The most common oils sold?

For me the most regular Essential Oil sold is Deep Blue followed very closely by Lavender, On Guard and then Balance. As an athletics coach I am working with athletes on a regular basis and they have many kinds of injuries and Deep Blue is the product I recommend the most. Depending on the injury there are many blends that I also make up for them to use too. Lavender is my second oil I seem to sell a lot due to sleep and stress mainly, but also to relax in the very busy world we live in. It’s a great one to have at home for popping a drop in the bath to relax, helping with burns and any skin irritations. Then comes On Guard this is another great oil for keeping the immune system fully functioning and staying fit and healthy. This comes in a few different forms the oil, beadlets and softgels. Then the next oil is Balance this is also called the grounding blend as it really supports the body in relaxing and calming way. I’m always working with many individuals both girls and boys suffering with exam anxiety as they seem to be put under so much pressure from schools and also parents on some occasions. I also work with athletes that lack the confidence and think they can’t win or even compete against certain individuals and this oil seems to really help with that. Many business and life coaches also recommend this oil for their clients to help with work and family overload.

Least common oils used and sold?

My least common oils used and sold are Petitgrain, Spikenard, Cilantro, Cassia, Basil, Arborvitae and Juniper Berry.

Who are the other essential oils companies and suppliers?

You can get Essential Oils from High Street stores such as Boots and Holland & Barrett. There are also other companies such as Tisserand, Neil’s Yard, Young Living and many others.

I have seen dōTERRA Essential Oils much cheaper on Amazon!

Yes they are available for purchase on Amazon however I have had a few customers that have had very bad experiences with the oils not being so pure and effective. I have also heard that customers have purchased some oils and that the oils have been further tested and there has been some contaminated items found in them, So I would highly recommend to purchase from a reputable supplier. Here is some further information for you https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-buying-from-trusted-sources

As an employer how can I improve staff wellness through Essential Oils?

This is a very popular question as it would seem employers are wanting to look after their staff and their wellness. I love to work with people that want to help both themselves and their staff be the best people they can be. With the use of a diffuser and certain specific oils we can create the type of environment that suits that individual and company. During work hours and also out of work people have issues and if we can help their emotional state with an oil that is a fantastic opportunity to provide for their happiness and will result in a happier employee. Some examples of oils that could support employees are Peppermint for focus and energy, Wild Orange for uplifting and calming, Lemon for uplifting and fresh clean smell and Lavender for calming a stressful area. These oils can also be applied to the wrist and the back of the neck. Here is some further information for you https://www.oilsbyjo.co.uk/news/article/using-essential-oils-in-the-workplace.html

There are many kinds of stress such as emotional, body and environmental we have a few specific oils that can support stress and calming and they are Lavender, Serenity, Wild Orange, Air, Cheer, Elevation, Deep Blue, Aromatouch, Forgive and Console to name a few.

A diffuser is a plug in device that you add water too and then add 1 drop of the desired Essential Oil. Your sense of smell is the most powerful sense that we have and it changes our emotional state immediately. Here is some further information for you https://www.doterra.com/US/en/brochures-magazines-doterra-living-spring-2015-the-power-of-aroma and https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-why-diffuse-oils

Why are dōTERRA Oils more expensive than high street stores?

There are a number of reasons why people come and work with me and they are that they get a personal individual consultation, they have an ITOVI scan so that we can both see what’s going on within the body the client also gets an emailed copy, emailed information documents for a specific health concern or information on a certain oil, the knowledge and information on where every single bottle of oil is sourced from www.sourcetoyou.com, the only thing in the bottle of oil is the pure Essential Oil there are no other ingredients whatsoever. If you take a bottle of Lemon there are 65 lemon rinds in the bottle and 10,000 rose petals to make a 5ml bottle of Rose Essential Oil. Here is a picture of all the counties where dōTERRA source their oils from:

Where Essential Oils Come From

Why should I buy from you rather than a well known high street shop?

I am able to offer a very personal service to fit around your life and advise on the best oils for your needs at that particular time. I can offer you a free wellness consultation including a ITOVI scan which measures the energy and bio-impedance (body composition) within your body at that time. This report can also be emailed to you for you to read at your leisure. I have a huge amount of literature and documentation to share with you. You can contact me by phone, email, face to face meeting and social media channels at a time to suit you.

