My Why

     I've heard recently from a couple different people that it's important  to have a why in your business and even just in life. Why do I want to teach people about dōTERRA and why do I want to sell there products. This video explains very well how important it is to have a why. While I was watching this short video I was thinking about past companies I have joined and have decided why it was I failed at them. In the past I joined other sales companies because I liked their products and was mostly interested in making money, not benefiting the lives of others.  I was in it to make us money.... Which didn't work.

     With dōTERRA I truly want to enrich the lives of others with the power of preventative health care. The very first time I heard about dōTERRA the lady didn't talk about how to make money with dōTERRA until the very end and even then I felt no pressure to buy. I felt as if she truly cared for every one at the class and only wanted to share the product and the information she had learned. I went away from the class excited to try the oils with my family and see if they could help our issues. I was given the essential oil Wild Orange and started using that on my hands in the morning to lift my mood. Two weeks later I received my Family Physician kit and started using the oils for EVERYTHING; they became part of my morning tea, I put them in my cleaner, used them on the bottom of my kids' feet, and on ache muscles. If a family member came to me with an issue I'd say "I have an oil for that" then turn to my book on oils to find the perfect oil for their issue. My kids were having tummy issues that were resolving on their own because of the oils, my skin cleared up because of using the skin care line with the essential oils in them (also made with only good ingredients), my sister started using Lavender on her feet every night and no longer needs to use sleeping pills at night. I get giddy just talking about the oils and look forward to the next person I come across with an issue that dōTERRA oils can fix (not that I want people to have issues but that I could help them in a natural way). Or just finding someone who will let me share what I've learned this week. Tomorrow I'll be mailing my family some Breathe to help them breathe at night, I cannot wait to hear the results. I want to share my oils and what I've learned to help others live healthier. If you are breathing dōTERRA can help you.


My why:

      "I want to help others live better with dōTERRA products;
                        to make a difference in their lives"






 Other bits I took from the video

- Every organization on the planet knows what they do. Some know how they do it. Very few know why they do it.
- People don't buy what you do they buy why you do it.
- Those who start with why have the ability to inspire those around them.

Frankincense

I've watched/listened to this webinar, "Frankincense The King of Essential Oils" twice in the last 24 hours. I enjoy listening to Dr. Hill and the scientific data he provides on the essential oils. I've made Frankincense a part of my daily ritual since I received my free bottle from dōTERRA a few weeks ago. (To get a free order your PV has to be over 200, please send me a message if you want to know more... This offer is good until the end of December) I was adding it in a capsule twice a day, but now I'm putting two drops under my tongue in the morning and at night. The taste isn't offensive as I thought it might be, and it takes less prep than filling an empty capsule. Here's what I learned from the webinar....
 
 There are many healthy benefits of the oil:
      -Skin care and skin rejuvenation
      -Cell regeneration
      -cold and flu like symptoms
      -Joint pain and discomfort -Inflammation
      -Circulation

Historical uses of the oil,and other information:
      -We obtain this oil from Oman
      -In India in 1868 it was commonly used for Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and Skin problems such as boils and ulcers.
      -Used to improve digestion and strengthen the gums. Historically people would soak the resin in water then chew in it.
      -If used by the Queens and Pharaohs and other persons of great wealth, in beautification, facial masks and cosmetics because of it's regenerative capabilities. They used to burn the frankincense and use the black coal as eye liner.
      -People would use it to improve eye site and protect against infection.
      -The Frankincense trail was a common trade route that would follow the coast of the red sea and extend as long as 2,400 miles with up to 6,000 camels on the trail. A common hub for the trade route was Petra.
      -Once tree that produces Frankincense can live up to 100 years and can be harvested 2 to 3 times a year. Oleo Gum Resin is the name of the resin and only 6 to 7% of the essential oil is found in it.

 There are many healthy benefits of the oil:
     -Skin care and skin rejuvenation
     -Cell regeneration
     -cold and flu like symptoms
     -Joint pain and discomfort
     -Inflammation
     -Circulation

Modern day uses of Frankincense:
     -Scar tissue, ulcers and wounds
     -Healthy Immune response
     -Analgesic ~pain reliever
     -Expectorant
     -Nervous Tension
     -Skin care and wrinkles
     -Mood stabilizer


     It's estimated that 95% of cancers result from Damaged DNA. The causes of Damaged DNA are free radicals, toxicity, and poor nutrition. Frankincense is made up of 70% Monoterpenes by content. Monoterpenes stimulate Apoptois (Cellular death), so when a cell becomes damaged it sends out a signal to the body (a signal to repair or destory). The Monoterpenes will destroy the cell so it doesn't have time to reproduce. Monoterpenes also increase the level of liver enzymes involved in removing carcinogenic toxins. They have been shown to interfere with cholesterol synthesis = slowing and reducing potential tumor formation. I wasn't aware of this but Cholesterol actually participates in the development of tumors in the body. Not only does Frankincense have the ability to kill the damaged DNA due to the amount of Monoterpenes but the Frankincense oil itself has the ability to repair the DNA after it's been damaged!

One quote from the webinar:

'It is a wise mans part, rather to avoid sickness, than to wish for medicine'

This is very true, yes oils can be expensive but so not as expensive as getting sick and needing modern medicine and doctors. Why not start preventing with good nutrition and the essential oils that are so readily available. I enjoyed learning about Frankincense and feel blessed to have this Pure Essential oil in my cupboard. I love what it has done to my mood and my skin. I highly suggest watching/listening to the webinar! Please comment if you do and what your thoughts are on Frankincense.

Skin Care

     I just started using dōTERRA's skin care line and love it! I'm talking about the Invigorating Scrub, Facial Cleanser, Pore Reducing Toner, Anti-Aging Moisturizer, and Tightening Serum. Leading up to this point I was dealing with an eczema type rash with a fungus around my nose and mouth. The only thing that would tone my rash down was an anti-fungal cream paired with a Hydrocortizone and this didn't even completely get rid of the rash. I've been using dōTERRA's skin care line since Christmas day and noticed a dramatic difference in my skin. I stopped using the anti-fungal and Hydrocortizone creams and only use dōTERRA's products.

      I LOVE their skin care because they are free of bad ingredients like; artificial colors, artificial fragrances, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. I love the smell of the Facial Cleanser and look forward to treating my face to the products every morning and night. Please leave me a comment if you have had a positive experience from using these products!! Thank you.
