4 4 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home Introduction Hi there! I m Jenni Wilson, author, speaker and natural medicine educator. I teach women, moms, and a few brave dads, to be confident in using natural remedies for their family s health and home medicine. Like most of America, I was living the standard Western diet full of processed and fast foods, with no knowledge of anything other than what the doctors gave me and conventional tools for allergies and recurring illness. I was plagued with many health issues that I see people around me suffering with today, with no idea what I could do. 13 years ago, I found myself completely exhausted after having my second child. I had been suffering endless hay fever, recurring yeast infections, UTI s, and had no energy. I realized that my health issues were interfering with the life I wanted to live, and it finally dawned on me that the medicine my doctor was giving me was not healing me or getting to the root of my problems. In fact, sometimes, those medicines made me sicker! Despite being married to a doctor, I went to a natural healer and discovered there was a more excellent way to live. Under the teachings of Dr. John Christopher and research of Weston A. Price, I learned about principles of natural health that absolutely changed my life that not only gave me my energy back, but empowered me to live a more natural, holistic, happy life! Of course, I wish I had known then what I know now after having all of these experiences with health, childbirth, and raising a family of 7 children. I am excited to share with you my insights, recipes, and tips that teach what natural tools are available to you to be confident in healing health issues, not just covering them up.

5 5 H o w t o S u c c e s s f u l l y U s e E s s e n t i a l O i l s i n Y o u r H o m e a n d F a m i l y I use essential oils and herbs daily to supplement, heal & prevent, and calm or infuse my body with energy, and consume whole, real foods with ingredients I can pronounce. My family no longer runs to the doctor for every little cough or sneeze, and we enjoy using tools that the earth produced to heal and strengthen our bodies. I m confident to use the remedies and tools on every member of our family, from toddlers to teenagers. With 7 busy, rambunctious kids, there s always something bound to happen! Here are some ways in which I have recently utilized essential oils in my life: - My grade school son woke up with a fever, and didn t feel well. I rubbed some immune oils on his feet along with just one drop of peppermint essential oil on the bottom of each foot. He slept for 45 minutes and was back to normal when he woke up. - My toddler loves to open my essential oils and tap the top with his index finger. Then he rubs that dab of oil on the back of his neck (it s so cute!). So I give him a bottle of a calming blend of essential oils to dab on his neck. This really helps him relax and be ready for sleep. - I had some semi-serious dental work done, and my dentist was worried that I would be very sore. As soon as I got home, I rubbed some essential oils (including myrrh) on the outside of my cheek. I did this a few times during the day. The discomfort was very minimal. The next morning when I awoke, my jaw was sore on one side. I applied the oils once and the soreness disappeared until Jenni Wilson Natural Medicine Mom

6 6 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home the next morning. I repeated using the oils for 3 days, and by then all the soreness and discomfort were completely gone. - My young daughter came in crying and saying that her leg was hurting. She had not hurt it externally, but said it hurt on the inside. I gave her some essential oils for pain in a lotion to apply to her leg. She took a bath, and afterward was fine. - My kindergarten son complained of a tummy ache, and I could tell his stomach was bloated with gas. We rubbed on some digestive oils and within one minute that gas was moving out of him. He immediately felt better. This use of essential oils is a regular occurrence in our home! - My preschool age son is constantly getting bruises and scrapes. We immediately apply essential oils (like lavender, diluted melaleuca, helichrysum or frankincense) to immediately stop bleeding, take down inflammation and diminish or halt the pain. - Some plans I ve made have not gone as smoothly as I expected. When I am feeling stressed, I get out my calming oils and smell them deeply right out of the bottle, or rub them on my neck, along with some orange essential oil. The citruses seem to always help me improve my mood. How amazing is that! These are easy examples that you can choose to practice as you begin to incorporate them into your life, without hesitation and with confidence! I even use essential oils in my cleaning and cooking! They are so wonderful!

7 7 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home I ve seen too many people around me digress in health and even lose their lives to synthetic medicines, conventional tools, and ignorance of core principles of wellness and alternative remedies. Don t be caught up in the status quo! I m ready to help you decide for yourself the joys and blessings that result from having the knowledge to confidently doctor your family without a degree! Join me, the Natural Medicine Mom, and learn what YOU can do to start being in control of your health and happiness! Why I Use Essential Oils With seven rambunctious kids, I have to have good home medical tools. I d go crazy if I didn t. Essential oils have given me effective and nurturing ways to treat my family s ills. I finished a master herbalist degree a couple summers and have been studying essential oils. I still use herbs for various health issues, but I have found essential oils to be much more effective than regular herbs in treating many problems. When I started using essential oils, I realized that they were about times more potent than the herbs I had been using. They were also very easy to use, both on myself and on my children. They didn't require lots of preparation or mess, which I often had in my herbal preparations. They worked super fast and gave me more immediate results than other treatments I had used. They are often as potent as drugs, without the side effects. So, even though my husband is an ER physician, I end up treating the majority of our health challenges at home. It s satisfying and empowering to do so. I m going to tell you about some essential oils that I use regularly. These oils have changed my life and they can change

