Historically, yarrow essential oil was used to soothe the skin, beautify the hair, relax the body and calm the mind. … umm, yes please!

While still in high demand for its amazing topical applications, Yarrow|Pom is now also highly coveted for the many benefits when taken internally.

NEW TO YARROW/POM?

This oil is a powerhouse! So we suggest you start small! 1 drop internally to start! Work your way up to the 2 drops 2x a day!

TIPS & TRICKS TO SUCCESS. DRINK UP!

Check out image below on why drinking water is so important to our success for a Healthy Metabolism. Setting our body up for success and helping it feel great will make you feel amazing and want to keep up these new habits!

Hydration is key for many factors that play a role in weight loss, including:

  1. Water is a natural appetite suppressant ⏤ When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water can help to take up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger. Drinking a glass of water before reaching for something to eat can help to curb unnecessary snacking.
  2. Water increases calorie burning ⏤ Drinking cold water may further enhance water’s calorie-burning benefits, because the body expends energy {calories} by heating up the water for digestion.
  3. Water helps to remove waste from the body ⏤ When the body is dehydrated, it cannot properly remove waste. Water helps the kidneys to filter toxins and waste while the organ retains essential nutrients and electrolytes.
  4. Drinking water can reduce overall liquid calorie intake ⏤ It’s easy to accumulate liquid calories by drinking soda, juice, or sweetened coffee or tea. Replacing even a few high-calorie drinks each day for water or herbal tea, may have long-term weight loss benefits. (refer to the PRINTABLE sheets for your tribe to track water intake)
  5. Water is necessary to burn fat ⏤ Without water, the body cannot properly metabolize stored fat or carbohydrates.
  6. Water helps with workouts ⏤ One of the most important components of any weight loss plan is exercise. Water helps muscles, connective tissues, and joints to move correctly, as well as helps the lungs, heart, and other organs work effectively as they ramp up activity during exercise.

DAY 2 – MASTER YOUR METABOLISM

Did you know that our metabolism is influenced by more than our diet and lifestyle choices?

A healthy metabolism actually begins with a healthy immune system, which begins with a healthy diet containing optimal levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Poor nutrition, stress, inadequate rest, and exposure to other environmental stressors can all lead to weakened defenses and other factors that can compromise health. The dōTERRA Lifelong Vitality Program is formulated to provide nutritional support for healthy immune function.

Alpha CRS+ provides powerful antioxidant and immune support through a potent blend of polyphenols and the carotenoids lutein and lycopene.

xEO Mega and vEO Mega are formulated with immune supporting essential fatty acids, astaxanthin, and a proprietary blend of essential oils including Clove Bud, Frankincense, and Thyme.

Microplex VMz is a balanced formula of essential vitamins and chelated minerals that include immune-supporting nutrients; vitamins A, C, E, and B6; and the mineral Zinc.

Check out the graphic below for more in depth look at the role of our immune system in metabolic function.

TODAY: MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING THE FULL DOSE OF LLV!

EXERCISE

Exercise does more than just burn calories. It can positively influence many components of health, including body chemistry and physiology. Proper exercise expends calories during and after activity, promotes better sleep, decreases cravings for unhealthy food, and can even elevate cognitive function.

To achieve a well-rounded fitness routine, incorporate aerobic, strength, and flexibility training into your exercise each week.

DAY 3 – MASTER YOUR METABOLISM

One of the main benefits of the Slim & Sassy Metabolic Gum is that it can help manage hunger cravings. As you alter your routine and diet, cravings will creep in and can derail any progress you’ve made. Instead of giving in to powerful cravings, you can chew on a piece of Slim & Sassy Metabolic Gum to help quiet your cravings and stay on track with your weight management aspirations.

Haven’t ever tried Slim & Sassy Metabolic Gum? What are you waiting for!?

TIP: CHEW S&S GUM EVERY TIME YOU FEEL A CRAVING!

RECIPES: ENERGY BALLS AND PEANUT BUTTER CACAO NIB SMOOTHIE

Snacking when we are starving can add unnecessary calories but if we have some healthy snacks prepped ahead of time we are more likely to grab these than a bag of potato chips or cookies. Energy Balls are one of my favorite snacks. Even my kiddos will fight for the last few that are left! Another favorite mid day smoothie is the Peanut Butter Cacao Nib Smoothie. It is sweet and filling and curbs my cravings for hours. Pair these recipes with the teas and Slim and Sassy Gum and you will be setting yourself up for success!

