I was a skeptic.
When I first heard about all natural remedies and essential oils I thought they were quack.
(Read on to hear my not so short story, or just skip to the end if you are already a believer.)
But I was desperate. Ever since my son was born, he seemed to pick up any cold within a hundred mile radius and introduce it to his lungs. A normal cold for any other kid, would go straight to his lungs and he had to be on breathing treatments just to get enough oxygen. This had happened about once a month since birth. What to do? I made my three other children wash their hands right when they got home from school, I stopped taking him out in public and when I went shopping, I loaded up my stroller instead of a grocery cart to try and protect him from coming into contact with more germs and getting sick again. These didn’t help.
I started panicking a bit when our trip to Disneyland got closer. How was I going to protect him from germs at Disneyland!?! I finally caved and called my friend (who had previously mentioned essential oils and I thought was crazy) for an emergency bottle of essential oil.
All Natural Remedies
I started rubbing his feet with essential oil a couple nights before we left and then every morning and night while we were there. Did it work? He started coughing the second day we were there and had a little runny nose. I kept rubbing. The next day it was gone. Coughing and runny nose ALWAYS lead to at least a week of being sick and most likely breathing treatments in the past. I couldn’t believe it. In fact I called our Dr. when the coughing started and he called in a prescription for treatments. I picked it up later that day, but never used it. He didn’t need it. Even our cousins that went with us got sick, but not my son. I should have trusted it then, but the skeptic in me still said it was a fluke. But I kept rubbing just in case. 😉 He has only been sick two times since I started rubbing his feet and even then, it was only for one – two days max and NO breathing treatments.
Could it be that he is just getting older and able to fight off the bugs better, sure. I am sure that is part of it. But that wouldn’t explain why my other kids haven’t gotten sick either. As soon as they complain of a sore throat or any mild symptom, I start rubbing their feet with Theives and it helps!. I have even been able to get rid of my own stomach aches with the digest blend and skin breakouts with melaleuca. I relied on Sudafed every time I had a stuffy nose until they started selling it behind the counter and it didn’t work anymore. I didn’t think anything else would work, until I tried Breathe. Cleared me right up. I don’t know, it seems like everything I try works. The more I talk about it, the more I meet people who have had the same experiences.
In fact, Alysha asked you to finish this sentence on facebook, The best tip I’ve learned for zapping a cold fast is……a lot of you said you use essential oils.
It is crazy and the skeptic in me still wants to say it is a fluke, and believe me, I am still looking for an excuse as to why it is working other than it actually works – but I haven’t found one yet.
I am not trying to cure anyone. I am just wanting to share something that has helped our family.
If you are ready to give it whirl, you can check out the products here.
Try it and you may. Try it and you may, I say.
Then come back and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your stories.

I didn’t know you thought I was crazy! 😉
Well, I’m glad you tried them and got to see the benefits in such a dramatic way.
I have loved using essential oils on my children for many years now and they rarely get sick. What a blessing!
When they do start to get the sniffles I blend equal parts of Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Melaleuca and put 3 drops on their pillow when they sleep. It rarely gets any worse and goes away quickly.
chrissy says
natural remedies are generally milder, with fewer side effects, and often have other benefits besides what’s being treated. as long as you’re using pure, high quality products, or, better yet, you’re growing your own, natural, as in herbal and nutritional remedies, can be your best source of improved health. i’m a convert and a believer after having relieved myself of gall bladder problems, eczema, migraines, and other problems without allopathic intervention.
Lara says
My little boy is the exact same way. The doctors assume he has childhood asthma, but he’s too young to test for it. EVERY time he gets a cold he gets a horrible cough that lasts for 2 weeks sometimes. We do breathing treatments with him every time he gets that horrible cough. I feel like it cripples our family. I can’t go anywhere, do anything. In January after our family had been sick for 6 weeks straight I caved and went and bought some on guard. I seriously didn’t think it would even work, but I too was desperate. I have been shocked, we haven’t been sick once since we started using the oils. I have bought a few more here and there and love every one. My husband was the biggest skeptic, and now he is begging me to get more because he takes them faithfully every day. I can’t say enough good about these oils. You have to try them to believe in them 😉
jennifer Eden Clark says
That is SO cool! The other thing that works really well if you do get a cough, sinus problems/infection, or a respiratory infection–including pneumonia is a respiratory blend and Lime together 1:1. I recommend either diffusing it when the person sleeps (or in the water in a humidifier) and/or diluting it in a vegetable, nut, or seed oil and putting on the chest and neck. I recommend a protective blend in conjunction with that on the bottoms of the feet.
