I get asked how safe essential oils are. They are safe for anyone. Babies, Kids, Adults.
Here's what my kids use daily
Brooklyn - 11 years old
1 capsule of each of the 3 vitamins in the Lifelong Vitality Pack
For her Juvenile Diabetes (I have not found a protocol out there for type 1, so I read up on the ones used for type 2 and use them)
2 drops CORIANDER
2 drops BASIL
2 drops ON GUARD
This goes together in a capsule
also
BALANCE on her feet mornings
LAVENDER on her feet nights
For Pancreas support and better function:
I put ROSEMARY, THYME, CLOVE, and CINNAMON in a solid form of coconut oil (I slowly melted the oil, added the essential oils, then let it cool and harded back up. She rubs it on her stomach daily where her pancreas is located.
For Celiac:
She rubs DIGESTZEN on her stomach.
Kaylee 15 years old
1 capsule of each of the 3 vitamins in the Lifelong Vitality Pack (this is what I started them on when Kaylee turns 16 I'll have being taking 2 of each, at 18 I'll have her take the full dose)
For her Juvenile Diabetes:
I have not found a protocol out there for type 1, so I read up on the ones used for type 2 and use them
4 drops CORIANDER
4 drops BASIL
2 drops ON GUARD
This goes together in a capsule
also
BALANCE on her feet mornings
LAVENDER on her feet nights
For Pancreas support and better function:
I put ROSEMARY, THYME, CLOVE, and CINNAMON in a solid form of coconut oil (I slowly melted the oil, added the essential oils, then let it cool and harded back up. She rubs it on her stomach daily where her pancreas is located.
For her Hypothyroid:
2 drops LEMONGRASS
2 drops CLOVE
Either in a capsule or on the bottom of her feet
For her Vitiligo:
FRANKINCENSE (There is not an oil that will bring back the skin pigment - at least not one I have found, however because of the missing skin pigment in some areas, skin cancer is a real concern; so I have her use sunscreen and we also use FRANKINCENSE for its cancer protection and fighting properties).
Emma - 12 years old
1 capsule of each of the 3 vitamins in the Lifelong Vitality Pack
Alyssa - 17 years old
2 capsules of each of the 3 vitamins in the Lifelong Vitality Pack
Alyssa also uses PURIFY to help clear up her face and FRANKINCENSE on the red scarring left from acne.
Brooklyn was diagnosed with T1 at the age of 2 and Kaylee was diagnosed at 13. I don't know if we had been using these oils prior to if that would have helped prevent it from happening. But I do know that by using them now I'm preventing other complications from showing up. Diabetes is one disease that sometimes leads to other complications in the liver, kidneys, heart, eyes, feet....and several other areas as well. I have chosen to use oils that will help keep all those areas as healthy as we can, along with good eating habits and exercise.

Fybromyalgia help by using Essential Oils
This one is by James Bybee:
Fybromyalgia is one of many that are ultimately traced back to poor nutrition and inflammation ie. candida being a major culprit. If you can correct the nutrition, reduce stress and control the candida the problem should correct over time. There is no overnight fix but changes should occur with in 90 days. It may take 12 months to feel like a new person.
I recommend lots of whole fresh foods and as much organic low fat (ie. greens not avocados) raw foods as possible.
Life Long Wellness pack
GX and PB assist monthly
Daily use of oils like Lavender (or other calming oils) and citrus oils such as grapefruit in a capsule or under the tongue.
And of course last but not least some form of aerobic exercise as simple as walking or stationary rowing, biking and walking machines.

