Wondering what all the fuss is about with essential oils? They are certainly becoming more and more popular with so many people now searching for safer natural alternatives to support their health and wellbeing. Think that they are just smelly hippy stuff that you put in a oil burner? I used to until I started using doTERRA’s essential oils! doTERRA’s essential oils can offer us SO much more than just a divine aroma. These Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils can be used to support our wellness on all levels…physically, emotionally and spiritually. Learn more about why I choose to use doTERRA’s essential oils here.
I carry my trusty little doTERRA keychain with me everywhere I go and it gets a workout on a daily basis. I thought I’d share with you the essential oils in my keychain and how I use them to give you an idea of just how versatile these oils are. Some oils I carry around neat (i.e. undiluted) and some are diluted with doTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil (a light and non-greasy carrier oil that stays liquid at all temperatures). I have replaced some of the 2ml vials that come with the keychain with 3ml roller bottles (they fit perfectly) that I order from here.
The doTERRA keychain only costs $8 when you have your own doTERRA wholesale account (which gives you access to 25% off retail prices on all products)! It comes with eight 2ml amber glass bottles which you can then fill with the oils of your choice. You also receive a sheet of cap stickers when you open your account so you can label your oil bottles and your keychain bottles for ease of use. Learn more about opening your wholesale account here. Read on for details of my exciting FREE GIFT OFFER available until 29 February 2016.
Peppermint
This one I carry undiluted in my keychain as I like to use it as my natural, sugar-free, chemical-free breath freshener by tapping one tiny drop onto my tongue and swishing it around then washing it down with water. You can swish it around and spit it out if you prefer but I like the soothing digestive support it offers as well. Click here for more information on the toxicity of artificial sweeteners used in most sugar-free breath fresheners and gums. Peppermint alsomakes a fantastic respiratory and sinus support. You could take a drop on your thumb, put it on the roof of your mouth (beware this is quite powerful though very effective) and inhale deeply, diffuse or even just smell it straight from the bottle. Diluted Peppermint oil is also excellent for pain caused by head tension (I like to apply to behind my temples above my ear and in the indentations at the base of my skull). Peppermint oil is fantastic for promoting alertness and focus, so it’s a great one to inhale when the mid-afternoon energy low hits or on long car drives.
Lavender
Called the “swiss army knife of oils”, Lavender has so many uses! I carry mine diluted in my keychain and apply to bites and stings (takes the itch out of a mosquito bite straight away), as well as for calming (myself or my daughter). I also use it in combination with Peppermint oil when I’m exposed to allergens like cat hair and dust – I pop a drop of Peppermint oil on my tongue and inhale the Lavender oil directly from the bottle and I find the sneezing and itching subsides rapidly. Lavender is also excellent for burns and any other skin irritations. Diluted lavender oil along the jaw line can help soothe teething woes in young children too.
Frankincense
They don’t call it the King of Oils for nothing…Frankincense is probably one of the THE most versatile essential oils. It’s often said “if in doubt, use Frankincense” as it’s helpful for almost everything! Frankincense can provide powerful support for your nervous system and I use it often for anxious feelings – I like to apply to the wrists, over the heart and back of neck, and you can apply to soles of feet too. When used topically or aromatically (inhaled or diffused), Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness. I carry Frankincense diluted in my keychain.
DigestZen digestive blend
This wondrous blend comes everywhere with me! I carry a pre-diluted 3ml roller in my keychain for rolling on sore tummies and also a neat (undiluted) vial in the keychain for adding to water for any emergency digestive distress (I only use it in this way for adults). It’s fantastic for any kind of digestive issue from tummy bugs to overindulging to motion sickness, and it has saved us many a time! DigestZen also aids in the digestion of foods and maintains a healthy gastrointestinal tract. DigestZen contains a range of essential oils from plants that you may already know are great for supporting digestion…Ginger, Peppermint, Caraway, Coriander, Anise, Tarragon and Fennel.
Balance grounding blend
We LOVE this essential oil blend for it’s wonderful calming effects on the nervous system. I apply Balance to my wrists and over my heart when I need help with anxious feelings and nerves, and it’s gorgeous aroma makes a lovely natural toxin-free perfume (or “pure-fume” as some like to call it). My daughter also loves to use it in this way regularly. This beautiful oil blend does a whole lot more than just grounding though…it also promotes circulation and supports cellular health and overall wellbeing. Balance contains fractionated coconut oil, Canadian Spruce leaf oil, Ho wood oil, Frankincense oil, Tanacetum oil, and Chamomilla Recutita Flower oil. This one can be used topically without dilution as it already contains Fractionated Coconut Oil.
On Guard protective blend
This blend provides powerful support for the body’s immune system and contains Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils. I carry it diluted in a 3ml roller bottle in my keychain for quick application to soles of feet at the first sign of any illness. I always apply it before travelling on planes and any other public transport to support my immunity too. I also carry a separate 50ml glass press pump bottle containing my natural hand sanitiser made using the On Guard blend (more info on the nasty ingredients in commercial hand sanitisers and recipe here).
Ice Blue soothing blend
This one comes everywhere with me diluted in a 3ml roller bottle in my keychain. It smells a little like other commercial products like Deep Heat but the support it offers sore muscles and joints is worlds apart! It contains Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, Helichrysum and Osmanthus, and I love to use it on the rare occasion I get to have a professional massage or any time I have muscle soreness or fatigue.
