A Different View by Sean

Hello there!

My name is Sean and recently, I was introduced to the world of DoTERRA essential oils. I will be honest with you, I do have my beliefs in several different things, but for a while, holistic healing was not necessarily one of those things. Sure, I have parents who are from countries other than the United States and they have a more distinct belief in herbs and unguents and potions and oils, but I have never been one of them.

Recently as I said however, one of my very good friends, introduced me to something quite different. Natural oils. I'll tell you right now, my family uses peppermint for stomach aches, honey and black-pepper for sore throats, aloe vera is for burns that one gets from the stove, ginseng for regulating blood pressure, et cetera. They have a million and one cures and I just prefer to have my Advil.

At the time that my friend had come over, I had a terrible headache. You see, I had had one for most of the day and on top of that, my Advil had not been working for quite some time. She passed me a small bottle of brown color and said, "Put some of that on."

I took one look at the bottle and rolled my eyes at her. "I'll get an Advil," I told her and began to shuffle to the bathroom.

She tried to pass me the bottle once more and then said, "Just put some of that where it hurts and tell me that you wont feel better."

So I opened the bottle and was assaulted by the strong scent of something minty. Placating my friend, I did exactly as she told me and took a couple drops of the oil and placed it on my temples which were throbbing with a pulsating that was driving me crazy. We then began discussing a party that was going to be happening at some time in the future.  It was somewhere around two minutes when the throbbing suddenly was noticeably gone and I remarked on such. My friend nodded and simply smiled and then exploded into the uses of DoTERRA and it's myriad of joys.

I slowed her down and then listened to what she had to say. I feel a little silly to say, she had me try some other oils and blends that she had with her and within a week, I was signed up with DoTERRA.

Now I have been signed up with these oils for some time and I have heard and experienced quite a bit that I would like to share with everyone. However, unlike everything else, I would like to share a male perspective of these essential oils that I have come to enjoy and use.

Stick with me, and I'll tell you of a whole new way to enjoy DoTERRA.

doTERRA is Awesome!

The doTERRA range of essential oils, spa products and skincare is taking over my house! I was first introduced to the brand by a friend who recommended www.godoterra.com for natural aromatherapy supplies. I tried a few of the oils and I loved them. Once I learned more about the natural health benefits of essential oils, and realized that they can provide alternative and superior treatments for many health issues, my obsession with all things doTERRA began.

Did you know that essential oils contain natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties, and can fight infections and viruses which modern medicine is unable to cure? They are effective whether they are diffused in the atmosphere, taken internally as supplements or applied topically as skincare ingredients.

www.godoterra.com carry the entire range of doTERRA products, all of which are 100% natural, safe and guaranteed. There are single oils, oil blends, spa and skincare, as well as wellness and weight loss items to choose from. If you're anything like me you will soon be working your way through everything. I'll talk more about my favorite items next time!

Balance, an essential Essential Oil!

doTERRA's grounding blend Balance is one of the key Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) essential oil blends from www.godoterra.com that I cannot live without. It works to provide body balance and equilibrium, both inside and out. Containing a variety of properties that can enhance mood, soothe frayed nerves, and ease aching muscles, this blend promotes tranquility to create a sense of balance. The aptly named Balance oil blend is a hard working multi-tasker which delivers exceptional value for the entire family.

My favorite uses for the grounding blend Balance are for anxiety relief and on occasions when I drive long distances. For relief from anxiety, I apply Balance oil on the back of my neck, over my heart, and on the back of my wrists. Rubbing my wrists together and inhaling never fails to restore a sense of calm. Before a long journey, I find that an application of Balance on the lower back, wrists and at the nape of the neck helps eliminate any muscle cramps, steady my nerves and focus my mind.

Relieving Allergies Naturally

I live in Northern Virginia and have suffered from sever allergies for the past 5 years. I had no allergies my whole life and then BAM! Out of nowhere I was totally knocked out of commission, I mean sent home from work because they thought I had the flu!
For the past few years I had to get three shots of Allergy serum in my arms each week just so that I could go outside without my eyes getting itchy and watery. After discovering doTERRA Essential Oils, I learned that using lemon, lavender, & peppermint oil
were able to replace my allergy serum! I made a small vial of the combination of the three and put it on topically over my sinuses every day and had no more allergy issues! After about a month I was able to get it down to only using it every couple of days
or when I was going to be doing some gardening. I am so grateful for this discovery, it has made my life so much better!& peppermint oil were able to replace my allergy serum! I made a small vial of the combination of the three and put it on topically over
