Hi everyone! I think its sometimes daunting to think about all the oils and all the possible uses for them. I want to share with you my own routine for using my oils to show you that it actually can be pretty easy. I incorporate all of this into routines that I already have established, so it really doesnt take much extra time or effort. This is my daily morning essential oil (and other doTERRA product) routine: First thing in the am: I put a drop of Frankincense on each of my feet. I follow that with Balance on both feet. The feet have the largest pores, so the oil is absorbed directly into the blood stream through them. They are also the thickest skin and therefore the least sensitive. So even the oils that might cause a little sensitivity on other parts of the body wont really bother the skin on the feet. I use both of these oils in the morning for their grounding effect and as anti-inflammatory and immune-support. I use a drop of Frankincense as an under-eye circle cream after I wash my face. If I have a zit, I dab some Melaleuca on it. Its antiseptic and good for skin inflammation. I follow that with a drop of Frankincense for its anti-inflammatory and healing effects. I am hoping to get the skin care line soon so that will be part of my morning routine as well. Cant wait for my next LRP order! I have a small bottle where I blended equal amounts of lemon, lavender and peppermint together for seasonal support. I apply a dab of this directly to my nose and over my sinuses to deal with my itchy eyes and runny nose. This blend also comes already prepackaged in softgels (called TriEase) for the same purpose. I take 1-2 by mouth if Im having a particularly bad itchy-sniffly day. Then on my wrists and behind my ears, I dab a drop of Balance, Elevation, and Citrus Bliss together. These three oils combined smell amazing and serve as my perfume - but they also have a grounding and uplifting effect. Before I leave the house, I take my Lifelong Vitality Pack (the food-based multivitamin, omega-3 supplement, and antioxidant supplements - this trio of supplements is doTERRAs best-selling product! Once people start on it, you rarely see them stop), the Terrazyme (digestive enzyme supplement), and the PB Assist+ (probiotics). So thats my morning routine, no matter how Im feeling! And Ill tell you, I start my days feeling pretty great with this routine. Look for future posts for my daytime routine and my nighttime routine, as well as my go-to oils for issues that come up from time to time.
