Today's BOGO SALE is, in my opinion, the best this week so far!

BUY ONE 10ml Frankincense Touch +
GET ONE 10ml Jasmine Touch FREE!


Frankincense in known as the King of Oils! And Jasmine is known as Queen of the Night!
These essential oils been revered for centuries, valued more than gold, other precious metals and stones, used by royalty and in sacred rituals + religious ceremonies. 

Frankincense comes from the resin of the Frankincense trees in Oman. It drove early world trade. In the Ayurvedic tradition, it's been used to strengthen the immune system, for people with arthritis and to heal wounds. It's got proven anti -septic and -inflammatory properties! And it has been traditionally used as a remedy for a wide various issues including leprosy, toothaches and oral care, asthma, anxiety, ulcers, hypertension, nausea, fever, indigestion, chest coughs, cancer post-childbirth recovery and used to anoint the newborn. Diffused or burning the resin even keeps away mosquitoes and other flying insects, which has prevented malaria outbreaks!

Here is a video I recorded a while back for  Oil Camp, a 2 week Facebook essential education program my doTERRA team and I offer to our clients! If you are enrolled with me and you haven't taken this course yet, please send me a private message and I will get you into the next course which starts on August 1st! This course teaches you how to use your products, resources to find information and teaches you how to use your account and all the benefits of having a wholesale account! Plus you can win prizes for making comments and doing the simple challenges!
Essential oils have the ability to trigger the mind, memories, emotions and feelings. And Jasmine reminds me of when I lived in India! That was such a special + transformative time in my life and when I use Jasmine, I am immediately taken back this those precious times in my life when I was blessed to study with my Guruji, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and his family, and began to really explore subtle energy and various healing modalities. 

Jasmine, has been thought to have originally started growing in the sacred Himalayan Mountains. It too was highly valued by peoples of times past and was traded along the Silk Road. It's luscious, seductive scent stimulates sexual energy, sensuality and subtle energies of being. It was used as an elixir, a tea, drank to invoke relaxed + passionate feelings, as it has anti depressant qualities to it. It's balancing to the emotions + hormones. When studied, it's been discovered to promote beta waves in the brain associated with mental alertness + clarity. 

It has also traditionally been used for insomnia, depression, anxiety, spasms, liver issues, diarrhea, cancer, infection prevention, coughs, scars, skin issues, like ezcema, hair, women's issues, hormones, promotes ease in childbirth + lactation.... To name just a few.

In the words of Peter Holmes, medical herbalist, clinical aromatherapist, practitioner of Chinese medicine, and respected author, “we’re all survivors of trauma. Western culture has a deep need for Jasmine. Our individual sensual repression and our social sensual deprivation in the alienated Western lifestyle cry out for the sensuous euphoria that jasmine provides. The Queen of the Night can connect us to the feminine source of life, presently stirring from a deep, unconscious sleep. Her night-blooming pearls can lead us once again to the fragrant dawn that we yearn for.”

I've already gotten my BOGO for today! I'm stocking up!

Melaleuca is the Latin name for Tea Tree. It grows as bushes and trees. This oil is distilled from the leaves of this tree. It originated in the medicinal traditions of the Aboriginal people in Australia + New Zealand, when they discovered feeling invigorated and uplifted when they would crush the leaves between their fingers and inhale! 

On an Emotional + Energetic level it:

-Builds confidence and strength
-Uplifts the spirit
-Combats feelings of victimization

It has cleansing + purifying properties! It's an EO I keep with me at all times in my First Aid / Travel Kit!
I use it for cleansing wounds, infections, skincare, haircare, supports my immune system, in my DIY house cleanser and more!!!


Therapeutic Properties:
"Airborne antimicrobial: Tea Tree is well suited to diffusion as an aerial antiseptic. It has an outstanding effect against a wide spectrum of microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus species (including MRSA), dermatophytes and Candida species (Lang and Buchbauer 2012). Edward-Jones et al. (2004) demonstrated that the vapors of Tea Tree in conjunction with Geranium were the most active against MRSA of all the oils and combinations investigated.

Analgesic: Tea Tree can reduce pain. One of its significant components—terpinen-4-ol —has anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive actions (Guimarães et al. 2013). 

