Do you want safer, cheaper, more effective healthcare? We have two choices when it comes to treating illness…modern medicine or nature’s medicine. Over the past few years I’ve slowly replaced all of my modern medicines with essential oils. I used them during my pregnancy to ease my symptoms and now that my son is born they’re helping him too. I love that there is a natural alternative for healing my family.
Modern vs. Nature’s Medicine
Modern medicine…
- Designed to manage symptoms
- Made from isolated synthetic agents
- Side effects (some unknown)
- 4.5 Trillion/yr. is spent on global healthcare
- Are we healthier today because of it?
Nature’s Medicine…
- Helps minimize symptoms, addresses the root causes
- Made of hundreds of natural compounds found in plants that enhance physical and emotional health
- Safe benefits without side effects
- Pennies per dose, no time/$ at the doctor, and no copay
Did you know that essential oils are:
- 50-70 times more powerful than herbs
- Inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses
- The plant’s own natural medicine cabinet
There are three ways to use essential oils:
1. Aromatic:
- Breathe in or use diffuser to:
- Kill germs in the air
- Open airways
- Affect mood, including depression
2. Topical:
Apply to head, feet, ears, chest, back of the neck, and or troubled areas. From the bottom of the feet, enter the bloodstream to affect the entire body within 30 seconds.
3. Internal:
- Taking internally is specific to Doterra oils
- Take under the tongue, in a gel capsule, or in water
- Relieves issues in the digestive system, mouth, throat, and liver

Tips for treating with oils:
- Use common sense
- Use the Modern Essentials Reference Guide (book)
- Use oils frequently with an acute problem (every 15 minutes)
- Use oils a couple times per day with a chronic problem
- Use caution with sensitive skin, and keep oils out of the eyes and ears
- For sensitivity, dilute or neutralize with coconut oil, not water
Yeah, but aren’t oils super pricey?
Believe it or not it’s actually cheaper to treat your family with essential oils than all that you would need from the drug store to treat the same symptoms.
Why doTERRA oils rule:
- Plants are grown and harvested in their natural habitat
- Each liter of oil undergoes multiple 3rd party laboratory testing
- Tests ensure oils are pure, genuine, authentic, and potent
- Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade is beyond organic, verified pure, free of fillers, pesticides, and foreign contaminants
