Do you soak yourself in the bustle of life?  Are you embracing the simple joys and gifts that each day of living can bring?  Watch and read below to see why I have dramatically shifted my focus to the things that matter most…

A couple of weeks ago as I went about my usual day preparing to share my message of health with a few friends I was informed from one of the neighbor kids that one of my neighborhood friends 2 year old little boy passed away from a unforeseen accident in his garage which resulted in his tragic death.  Not believing her at first I went to confirm the findings with others in the area and my worst fears were solidified.  Having 5 very young children myself, I suddenly felt my heart sink to the cement as I pondered the circumstances that sent this young man to return to his God and the agony these young parents would face.

In so many ways it has changed my perspective and approach toward life.  The “To Do” list has become less tedious and taxing and the “To Be” list has grown immensely.  I have begun to realize that unless we are cultivating our “Being” the “Doing” doesn’t really matter.   As we focus on who we are and our ability to improve and progress through this crucial mortal existence, we find ourselves incredibly immersed in joy despite unforeseen or even expected failures or loss.

However, I couldn’t seem to shake off the tremendous heartache that this story of my friends and their son brought me.  It felt like I was experiencing it full force as if it had been my own!  So, although my direction changed my feelings and emotional sadness did not.   Grief and loss had overcome me.

Sobbing one night over this grief and loss, I chose to do a Compass Health Scan on myself to see if there would be anything tangible that could comfort me in this emotional heaviness.  Sure enough, it was concluded that several essential oils that came up were all to assist in releasing emotional trauma, sorrow, depression, and sadness  ie. doTERRA’s Elevation, Geranium and Whisper to name a few that were part of my report all of which are directly connected to helping dissipate awful feelings that come with grieving a loss. Other oils known to help are Cypress, Helichrysm, Lavender, Frankincense.

These Essentials Oils have served me so well in my journey!  I see the possibilities, understanding, and acceptance of life with more clarity and I am so excited to share and relieve the stress from all those who are affected by grief and loss.  Because essentials oils directly affect the gland in the brain called the amagdyla which stores emotional trauma and negative stories, they allow one to manage or let go of the negative feelings associated with it.  When you change things up emotionally the other elements of your life including physically and spiritually will follow suit in positively profound ways.

DoTERRA Essential oils are blessing all with emotional and physical struggles, including grief and mourning.  They support in ways that are indescribable and it is my belief that they are a God given tool to assist us in our path of mortality.  I am grateful for them in my life.  I am entirely grateful for the love of my family.  My kids are precious spirits that teach me everyday by who they are that heaven exists.  To all those who have or are dealing with grief and loss, my heart goes out to you and pray you find peace and strength in it all.

So, hug your little ones, your neighbors, your spouse and even yourself!  Slow down, embrace life, and live as if today was your last because it just may be for you or someone you love.  And, use you essentials oils as they truly are doTERRA (gift of the earth).  Love and tenderness to you and yours!

The official FDA definition of “natural” flavoring is published in the Code of Federal Regulations (21CFR101.22) in the form of more than 100 words that meticulously plug every conceivable loophole. -Washington post, may 2004

The U.S. FDA separates food flavorings into two categories: natural and artificial. To be natural, a flavoring must come from food. A food scientist can do virtually anything (including dissolving in acid, distilling, and breaking apart amino acids) to get to the end result. As long as it starts with food, it’s natural. So, “naturally-flavored” beef ravioli might actually be chicken. –  Jim Schreiber

That’s just gross and most of us don’t want to hear that the mint extract is just a bunch of chemically altered components that mess with our system.   So many say ignorance is bliss, but I say knowledge is power and with power comes an abundance of health, prosperity, and the best quality of life there is.  Have fun experimenting to cook with essential oils and remember that most on the market today are not safe to ingest.  DoTERRA essential oils are currently the only CPTGrade essential oil that will not even have a trace of contaminants.   So, most are  even recommended to ingest to provide healing for the body in incredible ways.