SUGAR CRAVINGS

Sugar cravings are common and can often be explained by simple things, like the side effects from certain foods in your diet or a bad habit that has reprogramed your brain.

But some sugar cravings can be a result of an underlying nutrient deficiency, stress, depression, and or poor sleep patterns.

Consider these SIX quick tips for success while you plan long-term behavior changes to minimize cravings:

DAY 4 – MASTER YOUR METABOLISM

Let’s Start the Day off right with DRY BRUSHING WITH SLIM & SASSY OIL! Not only do we want to ingest Slim and Sassy oil in a capsule or our water but topically is an amazing addition to our skin and health.

DIY: HOW TO DRY BRUSH

Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is predominantly used internally, but did you know that topical application of this proprietary blend also boasts amazing results?

One of our favorite ways to use Slim & Sassy topically is in combination with dry brushing – the act of brushing over dry skin. It is a natural health practice that stimulates the connective tissue attached to the capillaries sitting under the skin, which assists the lymphatic flow around the body ridding the body of toxins and waste and improving circulation. Research also suggests that dry brushing helps reduce cellulite by speeding up metabolism, which helps break down fatty deposits or toxins within the bloodstream that often cause cellulite.

Regular dry skin brushing exfoliates dry, rough skin, enabling moisturizing products to more readily absorb into the skin, assists with stimulation of sweat and oil glands, contributing to the restoration of moist, supple skin, strengthens pores by assisting with increased skin tone, and gently stretches connective tissue to help regenerate production of collagen and elastin fibres.

Enhance these amazing benefits with the addition of Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend to your dry brushing regimen!

DETOX BATH

Did you know that Epsom salt is not actually salt, but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate? Long known as a natural remedy for a number of ailments, Epsom salt has numerous health benefits as well as many beauty, household, and gardening-related uses, making it a household essential.

The wonders of Epsom salt have been well known for hundreds of years and have beneficial properties that can soothe the body, mind, and soul. Some of the countless health benefits include relaxing the nervous system, curing skin problems, soothing back pain and aching limbs, easing muscle strain, healing cuts, treating colds and congestion, and drawing toxins from the body.

The fan favorite way to use Epsom salts is a long, relaxing soak in the tub. Add the health-promoting benefits of Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend to those of Epsom salts, and prepare to leave the tub a different {wo}man than when you entered it!

WEIGHT LOSS AND OILS IN A NUTSHELL

There are many reasons why we gain weight, but the most common causes are the direct results of excessive eating and poor nutrition.

While the focus for weight management should primarily be on what and how much food is consumed {appetite} and how well it is utilized as fuel by the body {metabolism}, balancing other processes such as blood sugar, inflammation and hormones is often necessary for long-lasting results.

Check out the image for some insight into the role of essential oils in weight loss and maintenance.

LET’S LEARN TO REST & STRESS LESS!

You never really appreciate how important rest and stress management are until a lack of them is already having a powerfully negative impact on your overall health.

Modern life is often fraught with stress, and almost everyone is ironically too busy to deal with it. It can be easy to excuse it away and say that we work best under stress, that stress is a great motivator. This is partly true; the good type of stress, known as “eustress” helps us seize the moment, and invigorates us to achieve a tangible goal.

On the flip side, there is also bad stress, called “distress”, that can be harmful in the long run. When we face either type of stress in our daily lives, our bodies respond by secreting a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is useful to help us react to temporary stress, like the stress caused by deadlines. But scientists say that too much cortisol can cause weight gain, negative emotions, joint discomfort, and more.

Unfortunately anxious feelings and stressful situations are not going to simply disappear. This is where dealing with our stress becomes a priority. Managing a lot of daily stress comes down to some simple and quick solutions listed below. While this list is not comprehensive, it is a start in helping you identify ways to help yourself. We recommend that you pick the easiest solutions for you, and then practice them on a daily basis or whenever you feel the need.

Whew! There’s been a lot of information coming at you this week, and to end strong we wanted to take a quick minute to recap how you can Master Your Metabolism with the support of essential oils!

