Thyme 10% off in July

Thyme, familiar to most as a common

seasoning for cooking, produces an essential

oil that has valuable cleansing and clarifying

properties. It is also notable for its broadspectrum

activity for winter health. For

aromatic, topical, or dietary use.

ZENDOCRINE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR CLEANSING

Zendocrine™ essential oil blend is a proprietary blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils of clove, grapefruit, rosemary, and geranium that have been studied for support of the cleansing organs of the body with a focus on the liver. The blend is formulated to be used individually or in combination with the Zendocrine botanical extract complex.    
The following is taken from the Zendocrine Detoxification Complex concept information: The body's filtering and waste management system is quite capable of managing a certain amount of exposure to toxic influencers. But in a modern world of environmental pollutions and harmful chemicals found in prepared foods, beauty products, treated water, etc. the body's filtering system can be significantly challenged. Just as a filter in a car, furnace, or coffee machine can plug up over time, your body's filtering organs can also become "plugged" with toxins. Healthy organs have the capacity to "clean" or "unplug" themselves under normal conditions, but many sub-optimal health conditions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and skin can result from an overexposure and buildup of toxicity in these vital organs.

The benefits of OREGANO essential oil

There have been countless research efforts that prove Oregano is a potent bacterial and virus killer. I challenge you to research this for yourself. I have been using Oregano for several years and I can without a doubt tell you that it works. The following is a summary of the health benefits for oregano.
As most of us know, an antibiotic prescription given at the doctor’s office is useless against viral infections which is what causes colds and the flu. The flu virus mutates constantly. Although labs cook up an antiviral cocktail containing several previous flu viruses, chances are slim that those same viruses will attack again and thus your body will not have resistance to new ones lurking around the corner.

Daily doses (three drops three times a day) will help keep your immune system strong enough to fight off most cold and flu viruses. Should one sneak in, conduct a full frontal attack by getting lots of sleep, drinking plenty of water and taking frequent dosages of oregano oil to stop it in its tracks. Hepatitis and Herpes are two other viral infections which have responded well to treatment with Oregano oil.

Oregano oil also works as an antibiotic, meaning it doesn’t just protect against viruses but also against bacteria. It has been shown in lab tests to be as effective as one of the strongest antibiotics (Vancomycin) in killing staph, E.coli and other bacteria. It does this without creating mutant strains of drug resistant bacteria and it has none of the debilitating side effects of pharmaceutical antibiotics.
For AIDS and cancer patients, diabetics and those bedridden in hospital, oregano oil is a defensive weapon against potentially deadly bacteria. It is easy to take and effective against many known forms of pathogens.

North Americans suffer from a virtual epidemic of candida infection. Candida albicans is a form of fungus that occurs naturally in the gut. Antibiotics kill some of the good flora in the intestinal tract. This allows the candida to multiply unchecked. Candida feeds on sugar and refined grains. With the North American diet being high in both of these, candida quickly multiplies and ends up in the bloodstream. Nail fungus, thrush, skin disorders, vaginal yeast, allergies and chronic fatigue are only a few of the annoying symptoms caused by candida infection. Oregano oil is also effective to treat fungal infections.

Oregano oil is a powerful antiparasitic. In studies done in Mexico it was shown to be effective against giardia, a water borne parasite that our Ontario readers may be familiar with. Pinworms and other nasty creatures that often inhabit our intestines are subject to termination by oregano oil.
Travel in public carriers can be hazardous to your health even if no terrorists are aboard. The closed environment and recirculated air give a good guarantee that breathing the effluvia under such conditions will result in a vacation flu, just what you don’t want. So carry your oregano oil with you on the plane, train or bus. When you arrive in those warmer climates you can avoid food poisoning and Monteczuma’s revenge by taking a few drops before or after meals and by adding a drop or two to the water.

Teeth and gums benefit greatly from oral application of oregano oil since it destroys the bacteria that form plaque and cause gum disease. You may put a drop or two under the tongue and then swish it around in your mouth before swallowing or put a drop on your toothbrush when you clean your teeth.
Inflammation is a component of not only of many infections but also diseases, especially those involving joints and tendons. An article published in Phytotherapy Research describes how Oregano oil superseded anti-inflammatory drugs in reversing pain and inflammation and is nearly as powerful as morphine as a pain killer. It has the ability to penetrate the skin and reach as far as the sinovial fluid in joints. It may help to alleviate arthritis, carpal tunnel, sports injuries and even backache. Rub the oil on the skin to cover the affected area in addition to taking it internally.

Do not confuse the medicinal wild Mediterranean oregano for what is sometimes called oregano in the marketplace. What you find on the grocery store shelf is usually Spanish marjoram and does not share the true wild oregano’s therapeutic qualities. The best therapeutic oregano grows wild in the Mediterranean and has been known since Hippocrate’s time to be a powerful medicinal plant.
Olive oil is used to dilute pure oregano oil because, in its pure form, the oil is far too caustic. This is primarily due to the predominant phenol carvacrol, which accounts for a large percentage of the composition of oregano oil. Please beware of taking the pure essential oil as it could harm you. It must be properly diluted to be effective and safe. Tests show that most people respond best to one part oregano to four parts olive oil. Extra strength products are not more effective. They are difficult for the body to assimilate and are extremely unpalatable as well as being potentially hazardous.
Recently, the FDA has started to allow vendors of olive oil to make qualified statements concerning its health benefits. However, these benefits only occur when at least two tablespoons of oil are taken a day. Whether the edible oil is olive, flax seed, coconut, palm or hemp seed oil, the same intake level of two tablespoons daily is required to produce results.