8 8 H o w t o S u c c e s s f u l l y U s e E s s e n t i a l O i l s i n Y o u r H o m e a n d F a m i l y yours too. Once you know a few basics, essential oils are easy to use and extremely effective for many health issues. Over-the-counter products often use synthetic, chemical copies of the natural compounds found in essential oils. These unnatural duplicates are designed to produce a specific effect, but they don t communicate with the body to strengthen and heal the way natural compounds do. Essential oils are safer then synthetics and they help all body processes to work more efficiently. Which Oils Should I Use? I don t know where to start! Essential oils can be used for a multitude of ailments or pains, along with calming, cleaning, or cooking! When people complain about their health issues, we like to say, I ve got oil for that! I would recommend beginning with the basic trio of oils: Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. These are by far the most basic and popular oils that have hundreds of uses between them. Another way you can begin is by assessing your most challenging health issues, and then research which oils will best help you start growing your natural medicine cabinet. I ll recommend a resource guide later in the book to help you determine which oils might be the best to start addressing your longterm health Jenni Wilson Natural Medicine Mom

9 9 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home I Got my Oils! Now what? Oils can be used in so many ways, as I ve mentioned earlier: with dogs, children, and babies, for cleaning, healing, and even cooking! But, it doesn t stop there. Essential oils can be used for weight loss, preventing sickness, getting rid of mold, deterring mice and pesky insects, getting rid of warts, and for calming stress or rambunctious children! Essential oils can be used in three main ways: 1) Smell Them (Aromatic)- Just take off the lid and inhale straight out of the bottle, or put a few drops in a bowl of boiling water to diffuse them into the air, or use a diffuser which is more efficient at spreading the oil molecules through the air. This can change the mood and purify the air in a room. 2) Apply Them Topically- Gently rub on skin at problem area or apply to bottoms of feet. The feet have large pores and many nerve endings, so the oils are immediately absorbed into the blood stream and circulated throughout the entire body. Some oils are so strong that they need to be diluted with a carrier oil (water doesn t work for diluting oils). Olive oil or other cold-pressed vegetable oils are excellent, but can be a bit heavy or greasy. I prefer fractionated coconut oil, which absorbs quickly and helps the essential oils penetrate better. Essential oils are wonderful for use in massage. Avoid getting the oils close to eyes. 3) Ingest Them Internally- Essential oils can be added in small amounts to drinking water or put in an empty capsule as a dietary supplement. This is an excellent way to

10 10 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home cleanse the body of pathogens and fight infections. Just make sure you use high quality oils and know which ones are safe. So, now that you know how you can use your oils, START using them! Start subbing out Peppermint oil on your temples, forehead and neck for your migraine killer you ve got in your medicine cabinet. Use Lavender for pains or burns, and lemon as a way to lift your mood. When you start using them, you ll learn you can t live without them! A Few Simple Recommendations for Common Oils. Peppermint oil is very cooling, but invigorating. It counteracts the pain of headaches or other body aches when applied topically. It feels a little like Icy Hot. It is great to use during the summer in hot weather. I like to put some in a spray bottle of water and use on my arms and neck after working out or being in the heat. It cools my whole body. Peppermint is also excellent for digestive issues. I dilute several drops with carrier oil and rub on my stomach for gas, tummy aches, or cramping. Keep a bottle open by you when studying for increased recall power. I ve used it while driving to stay awake on long trips. Melaleuca is commonly called tea tree oil is well known and studied for its anti-fungal properties. I combine it with lavender for cuts and scrapes, which capably prevents infection from developing. Multiple studies have shown it to be effective against antibiotic-resistant Staph, acne, and fungal infections such as thrush, diaper rash, and athlete s foot. Drip straight on cold sores, skin rashes, blemishes and other problem areas. I ve used a cotton swab to spread diluted melaleuca around

