Rosemary Essential Oil and Monday Mornings!

Ah the aroma of Rosemary! What a pleasant scent it has, while we cook our roasts and sauces. I knew Grandma’s Sunday dinner was going to be amazing when I was a kid.  As an adult, I learned to use rosemary in many different things. Now that I use essential oils, I’ve discovered new ways to incorporate the health benefits of Rosemary, without having to cook a meal.

I have learned about so many of the great benefits that essential oils can have on your life.  I have seen the personal benefits in my own everyday life.

Now, again I want to stress, essential oils cannot cure illness, or should not replace medication prescribed by your doctor.  The FDA has not approved any statements of how essential oils can work for you.  These are all my own personal experiences with the oils, and of those I know who use essential oils in their daily life.  With all that said, let’s get back to talking about Rosemary essential oil.

Monday mornings, are always my sluggish day.  It just seems so difficult to wake up on Monday morning.  I personally grab my cup of coffee and sit at my desk to begin my day.  Surprisingly coffee is not the “wake up” magic I had hoped it would be.  Oh I love the taste of my coffee in the morning, but my morning blast comes from Rosemary essential oil.

Yes you heard that correctly.  Diffusing Rosemary oil, gives me a much better “bang” in the morning, then any coffee or caffeinated beverage.  Caffeine we all know is not good for us. If we can find better ways to “wake up” in the morning, that would be so much better for our overall heath.

Rosemary has been shown to have properties that help with healthy digestion, respiratory functions, and helps to reduce nervous tension and fatigue.

I use Rosemary in my diffuser.  I add just a few drops of  oil to the water and  turn the diffuser on. The scent of Rosemary covers my office. Add a little sunshine to the mix and suddenly, I feel like I can make it through the day! Since Rosemary has been known to relive tension too, my work day goes by so much smoother.

I really recommend you start diffusing that Rosemary.  If you don’t know where to get Rosemary essential oil, let me know, I can help you with that.  If you want it for the whole sale price, I can help you with that too!  Any diffuser can work, just pick one that you like and start diffusing today!

After you try the Rosemary, let me know on my Facebook page or here on my blog, what you like about Rosemary essential oil.

Essential Oils

Hey folks, sorry it’s been so long since my last blog.  Time just got away from me.

As you know, I started out with Lavender as my first essential oil. Lavender has helped me in many ways, starting with helping me to sleep, healing bruising, and even minor burns from cooking!

Later, I was gifted with doTERRA’s On Guard protective blend product.  This has many great uses, but really helped me tackle the ticks while living in a heavily wooded area.  My Pups were getting them daily. Whenever I applied On Guard to their legs and pads of their feet, the ticks were no longer a problem.

Finally, I took the plunge into purchasing the Family Physician® Kit.   This kit contained a collection of ten nurturing essential oils, including six single oils and four blends. The kit had: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Melaleuca, Oregano, Frankincense, Deep Blue®, Breathe, DigestZen®, and On Guard.

At the same time I received the Family kit, I was presented with so many essential oil recipes to aid in my all over health that I became a true believer in the oils.

I started washing my clothes in the On Guard Laundry detergent.  Now I don’t have that sweet flowery smell anymore.  You know the one that surely means it clean.  No, my clothes just smell clean. I no longer use fabric softener either. That is a blog for another time.

My clothes will last longer without all the man-made chemicals, after all I put them through enough stress. Mind you, it was not easy to switch to Essential oils for laundry, I was very true to my name brand for almost as long as I have been married.

After some calculations, it’s not cheaper to use essential oils, and if you compare 60 loads to 60 loads, it does cost a little more.  However, let’s think about this for a minute. Chemicals are harsh on materials.  So in the long run, my clothes, in theory should last longer. I truly believe they will.

Essential oils can be pricey.  I was recently told by someone they couldn’t purchase doTerra from me, since they could purchase essential oils at the store, for way cheaper.  Look, I agree, you can buy the oils from health stores, grocery stores, discount stores, even Amazon.  Keep in mind, you don’t know what you may be getting.  Can you ensure these oils are 100% pure?

I have seen that you can purchase doTERRA oils through Amazon.  Let me tell you where those come from.  Those same oils are from some people who sell doTERRA.  These sellers are selling their earned product they get for free! (doTERRA frowns upon seller who sell through Amazon.) What did I just say? You can get free oils? Yes, that’s another day’s blog.  There may even be some sellers who are masking their product under the doTERRA name, but it’s not really doTERRA.  Buyer beware as they say.

All I’m saying here, is do your homework.  Essential oils are fabulous.  My next blog will share how you can diffuse oils everyday.

If you’re interested in learning more about doTERRA, give me a call.  I will be happy to share the benefits I have found in doTERRA essential oils.
