I am sure by now you have heard about essential oils and maybe even have some friends who offer theirs up when you get a headache or start coughing.  You might kindly refuse wondering if your friend has gone a bit crazy? At least that is what I did when I first heard about them… “You mean to tell me that if I rub this oil around my kids’ ear a few times, his ear infection will go away?” uh huh. But you do it anyway, just to appease her thinking, it won’t hurt right? And then, what the?…it works! Your kid stops crying from the pain and 20 minutes later is back outside jumping on the trampoline. Interesting. Must be a fluke. But the next day you wake up with a scratchy throat and you call your friend and ask if she has any oils for keeping a cold away….and she does. 🙂

 My experience was actually a little more drastic than this even, you can read about it here. I am not in any way saying essential oils are a cure all or that I don’t believe in medicine anymore. I know they have their limits and I absolutely believe in and am grateful for medicine. But if I can kick something to the curb without using medicine, I much prefer it.  For example: I know a lot of people who have had success using essential oils to get rid of headaches but I haven’t found a combination of oils that works for me yet so I still grab two Advil. But I am not giving up, I will keep trying and hopefully I will find a combination that works for me. I have tried essential oils on enough other things now to know that they don’t always work the same for everyone. But I have seen them help enough times to want to keep trying.

So what are they and how do they help?

I won’t go into all the details in this post but it is interesting to read about and I think helpful to know how and why essential oils can help you. After I learned about and started having success using essential oils, I turned into the crazy friend offering them up to all my friends.:)

When I first asked Shelley and Alison about talking about them on HowDoesShe, they also thought I was a bit crazy, but were happy they were helping my family so they let me. 🙂 BUT now that they have had a chance to try them out, they LOVE them as well!

We have had a lot of people ask us what our favorite essential oils are and how we use them so….here they are!

Shelley

MELALEUCA (tea tree oil)
My husband has horrible sinus and allergy problems. He feels constant pressure in his nasal passage and forehead. Nightly he asks for 1-2 drops of melaluca and peppermint to be rubbed on his nose and forehead. He always comments on the instant relief of pressure it provides. It clears up the congestion and helps him sleep well. The Melaleuca is known for fighting infection and the peppermint promotes healthy and clear breathing.
LAVENDER, THIEVES (respiratory blend), LEMON
I also rub lavender and lemon on his back to help him relax.
LAVENDER
My son loves lavender before bed. I think he likes the back rub the most. 😉
PEPPERMINT
I use for headaches: a drop or two rubbed over wherever the pain is

Alison

Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense

I like to use equal drops of lavender, peppermint and frankincense. It helps with tension, stress and headaches.

Oregano
I was in another country on a business trip about a month ago and I came down with an awful cold.  It took me out for about 3 days.  I was nervous that my family was going to get it.  I rubbed their feet with a drop of oregano per foot each night and they didn’t get it!
THIEVES (respiratory blend)
My son likes this blend for when he gets stuffy.

Missy

I love

THIEVES

the most because they have helped my son so much. Some others I have tried and had success with:

BASIL

For earaches / ear infections. Sounds weird, but I have used on two of my kids who were crying with pain in their ears. I assumed it was because of an ear infection. I rubbed a couple drops on the outside (never inside) of the hurting ear and put a few drops on a cotton ball and held it over the hurting ear until the pain went away. The pain went away within minutes. I repeated a few more times that day just to be safe.

PEPPERMINT

I didn’t know I was a peppermint scent lover, until I tried this oil. It is by far one of my favorite scents now (lime being a close second). I can’t describe how pure and clean and yummy it smells. I use this in the car mostly for car sickness. When anyone starts feeling queezy, I pass back the bottle and have them take some deep breaths with the bottle under their nose. On longer trips or windy roads as prevention, I drop a couple drops on a cotton ball and stuff it in the air vent – it smells SO good!

Peppermint

  A few TIPS:

1. Be sure to dilute essential oils in a carrier oil (I use coconut oil) as you first use them until you know how your skin reacts.

2. When I first started using essential oils I wanted a prescription. “Take two of these every 4 hours”. Something like that because that is what I was used to from medicine. Essential oils are different. They are super potent and although it seems weird, a drop or two is all you need at one time. Then you just repeat a few times a day until the problem goes away.