11 11 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home the inside of the mouths of my babies for thrush. I ve also added 5 or 6 drops to pint douches of water for yeast infections. Here s what my good friend Teresa R. says: I get the occasional stress cold sore. I have tried many over the counter (and pricy prescription) medications but with little or no results. I looked up what oils to use for cold sores in the Modern Essential Usage Guide and found that peppermint, clove, helichrysum and melaleuca were the top oils listed. I used them 2-3 times a day. I thought it was a fluke when my cold sore didn't get bigger and was gone in 2-3 days, not the average 7 days. Months later I had the opportunity (again) to try peppermint, clove, helichrysum and melaleuca for my stress cold sore. Again the cold sore did not get bigger and was gone in 2-3 days. I have since made my own bottle of this mixture and keep it on hand. I love what the Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils can do! It is my first line of defense to help my family. Lemon is the essential oil I use the most because I drink it all day long. I put 8-10 drops in my water bottles (1 qt) usually with a few drops of wild orange and a dash of stevia (a natural herbal sweetener) to sweeten it. Lemon can also be used in a spray bottle for cleaning and disinfecting anything around the house (about 5 drops per cup of water). Its mood enhancing and 1-2 drops in a tsp. of honey is effective for sore throats.

12 12 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home Lavender is the calming oil. I rub a couple drops on my children s feet or back of neck at bedtime or when they re hurt to calm them down. It works well on bug bites, stings and burns (make sure your oil is pure or it will make the burn worse). Pure lavender oil can be applied neat, which means, straight on the skin. If you make a habit of using lavender with your children at bedtime, it can be a great tool for calming them while traveling. I apply 1 drop to a tissue for calming at anxious moments and to kids pillows in new sleeping places. This gives kids a feeling of comfort away from home and also helps disinfect bedding. Eucalyptus Radiata oil has traditionally been used for congestion, sinus infections and to help open airways. For children, dilute 5 drops with 5 drops carrier oil and rub on chest and neck for all respiratory troubles or diffuse 3 drops at a time. There are respiratory blends that work more effectively than single oils. These combinations of oils open strengthen and fight infection in the sinuses and bronchioles. I ve seen this blend used with great success for asthma and other breathing problems. There are blends for muscle relief and healing, digestive health, boosting immunity and even balancing hormones. I ve used these practical healing tools in my home in so many different ways! We don t always have to go to specialists to find answers to our health challenges. We can learn simple tools to be more self-reliant in our homes. Essential oils can help us be happier and healthier.

13 13 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home Using Essential Oils on Babies and Children Here are some remedies that I ve used on my babies. COLDS: Diffuse 2 drops of On Guard, lemon, or lavender at bedtime and again during the day. Mix 1 drop OnGuard, lemon, or lavender with 1 T. carrier oil; massage several drops on the upper chest, back of neck and bottoms of feet at each diaper change and before bed. COLIC: Mix 1 drop Digestzen, ginger or lavender with 1 T. carrier oil. Gently massage into baby s tummy, rubbing clockwise in the same direction of the colon. CRYING: Place a drop of Serenity, lavender or Roman chamomile on a tissue (or on your own hand), and let your baby smell the oil. Try not to let your baby touch the oil, so it doesn t get into the eyes. DIAPER RASH: Combine 1 drop melaleuca and 1 drop lavender with 1 T. carrier oil and apply to baby s skin. Start out with a tiny amount to make sure there is no reaction. TEETHING: Mix 1 drop clove or lavender with 1 T carrier oil. Apply a small amount to the outside of the face along the jaw. I ve also applied this directly to my baby s gums. DIARRHEA: Mix 1 drop Roman chamomile with 1 T. carrier oil. Gently massage 2-3 drops onto abdomen, rubbing clockwise in the same direction as the colon.

14 14 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home COUGH: Mix 1 drop lavender or eucalyptus with 1 T. carrier oil. Rub a small amount on chest and back. Essential oils most commonly recommended for babies: - Grapefruit - Lavender - Lemon - Melaleuca - Wild Orange - Frankincense - Roman Chamomile SAFETY DISCLAIMER Because a baby s skin is so delicate, it is a good idea to dilute all essential oils before applying them on the skin. A good rule of thumb is to dilute one drop of essential oil with 1 T. of a carrier oil such as a sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil, extra-virgin olive oil, etc. Do not diffuse or use very strong oils, such as cinnamon, peppermint, or oregano, in the baby s room or on baby. It s also a good idea to cover the baby s feet with socks after applying essential oils and avoid applying oils on the baby s hands so that the oils don t get into the baby s mouth. Buy individual essential oils HERE. CHILDREN Here are remedies that I regularly use on my children for: Burns, chicken pox, colds, cuts and scrapes, ear ache, flu, dry skin, fever, insect bites, sunburn

