When in doubt use Frankincense! Frankincense is known as the king of essential oils for a good reason. I take a drop of Frankincense under my tongue morning and night for overall health and managing stress. I also put a drop on my thumb and apply it to the roof of my mouth to relieve headaches and head tension. I dab it directly onto wrinkles as it hydrates my skin and improves the appearance. I use Frankincense in almost all of my blends because it's such an amazing oil, but also because it boosts the healing power of the other oils. Some other uses for Frankincense: You  can also add it to your daily moisturiser.  Frankincense works on a cellular level   It can be applied topically to rejuvenate skin Promotes cellular health Use on cuts and skin irritations Calming and relaxing Rub a drop into your nails and cuticles for healthy fingernails Natural way to boost your mood Use on age spots I am never without my Frankincense ...

Past Tense is known as the Tension Blend or the Relaxation Blend I can't say enough about Past Tense. It is often my saviour, as I suffer a lot of head, neck and jaw tension. It actually teaches your body how to be calm and relaxed. Past Tense helps you release fears that cause tension. It's a must if you're stressed, overworked or fatigued. You can apply it under your nose and to the back of your neck to help with a hangover. I haven't tried this yet but I'm interested to give it a go. Let me know if you have tried it for hangovers. Past Tense is awesome for headaches, tension and muscle pain. It increases blood flow and the smell is just amazing. You can buy it here and read what doTERRA says about it here .

Peppermint oil is the perfect oil to travel with. I keep ours in the console. On our 10 hour drive home recently,  I used it to massage into hubby's neck and shoulders to relieve discomfort as he drove. I put drops on wooden pegs clipped onto the air con vents (we don't have a car diffuser yet) as peppermint oil is good for mental focus and boosts energy naturally. I took a drop under my tongue when we stopped in a small town and I started sneezing and getting itchy eyes. Fixed it within minutes. I also put a dot on my lip when I felt a cold sore coming on. Stopped it in its tracks. You can use it on your tummy for motion sickness or reduce hunger cravings Use on your temples and back of neck to ease headaches It's a natural bug repellant Relieves sunburn Soothes itches and skin irritations It even freshens your breath Of course, it's not only good for travelling.  I use it every day at home too. It also smells delicious. I diffuse it almost every morni...