Shelley says
I am a HUGE believer in natural remedies. I can’t wait to try essential oils.
Cristi says
I reently started using the Doterra oils and LOVE Them! I too was a bit of a skeptic when heard the word “essential oils” (mostly because I had no what that was) but I have seen the amazing benefits for fighting colds and preventing them to begin with!
I just got the Onguard toothpaste and Onguard foaming handwash in the mail the other day and LOVE them! Give them a try!
Cassie says
I use doTerra also, but was curious how you use melaluca for your breakouts? My face was doing good, but it all of a sudden got worse again. I think it was the lifelong vitality from doTerra I was taking. I stopped taking them because I ran out and didn’t want to pay for them again. I think that is what was helping to clear my skin, I am ordering more this month 🙂
jennifer Eden Clark says
You can use Tea Tree (Meleleuca) neat (undiluted) on pimples. Just put a drop in your hand, dip your finger in and dab it on. There are also several acne blends available. Sometimes a blend works better than single essential oils.
Cassie says
I have used melaluca with lavender on my face, I didn’t notice much difference. I will try the skin line if the LLV vitamins were not really helping my face 🙂
Nanci says
I will definitely have to try this. I have had asthma since I was five. I lived in Washington for 10 years and was exposed to mold on a constant basis so now each time I get a cold it does the same thing. Straight to my lungs and I have to get steroids, breathing treatment meds and antibiotics. I work in a grocery store and come in contact with people from all over the world because of the location of my store. Most of the people living in this area are from the Middle East or Asian countries so you can imagine what their travels bring back in the way of disease and illness. I figure in the event of a world plague I am either dead or have the immunity of Superman. Considering my cold effects I am thinking it will be the first. Thanks for the info.
jennifer Eden Clark says
Check my response above. There are respiratory blends that work great for asthma. Simply inhale them from the bottle or dilute them in fractionated coconut oil or other vegetable oil and rub on the chest. It’s great for helping with inflammation in the lungs.
What an interesting place you work! I bet it’s fun coming in contact with such a variety of people.
Jamie says
Jennifer, how about infants with food allergies…is there anything you would recommend trying for that? I have a 6 month old with a milk and soy allergy.
Nadia says
I’ve only just recently gotten into natural remedies, I used Wally’s Ear Oil from Whole Foods in desperation once for ear infections and haven’t looked back since. By the way – way to dis Asian people. We read this blog, too!! And just because we’re Asian doesn’t mean we can afford to travel all over the place and bring diseases back here. We’re hard working and children-loving and I love this blog! I quilt, I cross-stitch, I’m a stay at home Mom who cooks from scratch for my three little ones. I was born in Norway and raised in TX and am now in MA. But I’m still Asian!
Emily Beitz says
If you like those then you should become a Melalueca preferred customer. I have been for over a year now and love the over 350 products containing melaleuca oil. Everything from cleaning to pharmacy to makeup line etc. I will be glad to help you if you want more information just email me [email protected]
Alyssa says
Can Canadians buy/sell these? And if so, how much is the shipping 🙂
Cassie says
http://www.doterra.com/ca/ Here is the canadian website. Shipping in the US is $9.95 mininum through the post office. They have locations in different countries.
Christina says
DoTerra works! I swear by it!! I have many testimonial stories with them as well!!
Yemyem says
Yes, they ship to Canada! The cost depends on how much you order.
Sarah says
So crazy I just saw a pin on pinterest linking me to this post and I nearly fell off my chair. I literally just got some samples of these oils from a friend and I thought ya sure ok whatever I’ll try it but I too was skeptical. It has only been a week but I have been using the melaleuca on my acne (which is out of control like a teenager again) and I think it is actually working!!! Can’t guarantee this is the solution to my problem but I am very optimistic! I can’t wait to try some of the other oils now too!
katie says
I use tea tree oil when I brush my teeth. Just one drop along with your regular toothpaste (it doesn’t taste very good though). It has helped my gums so much that even my dental hygenist noticed. No more bleeding sore gums!
Kay says
Okay, I’m an oils preschooler here, but I’m willing to try anything at this point. My son gets sick all the time, and we too are on a nebulizer. I’m just confused about what I’m supposed to do. Use Breathe on his chest and On Guard on his feet? And do you use it even when they’re not sick, or start back up when something starts coming on?
