TTMA: Essential Oils

[Lola]

Ive been thinking about starting to use EO's. I have a friend selling Doterra. Is it worth it to buy that brand? Where do you get yours from? What do you use them for?


(I googled essential oil gif, this is what came up!)

I get mine from Young Living. They've got a starter pack that's good for trying several out. I like Thieves for various cleaning things around the house, frankincense for my c-section scar, peace and calming for just that, purification when people are sick, peppermint for nausea, and lemon for repelling Mosquitos. That's just for starters.

I use a few oils, peppermint and eucalyptus for allergies. And lavender for sleeping. It's mainly DH that uses them right now since I get up so much in the middle of the night and peppermint can mess with milk supply, but we both think they help quite a bit. Only bad thing is you have to keep applying them for allergy relief as they wear off.

I have doTerra oils because that's what a friend of mine ordered, but if I buy more I will probably look into Young Living because I've read that they have stricter standards for their oils. For instance if they get a batch that doesn't hold up to their quality control they will have an oil that you just can't get for awhile instead of selling it.

Thanks Ladies! I am going to give them a try. And I might try the healthy home thing too.
