Natural and effective treatments that I swear by

I have always been one to gravitate towards more natural options. When I had serious stomach issues, I was thrown from one doctor to the next who just kept putting me on prescription pills, which gave me horrible side effects, which I needed more prescriptions to fix. Such a mess. Finally after a year of feeling deathly ill with no end in sight, I demanded a gall bladder test. My instincts were right. My gall bladder wasn't even functioning by that point and my stomach lining was bright red with holes from the onslaught of unprocessed acid.  After gall bladder surgery I still wasn't feeling well so I finally went to a homeopathic specialist for $20. She did some kind of test with a copper pen hooked to a computer that read the weaknesses in my system. $100 of natural supplements and strict schedule of when to take them was what I left with. Within a month I was healed.

Fast forward about 8 years later. I had gastritis. I went to one doctor, he put me on a prescription. I said screw that, and went to a reflexologist that a friend recommended. She read the weaknesses in my feet by pushing a pencil eraser onto my reflex points in my feet (if it hurts, it's a weakness) sent me home with a bunch of herbal drops and supplements and a schedule. Once again, healed.

So you can see that I firmly believe in using what the earth has given us because it has worked for me countless times.

About four years ago my friend told me about Doterra. At the time I had just had a baby and he had eczema on his face and seemed to always be constipated. I decided to try the oils and bought the Family Physicians Kit. I applied lavender and melaleuca diluted with olive oil on Sawyers eczema and within a week it was gone and has never returned. For his constipation, I used DigestZen diluted with olive oil and rubbed it on his belly. Within five minutes he would have a nice poo. Amazing.

I started to use Elevate along with my Prozac. I was terrified to go off of it because I had tried that before and it just never worked. Before long I added Balance to the equation and finally felt daring enough to go off my Prozac. I haven't been on it since. As long as I use the oils every single day, I don't need it.

The same goes for my ADHD. Doterra came out with a blend called In Tune, which I use every day.
I used to use Strattera which worked well but it made me light headed at times, so I tried Adderall which quickly landed me in the ER with heart attack symptoms. No thanks.

My regimen is this:
Each morning after I get out of the shower I rub Serentiy, Balance, Elevate, In Tune and Wild Orange on the bottoms of my feet. Only a couple drops of each is needed. I use it throughout the day if needed, rubbing it on the back of my neck or using a diffuser for aromatherapy.

Natural Cleaning Solution

This is a wonderful home cleaning solution. Non toxic (you can actually eat it! Drink up :), delicious smelling, and best of all, it kills airborne toxins and germs!

I love having a clean house, but I really can't stand the smell of chemical cleaners. They give me a headache and a stomachache, not to mention, they aren't the best thing to breath into our systems.

There are so many benefits to using Essential Oils.

The ingredients for your cleaning solution:

ON GUARD: On Guard is dōTERRA®'s unique, proprietary blend formulated to support healthy immune function. Wild orange essential oil, combined with clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support. On Guard, with its unique aroma, is one of our most versatile blends. It is also safe to use on counter tops, as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or to purify the atmosphere by diffusing. On Guard is superb for eliminating and controlling pathogens due to the potency of its constituents. For aromatic, topical, or dietary use.

LEMON: Another favorite, this essential oil powerhouse is cold-pressed from lemon rinds to preserve its delicate nature and potent properties. Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic, topical, and internal cleanser that can be used to complement many other oils. Diffusing lemon in a room can cleanse the air and uplift mood. It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaning booster. For aromatic, topical or dietary use.

Combine 8 oz water with 2 drops On Guard and 2 drops Lemon. Safe for all surfaces. I use this to clean my kids toys, which my 8 month is constantly putting in his mouth. I like knowing that I can clean his toys and he can play with them safely without ingesting any harmful chemicals.
