ESSENTIAL WELLNESS JOURNEY

EMPOWERING A HEALER IN EVERY HOME

Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, asks us to look at the WHOLE body when analyzing health: the physical body, the mind, and the heart. When we use the term “medicine” in Ayurveda, it refers to anything we take in through our senses.

YOUR PLANT ALLIES

 LAVENDER

Lavender supports us when we experience any inability to speak our truth because of past experiences in our lives. She addresses any fear around expressing something, but withholding the deeper meaning of it. She helps us face our emotional honesty in all situations and communicate from this found truth.

LAVENDER ENCOURAGES:

• communication

• calm

• expression

• honesty

• self-awareness

• peace of mind

PRACTICES + ROUTINES + RITUALS + USES:

• add 1-2 drops each of lavender, peppermint, and lemon to warm water with local honey to ease allergies

• drop 1-2 drops onto your palm, rub hands together, and inhale deeply

• add 5-8 drops to a bath with epsom salts

• for any burn (sunburn or a burn from actual heat/flame), mix a few drops with coconut oil or fractionated coconut oil (coconut oil with no fat - so it’s less oily), and apply to burns

• add to face lotions or toners to calm and freshen skin

• mix with oils for your Ayurvedic Abhyanga Practices or into your lotions

 FRANKINCENSE

Frankincense is obtained from the sap of the Boswellia tree and it’s considered The King of Essential Oils. Apart from it being one of the three gifts in The New Testament, the Babylonians and Assyrians would burn Frankincense in religious ceremonies. The ancient Egyptians also used Frankincense resin for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. The complex chemistry if Frankincense contributes to supporting the diverse types of cells in the body. It’s also helpful in wound healing, treating scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks.

This powerful oil revels false truths and invites us to release lower vibrations and energy that’s no longer serving us. It supports us in creating a healthy relationship with the masculine roles throughout our lives and finding peace in those relationships. Frankincense works like a shield to protect us from negative forces and influences that come in and out of our lives.

FRANKINCENSE EASES:

• spiritual darkness

• negative emotions around our fathers

• negative emotions around male figures or masculine energy in our lives

• feelings of spiritual abandonment

PRACTICES + ROUTINES + RITUALS + USES:

• take one drop beneath your tongue each day (make sure you are aware of the quality before taking internally)

• drop 1-2 drops onto your palm, rub hands together, and inhale deeply

• diffuse about 8 drops during your meditation or prayer time

• mix with facial toners, oils, and lotions to prevent and help current skin imperfections - Frankincense mixes well with Lavender for this!

• drop 1-2 drops on the crown of your head to raise the quality of your meditation + prayer times - oils applied to the crown of the head move directly into the brain, nourishing all tissues, thoughts, and ideas

• apply to pulse points throughout the day to continue receiving beenfits

 LEMON

Lemon oil supports the health of the respiratory and digestive system and also engages the mind and aids in concentration. It takes about 45 lemons to produce one 15 ml bottle of lemon essential oil, so our oil is very potent! Lemon oil is made from the rinds of lemons and is one of our most versatile oils with many ways to use. She teaches us to be mentally present, focusing on one thing at a time. Lemon oil calms fears and insecurities + restores confidence. Emotionally, lemon encourages a lightness and playfulness in the heart and brings about uplifting moods.

LEMON ENCOURAGES:

• joy

• mental clarity

• energy

• alertness

• overall wellness + happiness

PRACTICES + ROUTINES + RITUALS + USES:

• drop 1-2 drops in your morning warm/hot water for a morning detox (make sure you are aware of the quality before taking internally)

• make a soft scrub cleaner for your kitchen and bathroom (CLICK HERE for recipe)

• use to clean phone + computer charger wires

• diffuse during the day to promote feelings of energy and happiness

• drop 1-2 drops into palms, rub together and inhale anytime you feel exerted from work or studying

• add to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces

• make a furniture polish by adding a few drops to olive oil to clean, protect, and shine wood finishes

• use a few drops on a cloth during the early stages of tarnish on silver and other metals

 PEPPERMINT

Peppermint reminds us that this life can be full of happiness and that we do not need to be controlled by fear. She helps us to stay above emotions that tend to bring us down and wear us out. Peppermint has a way of giving us permission to dance through our day and rise beyond negativity and lower emotions. She helps us recover the joy of being alive when we’re feeling down, so it’s important to make sure we aren’t using her as a way to escape real problems and fears. Think of her as a “breather” or a “rest stop” when we need it and as an ally to join us when we need to reenter a difficult situation. Peppermint is that friend that holds our hand when we’re in the shallow water and need that boost to make it into the ocean.