Consider these yummy essential oil recipes made with only the finest and most potent essential oils in their most pure, unadulterated state.  Enjoy!

Check out this amazing video about how using doTERRA essential oils relieves stress and elevates the mood in one of the most stressful jobs on the planet–THE EMERGENCY ROOM!

Click here to view the embedded video.

The proof is in the pudding!   You can imagine the type of emotional and physical demands put on the staff that work in hospitals especially in urgent/emergency care.   Now, imagine that same stress and panic with the patients and loved ones near that are experiencing trauma and illness.  Is it really possible that the power of these plant properties from the most potent essential oil in the world, being doTERRA, has the ability to help manage and reduce the level of stress one may experience in those situations?  YES!!!!!

I have witnessed the incredible shift in emotional stability, peace and calmness  from my kids,  family and friends in a matter of minutes with the use of essential oils.    Because of the therapeutic naturally occurring properties in essential oils, they carry the capacity to affect anyone who is in contact with them.  So, whether you like it or not your body and mind will respond positively to them.

Essential oils have been known to reduce or even eliminate feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, agitation, anger, hyperactivity, sorrow and aggression.  These are always grouped into that all too common theme for most individuals day to day life called STRESS!  When we alleviate stress in our lives by natural means we unconsciously allow life to flow easier and in a more peaceful and organized way.

How do these essential oils provide so much healing? It has been found that scientific research into the human sense of smell is 10,000 times more powerful than taste.  A scent travels rapidly to the brain, and is shown to have a direct effect on the limbic system.  The limbic system communicates with the autonomic nervous system. This is the known connection in the brain to the hypothalamus, emotion, memory, and some visceral (gut) reactions.  Since the 1980′s olfactory research has promoted the psychological benefit of essential oils used in aromatherapy.  It has been discovered that a gland present in the brain called the amygdala  plays a major role in helping unlock and release emotional trauma.  The only way to stimulate this gland is with fragrance or sense of smell.

“The profound and complete therapeutic effects of essential oils derive from more than their pleasant fragrance. They have vital electromagnetic properties and vibrational energies that invigorate the mind, the soul, the body’s energy, and thus their functioning.”- Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D.

I have found profound peace and stillness despite the chaos of raising 5 young kids, building a business, and serving others in whatever way I am capable.   Every morning  I put on my natural unscented doTERRA lotion mixed with  a few drops of whatever essential oil or combination of oils suit my mood.   I experience an instant release of anxiousness and tension associated with the days activities and demands ahead.    When my children get on edge, cranky, or stubborn I make sure I diffuse calming oils in the room or apply them to their chest and its like a miracle sometimes because the emotional climate shifts so drastically to bring harmony to our family interactions.   Makes me feel like a good mom.   If that’s not enough clout for you check out these testimonials….

“My son was having anxiety issues when school started.  I used Balance on the back of his neck at bedtime and Serenity with the Aromatouch hand technique.  It was marvelous!! I agree that the time and touch with their mom will be the most valuable for the children and the oils will be the added benefit.”  –Alisse.

“I would put my doTERRA essential lavender oil on the bottoms of my feet before I would leave for work to help me stay calm and collected during my work day. The manager of the store where I worked had noticed that I was much calmer and wanted to know my secret, I told her that I was using doTERRA essential oils and using lavender to keep me calm.   She asked if I had a sample to see if it would help her. She also saw a difference when she used the lavender. “–Lori J.

My suggestion to you specifically referring to mood management is the Mood Management Kit offered by doTERRA.   This lovely pack contains 3 doTERRA unscented lotions to be used with the four of the most essential of essential oil blends for mood altering affects.  Which are:

• Serenity:  This relaxing blend contains essential oils that are often used to help calm and soothe feelings of stress, excitement, and anxiety in order to help the body maintain its natural state of health.
• Balance:  This blend brings a feeling of calmness, peace, and relaxation.  It can aid in harmonizing the various physiological systems of the body and promote tranquility and a sense of balance.  Very grounding.
• Elevation:  This uplifting combination of essential oils creates an energetic aroma that can help stimulate the body’s chemistry when feeling lethargic or sad.
• Citrus Bliss:  This exhilarating blend brings together all of the uplifting and stress-reducing benefits of citrus essential oils in a sweetly satisfying way.  They have many elevating properties as well as the ability to cleanse and to disinfect.

