10 Basic Oils Every Family Needs

You might be asking yourself "Why do I even need essential oils when I can just go to the Doctor?" The reason is: Essential Oils are a safer, more natural approach to medicine with no side affects. Eighty percent of the time your illness is a viral infection and there is no "over the counter" medicine to combat a virus, however, Essential Oils have several studies showing there ability to supress a viral infection. Did you know that we are amid the largest drug shortage in US history? Are you aware of the rising problem of antibiotic resistant bacteria? The CDC has stated that antibiotic resistance is the number one public health concern worldwide. Each drop of essential oil contains a different amount of compounds making it impossible for the bacteria to build up resistance.

Every home needs ten basic essential oils. These oils are found in doTERRA's Family Physician Kit. This kit has completely replaced my medicine cabinet. Here are a few ways that I have had success in using the oils in this 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 a natural antihistamine and provides relief from insect bites and allergies. 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 drop 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 has been reported as being one of the most promising treatments 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. 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 (staph 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. OnGuard has been scientifically proven to kill a viral infection within 48 hours. The US National Library of Medicine now shows that it is effective in suppressing the H1N1 virus. It has also been shown to kill 17 different strains of MRSA. This is great for disinfecting via a diffuser. Place 3 drops under your tongue daily, use 4 drops in a capsule with 4 drops of lemon oil, or rub on your feet every night for cold prevention.

8. Breathe - Use this oil from respiratory infections,coughs, or asthma symptoms. 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. 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. Take 4 drops of Digestzen with 2 drops of peppermint internally in an empty capsule or simply rub it on your stomach.

10. Frankincense - this oil contains sesquiterpenes, enabling it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier. It may help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands. Many people belief it helps with anxiety and depression. Several studies have been done on Frankincense and its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