Anti-acne: Tea Tree oil has excellent potential in the treatment of acne because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions (Enshaieh et al. 2007). It reduces the number of lesions. The components, including terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, and α-pinene, are active against Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes (Sinah et al. 2014).

Antihistaminic: see anti-inflammatory 
Anti-inflammatory: Terpinen-4-ol has anti-inflammatory action (Lahlou et al. 2003). Tea Tree and terpinen-4-ol can alleviate allergies by suppressing histamine release and cytokine production (Edris 2007).

Antibacterial: See airborne antimicrobial and anti-acne.

Antifungal: Tea Tree is active against dermatophytes, and can be blended synergistically with Lavender (Cassella, Cassella and Smith 2002). It is also active against clinical Candida species, as is its component 1,8 cineole (Kordali et al. 2005). Ramage et al.(2012) demonstrated that Tea Tree’s principal component, terpinen-4-ol, reduced the expression of interleukin-8, a major inflammatory mediator in oropharyngeal candidiasis. They also suggested that there may be a synergistic effect between eugenol in Clove oil and terpinen-4-ol.

Antispasmodic: Terpinen-4-ol is anti-inflammatory and also antispasmodic (Lahlou et al.2003). See also expectorant and vasodilator.

Antiviral: Mixtures of some monoterpenes in Tea Tree oil have significantly greater antiviral action and lower toxicity than individual isolated monoterpenes (Astani, Reichling and Schnitzler 2010). Tea Tree oil has an inhibitory effect on a subtype of H1N1, and shows promise in the treatment of influenza, having replication at non-cytotoxic concentrations (Garozzo et al. 2009).
Decongestant: See expectorant.

Expectorant: One of the components, 1,8 cineole, has an expectorant effect (Ulmer and Schott 1991 cited by Bowles 2003). Tea Tree essential oil and terpinen-4-ol can suppress histamine release and cytokine production, which cause allergic symptoms (Brand et al.2002; Koh et al. 2002). This may in turn help prevent bronchoconstriction in cases of allergy. See also antispasmodic.

Immunostimulant: Tea Tree’s main actions—antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antiallergy—combine to create good immune system support.

Vasodilator: See also antispasmodic. Terpinen-4-ol induces smooth muscle relaxation resulting in hypotensive effects (Lahlou et al. 2003)."

DAy 2 of BOGOS: July 17 Buy Spearmint Get Lime + Tangerine

7/17/2018

, Today's BOGO (BUY ONE GET ONE) from doTERRA is so generous!

Buy One 15ml  Spearmint Essential Oil and 
Get One 15ml each of Lime EO + Tangerine EO!!!

Wow! How generous! I had a friend make a joke on my Facebook closed group called "BOGO with Oil Tribe", say, "Wow, my collection is going to significantly grow with this BOGO! I am going to need a bigger case!" AHAHAHHA! So funny, right! I feel you siSTAR!!!

According to Ayurveda, all 3 of these are cooling, stimulating, uplifting + invigorating essential oils. Spearmint, is cooling, invigorating and uplifting and is really great to stimulate those Kapha type people who have a hard time getting moving! It comes from the leaves of the plant and herbaceous EO's are generally great for balancing our Kapha's stagnant energy!

And Citrus essential oils come from the rinds of the fruits. They are uplifting, invigorating and joyful aromas! They are also especially good for supporting people with dominant Kapha dosha!  

I started a Facebook Group,  called "BOGO with Oil Tribe" (which you are welcome to join if you'd like), where I wrote an extensive post about the benefits of Spearmint, the "gentler mint", Lime + Tangerine EO's! 

Which I will share here!

“According to a study published in the Journal of Essential Oil Research, Spearmint oil's antimicrobial properties are obtained from its chemical constituents: cis-carveol and carvone. It demonstrated effectiveness against 4 bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pasturella multocida) and fungal pathogens (Aspergillus niger, Mucor mucedo, Fusarium solani, Botryodiplodia theobromae, and Rhizopus solani).

Spearmint oil's antimicrobial effects were also shown in another study, published in the Journal of Microbiology Research. It highlighted Spearmint oil's effect on Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans. The oil was most potent against Escherichia coli, and also exhibited benefits as an antiseptic and preservative.