3. I mostly rub them on the bottom of my feet. I guess your feet have a ton of veins so it is a way to get the oils into your system quickly. Your skin is also more tough there so if you have sensitive skin, you are less likely to have irritations on your feet.

4. I also love to use them for cleaning. To see how I use them to clean, see this post.

5. I have started experimenting with using them for cooking. My favorite recipe so far is for super easy and super yummy FUDGE.

    So far, my favorite essential oil scent is Lemongrass. Its awakening scent is lovely. I like adding it to olive oil, to wipe across my wood tables. There’s so many scents I would love to try, like Clove and Grapefruit!

    I’ve recently just gotten into essential oils (or witch potions as my husband jokes) and I’m obsessed! I love Lavender for calming the littles down for bed. I love diffusing On Guard when somebody is sick or after we have visitors over. I also love creating all purpose cleaners with Peppermint, Lemon, and On Guard. The options and benefits are endless with oils!

      My fave oils are melaleuca, lavender and euceliptus. I know, strange but I’m new to using the oils, and these ones were the first oils I bought to help me when I had a really bad case of Shingles. They helped a lot! I’m excited to try citrus bliss, lime and peppermint!

    I agree essential oils are wonderful. However, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t use those oils neat on your skin!!!! Always dilute them in a carrier oil even after using them a few times. Essential oils can cause a burning reaction on your skin. As a registered Aromatherapist I can’t believe anyone would tell you to not dilute them first–every time!!!

    I’ve been wondering about essential oils, but haven’t tried them yet. I’d love to try melaleuca. It seems like it can do so much! Frankincense, on guard, pepper,int, orange, all sound like they are worth trying. Fun giveaway. Thank you!

I use Maleluca on my face (in a carrier lotion), take Oregano when I start to feel ill (in pill form), and use Lavender in the bath. It’s hard for me to pick just one that I am excited to try, but if I had to choose, I would choose Basil. I tend to get ear aches a lot (yes, as a grown adult). I also would like to start diffusing (haven’t done that yet) as I hear it gives great results. Love EO’s, still so much to learn!

I could not be without my oils!!!!

    I swore by onGuard this winter. We had a very rough go of it until New Years when I tried this oil as a last ditch effort. Nothing could keep my kids healthy, but this was a turn around. My husband thought I was crazy and disliked the smell, but the kids looked forward to their nightly foot rub with ‘orange oil’. I am very excited to try Breathe. Allergies are often challenging in out house, particularly for my little guy who suffers with asthma. Would love to hear how others use the oils.

    I use essential oils for everything. They truly are amazing! My all time favorite has to be peppermint oil. I struggle with fibromyalgia and it helps me to function. We use it for headaches and tummy aches as well. We use tea tree oil a lot for any skin acne….great having three teens. ;). And we use lavender a lot. It’s great for mixing with a bath or lotion as a night time aid but it has helped clear up my daughter’s eczema. In fact, our mini schnauzer gets a regular spritz due to his skin allergies. I could go on and on but those are my favorites.

    My most favorite oil is lavender. I like to use it in my bath water right before going to bed. My second favorit is peppermint, however, I’ve never tried it as an essential oil only in lotions or bath gels.

    I would like to try Melaleuca. My middle son severly suffers with allergies (he needs to be placed in a ball). His allergies are so it affects his schooling. He can’t breathe from being so stuffy, he has a skin rash, he can’t hear from his ears being clogged. He’s always so aggravated because he can’t go out and play with his brothers or kids in the neighborhood. We’ve tried all types of OTC meds and precritptions and I feel like he’s a guinea pig. I would like to approach organic and home remedies. Hopefully the Melaleuca would work.

    I would also like to try Frankincense for myself, I’m a single mom with three sons and trying to build my cake business from the ground up with no help. It gets quite stressful at times.

I have Lavendar and Tea Tree oils also that I use in recipes for cleaning, air freshening, pet medicating, body scrubs, lotions and salts. I would love to expand and try some more! Lemon, Breathe, Digestzen and On Guard are the ones I hope to get next. Do you have any tips or info on diffusers? Would love to get your input on that!

