Hello
I have created this blog to inform, educate and share ideas that contribute to overall well-being. This is not a medical blog but an integrated solution blog. I am not a doctor and make no treatment claims. My posts are my own personal experiences and those of friends, and are anecdotal. My posts are to present ideas that may be of help. My emphasis will be Essential Oils and their capabilities to enhance well-being. We are after all responsible for our own well-being. For serious medical issues, get professional medical help!!!

About me:
I am a Medical Technologist, with many years’ experience in the area of Microbiology. I have worked in the medical field for more years than I care to admit. My Paternal grandmother was a local healer. She lived in a very small town in the south. I grew up listening to the many stories of her healing gift and her knowledge of plants, herbs and their uses. My father as the youngest child would accompany her on the treks into the woods to locate and gather the local healing herbs. It is said that she would dream of an herb combination and preparation method that would be effective in treating a specific condition. I remember growing up, when dad, my sister and I were out in the woods, dad would often point out herbs his mother would gather and use. I wish now I had paid closer attention. What a wealth of knowledge he had.
I first became interested in the advantages of alternative treatments when my three children were small. I began researching ways to help my family stay healthy with alternative methods. I would try the alternative first, and if that did not improve the issue, I would go to the doctor. Doctors are very necessary to health!!!
Enter essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated plant essence. They are pure natural plant extracts. They do not have the lack of standardization or additives that herbs have. When you use a drop of Essential oil, you know what you are getting. My grandmother would have loved to have essential oils to use.
So I will be posting things that I have learned about the uses of alternative methods and welcome input from other like-minded people.
I have no double blind control group to validate my experiences, but doTERRA does have a wealth of scientific research. If you are interested in this go to https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/science-research-news. I will be referencing this site in future posts!!
Have a happy life!!!