Essential Oils vs. Dried Herbs - No Comparison!
Essential Oils vs. Dried Herbs, No Comparison!
Susan Lawton, dōTERRA Founding IPC
Discovering how essential oils are different from herbs and food supplements is an important step in learning the variety of ways to use these powerful plant oils.
Essential oils are the heartbeat of the plant kingdom, and are perhaps the most exciting life-giving substance we have in the world today. They represent in plants what blood represents in humankind - life! This heartbeat is the energy that was created to deliver the nutrients into every cell of the body. Defined; Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, bushes and seeds. An ancient process, oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten. Science is just now re-discovering the incredible healing power of essential oils, and beginning to acknowledge their value for our health.
More Potent Than Herbs....
Being concentrated, the oils contain virtually all of the plants healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules, amino acid precursors, coenzyme A factors, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and more. Because they are concentrated, essential oils are from 50 to 70 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they are derived from. Unlike dried herbs that can lose up to 90% of the healing nutrients and oxygen molecules, essential oils do not. Research further shows that essential oils when applied to skin will penetrate every single cell within 20 minutes.
Because the very life force of the plant is contained in essential oils, and because this life force synergizes so favorably with the human body, essential oils are now being considered as medicine by some of the world's most prominent doctors. Clinical research has proven 100% pure (without any solvents or chemical additives), essential oils to be: Immune Stimulating, Antiviral, Anti-infection, Antibacterial, Antimicrobial, Antiseptic, Antitumoral, and Antifungal.
Recent research has also shown that many of the so called "super bugs" that has modern medicine so concerned cannot survive in the presence of essential oils. And there has there been any pathogens known to resist essential oils by mutating.
Best of all, 100% certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils are freely available and safe for home use. Many people diffuse the oils into the atmosphere of their homes, creating a virus free and pleasant environment. Many of the oils are applied directly to the skin to receive almost immediate benefit from many ailments.
Others are inhaled for relief from headaches, nausea, emotional release, etc.
Nature's Most Effective Delivery Agent!"
Because essential oils contain such high amounts of oxygenating molecules, they act as an effective delivery agent to bring food nutrients THROUGH the cell wall to feed the cell nucleus.
Without an adequate delivery agent to assist the cell to receive needed nutrients, the cell can become deprived of needed nutrition. Without adequate nutrition, the cell wall thickens hindering further delivery of nutrients. When malnutrition occurs, the cell begins to deteriorate, creating a host for disease-causing pathogens. Essential oils are known for their ability to pass through the thickest cell walls. They have the ability to restore diseased and malnourished cells back to health. In fact, essential oils are nature's most effective catalyst and delivery agent for feeding your body's several trillion cells.

Menopause Help - Experiences and Testimonials of real people with real relief
These are oils/vitamins used for the relief of menopause:
The LLW is the Life Long Wellness vitamins. The vitamins are a great start because they help regulate the body themselves. It seems that they help improve the body no matter what your personal ailment is. My husband saw his blood pressure lower, another saw improvement in fibromyalgia, and as you read the testimonials below you’ll see they saw improvement with menopause just on the vitamins. But to get complete relief they also incorporated a few oils.

