There has been some interest from family and friends about my DoTERRA oils and why I chose them, as well as how I use them. So I have decided to write out a pretty detailed blog post for everyone to have as a reference :)
About 2 years ago is when I decided to venture out and start using a more homeopathic approach to medicine and healing. Basically, after Hasting was about 5 months old. I wanted a solution to all of the coughs, runny noses, poop problems, stomach issues, etc etc, and I DIDN'T want it to be a doctor prescribing my small little baby a prescription. Not just that either. I was tired of taking my child in to get diagnosed for something (which indeed typically led to a pharmaceutical drug), and him being even more susceptible to catching something even WORSE in the doctors office (not including compromising my immune system at the same time). I've never really battled with health issues, BUT I will say that I suffer from EXTREME allergies year-round. Prescription drugs weren't cutting it, and after researching prescription drugs (and reading articles describing intensely scary side-effects), I decided to look elsewhere. I wanted to be in charge of my own health, not some doctor who is paid even more to write out a prescription which by the way could potentially harm me more than help me. How many times have you been sick and left the doctor’s office with a prescription for antibiotics? How many times have you struggled with acid reflux and left with a pill to fix it? Taking so many pills stresses the liver, but the problem is that you cannot stop taking the pills or the symptoms come back. Instead of looking at the symptoms, let’s begin to look to nature for the answer.
So I turned to essential oils, but not DoTERRA. I found Aurora Cacia, which is found at Whole Foods. I stared making my own cleaning products, using it for everyday things like headaches, burns, itchiness, sleep aid, and I felt no different. It wasn't until I became pregnant with our second that I tried DoTERRA for the first time. A friend of mine had signed up and tossed me a few samples, and made me a calming blend for my son. I noticed immediate results for my allergies, and for my son as well. My blend would immediately lift my mood, and would settle me in times of anxiousness or anxiety. They were really working! At the time I didn't have the funds to really pour in to oils, so I just fell back in to struggling for a while. Finally, right before our daughter was born I had enough. I had one of the worst sinus infections ever. One of my doulas threw me a sample together of Breathe, and it was like heaven in a little bottle. From there I was seriously hooked.
Our daughter was born, and the struggle was real. I had two kids, 24 months apart, and felt like I was eating my placenta pills like a train smoker smokes cigarettes. Legit. Our daughter had colic, I was restless, my son was diagnosed with sensory overload, and my husband was rarely home because of work and school. I was over-loaded. I needed help. I attended a party a friend of mine hosted, and I took the plunge. I signed up, ordered A la Carte, and here I am...surviving life and motherhood with my miracle oils. I'm making money (for more oils and all my baby carriers of course haha) and living happy.
SO..WHY ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils are an emerging category of wellness
products that provide a natural alternative to healthcare. If you are concerned
about using synthetic drugs and would like to try a natural solution before
visiting the doctor, then essential oils are a great option!
Like I said earlier, I wasn't seeing result with other companies, so I dug in to DoTERRA. They test all of their oils in 5 different ways. May sound a little excessive, but it's extremely important for constructing superior products! I also discovered that DoTERRA work with local farmers in the plants indigenous locations to grow their plants. They harvest the materials and distill them right there. They work very closely with their farmers and distillers to ensure that the plants are grown to specification, harvested at peak and distilled properly. Major awesomeness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you use essential oils?- Aromatically - Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways in our body. Breathing in a pure essential oil by way of diffusing, can purify the air, promote emotional benefits to our body, and eliminate odors and airborne pathogens.
- Topically - doTERRA oils have a immediate, localized benefit by restoring or calming our body. The chemical structure of essential oils allows them to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit throughout the body.
- Internally - doTERRA oils can be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of healthy conditions. Some oils have powerful antioxidant properties. Some help support healthy inflammatory response in cells (Do not use an essential oil internally that does NOT have the appropriate dietary supplement facts on it’s label – doTERRA oils do!).
Why ARE doTERRA oils more expensive than some other brands you can buy at the store?
When it comes to essential oils, you get what you pay for. Most store-bought essential oils are not put through the testing like doTERRA oils are. Plus, there usually is a warning on the label not to take them internally. No thank you!
Is there a monthly order minimum?
Nope. You do not need to have a monthly order to benefit from being a Wellness Advocate, Preferred Member or a retail customer. Wellness Advocates pay a $35 annual membership fee and Preferred Members pay a $10 fee.
I don’t really want to sell essential oils. Do I have to sell doTERRA products to be a Wellness Advocate or Preferred Member?
Of course not! Since there is no monthly order requirement you can just order whenever your family needs it. There is no requirement to have a business.
What do I need to get started?
To begin as an Wellness Advocate you start by purchasing an Enrollment Kit. There are several options to choose from depending on your budget. I highly recommend the Family Wellness Kit or the Home Essentials kit. Even if you have no intention of ever selling the oils to others, becoming a Wellness Advocate is still a great option. There are no minimums or quotas you must meet– and no one is going to pressure you to sell product or have “parties” if you aren’t interested in that aspect.