Because of its potent antimicrobial nature, the use of Spearmint essential oil can provide the following benefits:
-Because Spearmint oil has antiseptic properties (due to the presence of menthol, myrcene, and caryophyllene), it can protect wounds and ulcers from infection and even help them heal faster.
-It can help treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as gonorrhea and syphilis.
-It can help treat internal wounds and infections in the stomach and intestines.

Apart from this, spearmint oil can also:
•Help relax nerves and muscle spasms, due to its menthol content
•Let excessive gas pass naturally from your stomach and intestines
•Alleviate headaches and stress-related neural problems
•Address menstrual problems, such as irregular periods, obstructed menses, and early menopause, as it induces the secretion of the hormone estrogen
•Stimulate nerves and brain function, as well as blood circulation
•Relieve common respiratory problems, such as colds, nasal congestion, asthma, and flu”
Quoted from: https://www.mercola.com

Wow! Now there’s an oil that packs a punch!

I like to use Lime oil on the soles of my feet to promote the detoxification effect!

And Tangerine oil has remarkable benefits when you ask the oracle (google)! But one of my favorite ways to use it is in my hair products to add shine and de-frizz! The humidity gets my hair all in a knot! 

To take advantage of today's deal, please click here......

And for all you Essential Oil Nerds (like me) out there who want to learn more, here are some great
links + references:

Citrus Oils are photosensitive!!! Meaning when you apply them topically to your skin and go in direct sunlight up to 12 hours of application, they can burn + stain your skin!!! So use common sense and caution!

doTERRA's July BOGO SALE DAY 1

7/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
This BOGO SALE is available in USA + Canada ONLY.
I love it when doTERRA has these amazing BOGO SALE days!
How fun to get free oils for ourselves and our loved ones!

Today's BOGO, July 16th, is BUY a SERENITY Restful Blend Essential Oil and doTERRA will give you a free Lavender EO! How great is that!?

I use these 2 oils in my home daily! And I NEVER travel without them!

Both of these oils support calm relaxed feelings within us! Lavender is known as all things calming for the skin, mood and emotions! It's one of the most popular scents! You can use it to support bug bites, sunburn, burns, feelings of ease, peace, calm and relaxation and to support a healthy sleep routine!

Mostly everyone loves the smell of lavender! But remember, not all essential oils are created equally! Just like we have to read labels for the foods we buy and the cloths we wear, we must know where our EO's are coming from!

With doTERRA, you are guaranteed the highest quality oils on the world market!
They are CPTG = Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade and sourced ethically + sustainably! You can be sure of that! DoTERRA even offers you that guarantee through the website: www.sourcetoyou.com
There are Quality Control numbers on the bottoms of each bottle and you can type that in to see the GC/MS testing results!

I use Serenity + Lavender in my night time sleep routine. In Ayurveda, our daily habits are so important to create the building blocks of the people we want to be! Everything we do creates who we are. So from the time we wake in the morning, to the foods that we eat, the thoughts that we think and the things that we do all either contribute to our health or it breaks it down.

Here is a peek into some of the things I do to prepare for a great night's sleep.
(I vary it up of course, it's my Vata nature! lol
I don't do everything every night, but some of these things!)

1. Turn off the WIFI! (I DO THIS EVERY NIGHT!)
2. Make a warm drink. Either herbal tea (relaxing), golden mylk (promotes restful sleep), or warm water with doTERRA's lemon oil (detoxifying). 
3. Read or listen to something spiritual or chant mantras.
4. Meditate. Or listen to a guided meditation.
5. Warm bath or foot soak using Serenity or Lavender EO's.
6. Diffuse either Serenity or Lavender EO's.
7. Do a few restorative / Yin Yoga poses.
8. Apply either Serenity or Lavender EO's topically to the soles of my feet, and the pulse points of my neck, and wrists.
9. Make a Sleepy Time Mist Spray using either Serenity or Lavender EO's and mist my linens before I lay down! AAAAHHHH Heaven!
10. Did you know that doTERRA also sells Serenity Softgels? So if you need the convenience of a pill, you can get yourself a bottle of those too!

If you have any questions, please ask! 

And if you think this post will benefit others, then please share!

Thank you!

Cheers to your Good Health!
​Om Shanti