How long will the oils last once they are opened?

A dōTERRA bottle of oil will last a long time but to get the most benefit 4 years is recommended once it has been opened.

Do I only use 1 drop at a time?

Yes totally. So many people think I’m joking when I say just 1 drop. They are so pure that that is all you need. Did you know 1 drop of peppermint is the equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea!

I don’t like the taste of some of the oils, how else can I use them?

So you can put the oil in a diffuser or you can rub onto the heels of the feet or add some drops into a capsule and take internally in water or food. Here is some further information for you https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-using-the-herbal-oils

Why do you suggest putting onto the heels of my feet?

When you put a drop of oil onto the heels of the feet it gets into the body with 20-30 seconds and goes to the place that it is needed and starts to work. Some people do not like the smell of some of the oils but know they need to use them so it’s a great way of using them very effectively. Here is some further information for you https://www.oilsbyjo.co.uk/news/article/why-put-essential-oils-on-the-soles-of-the-feet.html

What is Co Impact sourcing?

In addition to supplying the highest quality essential oils doTERRA is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to oil production.

With over 100 essential oils in its product line, doTERRA sources its oils from over 40 countries —more than half of which could be considered developing countries. To ensure that small scale farmers and harvesters in disadvantaged areas are treated ethically, doTERRA has introduced an initiative called Co-Impact Sourcing.

Co-Impact Sourcing is an initiative that seeks to develop long-term, mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in underdeveloped areas. doTERRA is committed to the ethical treatment of its suppliers by providing on-time payments at fair prices. Growers and harvesters are encouraged to form cooperative groups to share collective benefits and bargaining power while improving skills and capacity.

Additionally, the Healing Hands Foundation, doTERRA’s charitable organization, provides funding and resources to create community-based, social-impact projects to improve lives in the larger communities where oils are sourced. Past projects include building or sponsoring existing medical clinics, installing drinking water and irrigation systems, building schools, and providing other educational resources such as vocational training programs. I have lots more information on this website too from many of the wonderful projects.

What are the best oils for training?

I am an Athletics coach so use dōTERRA Essential Oils every day for aches, pains, tendons, muscles issues, growing pains, Osgood schlatters, broken bones, etc. In my experience as a coach I would suggest a drop of Lemon in your water to help keep you hydrated. Deep Blue on the areas that you are going to work (arms, legs) due to the fact this contains peppermint this will start to warm up the muscles and make it easier to do stretches and specific warm up drills. Use Deep Blue before going to bed to help repair the muscles and stop any aches the following morning. Air is great for opening up the airways so for example cold weather training is can really support this. Peppermint can give you energy and focus. If you have an injury there could be a specific oil that could help before, during and after training or competition. The range of vitamins can also support the body with all the nutrients that you need to keep your healthy. We also have a product called Mito 2 Max which can help with energy. Here is some further information for you https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/product-spotlight-supplements-daily-vitality and https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-doterra-for-athletes

What is the best oil for coughs?

I suggest to my clients to smell Air as this seems to support and clear sinus issues very quickly with just 1 long deep breathe in. Eucalyptus and Cardamom is also very good for supporting sinus issues. I have had great success with many people with ongoing dry and persistent coughs with Oregano and Thyme. I also recommend the Vapour stick as this can be rubbed onto the chest and the heels of the feet. If there is a sore throat then you can also gargle on On Guard or Melaleuca or simply add 1 drop to the throat area.

How do I stop my whole family from picking up every cough and cold?

As a family we use On Guard every single evening before bed. We add 1 drop to fractionated coconut oil and rub onto the heels of our feet. For us this seems to keep the immune system topped up. Here is some further information for youhttps://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/on-guard-oil

What is the best oil for study?

We have a focus blend which consists of lovely calming oils such as Lime, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Roman Chamomile, Sandalwood and Patchouli.

Focus Blend Essential Oil

What is Deep Blue and why is it so effective for muscles?