As an average dose of oregano oil is about nine drops (or one third of a milliliter) per a day, do not expect to derive any benefit from the edible oil that it is mixed with. Do ensure that the edible oil is fresh and certified organic to remove the possibility of rancidity or pesticide contamination. If you have a health challenge, you certainly don’t need further assault from chemical contamination.
The next cold you get—try Oregano instead and see the difference!

Leah Karrati

Where's the nearest restroom?!!" That was my secret and often my first thought when entering a restaurant, a volleyball tournament, or moving into my new classroom. Yes, I've been a teacher, athlete and just an avid food-lover! Worrying about my digestive issues used to be a constant concern for me but it's a concern no longer! Here's my solution: Lifestyle change, both physical and spiritual.
God brought doTERRA into my life when I went to a restaurant in Hawaii with a few friends and family. Before the meal even arrived I felt a stomach attack coming on and I knew I'd have to end the evening early...at least that's what I thought. I excused myself from the table and whispered to a friend that I was in pain and she came to my aid with doTERRA's essential oil blend, Digestzen! A few drops in a mouthful of lemonade and 10 seconds later the pain was gone! Completely gone!!
If you're saying, "yeah, right?!" then you're having the same thoughts I did in that moment. "No way!" I said it out loud. But what I say to you now is that you don't have to take my word for it. However, when you're sitting there in pain and wishing you had a lifeline that's natural, safe, fast, and effective you're gonna regret not having a small bottle of essential oils within your grasp.
My story is a secret no longer! Today I share my story with whomever I come in contact with. My mission is to offer others natural and safe solutions to their health concerns, concerns that people like me have been searching for including using doTERRA's essential oils I moderate what I eat, take the time to play, pray, and pass it on. Today I share the love of a healthy lifestyle change all over the country and invite you to do the same...come and find solutions!
 
Leah is a former althlete and elementary school teacher. She is a doTERRA Silver and resides in Honolulu, HI. She travels across the nation as a natural health coach and doTERRA educator. Need help with doTERRA? Contact your sponsor today.

dōTERRA WOMEN - NEW!



dōTERRA WOMEN is a new line of products formulated to address the unique and changing health needs of women. Beginning as a young adult, almost every function of a woman’s body will be controlled by hormones. A balance of normal hormone levels will influence a woman’s good health and emotional well-being from her early teens to her transition through menopause. Phytoestrogen Lifetime ComplexTM and Bone Nutrient Lifetime Complex™ provide nutritional support to help manage the hormonal factors associated with degenerative conditions associated with menopause and aging, while SolaceTM monthly essential oil blend provides temporary relief from the emotional and physical symptoms associated with regular hormone cycles in women. Based on the latest scientific research and standardized plant extracts, the dōTERRA Women line of products provides natural support for women throughout the different phases of their lifetime.

At the convention, Dr. Hill stressed the importance of this new line in the health of women but he also wanted to let everyone know that this new line does not replace the Life Long Vitality Supplements, this is an addition to the current supplements. Those who have started the Women's Health line in addition to the Life Long Vitality Supplements have shown incredible results.

PHYTOESTROGEN LIFETIME COMPLEX ™
dōTERRA Women Phytoestrogen Lifetime Complex is a blend of natural plant extracts that support hormone balance throughout the different phases of a women’s life. Phytoestrogen Lifetime Complex include a standardized soy extract with genistein,a powerful phytoestrogen that binds with estrogen receptors in cells, and the natural phytoestrogens in pomegranate. It also includes a concentrated extract of flax seed lignans to help manage potentially harmful metabolites that are produced when estrogen is metabolized in the liver. Balancing hormones and managing harmful metabolites by eating a healthy diet rich in phytoestrogens and other essential nutrients, exercising, and managing weight can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms associated with PMS and the transition through menopause and supports healthy bones, heart, breast tissue, and other body structures and functions as a women ages
3526 60 capsules Retail Price: $52.67

BONE NUTRIENT LIFETIME COMPLEX ™
Women begin to build bone mass at an early age reaching a maximum bone density in their late twenties. As a woman ages, bone mass begins to decline and bones become more brittle. Declining bone density and health can be accelerated in women whose diets do not include optimal levels of bone nutrients and whose hormones are out of balance. Not managing harmful estrogen metabolites can also accelerate bone degeneration or wasting. dōTERRA’s Bone Nutrient Lifetime Complex is a blend of vitamins and minerals that are essential for bone health including vitamins C and D, calcium, magnesium, and other trace minerals. Bone Nutrient Lifetime Complex can be used by women (and men) of all ages as a dietary supplement to conveniently increase consumption of the bone nutrients found in healthy foods but often deficient in our modern diets.

