Hands-on Training With doTERRA CPTG* Essential Oils

*certified pure therapeutic grade

Using eight specific Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) essential oils by doTERRA, the AromaTouch Technique is a clinical approach to applying essential oils along energy meridians and visceral contact points of the back and feet to help balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of the body. This simple and intuitive modality boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation in the body, promotes homeostasis and is very grounding and relaxing for recipients, acting on both the physical and emotional levels.  Participants leave smelling amazing!

This class is a great way to experience the healing benefits of essential oils. This is a technique that anyone can learn to give to a spouse, friend, or family member to promote a balanced, healthy body. It is also a great modality to incorporate into a healing practice for massage therapists or energy medicine practitioners – CE hours available for LMT’s.

Taught by Meghan Quinn, LMT & Reiki Master

In the class you will observe the technique, give the session with direction from Meghan or Jan, and receive a session. You will receive a handout to take home that contain the directions for future use.

Cost: $15 to cover the cost of the oils – the price of this class will increase in the future, so the incentive is to take it now while it is inexpensive. Space is limited to 9 participants.

Please bring: a set of twin sheets and pillow case or face cradle cover

Location: 2575 McMillan, Eugene, OR

Where I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, many people experience seasonal allergy symptoms this time of year. People develop them who never had allergies before they lived here, but develop them due to the high pollen content in the air . I have thankfully been spared the last nine years!

There are many types of allergies and many ways in which they show themselves in the body. According to my Modern Essentials reference book, “An allergy is a damaging immune system response to a substance that does not bother most other people. Common allergies are to food, insect bites, pollen, dust, medicine, pets, and mold. Allergy symptoms vary greatly, but common allergic responses include itching, swelling, runny nose, asthma, and sneezing.” In desperation, people with allergies try anything to lessen the effects including taking prescription drugs and over-the-counter symptom suppressors. This form of treatment often times creates other types of unwanted side effects, can be expensive, and create a dependency.

Seasonal allergies are the result of inflammation in the respiratory air passages caused by pollen, dust, mold, and other foreign air particulates. Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) essential oils like doTERRA are excellent in addressing inflammation in the body, and there are some specific oils and techniques that can greatly help the inflammation related to both seasonal allergies and other types of allergies.

doTERRA essential oils are a safe, effective, healthy, and inexpensive way to relieve allergies.

Oils recommended for seasonal allergies related to the respiratory system:

• Breathe
• eucalyptus                    *All of these oils can be diffused in a room
• peppermint                    or applied to the body topically (on the neck,
• white fir                            chest, or bottoms of the feet. Remember to
• cinnamon                        dilute with a carrier oil to avoid a burning
• On Guard                          sensation, especially with Cinnamon & On Guard.
• Purify

Refreshing, anti-inflammatory & decongestant gargle: 2 drops each of lemon, lavender, and peppermint essential oils in a small amount of water. You can also diffuse in a room or rub this combination on the back of your neck.

Essential oil recipe for allergy rashes and skin sensitivities: Apply 3 drops lavender, 6 drops Roman chamomile, 2 drops myrrh, and 1 drop peppermint on the location.

To research and learn more ways in which CPTG doTERRA oils can be used for allergy relief go to the website everythingdoterra.com.

I have had many daily health habits that have come and gone in my life. I love trying new ways to maintain and enhance my current state of high health. By creating a routine around a health practice, I experience the benefits of observing how my body reacts over a period of time, helping me learn more about my body’s preferences. When we get more and more skilled at tuning into our body’s subtle inner workings, we are increasingly more capable of staying in balance and being the expert on our own health. (instead of outside “experts” like doctors who cost a lot and who people become overdependent on)

Currently, and for the past three months, I have been drinking a little health elixir containing doTERRA’s On-Guard essential oil blend.

Meghan’s Lemony Immune-Boosting Tonic w/ On-Guard

• The juice of one organic lemon – I usually try to get big ones
• 1-2 tsp. organic maple syrup (you could use honey or agave nectar as well)
• 2 drops of On-Guard essential oil
• 12-16 oz. hot water
• mix ingredients together in a hot beverage mug and enjoy! I think it would also taste good and be effective with room temperature or cool water in the summertime.