But don’t limit yourself with these blends forever as nearly all the doTERRA essential oils will have a beneficial emotional/mental affect.   I spice it up everyday with Ylang Ylang, Purify, Lemon, Lavender,  or Frankincense to name a few whether I diffuse it in the air or apply it topically.  It’s so fun to hear the comments from anybody I pass by that are intrigued by the smell of these oils when on myself or my kids.

It’s time to experience a revolution of healing with doTERRA essential oils.  For more information on wholesale, promotions,  and other doTERRA products opt-in by clicking below to get on your way to mood management in a whole new way.  Happy times ahead!

Here comes the sun!  Whether you’re biking, gardening, at the park, or swimming you will be exposed to that all powerful heat from the sun.  How joyous and fun it can be, however it does bring some pain occasionally if we aren’t careful.  Check out how Lavender and Peppermint essential oils naturally soothed my sunburn below.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Although I am not a huge advocate for sunscreen and try to use the most natural as possible, I believe when its time to remedy sunburns its imperative that we use the purest products available to ensure that the damage that’s been done doesn’t exacerbate into more serious issues like the mutation of more cells that turn into cancer and other serious diseases.   Using skin care products that contain toxic chemicals will always have an adverse affect on your body and particularly your skin.  Most of the time we don’t realize what it’s doing to alter your physical and emotional health, but trust me everything has a consequence!  The things you eat, breathe, and apply to your body will always carry some sort of positive or negative effect.   Sometimes its an immediate reaction, but usually it just gets absorbed and is very subtle in its way of changing your body’s chemistry.

I used to stock my cabinet with a cooling “relief” lotion for sunburns for years.  It seemed so harmless and the cucumber melon smell was so tantalizing it was hard to let it go until I looked at the ingredients and warnings!  The way I see it is if I can’t put it on my newborn than why is it okay to put on me now?  I know I’ve built up some immunity to most germs and chemicals in my growing up, but why w0uld I want to apply artificial, colored, fragrant, petrochemicals on my skin (or in my body for that matter) to temporarily soothe a burn until my body heals itself.  It would only disrupt the process.  I went searching for a typical sunburn relief aid and this is what I found:

Hawaiian Tropic Cool Aloe I.C.E. Lidocaine Burn Relief Gel, Maximum Strength –EWG Cosmetic Database– Health concerns of ingredients
About the ratings
Overall Hazard
Cancer
Developmental & reproductive toxicity
Allergies & immunotoxicity
Use restrictions
Other HIGH concerns: Persistence and bioaccumulation, Miscellaneous, Multiple, additive exposure sources, Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), Contamination concerns, Biochemical or cellular level changes
Other MODERATE concerns: Neurotoxicity, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive)
Other LOW concerns: Ecotoxicology, Data gaps, Enhanced skin absorption, Occupational hazards

The real answer to pure  and fast relief?  Lavender essential oil!  It activates immediately on the cells for instant relief and repair to damaged tissues.   It has a soothing and calming affect that takes all the tenderness out of a fresh sunburn or any burn for that matter.   DoTERRA’s Lavender essential oil which is harvested at peak time in France for the highest grade and purity possible has  zero side affects.    I literally forgot about my burn once I applied Lavender on it and only took a full day to heal and look normal. That’s powerful!

See what others are saying about this Lavender:

“My husband and I were honeymooning in the Bahamas and we got the worst sunburns we had ever had! His shoulders and my cheeks blistered, it was really a second degree burn. We used a ton of lavender it was really the only things that soothed the burning for me. Before we came home the blisters had completely healed! ” –Karren F.