But to get complete relief they also incorporated a few oils.
Bergamot – Historically has been used to cool and relieve fevers. It helps with emotional balance. It is an uplifting and refreshing oil.
Roman Chamomile – historically used for a clear mind and to empower with courage. It was nicknamed the plant physician because it cured any ailing plant near it. It has calming and relaxing properties.
Clary Sage – Historically has been used for female complaints – everything PMS/cramps/menopause, also kidney, digestive, and skin disorders. It affects the hormonal system.
Frankincense – The father of all oils – this oil had a huge list of things it helps with from allergies to seizures to cancer and everything in between. One wonderful thing that it also does is it helps enhance all other oils you are using. My family all uses this daily as a cancer preventative. My daughter Kaylee has vitiligo and because her skin doesn’t have the pigment it needs to protect her from the suns rays like the rest of us do I protect her and all of us with frankincense. Of course we use sunscreen also.
Balance – is an oil blend it bring balance into your life. No matter what you are dealing with. I use this one daily personally. This blend brings the feeling of calmness, peace, and relaxation. It can aid in harmonizing the various physiological systems of the body and promote tranquility and a sense of balance.
Whisper – This is considered the Woman’s Blend – the oils in this blend are for emotional balance, and it contains many uplifting oils.
GX -or GX Assist – is the detox system we have. We put so many toxins into our bodies each day and the more I study these oils the more I learn that the ailments we have are made worse or their effect on us is made worse by these toxins. I suggest to everyone, that by detoxing, it could help lessen the symptoms and help improve our own immune to fight back.
PX – or PX Assist – is the follow up to the detox. It returns the good stuff to our bodies.
Peppermint – historical uses are female issues, fevers, headache and nausea. This one has a cooling effect. My husband uses one drop in the mornings in hot chocolate. He thinks it’s funny that the peppermint hits his throat and briefly cools it, then the hot chocolate warms it – crazy boy I say : )
Serenity – Relaxing blend – helps calm and soothe feelings of stress, excitement and anxiety in order to help the body maintain its natural state of health. – My mother stole this oil from me, she’s a school teacher about 3 years from retirement and well the kids these days are not what they used to be 20 years ago when she started teaching. It helps her get through her day and it helps her get the rest she needs each night to get up and keep going.
Vetiver – this oils aids in emotional balance, improving hormonal and nervous systems.
Experiences and Testimonials of others who have seen a relief in their lives.I underlined the products/oils suggested to make things clearer.
Stephanie - I would just like to share my experience with the LLW and oils for Menopause. Before the oils, my life was miserable. I was the one in the office with a desk fan on all day and my co-workers were wearing sweatshirts. I was the one that had the AC in the car blowing the coldest air I could get and freezing my kids! I was the one at Church that had to sit under the AC unit. I was the one that, when vacationing in Utah in December, could go outside without a coat. I was the person with a perpetual red face due to 4-5, or more, hot flashes a day. Let me tell you, NOT FUN!
Well, all this is in the past!! I still like the AC unit on, but no one complains that it's too cold! It all started in February when my friend, introduced me to doTERRA essential oils. I listened to the two Dr. Hill webinars on hormones and menopause. I read and paid attention to what works for others. I started on the LLW and within a short period of time, my hot flashes were reduced by 90%! Instead of 4-5 hot flashes a day, I got maybe 1-2 a week. The next step was ordering bergamot, Roman chamomile and clary sage and using these along with frankincense. I received these oils around the first of June. I have been applying these oils as recommended every day. Now my hot flashes have gone from 4-5 times per day, to 0! Let me repeat myself - 0, zero, nada!!
I can't begin to tell you how my life has changed. I tried explaining this to my doctor and he said it was because of my age that the hot flashes have diminished. HA! I don't believe a word of it. I highly doubt that my hot flashes would change from that many per day to nothing in less than a month. I'm just not that lucky!! So this is one of my many stories. I hope if you have a mother, sister, girl friend, aunt, grandma or another female that you know, suffering with these symptoms, please tell them to start on the LLW and see how that works. They can always add the oils if they need them.
Brooke – I have a question from a friend. She suffers from severe hot-flashes to the point her flesh feels like it is burning. She sweats profusely during the night, and is really struggling with this. She is starting the LLW, but are there any other suggestions. I tried to watch the presentation of Dr. Hill's (the Hormone Webinar #1), but the presentation cuts out less than half-way through and I didn't get to hear very much. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Sue - The oils I use to help are Balance, Whisper and frankincense along with doing the AromaTouch Technique. I would recommend the advise in Dr Hill's Hormonal talk. She sounds like she is on the right track starting on the LLW. I would suggest the GX and PX program as well. Get her to do a saliva test to see where her Progesterone level is at. I bet is super low. Which means her estrogen will be high. If she is having hot flashes she is probably having other symptoms as well. From anxiety, bloating, mood swings, depression, and sugar cravings. All covered in Dr Hill's talk.
Ellen - This is what has helped me tremendously-- In the morning I put Balance and peppermint on my neck/shoulder area and clary sage on my forearms. Before bed, I put clary sage on both my ankles. It took about 1-2 weeks before I noticed that it was actually helping. But, now I'm sold on it. It has helped me sooo much and I would recommend anyone try it.
Brooke - Thanks! Keep up the info! I also heard from someone that she had a lady that put a drop of Whisper behind each of her ears 20 minutes before bed and it took care of the night sweats....just a thought!
Briana - I have a friend of a friend who is having an extremely hard time sleeping for longer than 4 hours in a night. She is going through menopause, and is on the hormone pills, but those aren't working. My first instincts are Whisper, and Serenity. And possibly the LLW supplements. Any tips, hints, personal experiences?
Dian - Serenity helps bring about a restful sleep (rub on the bottom of feet about 30-45 minutes before sleep), Whisper helps to regulate hormones (put on ear lobes), clary sage helps regulate hormones (put on outside ankle bones and rub around the front of the leg to the inside ankle bone), peppermint helps calm hot flashes (power surges) (rub on the back of the neck) and the LLW helps to keep our bodies nourished. She needs to cut out any sugar foods and caffeine as well.
Kathy - Vetiver helps me sleep better too - I have problems waking during the night.
Some other good to know stuff would be:
doTERRA oils are safe to take internally (except a very few that say to not). I would not ever suggest to take any other essential oil internally, because so many add fillers. While those fillers help keep the cost down, it also makes them ineffective and not safe for internal use. Just a note here – many medicines have fillers also, and most of the side effects that people experience come from these fillers. Another reason I like these oils.
doTERRA is a company that offers a discount to preferred customers, or you can get the wholesale price by joining and becoming a IPC. You do not have to sale the oils if you become an IPC there are no requirements to buy or use a certain amount. But the option is there if you wish to. Most of my customers do just that. But it is all up to you and what you wish to do. If your not interested in either discount you can oder straight from my website listed below.
I love doTERRA oils. I’ve always been a fan of alternative medicine and studied everything from dried herbs and all sorts of other home remedies. doTERRA blew me away. I had a headache disappear in moments using the oil blend past tense, another oil my Mother stole from me – and I gladly gave it to her. She gets cramps in her right leg at night and so she keeps this one by her bedside.
I hope that you will give these a try. I enjoy knowing I have control of my family’s health. I have 2 kids with juvenile diabetes (which should mean they have weak immune systems) but we haven’t had anything more than a sniffle or two in several years!

Just rub a drop or two of each oil on the bottoms of your feet. Oils work in moments not it 20-30 minutes like most over the counter meds. Also there are no synthetics which means no side effects.
I so wish I had these at the beginning of our military life, rather than at the end. It would have helped in all areas! But I'm grateful I do have them. They definately help in the civillian world as well : )
