I remember when I was growing up there was always a withering piece of cut onion sitting on the kitchen windowsill in my Aunty's home. She always said it helps to prevent us getting sick. I also remember when we were bitten by any type of insect my mother would immediately cut an onion in half and rub it on the bite. I carried on these traditions with my own family, but it wasn't until I was older that I looked into just how this dried up piece of onion was stopping us from getting sick and why rubbing onion on a bite always took the sting away. I was amazed to find just how powerful onions are and that they were actually worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. They believed that the onion's rings symbolised eternity. Onions were also a prized food of the wealthy in ancient China. I found so much interesting information about this common vegetable that we have come to think of as just something to add flavour to our meals. My favourite health guru Don Tol...

Welcome You are now  a Wholesale Customer of  th e  world’s leading essential oil company. It’s an awesome feeling knowing that you have the purest and most potent essential oils at your fingertips. I'm so happy we are on the same dōTERRA team. dōTERRA, meaning  "Gift of the Earth," sources its oils from all over the world.  About 2/3 of the countries  dōTERRA  sources  from are third-world countries .  The plants are grown where they indigenously grow and thrive.

How awesome is it to know that the bottles of oil we are using not only benefit us but also the person who so carefully grew it for...

Poor air flow in our homes can allow pollutants to become stagnant and this affects the quality of the air. The toxins come from new furniture, carpet, paint etc and they can weaken our immune system and make us sick. We can't control the environment but in our home, there is a lot we can do. I don't want my family breathing toxic air that is low in oxygen. Especially since we spend more time in our home than anywhere else.  We have evaporative air cooling because we live in a very hot climate. If kept clean, I believe this is much healthier for us than any other systems because it is not recycling the same air over and over. I love the fact that we can keep our doors and windows open while the cooling system is on. I keep it clean by using a few drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil in the water once every week or so and cleaning the pads often. According to my favourite health guru Don Tolman, air purifies itself every four and a half metres that it moves. Which me...

My favourite subject "Oils". doTERRA Essential Oils are very potent. Because they don't have any fillers or nasty additives they are just pure oils which are powerful. You only have to open a bottle and you can smell the purity. Less is always more. I start with one or two drops because I can always add more. I find they work better by layering just one or two drops at a time. For example, when I apply my Balance every day I take one drop and massage it in. If I feel I need more I wait awhile and then add another drop in the same spot. This is much more effective than adding four drops at once. So apply a little often. It is so important to remember 'not' to use your oils in plastic cups or bottles and don't add them to plastic compartments in your washing machine, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher etc. Essential oils and most plastics do not mix. They will draw the toxins out of plastic and break it down. The same as they do to the toxins in our bod...

Clary Sage is one very special oil. Especially for women. It contains natural phytoestrogens which are known as dietary oestrogen. This helps reduce the risk of many ailments that we women in the modern day world are often concerned about. We can get these benefits by smelling it straight from the bottle. Dilute Clary Sage and massage into affected area to relieve period discomfort. Put a couple of drops in a nice warm bath to help you unwind. You can take one or two drops in a veggie cap to calm your nervous system. Diffuse at night for a peaceful sleep. Apply it diluted to your feet and back of your neck when you are feeling hot and flushed. Clary Sage relaxes our brain and arteries which makes it very effective in helping our circulation. By sending more oxygen to our muscles and organs it aids in digestion. It helps our body absorb vitamins and minerals more easily. Supports healthy cholesterol levels. Diffuse with Tangerine or Wild Orange when y...