Lavender essential oil while doing its work on the sunburn will also serve the cardiovascular system, nervous system, emotional balance, and any other skin ailment.  When all else fails in your health GO LAVENDER!  This baby is extremely multifaceted and that’s why its considered the Swiss army knife of all the oils.

What about the heat?  We all experience that really hot skin within the first few hours of a sunburn that can make us chilly or sweaty.  Here’s a tip for you:  Peppermint essential oil applied in the beginning stages of that really hot sunburn will completely cool the inflamed, red tissues and make it feel extremely good!  Its anti-septic, anti-inflammatory and invigorating properties will leave that cooled feeling on your skin for several hours.   Ahhhhhh……

In conclusion, when applying anything to yourself, your kids or your babies use what will be most effective and safe.  Essentials oils have proven themselves in the way of healing our family time and time again for darn near everything under the SUN! Click below to get prepared for all those summer fun activities in the heat with Lavender and Peppermint essential oils.

I have never considered myself  a working mother.   Since the birth of my first child 8 years ago, I have not at all stepped foot into the work force for a paycheck.  Although, this conversation is very interesting to me because I always thought that monetary compensation had to come by exchanging my time and labor for a paycheck and I was just never willing to do that regardless of our financial needs due to the demand of my small 5 young ones and the cost involved with childcare and other sacrifices.

Watch the video below to see how powerful it can be to network with other individuals, women and men alike, while achieving the mission of being an at home mother and sharing health and wealth to the entire world.  (Yes, we are mothers that did our best to tame a total  of 10 total kids in the background.  I love the authenticity of it which is very fitting for what we are talking about–a mother at work and play!)

Check out these stats….

Over the past several decades, women have played a role of growing importance in the labor force.  It is clear that in the wake of the Great Recession, families continue to rely upon mothers’ employment. Rather than opting out of the labor force, mothers increased their labor force participation over the recession. The share of mothers working or actively searching for work increased from 71.0 percent to 71.4 percent between 2007 and 2009. –U.S. CONGRESS’ JOINT ECONOMIC COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE CAROLYN B. MALONEY, CHAIR

72% of moms with children over 1 year old work (about the same as childless women) , vs. 39% in 1976 –Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Employment Survey

55% of moms with a child under 1 year old work, vs. 31% in 1976 –Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Employment Survey

A recent survey from Working Mother magazine found that 57% of working moms feel guilty every single day, and 31% feel guilty at least once a week.

These statistics were inconceivable to me.  I couldn’t fathom that many mothers out in the workforce in order to live comfortably and ensure economic security.    While I’m sure some have desires to pursue studious careers, it appears that the majority of women hoofing it to make a buck are doing it so they can get the bills paid in a dual income family and leave at least some cushion for extras & emergencies.

So, why am I getting paychecks several times a month if I’m not “working”?  Well, that easy!  I’m not working I’m playing! It sounds silly, but literally I have taken my passion full on and found others unleash the desire within themselves to serve, heal, & compensate humanity.   I have always believed that it is our moral obligation to share things that will bless the lives of other people and if I get monetary blessings for doing so than it will just give me more reason and freedom to share and spread my message.

My point?  Here it is……. doTERRA!!! Myself and nearly 70,000 other individuals over the past 3 years have found their source of healing and wealth through this amazingly powerful opportunity.  With their steady retention rate of over 65% monthly being 3x that of the national average for network marketing, it is proving to be one of the most sought after businesses in bringing real health and financial security to thousands who experience it.  Why?  Because these essential oils and products provided by doTERRA work by creating solutions for your health no matter how young or old, healthy or sick.  They are opening up a new wave of alternative health that is unmatched by any other method.

My experience of using the essential oils and other doTERRA products for over 3 years has been nothing short of phenomenal.  So, after realizing that all this great knowledge and healing was going to waste by hording it I decided to share it and what do you think happened?  Well, I went from zero to hero in 6 months.  That means I went from being a happy mom of five kids to an even happier mom with still five kids and money in the bank on a monthly residual basis of over $1k a month.   By learning, growing, experiencing, and sharing I have been able to  give those same gems to so many I continue to meet in both my direct contact as well as through the vast potential of the internet.