Are there instructions included for beginners? 🙂 Sorry if I’m asking all obvious questions…
Missy says
No – not obvious at all – I was confused at first as well. But I just put about 1 tsp. coconut oil in my hand and then dropped two drops breathe and 1 drop lime and then rubbed it on his chest, neck, shoulders and upper back. I also rubbed 1 to 2 drops of on guard on his feet 1 – 3 times a day when he was sick. When he is not sick, I use the on guard on his feet when he is going in public or when traveling or when someone else in the house is sick. Jennifer told me you can also diffuse it in their room when cold season starts to help with prevention.
Brenda Jarjoura says
I have been using Doterra products for years! My absolute favorite is Deep Blue–in the roll-on bottle!!! Amazing for sore/aching muscles! I also love using Doterra’s diffuser in my living room!… So many fantastic options!
Analia says
So, its almost midnight and I am 38 weeks preggo and having the worst cold ever… fun! I remember your site for homemade remedies and decided to read about it again… I used the oils for my girls all the time and they work like magic, i have not idea why i haven’t use them for me yet! So slow today,,, I am going to blame the pregnancy and buggers on my brain!! I have all the oil and love them so… thank you for the remainder! I am sure i will be able to sleep if I use them!
Ty & Tracy says
My son, Ty has Down syndrome and along with that comes lots of illnesses, health quirks, gobs of medical testing and even more gobs of visits to doctors and specialists.
In my experience, doctors are constantly trying to get me to give Ty this medicine, or that medicine to help with xyz-illness, etc… When I was a new Mom, sure, I went along with it and pumped him full of any medicine I could get my hands on, all recommended by docs, of course. Now that Ty is 9 and I have 2 more little monsters, I’m stronger in my beliefs and able to stand up to docs nowadays and tell them, “no, thanks, we’ll stick with our more natural course”.
I found doTerra oils about 3 years ago in a fevered search for help with Ty’s Sleep Apnea. Trying to dodge the doctor recommended surgery, I tried Breathe on Ty at night and noticed a HUGE difference in his sleep and behavior during the day (due to the increased restful sleep) thanks to Breathe opening up his nasal passages. Due to the great outcome the Breathe had on Ty for sleep (& the Hubby’s snoring!), we gave Balance a try for focus in school, or anytime we go in public (restaurants, soccer games, bday parties, etc…). I have noticed a big shift in his behavior when he has Balance on. We also use Rosemary for migraines, Peppermint for upset tummies & Marjoram for seasonal allergies.
I swear by the oils I have tried and love testing new ones. Great post, looks like I need to give OnGuard a try, too!
Ty & Tracy says
Oops! I meant to leave my blog, Ty’s Adventures if you’d like to pop by & say HI! or just chat about essential oils some more 😉
http://www.tysadventures.wordpress.com
Krissy says
Oh wow! You guys sound like us – I have a 9 year old son with DS and 2 little monsters below him (Also one VERY scary pre-teen but that’s for another blog. :)) Aidan has had multiple surgeries and up until about 3 years ago was hospitalized every year for 2 weeks with respiratory distress. Right now, he’s sick again but I’ve opted not to take him to the dr. We have been giving him albuterol but I’d really like to find a more natural remedy which is what led me to this site. He’s vastly improved from 5 days ago but still has coughing fits, keeping us all up at night. I just ordered the OnGuard and Breathe this morning. In the meantime, I tried a steam bath with peppermint & lemon and rubbed oil of oregano w/ olive oil on his feet. I am SO new to this natural stuff so I just used what was in my house and followed some instructions. I am incredibly nervous about not taking him to dr. Everyone around me is strongly advising me to go. My hubby and I however are really trying to stick it out this time to see what happens. We have a pulse-ox & of course we wouldn’t be stupid – he’s not turning blue or anything. His fever has been gone for 3 nights now. It’s just that cough… Praying this will work. I will check out your blog about Ty! Take care!
Jennifer Eden Clark says
I really enjoyed reading about your experiences and successes. Thanks for sharing!
Jena says
Are any essential oils good for mood/temper in kids and also for Type 1 diabetes?
Jennifer Eden Clark says
Yes! There are many balancing and focus blends that people swear by.
There are some citrus happy blends that work great for teenage girls to smooth over some of that adolescent girl moodiness and such.
There are essential oils such as cinnamon that help to balance blood sugar levels.
