Interesting

Have had some allergies come and visit me this week. I have to avoid my Allergy Bomb rollerball due to the peppermint because I am breastfeeding. So melaleuca has been my savior. I add it to the bridge of my nose to help with the runny nose. Works like a charm!!

How amazing is this!

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is researching how essential oils can be used to improve the health of children. Can essential oils help relieve a child's headache, ease nausea or soothe anxiety?

I do not have horrible anxiety about going to the dentist but serenity and balance help relax me for laying in that chair.

Another reason these oils are soooo amazing! My 2 year old has developed a fear of trains and sirens, which seems like over night. An ambulance went by last night and he was petrified. Clung to me like a spider monkey. For an hour he was stuck to me, when I say stuck...ok his head was on my head, his shoulder up in my chin, legs wrapped around my waste, one arm around my neck and the other clung to his blanket. After a hour, I could feel his head bobbing, so I thought it would be ok to peel him off and rock. Nope! All out shaking, screaming so scared and eyes wouldn't even blink scared.
I said should we go get some oils buddy. Head shook yes. Serenity was my choice. As he was still playing spider monkey, I grab the oil out of my case. On his pj shirt and bottom of his feet it went. 5 minutes later, calm, relaxed and mom can breathe again. 5 minutes after that, snoring. Still sleeping. It would have been a long night for us if it weren't for Serenity!
Man I love our oils!!💗

Emily Wright just posted this minutes ago.
Some of you may have become aware of the photos of a woman's burned neck that were posted on Facebook and have since gone viral. She claims to have applied doTERRA's Wild Orange followed by hot yoga and a tanning bed. We have no record of a product purchase by Elise Nguyen. She is not in our system. She has not reported an adverse event with the company. The only contact information we have is her Facebook account where she posted the photos. Our Product Safety team has attempted to reach out to her with absolutely no response from Ms. Nguyen. Sadly we have received some media inquiries about this incident. We want to make sure you are equipped to respond should you be asked. Here is our official statement:

"We at dōTERRA were saddened to see the ordeal Elise Nguyen has endured due to a combination of hot yoga, essential oils, a tanning bed, and perhaps other factors. Since learning of this incident, we have been attempting to reach out to Ms. Nguyen to find out more about her experience. Safety is a top priority for dōTERRA and we collect a record of all adverse reactions. We are grateful that our adverse reaction rate is an almost negligible .0072%, but we take each incident very seriously. We label our products to help our customers avoid any potential issues, no matter how rare, and provide a great deal of education on our website, through extensive trainings at dōTERRA events, and through our Wellness Advocates. In addition, we encourage any customer who has product questions to please call our product support number at 1.800.411.8151 or via email at service@doterra.com.

Some comments have discussed the chemistry of dōTERRA’s Wild Orange essential oil. Using GCMS and specifically SIM (selective ion monitoring), our scientists can confirm that no furanocoumarins are present in our Wild Orange. This analysis is in line with published findings (Essential Oil Safety) for Citrus Sinsensis.

As a reminder, we recommend that everyone use properly diluted application techniques and, as Ms. Nguyen noted, dōTERRA cautions users to avoid contact with the sun (or tanning beds) after applying cold pressed oils, including citrus oils. We have posted an episode featuring Dr. Hill that more thoroughly addresses safe oil usage and other sensitivity related issues. We also have posted condensed
versions of the episode that address adverse events and safe essential oil usage."

We use Past tense on the back of our neck and temples. River gets peppermint on his feet when running a fever to drop his fevers faster. Along with other oils all over. My seasonal bomb goes on my wrist and behind my ears for allergies. There are so many options for so many needs.