Diet and Excercise Nutrition Weight Management Women

Nutrition is a Foundation of Health

I recently heard from a trusted expert in the field of nutrition that it isn’t so much “you are what you eat” as, “we are what we absorb”…

Think about that for a moment…

That is true on so many planes right now from the energy, and environment and friends we are exposed to, to of course what we consume. Now you are here for nutrition, so this is where we are going to focus in this article… and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you a new product line just launched by doTERRA for foundational nutritional support!

doTERRA Fiber

Fad diets are a popular trend and most focus on consuming high amounts of protein and low amounts of carbohydrates. This unbalance can wreak havoc on our fiber intake!

According to the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, even with a healthy diet, most people only get half the amount of fiber they need. The FDA recommends 25–38 grams of dietary fiber every day depending on age, weight, and gender.*

That’s a lot of raw vegetables and bowls of oatmeal! dōTERRA Fiber was created as a convenient and delicious way to supplement your fiber intake. One serving of dōTERRA Fiber provides six grams of soluble and insoluble fiber, CPTG® Lemon essential oil, natural vitamin C, and a unique prebiotic blend.

dōTERRA Fiber is sourced from whole food sources like apple, tapioca, and flax seed to support a healthy and regular digestive system, control appetite, and support the metabolic process.*

Fiber is a fantastic macronutrient that supports many different health functions within the body, not just the digestive system, including the cardiovascular and the immune systems.*

The importance of a healthy gut microbiome and its relation to the immune system has recently become an area of scientific studies. Research has shown much of your immune system can be found in the GI tract. The addition of the special prebiotic blend in dōTERRA Fiber provides food for probiotics in the gut to support a healthy microbiome and immune system.*

The prebiotic blend contains Fructooligosaccharide from chicory root and
Jerusalem artichoke, Isomaltooligosaccharide, and Xylooligosaccharide. dōTERRA TerraZyme® and PB Assist+® also support the microbiome and dōTERRA Fiber is the perfect addition to your digestive and immune health

doTERRA Greens

Do you hate eating vegetables!? I still live with adults who believe corn is a vegetable and that is the only one that doesn’t get some push back here.

There are many reasons you may not be getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. It’s expensive, preparation can be time consuming, and you may feel unsure of how much you really need to eat.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, less than one out of every three adults eats the recommended amount of fruit per day, and over 70 percent do not meet guidelines for vegetable consumption.

dōTERRA Greens was created to supplement your fruits and vegetables intake with responsibly sourced, wholesome ingredients. dōTERRA Greens is a convenient and tasty way to provide your body with essential nutrients and dietary fiber to enhance overall wellness.*

With pure, plant-sourced, and nourishing ingredients, dōTERRA Greens supports healthy immune function, digestion, weight management, and energy.*

A mix of superfoods are packed in dōTERRA Greens to provide
you a nutritious boost. One scoop of dōTERRA Greens powder provides the nutritional equivalency of approximately one to two servings of fruits and vegetables.*

Key ingredients include moringa, acai, cabbage, collard greens, dandelion, kale, parsley, spinach leaf, alfalfa, barley grass, oat grass, pineapple, mango, goji-berry, as well as Lemon and Ginger CPTG® essential oils.*

dōTERRA Greens is easy to use and can be enjoyed daily in a smoothie or simply mixed with water. The powder is a mixed berry flavor and naturally sweetened with monk fruit.

Pursue optimal health with a convenient, comprehensive nutrition solution: dōTERRA Greens.*