PEPPERMINT EASES:

• heavy-heartedness

• intense dispair

• deep anguish

• sadness

PRACTICES + RITUALS + ROUTINES + USES:

• diffuse through your home when you need an afternoon pick-me-up or during/after cleaning to promote ultimate freshness

• dilute 1-2 drops with a carrier oil and rub on chest, shoulders, back of neck

• put a drop of Peppermint with Lemon in water for a healthy, refreshing mouth rinse (make sure you are aware of the quality before using)

•  Make this invigorating body scrub (recipe lovingly sourced from my friends at The Sister Science)

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil 

  • 10 drops Peppermint oil 

• Sip on a hot or cool peppermint-cacao or cocoa drink (recipe lovingly sourced from my friends at The Sister Science)

  ​Blend together:

  • 1 cup water

  • 3 cups oat milk

  • 5 teaspoons cacao or cocoa powder

  • 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup​ (or to taste!)

  • 2 drops peppermint oil

 TEA TREE

Tea Tree, or “Melaleuca” has over 90 different compounds and limitless applications. The leaves of the Tea Tree have been used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for centuries. It’s extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca shrubs or trees, which have a strong aroma when rubbed. Tea Tree oil is produced through the process of steam distillation where steam and pressure are used to release chemical components from the plant—pulling out the essential oil. Tea Tree is known for cleansing us on this physical plane, but it also is extremely powerful for cleansing the energy around us. It’s an oil of energetic boundaries and clears energetic baggage. It releases codependent relationships from our lives and moves all toxic relationships away from us. Tea Tree breaks the ties we have to the negative relationships we have formed, creating the space to create healthy connections that support our personal space, energy, and boundaries. She allows us to relinquish forms of self-betrayal (especially in the form of allowing others to take away our time, energy, talent).

TEA TREE ENCOURAGES:

• healthy + respectful connections

• self empowerment

• safety

• resiliency

• energetic boundaries

PRACTICES + RITUALS + ROUTINES + USES:

• add several drops into a spray bottle and mist around your home to clear negativity and promote safety

• add a few drops to a glass spray bottle filled with witch hazel and use after shaving to sooth razor burn and prevent bumps + ingrown hair

• diffuse in home to purify and freshen the air

• inhale from the bottle or place a drop in your hand to inhale when you need to set boundaries or remind yourself of your power + resiliency

 OREGANO

Oregano cuts negative attachments, removes blocks, and breaks through an individuals strong will (when it’s causing harm or preventing us from learning + growing) to teach humility. She expels materialism and attachments that prevent us from moving forward. When we use oregano, we may be inspired to bring a toxic relationship to and end, to leave a job that no longer serves us, or stop a destructive habit. She teaches us how powerful and important cultivating non-attachment can be.

OREGANO EASES:

• negative attachments

• feelings of too much pride

• being too opinionated

• materialistic tendencies

• controlling behavior

PRACTICES + RITUALS + ROUTINES + USES:

• inhale directly from bottle

• add 1 drop or less and apply to feet - this is especially helpful during the colder months or when you are experiencing poor circulation that results in cold feet

• add 1 drop to water and gargle at first signs of sore throat

• add 1 drop or less when a recipe calls for oregano

• For a quick and easy all-purpose cleaner, put 10 drops of Oregano oil into a 16-ounce spray bottle with water. Due to Oregano’s chemical makeup, it is a powerful cleansing and purifying agent. This simple spray is great for surfaces and countertops, even natural stone.

• add 1 drop to water and drink or add 1 drop to a veggie cap to boost immunity

BUSINESS ESSENTIALS

Do you feel inspired to share doTERRA products to create residual income, or even replace a job? When I began more advanced studies in Ayurveda, I realized how these oils are true plant allies and I could use them to make my own self-care products, household cleaners, put them in my food + drinks, and slowly replace many toxic products I’d been using every day with these powerful plant essences. I use every oil in The Healthy Start Kit on either a daily or weekly basis (CLICK HERE to discover how I use them). I choose doTERRA for many reasons, but the main reason is their Co-Impact Sourcing. doTERRA® Co-Impact Sourcing® is committed to supplying the highest quality essential oils while making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, distillers and their communities. With a dedication to a transparent and ethical supply chain, Cō-Impact Sourcing works to build stable livelihoods while supporting the overall health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
