Essential Oil Uses For Your Garden

Spring calls for all sorts of new beginnings in our lives, but none more prominent than the renewal of nature all around us. Look high and you see birds busily building their nests while down low sprouts burst out from the ground craving sunlight. While we prepare our bodies for the seasonal changes, many gardeners prep their green world for the growing season. And while organic and natural growing methods seem to be the preference, many of us have not even considered essential oils as a part of our gardening regimen. So, sit back and let the sun shine in while we take a tour through an essential-oil enhanced garden!

Eucalyptus Essential Oil Uses & Benefits

Though many people associate Eucalyptus with koala bears, the amazing properties of these leaves when steam distilled into an essential oil will astound you. Prized for its ability to open airways and support respiratory health, Eucalyptus has found a home in many products specifically noted for the lungs. In addition to respiration, it also provides a powerful feeling of relaxation aromatically and can be used in massages or rubs for a double effect of both skin-tingling delight and aromatic release. It is no wonder that Eucalyptus is considered to be a staple oil in any oil collection. (Just be sure to use caution if you have kids under the age of 6 in our house, as the camphor component of Eucalptus could slow breathing in younger children. As always, it is best to discuss its use with your trusted healthcare provider before using it on anyone with a medical condition or children under the age of 6.)

Copaiba Essential Oil Uses & Benefits

Copaiba.  Funny name, yes – coh-pah-EE-bah – but wait until you hear about the amazing benefits of this new addition to doTERRA’s repertoire!  The development of Copaiba for dōTERRA is rich with interesting information, including why we source four different species of Copaifera, how it is related to cannabis (yup, as in marijuana), and why scientists are so excited about the high beta-caryophellene content.  But what has me jumping from the rooftops is the amazing potential that this EO has for those suffering from chronic pain or those needing a method for whole-body support.  So, excuse me if I get a bit long-winded…this EO has been a long-time coming and I am so excited to share these amazing benefits with my Tribe!

Why I Use dōTERRA Essential Oils

First, it is no secret that my family and I prefer dōTERRA essential oils. I do not conceal that I offer my readers a chance to build their own EO education in my community. I’m not hiding the fact that I DO own a business that provides an opportunity to become a Wellness Advocate with dōTERRA. I hate secrets. My loyal readers know that I am always offering up-front, in-your-face, sometimes-too-honest information for my readers. That’s who I am.