NUTRITION QUESTIONS

  1. What type of protein is used?
    a. Chocolate and Vanilla: Whey protein concentrate and casein.
    b. Vegan: pea, brown rice, flaxseed, Sacha inchi, and pumpkin seed.
  2. Is there any soy in the products?
    a. All of the new products are soy free.
  3. Are these safe for pregnant and lactating women?
    a. We recommend any women who are pregnant or lactating inform their physician about their use of our products and to follow their physician’s advice. However, when used appropriately, we know of no contradictions that would prevent someone from using dōTERRA products.
  4. Why are the new products not labeled as organic?
    a. Pursuing organic certification was something we considered. However, our current quality control processes and analytical testing provide an equivalent benefit as organic certification. Additionally, pursuing organic certification would increase the cost of the product, and we decided to prioritize affordability to keep these products as accessible as possible for all.
  5. Are all the dо̄TERRA Protein flavors gluten free?
    a. Yes, all of the dо̄TERRA Protein options (Chocolate, Vanilla, and Vegan) are certified gluten free. The oat flour included in these products is sourced from a specific plant in Ireland that has very strict gluten controls in place.
  6. Are the Fiber and Greens gluten free?
    a. While they are not certified gluten-free, we have verified that all the ingredients in these two products are free of gluten. (and all other allergens except for dairy which is in the vanilla and chocolate whey protein shakes).
  7. Why are sweeteners added to the products?
    a. Monk fruit and stevia—which are both natural sweeteners—were added to the dо̄TERRA Nutrition products to help them be delicious as stand-alone mixes.
  8. Do the ingredients follow our sourcing practices?
    a. As with all our products, these new products follow dо̄TERRA’s commitment to best sourcing practices. We avoid any questionable supply chain sources and follow the same rigid testing standards (potency, purity, contaminants, etc.) that we hold ourselves to
    with all our products.
  9. Are any products being discontinued once this new line launches?
    a. Yes, dо̄TERRA Protein will replace all Slim and Sassy Trim Shakes, and dо̄TERRA Greens is the new, improved version of TERRAGreens. doTERRA Fiber is a new product and therefore will not be replacing any current products we offer.
  10. Are these products safe for children to consume?
    a. While the Nutrition products were designed with the nutritional needs of adults in mind, these products were made using whole food ingredients that can be found in the daily diet of adults and children. Though all of the Nutritional products should generally be safe for children, we recommend that parents adjust serving sizes for children as
    they see necessary.
  11. Are the greens and fiber Vegan?
    a. Yes, the Greens and Fiber are both vegan.
  12. What flavor is the Vegan protein?
    a. The Vegan protein is vanilla flavored.
  13. What flavor is the Vegan protein?
    a. The Vegan protein is vanilla flavored.
  14. Why did we include Maltodextrin?
    a. Maltodextrin is used as an excipient (processing aid or carrier or incidental additive) and is a crucial ingredient for the production process. The maltodextrin used to produce dо̄TERRA supplements is sourced from natural sources like corn, wheat, cassava or tapioca root and is used in very small amounts. dо̄TERRA is transparent with our product labeling and this is why you see maltodextrin listed on our supplement labels and may not see it included on supplement labels from other companies.
  15. What are the natural flavors?
    a. Instead of listing 5-10 different flavor components (I.e., the Vanilla flavor- there is vanilla extract, vanillin, and other natural flavors that contribute to give that desired vanilla flavor) we list it as natural flavor.
  16. Why did we include Oat Flour?
    a. We included this as an additional source of protein and fiber, as well as a source of beta-glucan. In a crowded protein space, this unique source of protein and fiber helps to differentiate our product, providing a nice taste and mouthfeel along with the benefits of beta-glucan, all while being certified gluten-free (at 10 ppm, which is tighter than the
    industry requirement of 20 ppm).
    b. The oat flour we are using is independently verified to be gluten-free by Gluten Watchdog and is certified by the Celiac Societies of Ireland, the UK, and Spain.
  17. What are the serving sizes?
    a. Vanilla Protein: 1 serving is 37g; 20 servings total
    b. Chocolate Protein: 1 serving is 41g; 20 servings total
    c. Vegan Protein: 1 serving is 39g; 20 servings total
    d. dо̄TERRA Greens: 1 serving is 12g; 30 servings total
    e. dо̄TERRA Fiber: 1 serving is 11g; 30 servings total
  18. Are all of these new products vegan-friendly?
    a. Most of the new products are vegan-friendly except for the vanilla and chocolate proteins – which include whey proteins.

Healthy Lifestyle

When lifestyle is the focus, health is naturally achieved and maintained.

Your daily habits make all the difference. Build a strong foundation by eating right and regularly exercising. Lifelong health and vitality require proper fuel for your body, like minimally processed whole foods, complemented by the right nutritional supplements.

Lifelong Vitality Pack

Getting some form of exercise daily is vital to the quality of life and overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We’re exposed to toxins every day.

Reduce your toxic load and the burden they place on your bodily systems and vital organs by eating a clean diet, cleansing regularly, and using natural household and personal care products.

As you move toward taking more responsibility for your health, you create daily essential oil regimens and use natural products to support overall well-being.

And of course, establish a relationship with a trusted healthcare professional so you can be proactive instead of reactive about necessary medical care.

Be Healthy, Happy, and Strong!

