Ready for Anything

Essential oils can be a bit light Pokemon cards. Gotta catch’em all.

Now, I’ll start this with a caveat.

I can’t relate to the “shopper’s high.”

I don’t crave more stuff to organize and care for.

Minimalism is SUPER appealing to me.

—and I get much more jazzed about decluttering than shopping.

So early on when I started down the path of exploring essential oils for my family’s wellness, I remember remarking, "Gosh, I have so many oils, surely I don't need another single one!"

That was back when I was new to them and had roughly 12 oils.

Several of which I had no idea what to do with. Can you relate?

Over the years though, I discovered the oil sitting in my box collecting dust—

(why did I buy that one??)

— has been the PERFECT oil for a specific issue I was tackling--and the support had been sitting in my home all along.

That's when I decided that if there is a new oil I get to have access to, I'm going to do what I can to get it.

Here's a perfect example. A few years back, doTERRA offered us the gift of Manuka and Litsea with a 200PV order. I had no idea what these two oils were--where they were from or what they could do for me. But I opted in out of curiosity and so I could learn more.

A few months later, I saw an old friend of mine who shares my birthday and is mom to 8 sweet children post that she had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I wanted to support her in some way, so I did some research and googling. Turns out that there is research showing Litsea oil (which was sitting unopened on my shelf) KILLS LUNG CANCER CELLS when inhaled. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3473030/ I promptly sent her my bottle and she used it as part of her lung care support.

Gosh!! What a gift to be able to share!

Manuka sat for a while in my home as well. Until one day I came across a testimonial about it helping with a specific issue that my husband has struggled with for decades. He started using it regularly and has appreciated the support. When it was in our Convention Kit this year we squealed with delight since our stock was running low.

I encourage you, if doTERRA offers an oil for free that you don't think you need, get it anyway. Heck, try a new oil each month in your cart and expand your collection. As you begin to advocate for your own family's wellness and use the resources at your fingertips to learn more like https://essentiallife.com/, you'll find really cool blessings are held in those bottles that you don't think you need and don't know what to do with.

If you don’t have a doTERRA wholesale account with access to their free gifts, check it out here. I’ll be happy to help you get started. Nothing feels better to me as a mama or as a friend than to know I’m doing what I can to help us be ready for anything life throws our way.