Sharing doTERRA is simple because we all experience emotional, physical, or financial dis-ease from time to time and doTERRA has been the answer to all of that and more for our family as well as countless other individuals.   Satisfy your curiosity and see why this company is so determined to reinvent health care and create a healer in every home.   Join the health revolution to become self-reliant and get paid to play!  Choose in today!

How often  do you experience ear infections in your household?   Check out this video of our cute Gabriel after running downstairs complaining of an earache…..

Click here to view the embedded video.

So how did the night go for us?  Well, lets just say that little Gabe slept long and very sound and didn’t mention it again.

If you have ever gone to the doctor for an ear infection you most likely would have left with that slip of paper that says you have the green light to spend money on medication that in nearly all cases will have no affect on the problem.   I’m talking antibiotics here.   According to many documented studies it appears that ear infection or otitis media accounts for over 35% of all pediatrician visits in the United States. Acute ear infections are the most common childhood illness in the United States where antibiotics are routinely prescribed. A 2006 study estimated that it costs about $350 to treat each episode of the illness, with yearly national costs totaling $2.8 billion and up to $5 billion in indirect costs.  Antibiotics, which is the usual treatment, are not always effective and may even lead to a recurring ear infections and other illness.

David Tunkel M.D., director of pediatric otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins University Hospital says:

“Many parents don’t like to hear this, but most ear infections will go away on their own. That sounds like heresy for anyone brought up in the antibiotics age, but its true.  And with increasing resistance to antibiotics and the breeding of superbugs, it’s important to get comfortable with using pain relievers alone to treat ear infections.”

For so many of the minor childhood illnesses if we were to just leave them alone their immune systems would fight it off naturally.  I hope you paid close attention to the video and the remedy for it, but if you didn’t here it is in a nutshell………essential oils!! All too often we disrupt the opportunity for our bodies to take charge and innately rid theses illnesses the way they were supposed to be rid.  Essentials oils have the ability to penetrate a cell wall and invoke fast, effective healing and soothe an inflamed ear.   In the case of my son, we put melaleuca, helichrysm, and basil essential oils on a cotton ball and placed it in his ear (and rubbed a little behind his hear) and he found instant relief and so did mom and dad.  This healing occurs in adults and children alike.   I only use doTERRA essential oils because they are the most clean and potent available today and will yield zero side effects.  Basil has been shown to help in the cure of all ear disorders.

When I was young I got my tonsils out when I was 18 months old and had tubes put in twice.  I still have issues with hearing and constant ringing in my ear.  It’s been kind of a joke in my household because my husband thinks I am selectively listening.  Point is  surgery isn’t always the best solution.

A 1989 study showed that the surgery offered no advantage over doing nothing in terms of duration of the disease, recurrence of disease, subsequent surgery, or hearing loss after twelve months, even for patients with serious initial hearing loss.

Routine removal of adenoids, practiced by many surgeons, has no beneficial effect on the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear and consequent hearing loss.

Most children receiving the operation continue to get ear infections.

The operation may have to be repeated, about 30% of the time, according to one study, and more than 50% in children under two years old.

Chronic fluid in the ear and accompanying hearing loss tends to improve spontaneously. A study shows improvement without treatment in more than 80% of children, with 50% returning to near normal. —Paul Bergner, Medical Herbalism

Here are some tips on ways to prevent future ear infections:

• Don’t insist on antibiotics
• Don’t smoke
• Don’t overdo the pacifier
• Don’t ban chewing gum (xylitol gum will actually assist to alleviate ear infections)
• Don’t go bottle–BREASTFEED!

Essential oils have been instrumental in caring for my children and I am deeply grateful to have doTERRA in my life.  Choose in today to give your family the best of healing in the most effective way possible with these p0werful essential oils!  Happy Hearing to you and yours!

