Discovering essential oils

I was introduced to doTERRA essential oils last December when I was scheduled to have surgery and determined to do everything in my power NOT to get sick. Some years we get our flu shots and some years we don't. This was one of those years we didn't. One of the worst recorded flu seasons in years. My family usually manages to stay pretty healthy, despite my failed efforts to make them eat their veggies and take their vitamins, but the closer my surgery was getting, the more people around me were getting sick.

While I was browsing Facebook one day, a friend was asking about finding some oils after someone in her house had gotten sick and she was trying to keep it from spreading to everyone else. I offered my go to stomach bug prevention tip (100% grape juice and apple cider vinegar) but I stayed curious about these oils. At this time we started coming down with minor cold symptoms: cough, stuffy/runny nose, sore throats. After messaging my friend, I found out that she had used the oils and everyone in her house managed to avoid getting sick. I was able to get my hands on two products by doTERRA. On Guard essential oil and On Guard protective blend softgels. I began rubbing the oil on my feet every night as well as my children's feet and taking 1-2 softgels every day. By the time my surgery arrived I was well on my way to being over whatever was trying to get me down and my kids never picked up anything that was going around school. I'm not saying that the oil was a "magic cure" or that we will never get sick again, but the more I have learned about them, the more I believe that they are a good natural alternative to a lot of the medications that are out there.

doTERRA essential oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils. They are 100% pure, natural, aromatic compounds which are carefully extracted from plants and contain no fillers. On Guard is a protective blend of oils containing wild orange, clove bud, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils. It can be used to support healthy immune function, protect against environmental threats and can be used as a non-toxic cleaner. You can also purify the air through diffusion.
