Roller Blend Resource for Using Essential Oils Everyday!

EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR MAKING EVERYDAY GO TO BLENDS!

On Guard:  

This is doTERRA's Protective Blend.  If you want to protect your family from cold or flu, this is your go-to EO!  For families and individuals alike, On Guard in a roller bottle gives you assembly line speed when oiling up the family!  Line the kids up barefoot and roll the On Guard on before they leave the house and don't forget your own feet too!  Note:  If you already have the cold or flu, keep rolling, On Guard can cut the duration of sick time dramatically!

doTERRA Breathe and Frankincense:  

2 parts Breathe, 2 parts Frankincense, 1 part Fractionated Coconut Oil.  This is my favorite combination for dry cough.  Apply it to the throat and chest as needed.  Breathe will open up the airways and soothe tissue.  Frankincense will enhance the properties of Breathe while adding it's own superior regenerative properties.

doTERRA Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint:  

1 part each.  Blend these EOs together and you have yourself a powerful, natural antihistamine!  When suffering from allergies, roll this blend on your feet morning and night.  During the day, on your chest.  This blend is also very beneficial to take internally but if you just don't have the time to open 3 bottles to fill a capsule or add to water, LLP in a roller bottle makes life a little easier!

101 Amazing things to do with just three Essential Oils. Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint! Wow I never knew that...

Stop Cutting Board Bacteria Palooza. 

Cutting boards can harbor bacteria in your  kitchen. Nobody wants to taste the chemicals

 you have in your cleaning closet, yet most people love the taste of lemon!

Zest Up Your Sugary Indulgences. 

There are an infinite number of ways lemon oil can add a bit of freshness to 

your sugary savors: Lemon frosting • Lemon meringue • Sour cream lemon pie • Lemon cakes 

• Lemon tart glaze • Lemon squares • Lemon cookies • Breathtaking, awe-inspiring lemonade 

A Brighter Complexion. 

Lemon oil can help remove dead skin cells and exfoliate. For a homemade exfoliant, 

add 4-5 drops to a small amount of oatmeal and water for a homemade scrub. Feels great!

Take the Bite Out of It. 

Insects, creepies and crawlies...

 are not too fond of the smell of lavender. 

In fact, they hate it. If you forget to go the prevention

 route, lavender soothes bites, itching and inflammation.

Kids Won’t Go Down?

 Lavender drops on their pillows … it’s like magic.

 It will help ease their mind, calm them down, make bedtime a bit more rewarding, and best of all … lull them into a restful sleep.

Sleep Like a Baby.
If you find you are having a hard time sleeping, peppermint oil helps activate cold-sensitive receptors in the skin and mucosal tissues. When used this way, it may help with insomnia.

Go Eight-Leg Free.
When you diffuse peppermint into the room, you’ll notice fewer spiders. Why? They don’t like it. It’s safe, contains no harsh chemicals or pesticides. It doesn’t kill the spiders, but forces them out.

What others are saying about these oils...

"Recently my friend was stung by a bee. We quickly put on the Lavender oil straight from the bottle and the pain was instantly gone.  And so amazing you could actually watch the sting sight decrease in size and redness immediately" 

Amazing!  Yolanda C. Northern CA

"My grandsons came for a visit and my little one year old is very active and I could not get him to give me his attention.  I sprayed him in the face with my Lavender Water, he looked me straight in the eyes and smiled.  The rest of his visit we used the Lavender to help him to slow down and enjoy the visit.  He loved it so much he would run up to me with his eyes closed so I could spray him.... he loves how it makes him feel. A drop of oil on his pillow and he slept all night long.  Mom and Dad could not believe the difference in him."

Liz A. Northern CA

"I love to use the Lemon Oil with Vinegar in a spray bottle to clean and disinfect my kitchen and bathroom without using harsh chemicals! Cheap and Healthy = WIN WIN"

Comment:  Recenty, I had someone sleep on my Temperdic bed that wore lots of perfume. I called Temperdic and they recommended me to cover it with baking soda and let it sit for a while, which I did for most of the day and the baking soda took out the smell with no damage done to my mattress. Now I will add the Essential Oils too.

A BETTER SOLUTION!!!!

Vetiver for ADHD

About Vetiver

Vetiver is a complex, woods aroma that is renowned for its balancing and grounding uses. It also has historically been acknowledged for its soothing and calming effects and stimulating effects on the nervous system. Don’t be confused. Yes, even with its calming and relaxing effects, others have found it to be mentally and physically rejuvenating. Vetiver can be both calming and rejuvenating to the body and mind.

Most recently, parents have found it highly effective in treating ADD or ADHD as an alternative to Ritalin and other prescription medications.

Vetiver, with its calming properties, has been known to dispel anger, hysteria and irritability. Further, even neurotic behavior stemming from stress and tension has been reduced.

Typical Applications

Apply 3-4 drops of Vetiver to a child’s back or the bottom of their feet using a carrier oil immediately following a shower and prior to bed time. With experience combine Vetiver with a balancing, uplifting, or relaxing blend to enhance the help. The synergistic combination with a single oil such as Lavender, Ylang Ylang or Clary Sage will also be effective.

Application has also historically proven helpful through the olfactory system (inhalation). Prepare a tissue cup or inhaler to be used when anxiety or other symptoms of ADHD are felt.

Use Vetiver with a carrier oil for a sensual massage and to enjoy its aphrodisiacal properties.

Research:  Dr. Terry Friedman, M.D. did a 2 year study of children between the ages of 6 and 12 years old trying to identify essential oils useful in the treatment of ADD and ADHD. Vetiver was shown to be highly successful with 100% of the subjects over a 30 day period when the children felt "scatter brained." Dr. Friedman used an inhalation method.