All the best,
Jen
Serah says
My husband suffers from terrible allergies. He is always sucking and blowing and making some of the awfullest sounds that wake people in our house up from a dead sleep! Is there something you could suggest that will help him find some relief? He is totally miserable and stays that was from spring until winter. Thanks so much for anything you can suggest to help bring him relief!
Serah
Jennifer Eden Clark says
Serah,
There are a few things that can help. First is to use one of the respiratory blends diluted in vegetable oil: 1-3 drops essential oil in about ½ teaspoon vegetable oil in a cupped hand. He can put it over his sinuses and on his chest before sleeping by putting a small amount over the sinuses above the nose and eyebrows, across the bridge of the nose and under the eyes being very careful to avoid the eyes! 2-3 drops rubbed across his chest would also be good. You can also diffuse it in the air by putting 4-5 drops in a humidifier or cool (as in no heat) essential oil diffuser.
In conjunction with that, many people have success with 2 drops each lavender, lemon, and peppermint essential oils in a capsule and swallowed, 1 or 2 times a day. It works for me. You may have to take this for a couple days to see a response or it may be immediate. You can also put a few drops of lemon in water and drink that. It helps to dry up mucus.
You can find my book with all the basics of essential oil use on Amazon: Essential Oil Basics: A Simple Guide to Greater Health with Essential Oils
Essential Oil Basics: A Simple Guide to Greater Health with Essential Oils
jennifer Eden Clark says
Me again. To clarify – over the nose, means across the bridge of the nose. Under the eyes – would read better as below the eyes, just under the cheekbones. You never want to put essential oils any closer to the eyes than just above the eyebrows or just below the cheekbones. You also never put them directly into the ears or nose.
FYI – A proper use of essential oils in the ears is this. For earaches or ear infections a very effective remedy is to put one drop each of Lavender and Melaleuca (Tea Tree) on a cotton ball and place it in the affected ear. They are both antibacterial, and Lavender is also anti-inflammatory, a bit analgesic -to help with the discomfort, and soothing.
Shana says
Missy, how old is your son? My daughter is 17 month old and your post reads exactly like the last 6months of our lives – I am so glad I came across this post today! And like Kay’s comment below, I also wanted to check on whether you use the oils daily or just as needed in response to a cold…I will do whatever it takes to put the nebulizer away for good! Thanks 🙂 Shana
emily says
Can you make any recommendations to help a child with motor and vocal tics?
Jen says
Hi Emily,
My experience has been that tics are often caused by anxiety and/or stress. Do you think this is true in this case?
If so, then there are many oils which can alleviate those conditions. We can tailor the oil to the person with a little more information.
Jessica says
I too have recently discovered how awesome Essential Oils can be! We just got this same kit! I LOVE IT! I posted a baby wipes recipe I got from there magazine on my blog. It is amazing! My girls no longer get bumps and it helps with diaper rash too so I don’t have to buy diaper rash cream either! My girls just got a cold so I’m going to use lots of on Guard &Breath the next couple days to see if they can kick it. I used the breath in the humidifier last night and they didn’t cough as much so that’s good! So ya, thanks for sharing this post!
Jessica says
I must correct my spelling *Breathe*
And tell you I also LOVE the Lemon on too. (ok, all of them I’ve tried so far have been amazing!). I put a drop of lemon in my water thermos and I’ve got some awesome lemon water that helps boost my energy all day. There are so many uses it’s awesome! I just put the Breathe and On Guard on my girls just now and they stopped sniffling and coughing…I didn’t think it would be that quick!! I was also a HUGE skeptic but thought, what can it hurt to try right. I fall in love with everyone I try!
Sara B. says
I cannot possibly thank you enough for suggesting these essential oils, especially the OnGuard and Breathe! My 3 1/2 year old son has the exact same problem. Every time he gets sick it turns in to a breathing issue and now he’s on daily breathing treatments, ugh! I’ve become such a germaphobe because I’m so afraid of him getting sick. Can’t wait to try these!
Jenny says
I saw a product called In Tune…..how do you use it and has anyone tried it on their child? I have a 10 year old boy who is easily distracted but doesn’t have ADD. However I think he gets distracted a lot more then the average 10 year old. He’s currently on Fish Oil and it does seem to help.
jennifer Eden Clark says
That focus blend is pretty new so I haven’t heard a lot about how it’s being used or people’s successes yet. It comes in a roller bottle. They say the best place to use it is down the sides of the neck and down the spine.