15 15 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home BURNS (minor): Immerse burned skin in cold water for 10 minutes to cool the skin. I apply 2 drops of lavender directly on the burned area; (only use doterra brand for this or it could make the burn worse). If the skin is broken, then apply the oil around the open area. Then put 5 drops lavender on a cold, dry cloth, and hold it over the area of the burn. CHICKEN POX: Add 10 drops lavender and 10 drops Roman chamomile to 4 oz. calamine lotion. Mix, and apply twice a day or as needed on pox. COLDS: Dilute 1-2 drops OnGuard or lemon in 1 tsp. carrier oil, and massage on neck and spine. CUTS & SCRAPES: Add 5 drops melaleuca, 5 drops rosemary, 4 drops helichrysum, and 4 drops clove to 20 drops carrier oil and apply directly on cut or scrape. With 5 boys (and 2 rough and tumble girls) we use this blend daily! If you want just a single oil, pick lavender. EARACHE: Combine 2 T. carrier oil with 2 drops lavender, 1 drop Roman chamomile, and 1 drop melaleuca. Put a drop on a cotton ball, and apply in ear, behind the ear, and on the bottoms of the feet. FLU: Dilute 1 drop of peppermint in 1 tsp. carrier oil and rub on bottoms of feet and stomach. Add 1 drop of ginger to 1 TB Epsom salt for a hot bath before bed. I love doterra s blends of OnGuard and Digestzen for Flu. I diffuse the OnGuard and rub diluted Digestzen on my children s tummies and bottoms of feet.

16 16 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home DRY SKIN: Dilute 1-2 drops sandalwood or lavender in 2 T. carrier oil, and apply where needed. FEVER: Dilute 1-2 of lavender or peppermint in 2 T. of carrier oil, and massage a small amount on the neck, on the feet, behind the ears, and on the back. INSECT BITES: Add 1 drop of Roman chamomile, 1 drop basil, 1 drop lavender and 1 drop carrier oil directly to site. Or put oils in a small bowl of cold water, put in a clean washcloth, wring it out and then hold the cloth over the insect bite for one minute. SUNBURN: Mix 5 drops lavender and 3 drops peppermint with 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel. Apply over sunburn. Also, if you have aloe vera liquid, you can make a spray that works really well to alleviate the pain. Essential oils most commonly recommended for children: - Cypress - Frankincense - Geranium - Ginger - Lavender - Lemon - Marjoram - Melaleuca - Wild Orange - Rosemary - Sandalwood - Thyme - Ylang Ylang SAFETY PRECAUTION It is a good idea to dilute all essential oils before applying them on a child s skin, so as to avoid any possible skin irritation. Recommended

17 17 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home dilution is one drop of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, extra-virgin olive oil, fractionated coconut oil, etc. Keep oils out of children s reach. Why Spend More for Quality Essential Oils This was one of my first questions as I learned about essential oils years ago. The first thing I noticed was there is a wide spectrum of prices for essential oils out there. You could pay $5 for one kind of oil by one brand or $50 for a bottle by another brand. What s the difference? I took an aromatherapy course through Dr. Christopher s School of Natural Healing, and one thing I learned is that the same plant can have different compounds and constituents depending upon what variety it is where it s grown, how it s processed and what parts of the plant are used. Usually, there is one specific part of a plant that contains essential oil of the highest medicinal value. Many producers use additional parts of the plant because they smell the same, but they don t have the same amount of compounds or potency. With so many different brands and the plethora of information on the internet, it s hard to determine what oils are best for you and your family. Not all essential oils are created equally. Many essential oils are extracted with chemical solvents. It s hard to remove these solvents completely and makes the production process more expensive. As a result, most companies in the past have not been willing to pay the extra expense to do this

18 18 How to Successfully Use Essential Oils in Your Home extra step or buy more expensive oils extracted a different way. And some companies dilute or adulterate their oils to make more money. In fact, the FDA requires that only 10% of actual oil be present for a company to claim it as being 100% pure. Don t be fooled! The most important thing about essential oils is making sure you re getting a truly quality product. The adage, You get what you pay for is true in this case This is why it s traditionally taught that essential oils should not be taken internally. And it s true that many brands of essential oils are unsafe to take internally. Why I Buy doterra Essential Oils When you begin discovering essential oils, you will find that there are hundreds of varieties, brands, and even friends and family who swear by their brand of oils. It s true that there are many more oils on the market than ever, which can get confusing sometimes.

I would recommend that you do your own research and find what you think fits best for you. Here are some of the reasons why I choose doterra: doterra s oils are 100% pure with absolutely NO fillers. They are therapeuticgrade, or medicinal grade as I call them, which means they are safe to use for therapeutic/medicinal uses.

Because of their pure and natural state, many of doterra oils are safe for ingestion and consumption.

It s because I ve never found another organization at all like them. doterra is absolutely committed to having the purest oils possible. They promote scientific research, they try to partner with conventional medical doctors, and they have the highest standards of quality. I am very loyal to the doterra brand, because they ve raised the bar of quality for essential oils to a very high level. Go ahead. Try some. You ll be able to tell a difference too!