Deep Blue is a blend and contains a few different oils and they are Peppermint, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, Osmanthus, Wintergreen, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum and Camphor. Deep Blue essential oil is designed to help people suffering from any kind of muscle or joint pain. This oil can be diluted with a carrier oil and massaged directly onto the affected area as often as needed to obtain relief from the pain. The most distinctive and appealing aspect of this oil is its ability to treat both mild and severe pain. For instance, Deep Blue can be applied to tired muscles after a long workout, or to children’s legs while they experience growing pains. It can also be used to help heal headaches, bruises, back aches, and many other kinds of muscle pain.

Besides these uses for treating mild, acute muscle and joint pain, however, Deep Blue offers a powerful and effective treatment for chronic and intense pain. For instance, the oil is effective in relieving consumers of the deep aches of fibromyalgia, of the intense pain of sprains and whiplash, and the severity of bone spurs and bone pain. The oil can even be used to treat conditions as severe as scoliosis, sciatica, and herniated discs. As a result, consumers may use this oil to loosen up stiff muscles after working at the computer all day, or use it to alleviate the pain of sever scoliosis. Deep Blue has proven to be equally effective in either situation. Deep Blue may even be used to alleviate certain conditions such as fevers that do not necessarily have to do with the muscles and joints.

Deep Blue works immediately and effectively. The oil can reduce or eliminate pain upon contact, and the effects can last through the next day. In addition to alleviating pain, it can also improve circulation. Here is some further information for you https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/spotlight-deep-blue-soothing-blend

Do you have any suggestions for anxiety especially through exams?

There are quite a number of suggestions that I can make starting with organising your revision time, plenty of sleep, warm bath with Epsom salts and Lavender, turning mobile devices off 1 hour before bed, listening to relaxing music, eat a balanced and healthy diet, drink lots of water (add Lemon), quiet time (Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation). Should you struggle to remember things then Rosemary could possible help with retaining information as could In Tune this is also known as the study blend, should you feel overwhelmed and have anxiety then I can suggest an oil called Balance. This is also called the grounding blend as it has a blend of oils which help with those out of control feelings.

How can I help and share the oils with you?

I have had a number of existing clients ask me this and I think this is because like me we just have a need and desire to help people. To help people whether it is a family member or a friend with their health and wellness in a natural way is such an amazing situation to be in. So what I suggest to people is just get 1 bottle of oil that they have had a great experience with and just share it with family and friends. I can supply some small sample bottles and simply add 5-10 drops of that particular oil and let them know how you have used it (I am always around to help with the use) and let them have their own experience. There is so much information that I am able to provide to you on the oils, all you have to do is ask. If they then want to purchase their own oil then if you have an account you will have a website and they can visit that and place an order. Please just ask if you need any help with this or I can place any orders for you - I’m always happy to help.

What are the costs in getting involved with dōTERRA as I was thinking of adding this to my business to help support my clients even further?

The cost of the kit includes the membership, postage, 25% cheaper products, access to specific links and information and your own website so that you, family and friends can purchase the oils.

I have heard Essential Oils can be dangerous for animals?

Recently there have been a few incidents involving animals being ill from Essential Oils, there are quite a few different stories, I can only comment on what I have heard and read. I am connected to a US vet and she uses dōTERRA in her vets practice and this is where you can find out more about these stories. There is 1 story that I have heard and that was where a diffuser was in a kitchen and a family cat had accidentally knocked over the diffuser and some of the Tea Tree Essential Oil had leaked out and the cat has decided to lick it up. When the owner got home from work the cat was very quiet and not it’s normal self, the owner realised what had happened and called the vet and I’m happy to say the cat is fit and well. Her name is Dr Janet Roark Here are some further information sheets for cats, dogs and horses. .

What’s the difference in the oil, beadlets, capsules or softgels?

These are just the different forms that the oil can come in. Some people prefer to use the oil straight out of the bottle, others prefer to take internally in a capsule, beadlet or softgel. We are all different in our tastes and as such prefer to use the oils in our preferred way. I can make up capsules for people with their required oils. During the cold season I make up the flu bomb for my clients and this is similar to having cold/flu capsules bought from chemists but in a natural way.

I’ve heard Frankincense kills cancer is this true?