Lime Essential Oil

Lime – Citrus aurantifolia

Known for its distinct aroma and taste, Lime provides cleansing benefits when taken internally or used topically—making it the perfect oil for purifying skin and surfaces.*

Historical Uses
For some time, lime was used as a remedy for dyspepsia with glycerin of pepsin. It was often used in place of lemon for fevers, infections, sore throats, colds, etc.

Other Possible Uses
This oil may be beneficial for anxiety, blood pressure, soothing broken capillaries, dissolving cellulite, improving clarity of thought, debility, energy, gallstones, hair (cleansing), promoting leukocyte formation, liver deficiencies in children, lymphatic system cleansing, memory improvement, nails (strengthening), nervous conditions, cleaning children’s skin, sore throats, water and air purification, and promoting a sense of well-being. It works extremely well in removing gum, wood stain, oil, and grease spots. It may also help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing the dead skin cells. Lime oil is capable of tightening skin and connective tissue.

Lime Oil Uses and Benefits

  1. Known for its purifying properties, Lime essential oil is often used as an internal cleanser.* Lime oil may also support healthy immune function.* When you want to reap these internal benefits, consider adding a drop or two of Lime oil to your water glass or water bottle to enhance the flavor and provide antioxidant support.* If you want a flavorful drink that isn’t soda or full of sugar, you can also place a drop of Lemon and a drop of Lime oil in your water for a refreshing, sweet flavor. But only a drop or two!! A little goes a long way!!!
  2. Looking to add flavor to a side dish? You can always add a drop of Lime essential oil to give it an extra punch of flavor. Lime oil is also a delicious addition to starchy foods like corn or potatoes, a drop to your beer or cocktail or salsa or side dish…
  3. Not only does Lime essential oil taste sweet, it also has a tart, citrus scent as well. This aroma is perfect for when you want to brighten a room or make your home/home away from home clean or fresh. To utilize the smell of Lime oil around your house, try our Spring Fling Room Spray DIY. Simply combine Lemon, Grapefruit, and Lime oil with distilled water into a glass spray bottle and spray the concoction around your home or any area that could use a more cheerful scent.
  4. If you are a fan of fruity or sweet drinks, Lime oil is your new best friend. Lime essential oil will add a tart, naturally sweet flavor to your favorite slushies, smoothies, or drinks includingcocktails.
  5. While the cleansing properties of Lime essential oil can be helpful for internal cleansing* or cleaning the house, you can also use Lime oil to help purify the skin and hair. Consider adding one or two drops of Lime essential oil to your face wash or shampoo to yield the benefits of added cleansing properties. To use Lime oil for hair, just combine with a few drops of Melaleuca and give yourself a scalp massage in the shower. When you want to use Lime essential oil for skin, try our Ginger Lime Brown Sugar Scrub. You can easily make this facial scrub at home, and it will leave your skin softer and more exfoliated.
  6. Because it has such a unique and stimulating scent, there are many benefits that come from diffusing Lime essential oil. The refreshing properties of Lime oil can positively affect mood when diffused. Lime oil can also promote well-being and emotional balance, so it is a good idea to diffuse Lime on days when you need to center and balance your emotions, or if you aren’t feeling your best. While diffusing Lime oil can help lift your mood, you can also diffuse this oil when you simply want to cleanse the air in your kitchen, bedroom, office, or entire home.
  7. Like Lemon oil, doTERRA Lime essential oil comes in handy for cleaning. There are countless ways to use Lime oil for cleaning, whether you want to get rid of a sticky mess, clean your countertops, or purify your hands. Citrus oils are also wonderful at cleaning leather!When you are left with a sticky, goopy, or greasy mess, you can use Lime essential oil to remove grease spots or residue left behind. Simply place a few drops of Lime oil on the spot or a cotton cloth and rub down the area until the residue or spot is gone. At home, to keep your dishes extra clean (and smelling lovely), try our DIY Dish Soap, which uses Lime, Lemon, and Citrus Bliss® essential oil.

Open Road Essential because:

  • cleans air
  • freshens water
  • cleans surfaces
  • cleans leather
  • face toner
  • adds flavor without adding salt

Healthy Habits Challenge

Healthy Habits are truly something we all know about but rarely make routine.

Whether traveling or enjoying your favorite past time (like riding your motorcycle), there are small things we can do to create Healthier Habits which ultimately will make us Healthy, Happy, and Strong.

