Essential Oils

So me and my family are not Doctor friendly. I very rarely go to, or have been to the Doctor. I am not a fan of pain medication and the way it screws my system up. I feel that the medications that are given to people for different ailments now a days makes their health worse then what it was to start with. I do take Advil now and then but that's it! I know many people who have needed medication for one thing, and then got addicted to it in the long run. How awful is that! It can ruin families and a persons life. I know some people are required to take certain medications and that's fine, but I still believe that in many cases the medicine causes other issues which then require other meds and so on. You know what I'm talking about.. All the side effects that come on after a drug commerical.. Its ridiculous! We all have our own opinions, and I have taken different drugs for a thing or two. Such as having my wisdom teeth taken out. I was given loratab for the pain.. Did not go over well. It made me very sick and I did not like how long it took my body to recover from it. I know some medications help for a given amount of time. But in the long run are they really good for you?

Anyways the reason I got started on this topic was because my mom has recently been into this essential oil buzz.

She purchased this thing called the physicians kit (from Doterra, a Utah operated business.) It includes a variety of essential oils. You may be wondering what essential oils are? So was I.

 I was like whatever mom this is just another kick your on.. Well I was wrong I'm addicted: (In a good way)

So here is a few brief details on what they are: 

Essential oils are Plant oils. They are pure and do not include anything impure.

There are a variety such as Peppermint, Melaluca, Lemon, Lavender, Deep blue, On Guard, Slim and sassy and many others!

The oils can be used for everything. You can't overdose and they are natural.

My mom and I put lemon in our water every morning. It helps to detox my system (and it tastes great!)

I use Deep Blue after I work out. I rub it on my muscles so I'm not as sore in the morning. I use melauca on my face it fights blemishes and helps my oily/ dry areas.

They recently came out with the oil called slim and sassy and it helps your metabolism speed up,  controls your HDL and LDL and suppresses your appetite. I can't wait to try this. It's made with grapefruit, peppermint and lemon. I'm excited.  

 I really believe that oils are a better cure all then medication.

Lol I sound crazy, I know and maybe I am but oh well. If you want to check it out go for it. Go to Doterra.com