This is a question I get asked a great deal. There is so much research on this information. I have personally worked with clients that have had cancer and have a number of clients that are working through cancer at the moment. There is no magic cure it’s about a complete lifestyle change which includes changing the diet, looking at what products you are using that are going into your body, drinking more water, positive mindset, exercising, using Essential Oils and trying to relax whether that is by reading a book, going for a walk, yoga, meditation or mindfulness. This is a great link for information https://draxe.com/frankincense-oil-cancer/

See Cancer Protocol

Do I put the Melaleuca oil in my ear for tinnitus?

No you never put any oils in your ear. The best way to support this is to add 1 drop of Melaleuca to a carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil in the palm of your hand and rub all around the ear and the ear lobe. Melaleuca has anti-viral properties so will be a great support for any ear issues.

How do I dilute and with what?

A number of people I have met have oils and are unsure how to use them. A carrier oil is an oil that you may have in your kitchen cupboards or your beauty cupboards ranging from Olive oil to Coconut oil. Here is some further information on Carrier Oils https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-different-types-of-carrier-oils. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils prior to topical application. The term carrier oil is derived from their purpose in carrying the essential oil onto the skin. It can also drive it into the skin more effective.

How do you know if your oil needs a carrier oil?

On most occasions it is best to use a carrier oil for a number of reasons as the oil will go further, go deeper into the skin and to dilute in some cases.

Are there any dōTERRA oils that are not safe to ingest?

Yes there are. If you look on the side of the bottle it will say the Essential Oil is a food supplement that means it is safe to ingest. If it says Essential Oil then it is not recommended for internal use. Wintergreen, Birch, Cedarwood, Deep Blue, Eucalyptus and White Fir. are a few oils NOT to be ingested. Here is some further information on Ingesting oils https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/science-safety-physiology-safe-to-ingest-essential-oils

What do I do if I use the wrong oil?

Essential oils are all the rage lately, and with good reason. They are a natural remedy with incredible powers. But with great power comes great responsibility, and there are many essential oil resources online giving advice, I would always recommend using a reputable company and advisor.

Because of the strength of essential oils you must use them correctly and dilute as necessary. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any advice or come along to 1 of my events.

Why are some Essential Oils more expensive than others?

If you have ever looked for prices you must have noticed the hefty price tag they come with. What causes the tiny bottles to cost so much? Is it only the branding & marketing hype? May be not. Pure natural essential oils have every reason to be expensive. Let us take a detailed look into these reasons, Originally, essential oils are produced from plant parts & the environment in which the plants are grown majorly influence the quality as well as the quantity of the oil produced. Even the presence of particular chemical compounds in an essential oil often depends on the growing environment of the plant as well as the farming choices of the cultivator.

In order to cultivate a plant that will be used as a raw material for essential oil extraction specific farming conditions need to be maintained, which is available only at a higher cost. The essential oils are produced from different parts of different plants. The handling of the plant parts can have a serious impact on the quality of the oil produced. Moreover, the time of harvesting, even the day or the night, can have a serious impact on the quality of the oil. Some plant parts are required to be processed immediately after harvest to maintain the quality. Hence skilled workforce is necessary. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant constituents and for producing a single drop of essential oil a considerable amount of the raw plant material is needed.

To produce just 1Kg of lavender essential oil around 130kg of lavender flowers are used. A 15ml bottle of pure lavender essential oil that you buy from the store is prepared from around 1.5Kg of lavender flowers.
For producing 500ml of pure rose essential oil around 5000kg of rose petals are needed. The 5ml rose essential oil available in tiny bottles are produced from around 50Kg of rose petals.
To produce around 1kg of lemon essential oil around 3,000 lemons are used. So, a 15ml bottle of lemon essential oil is made from around 50 lemons.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and they differ considerably in molecular structure, chemical composition, therapeutic & cosmetic properties compared to any other oils.

How many drops do I use as surely 1 drop won’t make a difference?

Yes you only use 1 drop at a time, they are such wonderful and powerful oils.

Are there any Essential Oils not safe for babies and children?

There are many highly recommended oils to be used for babies and children. I have many documents that I can share with you that will help support you and your baby and child - click here for PDFs about essential oils and babies and pregnancy and please contact me for any further info.

What are the recommended Essential Oils to use in pregnancy and birth?

