THYME ESSENTIAL OIL AND KNIGHTS

Thyme was given to knights and warriors before they went into battle by ladies of the Middle Ages for courage. 

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

How to apply Essential Oils topically: 

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

Need a little help losing post-holiday weight like I do? 

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

Bee stings, etc, remedy. Remove the stinger by scraping with a credit card, dull butter knife, or something similar. Apply ice for the swelling. Apply one drop or two of Lavender Essential Oil or Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil) right onto the swollen area. 

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.

AIR FRESHENERS VS ESSENTIAL OILS

Anne Steinemann, a professor at the University of Melbourne, Victoria, who has extensively studied major air freshener brands and products as well as their associated health effects, tells Yahoo Health that the word “fragrance” can mean several hundred different chemicals, some of which are hazardous air pollutants — including known carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and neurotoxins. 

Some air fresheners also emit acetaldehyde, she says, a hazardous air pollutant that is classified as a “probable human carcinogen,” according to the EPA, as well as ultrafine particles, which are linked with heart and lung disease. 

The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology reports that 20 percent of the U.S. population and 34 percent of asthmatics have difficulty breathing and get headaches when exposed to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in air fresheners. Higher concentrations of VOCs can cause eye and respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, and memory impairment.

You can control some potentially harmful environmental factors, such as what you inhale and what touches your skin. A far better and healthier choice to freshen your air would be diffusing the Essential Oil of your choice. 

doTerra's blend "OnGuard" for your immunity, peppermint for energy, Siberian Fir for a relaxing aroma, grapefruit to cleanse the air, doTerra's proprietary blend "Serenity" to help you sleep, the blend "Breathe" when seasonal and environmental threats are high, etc. Any number of choices to freshen your air safely.

3 WAYS TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils can help bring about fundamental changes in physical, mental and emotional well-being by triggering, and strengthening our bodies’ own natural responses. EOs cross cellular membranes to go to work and heal.

3 ways to use EOs:

(1) Inhale. Many hospitals are using aromatherapy now to help their patients. Inhalation can be the most direct method of delivery for the healing components in essential oils. Through the nasal cavity, the chemical messengers have direct access to the brain and can go straight to work.

 (2) Topically. Use with a ‘carrier oil’ such as fractionated coconut oil, or jojoba oil, olive oil, sesame seed oil, avocado oil to avoid sensitivity. Oils go through your pores and into your bloodstream, then are carried throughout your body to go to work.

 (3) Some oils, from certain companies, can be ingested. Read the label. Not all oils can be ingested. Never ingest too much – one drop is plenty to work. 

Make sure you are buying from a reputable company known for absolute purity, such as doTerra. You can get your Essential Oils here at doTerra: www.mydoterra.com/bethblake

CANCER AND ESSENTIAL OILS (EOs)

Cancer and Essential Oils: Dr. Eric Zielinski is a Science Researcher (not affiliated with doTerra). He talks about:

"The importance of killing cancer cells while being safe for your other cells.

"Different oils work in different ways. Frankincense Essential Oil (EO) triggers cancer cells to die and also gives your body what it needs to kill the cancer cell - this is a dual mechanism. 

"Sandalwood EO prevents DNA repair of cancer cells, allowing them to die. 

"Chemicals in different EOs work together synergistically to increase their effectiveness.

"EOs stop the spread of cancer cells to new areas of the body (metastatic growth) and prevent the growth of veins and arteries (angiogenesis)."

ALLERGIES

Allergies? Here's an important study concerning Benadryl. In March 2015, researchers published a study in JAMA called “Cumulative Use of Strong Anticholinergics and Incident Dementia.” The study followed 3,434 men and women aged 65 and up with no dementia. Over 7 years, 797 participants developed dementia. Studying what those 797 individuals took, anticholinergic drugs became the main suspect. These drugs include Benadryl. Compared to those who didn’t take anticholinergic drugs, people who did for as little as three years were 54% more likely to develop dementia. For allergies, you can instead use doTerra's TriEase. It's a natural way to combat allergies. Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint Essential Oils.
