NASHVILLE MEDICAL CLINIC WITH ESSENTIAL OILS
THYME ESSENTIAL OIL AND KNIGHTS
Thyme has specific chemistry that supports a healthy immune system. Thyme provides powerful antioxidants for your health.
Add 1-2 drops of Thyme Essential Oil to veggie capsules and take to support your health. Plus, you can use it in your cooking for a delicious boost of flavor and health. Thyme EO is concentrated, so only 1-2 drops in cooking are necessary.
You can also diffuse a few drops in the diffuser of your choice.
I use doTerra oils. You can be confident you're using the best when you use doTerra, known for superior testing and purity.
TOPICAL USE
Because Essential Oils have low molecular weights and are lipid soluble, they easily penetrate the skin. Once absorbed, they stay in the applied area for a localized benefit.
Use several small doses throughout the day rather than a single large dose. Start with the lowest possible dose (1–2 drops). A topical dose can be repeated every 4–6 hours as needed. The dose will vary for each individual.
Always use a carrier oil to dilute your topical oils, to avoid longterm sensitization. One drop of EO to three drops of carrier oil(ie: avocado oil or olive oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil). A carrier oil helps carry the oil into your skin and saves you money.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
DoTerra's "Slim and Sassy" blend of Essential Oils are known to promote a healthy metabolism when ingested. Dilute four drops in 4 fl. oz. of liquid. It helps manage hunger cravings throughout the day. It supports healthy metabolism. Things that I need, badly!
When taken with a healthy eating and exercise plan, Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend can help you reach your weight management goals. Free of calories, diuretics, or stimulants. None of those! Contains Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon oils.
You can be confident you're using the best oils when you use doTerra, known for superior testing and purity.

MENTAL ALERTNESS AND BASIL
Diffusing Basil Essential Oil helps promote mental alertness and a sense of focus while studying or reading.
Diffused Basil EO also lessens anxious feelings and provides a stress-relieving experience.
Smell molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, referred to as the "emotional brain."
The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance.
You can be confident you're using the best EOs when you use doTerra, known for superior testing and purity.

BEE STINGS
Lavender essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties and helps relieve swelling. Lavender is known to soothe skin irritations. Melaleuca is a natural antiseptic and is good for the skin. For sensitivity to either of these 2 oils, mix with a carrier oil such as olive oil.
You can be confident you're using the best oils for your family, like my little bumblebee grandson pictured above, when you use doTerra, known for superior testing, purity, and therapeutic benefits.

THE POWERFUL CLOVE ESSENTIAL OIL
"Cloves contain 30 X more antioxidants than blueberries.
Antioxidants reverse the damage caused by free radicals, including cell death
and cancer. Antioxidants slow aging and protect the body against bad bacteria
and viruses," says Dr. Josh Axe (not associated w/doTerra).
Diffusing is a great way to boost your immune
system. Diffusing
it is a great way of using clove oil to improve your immune health and blood
pressure.
If ingesting (1 drop daily up to 2 weeks), take
probiotics due to clove's powerful antibacterial properties, says Dr. Axe.
Acne: "Scientific research demonstrates
clove oil’s ability to effectively kill off both the planktonic cells and
biofilms of a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus, which is one of several
strains of bacteria that have been scientifically linked with the pathogenesis
of acne. As a natural remedy to eliminate acne, take 3 drops clove oil and mix
with 2 teaspoons raw honey. Mix together and wash your face as usual,"
says Dr. Josh Axe,
Clove oil has been shown to inhibit
gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as yeast. This is huge,
especially since gram-negative bacteria are often resistant to
antibiotics and other
antibacterial interventions.
With its potent antibacterial and antiviral
abilities, clove oil can help boost the immune system to fight off, or even
prevent, the common cold and flu. With its potent ability to kill the offenders
that make us sick, clove oil is commonly highlighted as a top natural remedy
for guarding yourself from illness, especially during cold and flu
season. If you’re exposed to people with a cold or flu, you can mix it with coconut oil and rub it
on your neck and chest for natural antioxidant protection. And diffuse it.
A scientific study
also isolated another impressive active compound of cloves called acetyl
eugenol. The researchers found acetyl eugenol to be a “potent platelet
inhibitor” in human blood cells, which means it prevents the clumping
together of platelets in the blood. Platelet aggregation (platelets clumping
together) is one of the factors that lead to the formation of a thrombus or
blood clot. This is definitely a significant finding since antiplatelet, or
blood thinning, medications are commonly used to treat coronary heart disease and to reduce the risk of heart attack. Clove is known to act as
a natural blood thinner, so much so that it’s NOT recommended to combine clove
oil with other conventional blood thinners.
The Journal
of Immunotoxicology has published the first-ever study proving
that the eugenol in oil of cloves is a powerful anti-inflammatory. This study
demonstrates that low doses of eugenol can protect the liver against disease.
It was also observed that eugenol reverses inflammation and cellular oxidation
(which speeds the aging process).
PRECAUTIONS: When taking clove oil
internally, do not use for longer than two weeks consecutively. When taking
cloves essential oil internally, take a probiotic supplement to restore beneficial
flora.
Clove
essential oil is typically not recommended for use with children under the age
of 2. Talk to your doctor before using clove oil internally or externally
if you are pregnant, nursing or being treated for any ongoing health concerns.
Don't ingest if on Rx blood thinner. Never overdo essential oils because
they are very concentrated.
In addition,
researchers noted that taking large doses internally could harm the digestive
lining and using it externally can irritate sensitive skin. So, as with all
essential oils, it’s important not to overdo it! Clove oil (and all
essential oils) are extremely concentrated, so remember that a little truly
goes a long way.
You'll be confident you're using the purest Clove
Essential Oil when you buy doTerra oils, known for their purity.
