Happy September!
Jaime and I are excited because we will be attending the doTERRA convention in Salt Lake City next week. Along with our dear friend, Cheryl, we are looking forward to learning more about the health benefits of essential oils and finding out about the new essential oils that doTERRA has in store for us all!
You can find out how to watch the convention online at this link.
10% off Thyme essential oil
Thyme is commonly used as a seasoning, but it also produces a potent essential oil that has cleansing effects for the skin.
Uses
- Blend with Fractionated Coconut Oil for a soothing chest massage.
- For a change of pace, add Thyme essential oil to your favorite daytime diffuser blend to help recharge your mental batteries.
- Taken internally, Thyme oil supports a healthy immune system. To help support your immune system, especially during winter months, add two drops of Thyme essential oil to a Veggie Capsule and take it internally. This is our favourite way to use thyme essential oil.
- Thyme oil is one of the best essential oils for cleaning due to its powerful cleansing properties. Thyme essential oil can help to clean surfaces and remove dirt, grime, and unpleasant odors—all without the use of harmful chemicals.
- Because Thyme oil has a cleansing and purifying effect on skin, it is an ideal oil for skin care. To purify and promote healthy-looking skin, dilute one to two drops of Thyme essential oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil and then apply the solution to targeted areas on the skin.

In our home
Balance essential oil grounding blend is my absolute favourite essential oil blend for emotional balance. I start each and every day by putting it on my neck and also keep a bottle on my desk at work. Our family took a one day trip away in Fernie, BC this past weekend and I kept it simple and only brought two essential oils with me: Balance essential oil and Deep Blue Rub for muscle aches and pains. I found it very comforting and grounding to have my favourite essential oils with me during our short trip. - Janice
Balance blend contains Spruce Leaf, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus Flower essential oils in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Science corner
A double-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial was conducted with 24 healthy individuals as study participants. Study participants were given placebo capsules or capsules containing either 1 or 2 drops of peppermint essential oil. Participants were asked to perform a number of tasks designed to test cognitive function and assessed for mental fatigue.
The researchers found that peppermint essential oil had a positive effect on cognition during the execution of difficult mental tasks. In addition, peppermint essential oil significantly reduced cognitive fatigue.