Growing up I always considered myself to be a shy or introverted individual.   I avoided any limelight outside of my comfort zone and took the back seat approach in most everything I did.   It wasn’t until a few years ago I started to recognize how inspiring, talented, and extraordinary I am only after some hard looks at discovering my truth and being diligent in cultivating positive things into my life.  Check out this profound video that woke me up……..

Click here to view the embedded video.

By today’s standards I would have been known not as a mere introverted person, but diagnosed as having “avoidant personality disorder”.  It seems we are given so many labels early in our lives, especially today, that we take as truth and then medicate our emotions based on the recommendations of the medical community.  Instead of seeing these mental and emotional issues for what and why they came to be, too many doctors, parents, & outsiders see a broken and dysfunctional human intellect thus involving drugs to “solve” their life struggles.

There is huge power in words.   Take inventory of your thoughts and conversation and you may witness yourself verbalizing the negative labels in your every day life and watch them carry out just like you imagined–negative!  Look at your obstinate kids or similar attitudes around you in a public atmosphere and you may judge their temperament irrationally.  Instead of viewing their behavior as a dysfunction of who they are, consider that their life challenges, backgrounds, physical limitations, and past experiences have molded them to a large degree.   When we push a pill on them or ourselves rather than face them we then get to battle a whole new set of frustrations associated with covering up the issue and deal with side effects.  Although I am not a big believer in psychotherapy as it seems to allow individuals to remain in their pattern of victimization, I do believe in therapies that will enable you to surface the frustration, create a plan to overcome them, and with the help of your Creator begin the process of growth by eliminating the pain and struggle.  The more pain and struggle we experience, the more medication seems to be dished out to mask the symptoms and signs that there is something amiss needing to be remedied in your life whether spiritual, emotional, or mental.

“Despite decades of trying to prove mental disorders are biological brain conditions, due to chemical imbalances or genetic factors, psychiatry has failed to prove  even one of their hundreds of so-called mental disorders is due to a faulty or “chemically imbalanced” brain. ………… There are no tests in existence that can prove mental “disorders” are medical conditions.  Psychiatric diagnosis is based solely on opinion based on a checklist of behaviors.” —CCHRINT

Have you ever known someone with so much going on in their life that taking the time to look heavily into their internal beliefs and core frustrations of themselves and/or children is just  too complicated?  I have heard many stories where the once spirited, curious, & rambunctious typical little boy or girl was medicated after a mental diagnosis because the parents and/or doctor didn’t know of any other avenue to heal the frustration they dealt with.   For many, this method proved to “cure” the problem by disconnecting their personality to some degree to become more calm, collect, relaxed, and supposedly focused and happy.  One of the most common side effects of medicating these mental issues is depersonalization aka lack of personality.

When Christopher Lane, author of Shyness: How Normal Behaviour Became a Sickness, quoted a psychoanalyst saying “We used to have a word for sufferers of ADHD; we called them boys”, he probably did not expect it to become the most famous line of his book.

Lane’s point was more general, about how personality traits that were once tolerated and even celebrated are now treated as disorders.

What was once introversion is now “avoidant personality disorder”, nervousness is “social anxiety disorder” (SAD) or dating anxiety disorder (DAD) and so on. It’s not that these disorders don’t exist, says Lane, a Guggenheim fellow studying the ethics of psychopharmacology, but that our definitions are so broad that the entire mysterious subconscious is reduced to chemical balance, and any deviation looks like disease.

Why, he asks, is ADHD so commonly diagnosed in boys? Is it new behaviour? Or just a new attitude to that behaviour?

Ritalin is prescribed to 6 million children with ADHD every year and like all drugs comes with a long list of side effects including nervousness, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, insomnia, joint pains, headaches, increased blood pressure, fever, rapid heartbeat, abdominal pain, and psychosis. (The US produces & consumes 85% of the world’s production of Ritalin)

Common and well-documented side effects of psychiatric drugs include mania, psychosis, hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal ideation, heart attack, stroke and sudden death.