More and more people are having natural births and Essential Oils are a huge part of this wonderful experience. Here are a list of frequently used - Ginger is a recommended oil to support sickness, Peppermint is a great support for energy, Lavender is wonderful in the bath along with Epsom salts. Wild Orange is a superb oil to uplift and support emotions!! Clary Sage is the oil ladies use to support them going into labour. During the labour process Lavender, Peppermint and Wild Orange seem to be the most popular for calming, energy and uplifting.blog https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/science-safety-physiology-childbirth-and-essential-oils

Please can you suggest some natural products for teenage skin as my daughter is buying all the synthetic products.

Can I use more than 1 Essential Oil at a time?

Yes you certainly can. I always advise on starting with 1 oil at a time, you can then increase the number of drops or the amount of time you use them throughout the day. During a normal day I use 10-15 drops a day, I take the Life Long Vitality Vitamins which have a number of drops in, I always use lemon in my drinking water, Peppermint and Wild Orange mixed together on the back of my next for focus, energy and uplift and Lavender in the bath as a relax. Here is some great information on using them everyday https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-the-value-of-daily-use

How will I remember how to use the Essential Oils in the kit?

When you purchase a kit through me I add you to a series of 11 emails. You receive an email consisting of video and text everyday about a different oil and all the ways you can use them. So as and when your ready to use that particular oil it will be in your inbox ready for you to read and watch. I am always happy to help with any questions you may have.

What’s your daily routine with the Essential oils and why?

So for me I use the toothpaste first thing, then I have hot water with 2 drops of Lemon oil, I use the body wash, shampoo, conditioner and the body cream. I then have the Life Long Vitamins with Mito2max and then depending on what my day looks like I will usually use Balance, Peppermint and Wild Orange. I add Lemon and Lime to my drinking water throughout the day. I use the emotional oils during the course of the day, such oils as Motivation, Cheer and Passion. When I have a bath with Epsom Salts and Lavender. On Guard before bed.

I think I have had a reaction to an oil my arm is itchy?

Yes this can happen I would always suggest using any carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil to dilute the essential oil on the skin. Do not use water.

Help my son has had an accident and a drop of oil has gone onto his sensitive area what do I do?

Just add any carrier oil to dilute and this applies to any areas that you may think are sensitive.

What is Aromatouch?

Aromatouch is a massage treatment using specific oils to work on reducing stress, boosting the immune system, inflammatory response and homeostasis. There is a blend called Aromatouch. We use this blend on a very regular basis for massage. Here is some further information on Aromatouch . https://www.doterra.com/US/en/aromatouch-technique

How do I learn to do the Aromatouch Massage as I work with in the massage and beauty industry?

There are regular training days in the UK where you can learn this technique. It takes a full day from 10am until 4pm the cost is currently £125 and this includes the training, hand outs and the Aromatouch Oils. Please email me if you would like any further information at jo@oilsbyjo.co.uk.

How do I find out about Essential Oil information and training events?

I carry out regular events from my Oil Shack in Chelmsford, they are for everybody whether you have never used an oil, have a few and not too sure what to do with them, have lots and need more, have lots but not sure what to do with them all, want to know how to build a business around them, have a health issue and need some help and advice, want to implement into your business as an added feature to be different and give more or just want to come and meet some lovely people and learn. Please have a look at this website for all event details.

How do I arrange to have an evening with a few friends and for you to share the oils with them?

All we have to do is find a suitable date and time for us both. I would suggest setting up a facebook event so that I can share some interesting information on what to expect and I share lots of great hints and tips before the day. On the day if you can provide some water for all your friends so that they can smell an oil, drink a drop of lemon oil in the water and then rub and oil onto their wrist. So that they have experienced all the 3 different ways these oils can be used. The event usually lasts about an hour and then there is time for questions and I can provide free samples. For me these events are about education and I don’t ever push sales I just want you to relax and have a fun evening of learning with your family and friends.

Is there a minimum number for a party?

No not at all, I offer personal 121 meetings as well as having a few work colleagues during a lunchtime or family and friends one evening. I tend to find 8 people are a good number for interaction and having fun?

What’s the minimum spend at a party?

I don’t sell anything at parties it is just for education and sharing the power of the oils. I share documents and provide free samples for your family and friends to try. I do recommend setting up a Facebook event so that I can share some top tips before the event on sleeping, stress etc.