    Hi
    I follow your pinterest board and really like the DoTerra oils, I am currently using OnGuard to fend of all sorts of bugs as my children are in constant contact with other children and I have managed to keep them away from the recent tummy bugs that are going around. I have also helped my husband who was suffering from a chest infection with Breath – I used it in a vapourizer and he had a good nights sleep and felt much better after that. Thank you for sharing all your posts I really enjoy the newsletter.

    When I had a hysterectomy I immediately out of anestitia rubbed lavender oil on my stomach and around my incisions I never took pain meds just rubbed every 15 minutes. My md was amazed and when I told her what I did she understood and stated she wished more people would decline the narcotics and rub oils.

    I am new to essential oils & I love them! I use them for cleaning, in our laundry and for anything that may be ailing my family. But may FAVORITE way to use them is in a diffuser – I have one in each of our bedrooms & in the kitchen. In our bedrooms I use different oils, maybe on guard if someone is feeling a cold coming on or lavender for calming. They even have a serenity blend that I enjoy for a peaceful night. In the kitchen I like to use the citrus blend for the great scent & it also has antibacterial properties. Try these oils, I think you’ll love them!

    I am a NICU nurse, and witnessed a miracle with essential oils not long ago. I was caring for an infant less that a day old. This babe was born to a drug addicted mother, and so I was observant of signs of withdrawal. Sometimes these symptoms don’t apear for several hours or days after birth. Well, late that afternoon this poor baby became inconsollable, and very qickly. Another co-worker who uses essential oils came to help. She applied a few drops of Lavender to her own hands, then just brought the scent in next to my patient. Immediately, this Infant calmed down, and the body relaxed. There was instant relief of the tension and pain that so suddenly overcame this baby. We were able to calm this Infant down long enough to seek appropriate medical attention. I’ve been a NICU nurse for nearly 10 years, and have never seen anything like it.

    I just recently started using essential oils when I heard they could help my ADHD girly. I really like the smell of Serenity and my daughter loves the peppermint. She even applies her InTune herself when she feels she needs a boost.

    My favorite oil so far is Baobab which I mix with coconut oil for a night cream on my face. It feels so good and I swear my fine lines have diminished!

    My Mum used to use them back when I was a kid – before it was cool! She used lavender to aid sleep, rosemary when I was studying for a test to aid memory and tea tree for acne and infections.

    Native American Nutritionals Respiratory Ease is one of my favorites. Works better than an inhaler for my18 month old.

    I have used peppermint more than anything else. When I had plantar faciitis my MIL told me to rub it on my feet and it finally, after trying lots of things, stopped hurting. That was awesome! I recently tried lemon – just adding it to the water I drink and the scent is so heavenly! I would love to try Melaleuca or Frankincense next! Starting to get excited about these oils! Thanks for the chance to win!

    I have never tried doTERRA oils, but my aunt is always rubbing YL oils on me when I’m with her. We call her the witch doctor, but it works!
    I love peppermint scents for energizing, and have used tea tree oil to clean my Yoga mat.
    My husband has terrible seasonal allergies, and I would love to win a set to try out on him so he can get off of all of his prescriptions!

    I just got my first 3 doTerra oils (peppermint, lavender, lemon) and I’m experimenting with them–I love the idea of a lavender back massage for my son before bed! I also have and infant who is having trouble settling down at night for sleep, so maybe tonight I will put some lavender in his humidifier and see if that helps. Thanks!

Besides all the health benefits there are just as many beauty, just an FYI, for you and all your readers!! P.S. Just a shout out to let you know how AWESOME I think you girls are!!

    I am love using essential oils because of it’s aroma. Whenever I get a massage because of back and muscle pains or just simply to relax I always require essential oils especially lavender, I just love how the oil feels on my skin and smelling it’s scent just takes all my stress and worries away. I’m yet to try other extracts because I’m quite happy with lavender that’s why I’m staying loyal to it, I’m not sure if I’ll like other variants since I’m very much in love with the scent of lavender already.

    I am just now seeing this and wanted to add in case someone else hasn’t in all the comments. Tea Tree oil is great for healing burns, scrapes and such. Clove oil is wonderful for toothaches. My dentist was the one who told me about it.