Not only that, but The US Food and Drug Administration admits that probably one to ten percent of all the adverse drug effects are actually reported by patients or physicians. --CCHRINT

I feel there are answers to everything in life, but finding them requires time and effort. Unfortunately, criteria to get psychotropic medication doesn’t take much.    Anything you say that is not in harmony with what is deemed as usual behavior has the potential of becoming an illness in the eyes of medicine therefore leaving the door wide open to means of medicating emotional disruptions.   My challenge to all is to search out ways of dealing with these behaviors if nothing else in conjunction to the prescribed medication.   Here are a few ideas of my own I found to be highly effective and most assuredly bring more peace and a better sense of self by experimenting with:

• PRAYER–I am a big believer that when life is painful and disruptive in any way praying for opportunities for resolve is the first course of action.  Inspiration comes to those who humbly ask for answers to any and all of lifes challenges.
• ESSENTIAL OILS!!! -Essential oils contain naturally occurring chemical constituents that can pass through the blood brain barrier and have amazingly positive effects emotionally and mentally.  Brigham Young University did a test study on children ages 6-14 years of age diagnosed with symptoms of ADD/ADHD with 18  control subjects having a placebo while 16 subjects breathed in (aromatherapy)  essential oils of vetiver, cedarwood, & lavender three times in a day and were tested by means of EEG.  The essential oils showed a 34% decrease in signs of ADD/ADHD in the vetiver, 24% decrease in the cedarwood, and 17% decrease in the lavender with no side effects.  Recently, Dr. Terry Friedman MD, did a 2 year study of children between the ages of 6 and 12 years old trying to identify essential oils useful in the treatment of ADD and ADHD. Vetiver was shown to be highly successful with 100% of the subjects over a 30 day period when the children felt “scatter brained”. Dr. Friedman used an inhalation method also.These studies were not even done with CPTGrade essential oils from DoTerra. You can imagine how even more powerful an outcome this would have been with the most potent essential oils in the world produced by DoTerra.  The right essential oil can assist greatly in relieving stress, anxiety, fear, depression, anger, hyperactivity, agitation, and other symptoms of psychiatric disorders.  They invoke  calm, peace, serenity, and even joyful thought processes.  Click below to find out more about how to stock your cabinet with essential oils to affect matters of the mind.
• READ!–Educate yourself with self help books and parenting resources to help guide you to success of self and family====>see the book wheel=====>
• CLEAN DIET–Eating sugary and processed foods weigh huge on your emotional & mental welfare.   Be aware of what you or your child is eating and eat as whole, live foods as much as possible.
• THERAPY–There is a vast array of energy therapies that have the potential to tap into portions of the subconscious mind that harbor negative stories and connotations to life. Psychologists and psychiatrists, unsurprisingly, take a much more limited view of the capabilities of the unconscious.  Studies suggests that the subconscious mind processes about 400 billion bits of information per second and the impulses travel at a speed of up to 100,000 mph! Compare this to your conscious mind, which processes only about 2,000 bits of information per second and its impulses travel only at 100-150 mph.

My heart goes out to all those who suffer from this kind of psychological stress.  I am much more aware of how I label myself and my kids.  I realize now that all the times I thought and/or verbalized to my daughter how “distracted” she always is and how frustrating it is for me  it just made things worse and the distraction got more intense and even more frustrating when we battled over it.  I choose to make a special effort to hold her in the light of focus, attention, and intelligence.  What a difference this past few days have made!  If I were to label myself as anything it would have to be a DJ or “DoTerra Junkie”.   Essential oils have proven to be powerful healers for all facets of our life.  Our family is truly grateful that these products have entered into our lives to put in our tool belt to experience success and joy.  Choose now to incorporate this mode of healing into the lives of your children.

This was fascinating to research and I would appreciate any thoughts or comments on both sides of the spectrum.   Here’s to joyful and pleasant family living.  Loves to all!

