed unnatainable. I've just started delving into the world of EOs more deeply. I knew, after the smallest bit of research, that I wanted to sell them (I'm a single mom! I need money!) and that by selling them, I would be able to get my own at a huge discount or free (which I have!) It has been a really good fit for me. I am super hungry to learn everything there is to know about EOs. I've always been a huge believer in them, and in natural healing, but it's something I've just never jumped into completely until now.

I could list a dozen or more things that we have used doTERRA oils for in the past week, but I think I'll save that for another post. Tomorrow I will be going over to my Great Aunt Virginia's home and giving her some oils that will hopefully bring her comfort. She is getting up there in age, is sickly, and is having trouble breathing. I plan on taking some oils to her, giving her a foot soak, and applying some breathing oils to her feet. I am praying that it works. The idea of being able to bring comfort to her makes me incredibly excited and honored.

I have put together some information for any of you that may be interested in joining my team and selling essential oils. Just shoot me an email (shrayshree@gmail.com) or Facebook message me, and I can send it your way.

If you aren't interested in selling oils, but you are ready to take your health into your own hands, consider giving essential oils a try. Cold and flu season is the time of year that so many people load their bodies up with expensive and harmful over-the-counter medications that merely treat symptoms. If you are interested in treating problems and experiencing healthy and natural relief from what ails you, I cannot stress enough how powerful and life-changing essential oils can be. Now is the time to find out! If you would like to purchase oils through me, you can visit this link! If you would like to discuss oils further or sample some, get in touch with me! I want to thank those of you who have already supported me by purchasing oils. I am really excited to see where this goes!

Love to you each...