Do I need lots of food and drink for a party?

No not at all - all I ask is for a glass of water so that your friends can try a drink with some lemon in - on some occasions people have been known to add lemon and lime to their gin and tonic!!

How can I get involved with dōTERRA?

I would suggest giving me a call on 07770 302504 or send me an email to jo@oilsbyjo.co.uk and we can arrange a call and discuss further.

What’s the best thing about working with dōTERRA?

Wow there are so many that I can think of. Some days are very emotional for me and they are when I see and hear people’s life changing experiences from using the oils. I have 2 clients that always make me emotional as I have been on their journey with them every step of the way and to see their positive results are just phenomenal. I love working with my team empowering them to believe anything and everything is possible and seeing their lives improve by just setting goals and plans together and working together until we get there. Meeting so many wonderful, heart centred people on a regular basis that are on the same wellness and health journey with me and sharing all our knowledge with each other. Seeing the huge benefits that dōTERRA makes to the world - all over the world and in 3rd world countries is just heart warming. The personal development and the training is just mind blowing every single time it just gets better and better.

What’s your favourite oil?

Oh my word - I can’t possible say 1! It changes everyday believe me. Personally I love Aromatouch everyday of the week as it just puts the body in a place of calm . The product that I have had most success with is Deep Blue and very closely followed by Balance. Deep blue for the coaching and Balance for the anxiety issues.

What oils do your daughter’s use most of?

My eldest who is a teacher is On Guard and Melaleuca to keep her immune system topped up and the youngest who is the athlete lavender, Air and Wild Orange.

What’s your favourite emotional oil?

That’s an easy one for me - Cheer, this to me is like sunshine in a bottle. I also use Motivate on a regular basis too.

What’s the hardest thing about working with dōTERRA?

I think this has to be not being able to help everyone and people not using the oils after they have purchased them from other people. If you meet anyone like that send them my way, I just love helping people. I also do a lot of cross team training because I want to empower as many people as possible to share these oils, whether they are in my team or not. Finding out people just turn to tablets as they are unaware that there is a natural way, hoping 1 day I will get to share these amazing products with them.

I’ve heard there is a lot of chemicals in products now such as shampoos and body creams, why is this and do you have a natural solution?

Unfortunately that is true!! We have some natural products such as shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, face creams, laundry detergent and a spa range too, I am happy to forward any of this information to you so you can read and digest. All of doTERRA’s products are natural.
Click image for PDF

Just read about the nasty products in toothpaste, do you have something that is natural?

Yes that’s true and it’s not good for the future for people. We have a lovely toothpaste which contains Peppermint and On Guard, its lovely too. Would you like to try a free sample?

Please also see my blog >>>>

How can I try dōTERRA products as they are quite expensive and I don’t know if I will like them or if they will work?

DōTERRA products are all natural and that is why they can be more expensive than other companies however they are more cost effective as you only ever need to use 1 drop at a time compared with possibly more drops with other companies. I am happy to provide samples for you to use and have your own experience and I would appreciate some feedback so that I know they have worked for your particular issue. We will try as many samples and products as we need to ensure that you have the best outcome.

Rollerballs are small glass jars that we can customize to your particular oil requirements. So we add the oil and then fill up with coconut oil to make it easier for you to use as you simply roll the oil on to the areas of concern.

Great question, a lot of this comes from experience, Modern Essentials book and app and many of the doTERRA websites. Here is some great information for you to read https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-describe-a-scent and look at this properties wheel http://media.doterra.com/us/en/flyers/oil-properties-wheel.pdf

Here are some further great links of information. https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/oils-in-the-home-nursery .

So my eldest daughter is a teacher too and is currently teaching Year 2 so ages 5-6 and had originally had lots of coughs, colds, sickness and nits until we got the Family Kit. This kit has really helped her. She uses all of the oils in the kit on a regular basis but for focus and energy Peppermint in her favourite (also good for headaches). For calming during the stressful situations its Lavender. She prefers the rollerballs (touch) so that she can roll them on quickly and keep them in her handbag.

Im going travelling for a while, what would you suggest taking with me?