If you didn’t already know the chemical sweetener called aspartame is in nearly all sugar free gum and thousands of other consumables.   This toxic substance is found in anything from drinks and desserts to multivitamins and medication.  What is Aspartame you say? It is a chemical additive that is over 200 times sweeter than sugar and  is comprised of three elements: the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid, and methanol.  High concentrations of phenylalanine when accumulated can cause brain damage.  Aspartic acid is an excitotoxin that is a pathologic process that damage and kills nerve cells.  Methanol is a wood alcohol that when consumed in even modest amounts is poisonous to the system.  So, just an FYI this powdery sweet stuff will jack up your DNA and give you several handfuls of health problems if you’re into this sugar free method of eating including but not limited to: severe headaches, dizziness, attention difficulties, memory loss, seizures, throat swelling, depression, blindness, brain tumors, cancer……..the list goes on and on.

“Many complainants reported a variety of symptoms involving several organ systems. Overall, 346 (67%) complainants reported neurological/behavioral symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and mood alterations. One hundred twenty-four (24%) reported experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, and 76 (15%) reported allergic type and/or dermatologic symptoms. Thirty-two women (6% of case reports) reported alterations in their usual menstrual patterns. Forty-seven (9%) reported other symptoms of various types. Because persons often reported symptoms from more than one category, the total number of symptoms reported was greater than the actual number of complainants.” –Center for Disease Conrol

Unfortunately, the ill effects of aspartame is the most controversial food additive in history with foggy studies that have been done about its effects on human consumption.  Frankly, I’ll keep me and my family far away from anything that was originally designed by the Pentagon as a means of biological warfare.  This tasty sweetness just happened to slip into the modern diet and cause major ripples in health.

James Bowen, M.D. in 2005 stated:

“Apartame is indeed the number one brain carcinogen ever discovered by science! The US brain cancer rate jumped up 10% the first six months after is was added to diet pop! Three cans of pop per day for only sixty days also caused an immediate 250% increase in visible human illness. “

I know what you’re thinking.  Shandi, what do I do to achieve fresh breath without the typical store bought gum or mints to help me?  Here are a few suggestions of things we use in our family to freshen up that breath naturally and even therapeutically.

• Peppermint Essential Oil–One drop under the tongue or a few gulps of it in water will give you the purest, most natural way to not just mask that nasty breath, but kill bacteria, aid in digestion, alleviate headaches, calm your nerves, and keep you cool (literally).  Not to mention wake you up! It is purifying and stimulating to the mind and may aid in memory and mental performance.  I only trust DoTerra Essential oils because of the CPTG standard they uphold.   They are one of the few, if not the only, essential oil provider that is safe for consumption.  Peppermint oil is found to be more effective at preventing plaque formation than chlorhexidine (an antiseptic).  Rasooli et al. 2008 Click below for more info on the power of essential oils in your diet.
• Xylitol Gum–Xylitol is actually considered a grain and is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables and is very yummy to eat!  It has been found to prevent tooth decay by fighting bacteria for oral issues, as well as preventing nasal and ear infections.  Harvard School of Dental Medicine has done extensive studies in individuals and found it stopped sugar cravings, reduced insulin levels, and alkalized their bodies.  My kids really enjoy gum, so we try to have a good stock of it.  Click here to find out how to add this and other xylitol products to your pantry.
• Xylitol Toothpaste–This does not contain fluoride or preservatives at least from our good friends at Natures Sunshine.  It contains mild abrasives (baking soda and silica) to clean and polish teeth while leaving your breath fresh and bacteria free.  This comes in real handy if you are a young mother.  When your little ones are sucking on the toothpaste you don’t have to worry a bit.  You could eat this stuff!  Find out how to get this and other xylitol products at wholesale by clicking here.

Although I can’t say much of anything positive about refined sugar, when given the choice I will always be much more inclined to grab something with sugar as opposed to anything that contains aspartame as the sweetener.   Still, there are several alternatives to sweeten things up naturally such as agave nectar, xylitol, brown rice syrup, raw sugar, succanat, and stevia.

I hope this was valuable to you…………have a sweet day!