Amanda says
Thanks for this info, I would LOVE to try these essential oils with my 3 lil ones! Do you know of any other brands that also make the “On Guard & Breathe” that works just as well? Thanks for your help 🙂
Tonya says
Too funny that I just found this. We moved to Oregon from Utah a year and a half ago. Every other week since we moved my 2 year old has had bronchitis. Awful bronchitis. No sleep and lots of coughing. We kept trying medicine after medicine. Flovent, singulair, claritin D, flonase. NOTHING was helping. My friend sent me a sample of onguard and breathe. I was totally skeptical. My husband’s a doctor and we believe in medicine. However, it wasn’t working. Nothing was. Desperate I started putting on the oils. She still got bronchitis, but the crazy part is that it turns her can’t breathe cough into a mild productive cough and we can SLEEP. It’s been a miracle in our house. She’s had bronchitis three times since we started using the oils and it’s not even 1/10th as bad as it used to be. I had to realize that even though she still gets sick, it’s not nearly as devastating on our family financially and mentally. These oils have been amazing! I’m anxious to learn more and more. Glad they worked for you too. Love your blog! 😉
Laura White says
I am in a similar situation with my 4 year old and 3 month old. 4 yr old is in preschool larttime and brings home EVERYTHING! The house has been sick pretty consistently since September. I have purchased On Guard and Breath after reading this testimonial. I can’t seem to find directions on doterra’s website regarding how to dilute to apply to children’s feet/chest. Also, concerned about safety for 3 month old. Would love more detailed directions, how much On Guard and what to dilute with to apply topically
jennifer Eden Clark says
Hi Laura,
I sent you an email but I’ll respond here too so other people can benefit.
I feel your frustration! Here are some answers.
Yes, you can use oils on your infant. For both children and for adults here are some guidelines.
Infant’s: 1 drop, Child’s dose: 1-3 drops, Adults: 1-5 drops
You can dilute essential oils with any vegetable oil (canola, olive, fractionated coconut, etc.) by putting a small amount in your cupped hand then adding the essential oil. Rub your hands together and apply to the bottom of the feet, or the chest, or the back (for the infant I’d stick with the feet). Besides applying to the chest for everyone you can also put 4-6 drops of essential oil in a cool mist humidifier and run it while the person sleeps.
For the ear infection you can try rubbing 1 drop of diluted Basil around the ear.
For the adults you could try the “bullet” for illness. It’s 2 drops each of Oregano, a protective blend, and Lemon in a capsule. Many people take it as soon as they feel something coming on to avoid getting sick. You would want to take this 2-3 times a day with a full glass of water followed by food until the symptoms are gone. Lemon is a mucolytic among other things so is great for colds. It is antibacterial.
Good luck! I hope you’ll be able to get some sleep! Equal parts (1 drop each) lavender, eucalyptus, and tea tree (also known as melaleuca) in the humidifier will help your little one sleep. If you make this blend in bulk using equal proportions, you can use one drop on the bed sheets at least 12″ from the head when they sleep or 1 drop on the shoulder of their shirt when awake if they are wearing multiple layers so it doesn’t soak through to their skin.
You can contact me through my website, LearnEssentialOils.com, if you have any questions.
Chris says
I’ve been wondering about doTerra for quite a while. One question I have, are essential oils safe for pregnant women?
jennifer Eden Clark says
Sorry I didn’t see your comment sooner.
Yes, they are for the most part. There is a wonderful book written by a midwife who uses essential oils from before pregnancy, to help with infertility and preparing your body, to using them on a newborn and postpartum mom.
Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Birth, & Babies by Stephanie Fritz
You can find a link on my website: LearnEssentialOils.com
Julie V says
I love the oils also. One thing that I have found is that Basil behind the ears on the bone has worked really well for my family when they get an earache.
Liz says
hi, quick question. I’m a new doterra user, I have three young kids, and it appears onguard is the best oil on them when they get sick&for prevention. my question – any suggestions for how to rub the oil on little ones feet without drying out mommas hands? thank you!
carinarg says
you ask “it can’t hurt”? well, actually IT CAN. you were lucky this time, but giving up traditional medicine in favor of aromatherapy, homeopathy, bach flowers and all that C*AP, CAN HURT.
jennifer Eden Clark says
It sounds like you’ve had a bad experience and I’m sorry.