October 2011

We'll be at the Kapolei Open Market on the second Saturday in October from 8 am to 2 pm.  We'll be featuring flu season kits. Stop by and see us! Mention our blog and pick up a free bottle of essential oil.  Thanks!

Family Physician Kit


Every home needs ten basic essential oils.  These oils are found in the Family Physician Kit!

1.  Lavender - It is the most versatile and popular oil. It is great for burns and takes aways pain and blistering fast! It works very well as a sleep aid and it has a very calming effect. It also works as an antihistamine and provides relief from insect bites. Rub on your feet each night for relaxation, or headache relief.

2.  Lemon - Use a drop of lemon every day in your water to keep your body acid free (alkaline). Lemon helps clean your lymphatic system.  It is excellent for sore throats-- just place a droop on your tongue or gargle with lemon water. You can also use it as a cleaning agent. Lemon oil will clean ninety-nine percent of bacteria.

3.  Peppermint - It has been double-blind studied against Tylenol and was proven to be just as effective in treating headaches.  Peppermint Oil was reported by the Mayo Clinic as being the most promising treatment for I.B.S.  It is fantastic for digestive issues and when inhaled it will stimulate the brain to increase alertness.

4.  Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil) - This is fantastic for acne since most acne medications are antibacterial creams, melaleuca is antibacterial.  It is also great for most skin conditions: general rashes, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, and MRSA.  It will work really well for pink eye.  You can rub it on your head to control dandruff and on your chest for coughs.

5.  Deep Blue  -  It reduces inflammations and relieves sore muscles and back aches.  Use this oil on all sport related injuries and will also relieve headaches.

6. Oregano - It is your heaviest fighter oil with several studies proving its ability to kill MRSA (staff infection). It is one of the most important oils to use when fighting any infection. It is a very hot oil and must be diluted with any carrier oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Almond Oil etc) to apply topically.
7. On Guard - This oil helps to strengthen your immune system.  This is great for disinfecting via a diffuser.  Rub this on your feet every night for cold prevention.

8.  Breathe - Use this oil from respiratory infections or coughs.  Rub it on your chest to help combat congestion.  Rub on chest and under your nostrils to help with snoring.  Unlike other Vapor Rubs, Breathe will actually assist your body in fighting off the infection.

9.  DigestZen - this blend will work for any digestive disorder: Acid Reflux, heartburn, H.Pylori Bacteria, diarrhea, Constipation, IBS, etc. Rub four drops of DigestZen on your stomach for all the above.  Seventy percent of your immune function is through your GI so if you have a compromised GI you have a compromised immune system. Using DigestZen will help strengthen immune system.

10. Frankincesnse - This oil will help increase the amount of oxygen in the limbic system of the brain  This will lead to an increase of secretions of antibodies, endorphins and neurotransmitters.  Frankincense has the ability to break the blood-brain barrier and has show promising effects in people suffering from depression and addictions.  It can be used as an anti-depressant, anti-infectious, antiseptic and antitumoral.

To blend your own massage oil, add 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oil to 1 oz. Fractionated Coconut oil.

 Add 10 drops of essential oil to a box of cornstarch or baking soda, mix very well, let set for a day or two and then sprinkle over the carpets on your home. Let set for an hour or more, and then vacuum.

To make a natural flea collar, saturate a short piece of cord or soft rope with Melaleuca oil, roll up in a handkerchief and tie loosely around the animal's neck.

Shoes can be freshened by either dropping a few drops of Geranium essential oil directly into the shoes or by placing a cotton ball dabbed with a few drops of Lemon oil into the shoes. Athlete's foot? Melaleuca is great!

Put a few drops of your favorite essential oil on a cotton ball and place it in your vacuum cleaner bag. Lemon and Purify are nice. Geranium helps with pet odors.

Homemade sachets are more fragrant when essential oils are blended with the flowers and herbs.

An essential oil dropped onto a radiator scent ring or light bulb will not only fill the room with a wonderful fragrance, but will also set a mood such as calming or uplifting. (Don't put essential oil in the socket.)

A few drops of your favorite oil or blend in the rinse water of your hand washables makes for pleasant results.
Melaleuca oil has been used by fishermen for years. Use a drop or two on the fingertips before baiting up. Melaleuca covers up the human scent that scares the fish away.

To dispel mosquitoes and other picnic pests, drop a few drops of Terra Shield on the melted wax of a candle or place a few drops on the Bar-B-Q hot coals.

1 drop of Lemon essential oil applied directly to a wart is an effective means of elimination. Apply the essential oil daily until the wart is gone.

Rosemary promotes alertness and stimulates memory. Inhale occasionally during long car trips and while reading or studying.

Selling your home? Fragrance sells! Fill the kitchen area with the aroma of spices such as Clove, Lavender and Elevation by simmering them on the stove or in your diffuser. Geranium oil sprinkled throughout the home creates a warm, cheerful and inviting mood. Add Cinnamon oil to furniture polish and wipe down the wood.