Ok so I often get asked this question. I always ask what countries are you visiting and when are you travelling as with most countries the climates change throughout the year. The basic 1st aid kit I would suggest would be ZenGest for tummy, Terrashield for insect repellant, for jet lag Peppermint and Lavender. Lavender is also good for sunburn, bites and rashes. Deep Blue for aches and pains and if any physical activity and On Guard for immune support the amount of people that cough and splutter when on an aeroplane is huge. Here us some more information https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-using-essential-oils-while-traveling

I have read that you can’t use the oils outside, why is that?

Ok so this maybe because we have a number of our oils that are photo-sensitive so you need to be careful. Some of the oils contain compounds that makes skin more sensitive. Here is a great video to explain more. https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/healthy-living-summer-essential-oil-safety

Lavender for calming the body and the skin and for a restful sleep. TerraShield insect repellent for school trips during the warmer weather. Peppermint for energy, focus and headaches. Melaleuca (Tea Tree) to add to your shampoo or conditioner to help protect against head lice. Wild Orange for the times when you need a bit of emotional support. If you are able to have a diffuser in the classroom with a drop of On Guard and Wild Orange that would be amazing to have as a great protection against airborne particles.

My work involves lots of exams and study what oils could help me?

Yes sure I would like to recommend Rosemary to help with memory.

I work with people that have cancer what are the best oils to help them with their emotions and mindset and to generally help them feel better?

Having worked with many clients during this sensitive time I would recommend Frankincense as this seems to help people on all levels of spiritually, physically and mentally. A citrus oil such as Wild Orange, Lemon, Citrus Bliss or Bergamot is always a good idea in a diffuser as they are so uplifting and can lift a mood in seconds. Ginger is wonderful for any feelings of nausea and the metal taste left in the mouth after chemotherapy. Frankincense can be used in a diffuser, rubbed down the spine with a carrier oil or a drop under the tongue.

I tend to have a massage most evenings and I will use Aromatouch and Deep Blue.

I have been working with clients with these issues and can recommend a few oils – a good all around oil is Copaiba as this oil seems to really calm areas of concern and can support you feeling calm, increases energy and has been able to help with pain in a few cases. For energy I would also suggest Peppermint. A few of my clients get quite sad so Wild Orange always seems to help lift their mood.

My ears are itchy, do you have an oil that could help me?

This is also an issue I suffer with occasionally and I use Melaleuca Touch all around my ears and this really seems to help me. Great one for taking on holiday for use on the plane and also after being in the swimming pool.

Yes it certainly is as it contains Peppermint which is great for pain. Simply add a very small amount onto your finger and rub onto your temples. Make sure you wash your hands after application as it could make your eyes water.

I read a review recently about using an oil for fertility – what one is that

Ok so the recommended oil is called Clary Calm and it is a roll on oil. So I would suggest using this oil 3-4 times per day on the back of your neck and all over the tummy area. It also balances emotions so a great all around oil. It is a blend and contains Clary Sage and Lavender. Just beautiful.

Do you have an oil for fibromyalgia?

Yes and this is a very popular question. I have had amazing results with an oil called Wintergreen and I suggest using this by adding a drop to any creams you currently use and then massaging onto the areas of pain/concern. Many of my clients do this 3-4 times per day and have had great results.

What’s the best way to use Copaiba?

Ok so it depends what you are using it for. If it is for pain then I would suggest adding 1-2 drops to any carrier oil or cream and massaging onto area of concern. If it is for calming/sleeping then onto the heels of the feet and wrist as/when needed. Many people have a drop in their tea or coffee each day as a maintenance action.

I have seen people use Copaiba for animals – can I have some further information please?

Yes of course – I would suggest adding 1 drop to your animals feed on a daily basis. You can also add 1 drop and massage into their fur as a lovely relaxing thing to do.

Can’t sleep, I used 10 drops of lavender on my pillow.

Aagh no that it because you have use far too much. In this case it is definitely less is more. You only need 1-2 drops maximum or it will have the opposite effect. Add I drop to your wrists and back of your neck after dinner. This will start to calm the mind and body. Then before bed on the heels of your feet and possibly a drop on a tissue in your pillow. Try that and let me know how you get on.

My husband is very stressed with work pressure, what oil would you recommend?

Great question – is it for sleep or general calming?
