Daily Essentials
December 2015 * Tips & Tricks From a Daily Oiler
Welcome
I want to share the benefits and blessings with as many people as I can. This newsletter is largely devoted to those who already use oils, but if you are looking to create change in your life or you're thinking "what's the big deal about essential oils?" let me know. I love to work with and educate friends near and far.

Three Oils Perfect for the Winter Season
Cassia - Fab Fragrance 10% off
Check out the diffuser blends below. December is a great time to try it out while it's on sale. Also note that this is one of a few hot oils which you will want to dilute when you use it topically.
Douglas Fir - Got Christmas Trees?
Pair it with a citrus oil (bergamot, wild orange, grapefruit, lemon) for an amazing smell. Add a couple of drops with a couple drops Eucalyptus to your hands or chest for clear breathing. Or, combine with 1-2 drops wintergreen for a relaxing massage.
Myrrh - Winter Woes Buster
Add a couple of drops to doTERRA's unscented healing hands lotion and rub it on every night before bed. Great on the face for fine lines and for stretch marks. Did you know you can also add a drop with a drop of on guard or lemon in a small shot glass of water for a natural mouth wash? Go set em by the sink and try it tonight! Happy oiling!

Oils Paid For Life
How do you do it? Do you have to be 'salesy'? No!
Do you have to do doTERRA as a full-time business? No!
Do you have to be brand new to oils? No!
The requirements? A wholesale membership. Share your oils and what you love about them with others. Hold a few solid classes and you can achieve it. If you are motivated, this can be done in one month's time. December has the highest success rate for oilers getting their oils paid off.
It's a huge blessing and relieves my budget to get my non-toxic hand soap, toothpaste, vitamins, probiotics, detergent, household cleaners, lotion and spa products, skin care and of course oils absolutely for free every single month. Let me know if you are interested and I will help you! It feels great to not have to think about the budget when you support your oils habit and bless your family on an ongoing basis with better physical and emotional wellness!

A Healthy Gut for the New Year
A new gut probably wasn't at the top of your list but I'll tell you why it's at the top of mine.
Gut health is our physical and emotional wellness. It can be compromised by stress, physical exertion, antibiotics and chemicals we are exposed to in prepackaged or fast food meals.
The result is that we get our guts become overwhelmed with the bad stuff. This is a silent problem but it manifests with many symptoms: we are tired all the time, get infections, emotional issues, skin rashes, inability to lose weight, digestive issues, sick more often and a host of other problems you may not know why you are experiencing. This has happened to me, and I have a relatively "healthy" diet.
An easy thing you can do to support better gut health? Take a quality probiotic.
They aren't created equally. Many are broken down by stomach acid before you receive benefits. It's' also great to find one that has several strains of good bacteria and delivers billions of colony building units. doTERRA's Probiotic Defense Formula fits the bill. It delivers prebiotic and probiotic support to your intestine through a time release capsule to sustain the benefits.
How to take it? 1-3 times per day. My goal is 3x's per day for 18,000 CFUs. That's a great amount, based on my research. It can also be taken with GX Assist 10 days of the month which helps kill off the bad bacteria. Just PB Assist alone though is a great start. One tip - cut out coffee, soda and alcohol to avoid recolonizing bad bacteria.
Digestive Enzyme Complex: What does it do?
This supplement supports the body’s constant production of enzymes for healthy digestion of food nutrients and speeds the metabolism of nutrients to cellular energy. It helps with the natural digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.
For my son and I who do not do well processing dairy and gluten, sugar, etc , we use it daily in case some of the offenders slip into our diet. If you are indulging this holiday season, keep it handy for improved nutrient absorption and metabolism of enzyme-deficient, processed foods. Take it with you while traveling and trying new restaurants to make sure stomach upset doesn’t slow you down.
Peace on Earth: Make Over Your Mood
Why do these oils work so well to effect emotions?
From Dr. David Hill:
Essential oils are simply a mixture of volatile aromatic compounds. These compounds are able to interact with the olfactory (smell) receptors in the nose. Our sense of smell can have a profound effect on our emotions, and simply inhaling the aroma can elicit an emotional response. The smell receptors located on the upper surface of the nasal cavity make direct links with the limbic system of the brain, where the scent is perceived and processed.
Peace is my current favorite for our household right now. It contains several oils that work in concert for calming.