But there are several things that can create an imbalance in our health. And we do them on a daily basis, they include…

  • Dehydration- not enough water! Drinking coffee, alcohol, juices, soda, vitamin waters or other commercial flavored waters aren’t replenishing enough (look at labels for sugars)
  • Irregular/non-healthy diet (fast food and restaurants are terrible for balanced nutrition) even too many salads can mess with your gut and most salad dressings are loaded with sugars.
  • Exposure. Sun brings life! And many are vitamin D deficient, especially following a long winter. However, too much of a good thing…is too much. Our skin is the largest organ of our body, protect it from too much sun and wind and extreme elements …
  • Over-the-counter and prescription symptom relievers… we all know someone who takes “something” for aches and pains, or blood sugar, or allergies, headaches, etc. All symptoms of imbalanced health, and commercially treated to mask the symptom not fix the cause. (another topic for impaired driving/riding…)
  • Physical restrictions. Sitting on the couch, recliner, office chair, or in a plane, car, train, or on a bike for too long. Our bodies were made and meant to move!
  • Solitude, self-doubt, procrastination, fear, anger, sadness, guilt (mental health): Anything and everything or anybody that keeps us from growing, learning, developing, laughing, etc. Things do happen and it is important to process and even mourn, but don’t build a house around it and live there… Fight hard to get back to your mental happy place! Sometimes people are toxic, seek out a healthy community, and support of a network that lifts your spirits, feeds your soul, and gives you purpose.

Daily Habits Challenge


Need some ideas of habits that will help you build a healthy lifestyle?

I’m always saying “we don’t know what we don’t know”, well knowing something doesn’t make it a habit.

We need to be mindful and practice new habits to make them a part of our routine. After all we weren’t always fat, or sore, or sad, or achey, or unhappy. That shit happened over time (we practiced).

We can do this!

Here is some help, Regional Healthy Habits Tours are happening now …

Ginger Zingiber officinale

Description – Newly sourced from Madagascar, doTERRA Ginger essential oil is derived from the fresh rhizome of the ginger plant, the subterranean stalk supporting the root system. A featured ingredient in many Asian dishes, Ginger has a hot, fragrant flavor when used as a kitchen spice. In Western tradition, Ginger is most often used in sweets—gingerbread and ginger snaps being two examples. Internal use of Ginger is best known as a digestive aid and for helping to ease occasional indigestion and nausea.* Ginger essential oil can also be applied topically or inhaled for a soothing aroma. When used as a kitchen spice, the hot, earthy nature of Ginger adds flavor to a variety of dishes, and can help to support healthy digestion.*

Do you love to try new foods? dōTERRA Ginger is a main ingredient in many Asian dishes for its hot, fragrant flavor. It may be more familiar to you as it’s used more commonly in sweets such as gingerbread and ginger snaps. When used as a kitchen spice, Ginger adds flavor to a variety of dishes and can also help support healthy digestion.* Apply ginger over your lower abdomen for a soothing massage to help reduce bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion.*

doTERRA’s Ginger Pancake Recipe

We love to travel, but endless miles and you may sometimes experience occasional nausea from sitting in a car for too long. Something I found that really works for me and others I know is dōTERRA Ginger essential oil. dōTERRA Ginger can help reduce occasional nausea by either being applied topically or inhaled.* I diffuse it in the car diffuser for everyone to enjoy or place a drop of ginger in the palm of my hand and inhale to create a soothing aroma.

Achy joints from sitting too long?

Ginger has a longstanding reputation for reducing chronic inflammation due to the anti-inflammatory effects of gingerols, which are compounds in the ginger plant. Ginger essential oil may contain other compounds that help to ease the symptoms of RA, too.

A 2016 study Trusted Source investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of ginger essential oil in rat models of RA. Rats that had received injections of the oil exhibited reduced rates of chronic joint inflammation. However, further studies involving human participants are necessary to confirm the effects.

People can try diluting ginger essential oil in a safe amount of carrier oil and applying it to the joints.

Uses

  • During a long car ride, diffuse or place drop in palm and inhale.
  • Apply over lower abdomen for a soothing massage and stomach upset.
  • Apply over achy joints for a warm circulating massage to reduce inflammation*
  • Use Ginger essential oil in your favorite sweet and savory dishes or in a warm spiced tea.

Directions for Use

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.

Cautions – Possible skin sensitivity, always use a carrier oil or lotion when applying topically. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