Missy gave up the traditional medicine route, in this case, because it wasn’t working, in exchange for something that is working and isn’t hurting. It doesn’t mean she gave up traditional medicine all together. She didn’t. I haven’t.
It would be too bad to give up all of the alternative treatments because of a bad experience with one. Moderation is always best. Most people still have faith in traditional medicine even though people die from mistakes in it’s use.
Sarah Egan says
Serenity saved my sleep! When I started using it my daughter was 9 months old. She was waking up often during the night to nurse. I didn’t mind except that I was waking up exhausted every morning from not getting quality sleep. I decided to try the serenity blend. The first night I used it, despite being woken up a number of times, I woke up feeling refreshed and energized. Amazing!
Life long vitality supplements made me feel like myself again. Since my daughter (now 10.5 months) I have been dealing with post partum anxiety. I did what I could without medication. I exercised, ate well, talked to a counselor, and though these all made me feel better, I still didn’t feel like myself. I was taking my prenatal still but something told me I wasn’t getting what I needed from them. I started taking the life long vitality supplements and within a week I felt like myself again. Again, amazing!
Essential oils are life changing. I love them!
Chris says
I love oils, but have a question about the biz. Are individuals required to make an order each month (like with melaleuca)? In other words, if i don’t need product one month, does one get automatically shipped/billed to me? Also, since you seem to wanto to sign new consultants up, are you offering any discount on the $35, free products, trials, incentives, etc.
Thanks so much for the information!
Jasmine says
My sister in law sells doTerra and loves it, but the thing I am most curious about is the blend for women that is supposed to even out hormones etc…. But haven’t really heard any conclusive reviews on it? Wondering if anyone here has? Thanks! 🙂
Mayra@cellulite treatment cream says
I have been browsing on-line greater than
three hours as of late, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It’s pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever before.
Jessica wilkinson says
I work for Doterra on their research and product development team! I love reading stories of people discovering them and working to solve problems for them. I was the same skeptic at first to be honest 🙂
Corinne says
I LOVE essential oils and have been using them for years! I will be honest — I was not that impressed with the DoTerra brand of oils. I would recommend Butterfly Express (www.butterflyexpress.net). Their oils are pure, potent and extremely high quality! They sell carrier oils, tinctures, books, salves and all kinds of wonderful things!! Whichever company you use, essential oils is the way to go to protect your family!!
Gail Speis says
Hello, I am interested in becoming a consultant, could you contact me with how to go about it? Thank you- Gail
Missy says
Just email [email protected] and she will get you hooked up! She is fabulous to work with!
Susan says
There is a company out there besides DoTerra & Young Living (and butterfly express) that doesn’t require a distributorship, minimum monthly purchases, etc. It’s called Spark Naturals. Excellent quality, great customer service. They have a blend called Jeddy’s Blend that has been really helpful for those with focus problems whether it is ADD or menopause 😀 It was developed by a mom searching for help for her son. Terrific product. I’ve been very pleased with their products after having used doTerra. it is a LOT easier on my finances also.
Kimberly says
While I resoundingly profess the benefits of essential oils, I don’t recommend multi-level marketing businesses.
My roommate’s 3 year old got into some poison oak and got the blisters/rash along his waistline from his pants. The next morning she was going to take him to the dr. I suggested we try some tea tree oil on it in the meantime. By the next morning, all that remained was just a few faint red marks. After that, her two boys would come running asking for tea tree oil if they got a bump or a scratch. It saved her an expensive trip to the dr.
Joy says
I follow on pinterest.
Jennifer says
i just signed up today!! I am excited for it to come in the mail. I have been using the oils for a few months now and they make a big difference. I love peppermint and the hammer blend for my insomnia. I am hoping that I can try using one for my sons eczema and that there will be a big change. I am also looking forward to sharing the oils with friends and family and turning them on to what they can do for us.
Kera says
I love oilss whatever brand you decide is right for you and. Love that you do not say negative things about other co.
Katie says
Oh yes we agree. There’s lots of great brands out there! Doing what’s right for you is great advice.

Linda says
You’re showing Young Living oils but talking about doTerra oils, both excellent products, but the pictures are misleading.
Happy oiling!
Katie says
Oh, we love both oils…and would recommend them both.
Aubrey says
Hi, what do you use now? You listed two DoTerra Oils, but didn’t say what Young Living alternatives you now use…
Katie says
We think both companies have great oils in them! Just find what works best for you and go for it!