I drink this first thing in the morning. Even when I spend the night away from home, I bring the ingredients with me. It is very soothing and satisfying to me. I feel energized after I drink it. Could it replace your morning cup of coffee? Drinking fresh lemon juice upon awakening is also a known health tonic in Ayurvedic (a traditional health system founded in India long ago) texts to alkalize and cleanse the system. Yes, lemon juice is very alkaline in the body even though it is known as an acidic fruit.  Adding the drops of  On-Guard to the drink gives an added boost to my immune system.

Below is a link to a great article written about studies done on various essential oils, especially Thyme, that are able to kill crazy antibiotic-resistant bacteria like MRSA. Think of the implications! Instead of taking harmful and expensive antibiotics that may or may not stop an illness, one can use therapeutic grade essential oils instead! What a safe and enlivening alternative! I envision hospitals and doctors administering essential oils instead of antibiotics and other drugs – it would smell so good too.  

Essential Oils in the Family Physicians Kit

The health care paradigm shift is inevitable and seeming more and more common sense and obvious, don’t you think? I really enjoy using doTERRA oils as my medicine kit – no more ibuprofen for anti-inflammation as most of the oils are anti-inflammatory. The Family Physicians Kit is a great mix of oils for every household with endless uses.

Here is the article: Plant Oils Highly Effective Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria

On Guard is one of doTERRA’s best selling oils for good reason.  This mulit-use essential oil is dubbed as the “Protective Blend” to ward of unwanted infection, bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses. It’s like a warm, spicy shield of protection that is a strong ally for the immune system.

The single essential oils contained in On Guard are: Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary. The combination of these potent oils create a serious immune boosting punch that can both prevent an illness to take hold in the body or help one heal much more quickly from an acute attack.

Other body ailments On Guard could greatly improve include:

• smoking addiction
• air pollution/airborne bacteria  
• candida
• cystitis/bladder infections/urinary tract issues
• low blood sugar
• chronic fatigue
• cold sores
• congestion/coughs
• the flu
• lupus
• mononucleosis
• oral conditions like cavities, halitosis, and gum disease
• pneumonia
• scabies
• sore throat/throat infection/strep
• all types of warts

On Guard can be taken in various ways.  Some people with more sensitive skin may need to dilute it with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil so it does not burn. I am able to drop the oil neat (non-diluted) onto my neck and chest with no problems, but today I got a drop on my chin (meant to get it in my mouth!), and it really burned until I put on some lotion to soothe it.  Sometimes people develop more sensitivity to the oil over time, so see how it works for you. I like to put a drop or two in my mouth daily. You can also make a tea with it by adding 3-5 drops or so to hot water – add fresh squeezed organic lemon and local honey for added healing delight. On Guard could also be taken as a supplement in capsules daily with food for preventative effects. Put On Guard in an essential oil diffuser as an immune system booster and to purify the air for 20-25 minutes at a time. The On Guard Protective Throat Drops that doTERRA sells are a super yummy way to ingest the oils’ healing properties.  Quite a step up from Vicks or Ricola!

On Guard is also great for home disinfecting and cleaning.  doTERRA carries On Guard Foaming Hand Soap and hand sanitizing wipes. Use these products instead of chemical laden conventional soaps which are bad for you and the environment.

Imagine a life of abundance where you are always feeling healthy instead of succumbing to “flu season” where you go through a steady diet of doctor’s visits, cold medicine, feeling weak, tired, and congested, and expending tons of effort just to get through your day. And this happens for your whole family. I think the simplicity of incorporating On Guard into your life to sustain high health is so easy, smells and feels good, that it should be touted  by health practitioners everywhere.

Remember, visualize a positive, thriving, abundant outlook for your life and health. On Guard is here to be a helping friend in this regard.

Consistent, restful sleep is soooooo important for optimum health! How are your sleep patterns?

Recommended oils for insomnia include:

• lavender
• ylang ylang
• serenity
• wild orange
• marjoram
• rosemary
• frankincense
• balance

Find the blend that works best for you. You can use them in an essential oil diffuser in the bedroom while you fall asleep, mix them with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil and massage your feet, neck, and chest, or make a 5% water spritz and spray on your pillow. It can be a real blessing as it is so easy, smells wonderful, and can be bonding if you’re sharing massage with the oils on a spouse or child.
