I am going to start this off by saying, I realize there are a million and one mommy bloggers out there blogging about essential oils....the blessings and the evils. It's hard to know in the millions of voices out there, who to listen to. I realize, I possibly am contributing to the noise :) I want you to know....as I post things, I am in no way trying to sway you one way or another. These are my experiences. This is my journey. This is what I am learning. More than anything, if you are curious about oils, I encourage you to not take the word of others, though testimonials can be powerful, instead do your own research. Try the products. Give it a whirl. That is all I am doing. I have chosen to blog it as a way of journaling my experience for myself. It is helpful to others along the way then that is just an added bonus. On to the blog...... :)
It has almost been one month since I have started using the vitamins and terrazymes along with a minimal amount of oils. I have swayed back and forth a million times....but I am finding, overall, I have been convinced. I have seen my body change. I have seen my husband change. I have watched the affects of the oils on my children. There have obviously been some things that have worked better than others and some things that take time to notice a difference, but in short here is what I have experienced with the vitamins, oils, and terrazymes:
-I sleep better
-My husbands snoring is noticeably quieter
-My digestive issues seem to have been sorted out
-My menstrual cycle has evened out
-My libido has come back from the grave
And with Oils:
-Peppermint and DigestZen without fail ease my stomach discomfort (I have had mixed reviews from my daughter, but generally it also seems to be relieving her pain)
-OnGuard seems to catch the beginning of a cold and keep it from turning into a full blown illness
-Past Tense relaxes me and helps me to sleep better
-Peppermint aides in relieving congestion and also has a cooling affect on shoulder pain....which in turn relieves headaches
-Orange (though my tummy doesn't tolerate this ingested) is fun to smell and actually is a bit energizing, though I might still just go take a nap if I feel tired :)
These are a few of my results. There are things still out on the table that I want to experiment more with and I will continue to experiment with them and blog on the effects we as a family have from using them. A few of the upcoming ones are:
-ClaryCalm: I am on a new commitment to use it daily to see if it helps with menstrual cramping and PMS headaches if used on a daily basis throughout the month
-Breath: We are going to see if this oil blend helps to clear up the rest of Rob's snoring
-Face Cleaning Products: I have not ordered these yet, but will also be testing these out eventually
The list really could go on forever. Now that a few products have had positive affects on us, I want to see what else might be beneficial. I look forward to continuing on this journey.
In closing, I would like to address what I started with. I have read a lot of blogs trying to find proof that doTerra is superior. I can't find a single bit of proof, outside of doTerra itself, that proves to me it is the best. There are blogs for it and blogs against, so I have been left with personal experience. In my own experience, I have not once received oil burns from using the oils NEAT. I have ingested them, and other than the awful taste, they have been healing to my body. I leave you with this. I have come to trust this company and it's products. The claims others have made about the dangers of using oils, I have not personally experienced. I encourage you....EDUCATE YOURSELF. KNOW YOUR BODY. AND RESEARCH THE PRODUCT. There are of course different uses for different oils and proper application....please know these things before using them.
If this feels overwhelming to you, please contact me....and while I am not a doctor, I can share with you what I have learned and hopefully point you into the right direction.
Disclaimer: DO YOUR RESEARCH! In no way am I diagnosing or able to treat illnesses. The above comments are purely my own research using doTerra products. Make sure you pick a pure essential oil and do not settle for something you are not sure about whether it be doTerra or any other product.
