Known for its warm and floral fragrance, Jasmine also provides a myriad of benefits both aromatically and topically. Here are some of our favorite uses:

• Apply on your wrists and neck as a personal fragrance.  Jasmine’s aroma is intensely floral, warm, musky, and exotic—the perfect scent for a fun perfume. (Not to mention its scent is also uplifting!)
  
  
• Jasmine is known to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and promote healthy-looking, radiant skin. Because of its convenient application in a roll-on bottle and its combination with Fractionated Coconut Oil, you can apply Jasmine Touch directly on skin imperfections in the morning and night.  Not only will it help reduce the appearance of skin imperfections but it will also leave your skin with a beautiful glowing complexion.
  
  
• Because Jasmine has such an uplifting scent, using Jasmine Touch on our pulse points is the perfect way to uplift mood. Emotionally, Jasmine promotes feelings of joy, peace, and self-confidence. Applying Jasmine in the morning will help provide a positive outlook on the day and leave you feeling uplifted and confident.

​​Here are 8 Ways to use Lime Oil:

1. For extra antioxidants and immune support - add a drop of lime to your morning smoothie.
2. Diffuser blend (this blend will freshen the air and help you feel more relaxed) - Place 3 drops Lime, 3 drops Lavender and 2 drops Ylang Ylang in a diffuser. 
3. To calm anxiety or to help you sleep - Rub 1 drop of lime on the spine or the back of the neck as needed. 
4. If your digestive system is too slow - Rub 1 drop of Lime oil and 1 drop of DigestZen oil over the abdomen daily. 
5. All-natural cleaning solution - Place 2 drops of lime oil on a cotton pad and use to remove sticky residue and grease spots. Or, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup organic vinegar and 10 drops lime oil in a glass spray bottle and use to clean the entire house. 
6. For colds, coughs, sore throat and chest congestion - Place 1-2 drops to a bowl of steaming water and inhale it. You can also mix a few drops with fractionated coconut oil, then rub it on your neck and chest.

1. Food Cravings
Grapefruit oil is known to lower sugar cravings and help kick sugar addiction when inhaled. Rub it onto the wrists, neck or chest or place a few drops in the palms of your hands, cup the hands over the nose and mouth, and inhale it to stave off cravings. You can also put 3 drops of grapefruit oil in a diffuser to help reduce sugar cravings.

2. Healthy Weight Management
Not only will grapefruit oil reduce sugar cravings, but it also supports healthy metabolism and may reduce appetite. Add 2 drops to water or massage the oil onto the chest and wrists when a craving strikes.

3. Lymphatic Health
Grapefruit oil is an excellent natural diuretic and lymphatic stimulant. It can help eliminate toxins and excess salt from the body. Add 2 drops to water and take internally or apply it topically over the kidneys.

5. Digestive Health and Detoxification
By increasing blood to the digestive organs, grapefruit oil helps with detoxification and has a positive effect on digestion. Mix 2 drops of grapefruit oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) and massage over the abdomen.

6. Adrenal Support
Apply 1 drop of Grapefruit and 1 drop of Basil with FCO and rub over the adrenals or on the soles of your feet to support the adrenals.

7. Air Freshener
To get rid of unpleasant odors, diffuse grapefruit oil with other citrus oils like lemon and lime oils to freshen the air...and reduce stress.

Oregano essential oil is an incredible natural alternative that is worth trying before resorting to something that has potential side effects. You will probably be surprised at just how much 1 drop of this oil can do! It has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

* Note: Because it is so powerful, Oregano oil should not be used for more than 2 weeks at a time and should ALWAYS be diluted. Dilute 1:3 (1 drop essential oil to 3 drops carrier oil) when used topically. Can also be diffused. When taken internally be sure to put it in a veggie cap and add a carrier oil too, then swallow with a glass of water. Do not give to children under 6 years old, and dilute heavily in children over 6.

​Have any of you been trying to reduce the toxic load in your home with regards to cleaning and personal care products? I have been very successful at making a lot of cleaning products using essential oils. I love the spray that I use to clean my countertops, which is a combination of water, white vinegar, and wild orange essential oil. I have also attempted to make some homemade hair products. It was fun trying to make a hair conditioner using avocados, but it left my hair feeling unclean and without any bounce to it. I recently tried doTERRA’s shampoo, conditioner and root to tip serum…and they are awesome! They are unlike any other hair products that I have used from other companies. The other “all natural shampoos” that I have tried did not lather and my hair felt dirty and oily after washing. Since using doTERRA’s shampoo (and conditioner), my hair feels so clean (as it should after shampooing, right?) and has been shinier and softer than ever. It has been growing much faster too. I love these products!! I came across the following graphic from www.honeycombmama.com and am eager to try some of these oils with my shampoo and conditioner. I would love to know how they work for you.

Tick season is pretty bad this year, but thankfully we have essential oils to help us and our pets. Use the following blend to repel ticks. This is safe for humans and dogs. If the Lemongrass and Eucalyptus blend does not seem to be powerful enough, then you could add 20 drops of Terrashield to it.

If you have a tick embedded in your skin, take a look at how fast peppermint oil works to get the tick to remove its head. The little buggers do not like peppermint oil!
