We get a lot of questions about how to use essential oils. Some people don’t know what they’re for, and some people don’t know what to do with them once they have them. So, in this episode, we will walk you through ways we’ve used low-tox products today!
It is no secret we love our doTERRA oils and products, so all of the items below are, of course, doTERRA… the other thing to note, these were what was used on the day of recording, every day there is something slightly different in the diffuser…
A day in the life of Jo…
- Tangerine Essential Oil: Used in her bedroom diffuser for a fresh, uplifting start to the day.
- Peppermint Shampoo and Conditioner: As someone with thick hair, and lots of it, I am loving these products. My family uses them also.
- Moisturising Bath Bar (aka Soap): Yes, I showered today, lol.
- Verage Skin Care Collection: This is one of the best skin care products I have ever used. It consists of a Cleanser, Toner, Serum, and Moisturiser – $100 for all 4 products. It’s such good value for money.
- Easy Air Touch Roll-On: Used today as I had a bit of a blocked nose.
- Citrus Bloom Essential Oil: I had this going in the diffuser – it is both calming and uplifting all at the same time – what I need for an office day.
- Nutrition Whey Protein Powder: I have tasted and wasted many protein powders over the years, but this is a winner. It’s delicious and doesn’t leave a weird aftertaste. It is a regular go-to breakfast drink, coupled with eggs on toast.
- Ice Blue Polyphenol Complex Supplements: As I am training for a half-ironman event, I need a lot of additional support and this is fantastic for faster muscle recovery and inflammation.
- Lifelong Vitality Supplements: These are the most pimped-up multivitamins going around! They are fully bioavailable which means your body absorbs the whole lot! Better sleep equals better recovery time.
- Turmeric DuoCap: I am obsessed with these; they are dual-chamber capsules that contain turmeric essential oil in one chamber and turmeric extract in the other. It is no secret just how good turmeric is for overall bones and joint movement, as well as for inflammation.
- Laundry Liquid: How many loads of laundry do I do in a day… too many to count!
- MetaPWR Advantage: This is a collagen drink that contains nine types of collagen tripeptides from marine sources, which support skin elasticity in females, increase hydration, and assist connective tissue production when dietary intake is inadequate – which I know mine would be.
A day in the life of Tracey…
- Essential Oils: I tend to wake up and turn all the diffusers on first thing, before my morning walk. I also use them in the shower (just a drop in the corner of the shower floor) to help start the day right.
- MetaPWR Advantage: I’ll drink this when I return from my walk, right before having breakfast. It is a good habit stack as it also reminds me to take my other supplements.
- MetaPWR Essential Oil: This is an essential oil blend that is part of the MetaPWR system, and you’ll find this in my office diffuser most days. It has peppermint and grapefruit and a few other oils that help keep me on task.
- Laundry Powder: Such an easy low-tox swap to make.
- Eucalyptus Essential Oil: I love adding a few drops to the laundry powder or liquid, as it leaves a nice smell, but it is also great for killing mould. My washing machine no longer gets that horrid buildup and the only thing I changed is using 5-10 drops per load.
- Verage Skin Care Collection: Hands down the best skincare system I have ever used!!! And I don’t say that lightly.
- Patchouli Essential Oil: I’ll use this sometimes as a deodorant. It is great for non-active days, or if I do plan on a workout then I just reapply as needed.
- Jasmine Touch Roll-On: I am in love with Jasmine, it is my perfume of choice at the moment.
- Nutrition Whey Protein Powder: I tend to make pancakes out of this, either for breakfast or lunch.
- DIY Hand Wash: I have DIY handwash in my bathrooms, as well as the kitchen. It is a simple combination of liquid castile soap, water, and essential oils. I also use this as my body wash in the shower.
Why doTERRA?
What separates doTERRA from other brands is that they are the largest essential oil company in the world and for good reason – they are a trusted brand known for its commitment to producing high-quality, non-adulterated essential oils, along with a range of natural products that support various aspects of health and well-being.
But what we love the most is that it is a fantastic one-stop shop. They have everything we need when it comes to low-tox living – all our skincare, haircare, supplements, protein powders, deodorants, perfumes, and, of course, essential oils.
If you would like to get them for wholesale prices (which is 25% off retail) it is as simple as choosing a starter pack, or any items of your choice, and creating an account of your own: additivefreelifestyle.com/instructions
No, you don’t need to sell them, nor do you have to buy something every month. It is not icky like that, just order what you want, whenever you want.
It is actually one of the easiest low-tox choices we have ever made!
