Microplex VMz®

Microplex VMz® is a food nutrient complex of essential vitamins and minerals not found in our modern diets. Primarily used to support cellular health, Microplex contains vitamins A, C, and E to fight free radicals, support healthy metabolism, and induce optimum cell energy.

It’s that time of month again! DoTERRA has released a collection of promotions for you and your friends to enjoy! For the month of May, DoTERRA offers a 15-mL bottle of Cypress in exchange for a 125 PV order. But there’s a catch! This sweet deal is only available until May 15^th. Doesn’t convince you? Well, let’s discuss the many benefits of Cypress.

WHAT IS CYPRESS?

Cypress is a derivative of the tall evergreen tree, and the botanical name comes from the Greek word that means “ever living”. Ironically, it is also believed to be a symbol of death and many speculate that the cross upon which Jesus was crucified was made out of Cypress. Though despite its gruesome representation, Cypress has been used to ground emotions, fight infections, aid the respiratory system, and help remove toxins from the body. One of its more renowned uses is to stimulate healthy circulation throughout the body.

What makes Cypress therapeutic is its unique chemical compounds. A 2004 study found that camphene, a component present in Cypress inhibited the growth of nine bacteria and all yeasts studied. Cosmosiin, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid are also present in Cypress and have demonstrated powerful antioxidant properties.

COOL! HOW DO I USE IT?

You can use Cypress by applying 1-2 drops to chest, feet, or desired areas for an energizing boost, to promote vitality, to improve the appearance of oily skin, soothe muscle pain, and relieve negative emotions. You could also use 3-4 drops in the diffuser for an invigorating scent or to mitigate anxious feelings.

CAUTIONS

Do not use on eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Keep out of reach of children. Also, if pregnant or nursing, consult with your physician.

Have you been convinced? Place a 125 PV order before the 15^th and get Cypress for free! We’d love to hear your testimonies!

April 26^th marked the official release of Avengers: Endgame, the final installment of the infamous Avengers saga, and fans around the world have been plunged into utter emotional turmoil.

WHAT IS CONSOLE?

Grief can be like an ocean that engulfs and overwhelms your startled heart. It surges with every expelled breath, always pushing and pushing, eroding the shores of your perturbed mind with nothing to soothe it. Yet, there is hope for you. A simple spark. And its name is Console. Console is a blend of Frankincense, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Labdanum, Amyris, Sandalwood, Rose, and Osmanthus. It helps ease one’s burdens, assists in experiencing a serene heart and mind, and guides individuals toward emotional rest.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Grief begins in the heart. Apply Console over your heart and at the bottoms of your feet. Diffuse 3-4 drops for feelings of comfort and hope. You can keep Console TOUCH as a roller-on in your purse or pocket to inhale and apply when feeling sad or uncomfortable. Very convenient for when you experience a brief rendition of the five stages of grief during Avengers: Endgame!

CAUTIONS

Do not apply to eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Keep out of reach from children. And if pregnant or nursing, consult your physician.

Self-care. We’ve all heard that word but never considered the meaning behind it. What is it, anyway? Meditation? Yoga? Sitting in a warm bath with a thousand candles and some light jazz to accompany you? No, self-care is any activity done deliberately to improve our mental, emotional, and physical health. Self-care is entirely up to you. It may not consist of meditation or yoga, or oddly sensual baths. Maybe your idea to wind-down is to jog or read or binge-watch that new series on Netflix. The concept is still the same. And with the help of essential oils, you can boost your nonexistent self-care routine to its true potential!

You can’t pour from an empty cup. An empty lantern provides no light. Insert another dozen analogies here! Self-care is the foundation of your health. If you’re not taking care of yourself: you’re not happy, you’re not healthy, and you’re not a productive member of society. But essential oils can help you adapt a healthy intuition for self-care.

SELF-CARE TIP #1

Your mood is the first step to achieving the best version of yourself. A happy mood makes a happy day. Ylang-ylang, Bergamot, Geranium, and Lavender are like natural antidepressants. They can reduce feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety while increasing your vigor for life! For emotions, I recommend diffusing 3-5 drops of choice oils into a diffuser. Also, apply to the back of your neck, on your forearms, and over your heart—these are quick pathways to your head and heart which may help soothe negative emotions. Balance and Citrus Bliss are also highly effective oils.

SELF-CARE TIP #2

The second step is to make time for yourself. Not for you and your friends or you and your kids—just you, yourself, and the mirror. Seriously, YOU time is the BEST time. Now, there are no oils that magically free your schedule. That’s something you have to do on your own. However, there are oils that may ensure that “YOU time is the BEST time.”

If you frequently indulge in yoga or meditation, Frankincense is a must-have for spiritual connection and balance. Also, as ironic as it is, the Yoga Collection by DoTERRA is a trio of essential oils perfect for such occasions. Align, Anchor, and Arise can ground, attune, refine, center, enhance, and enlighten your experiences. They contain mostly citrus and “woodsy” oils for their uplifting and grounding properties.

Not a meditation fan? Me neither. But warm baths sound nice! No, I don’t obsess with candles and irrelevant intricacies. It’s just you, your choice of comforts, and the cozy water. Did you know that you could infuse your bath with essential oils? Apply a few drops of your favorite oil into a tablespoon of Epsom salt and scatter it upon the surface of the water. Nothing like the aroma of essential oils to accompany that soothing bath!

SELF-CARE TIP #3

The final step of self-care is to stay healthy—inside and out! It starts with a good night sleep. Lavender is great in the diffuser and on the bottoms of your feet at night. DoTERRA also has a blend called Serenity that may prove to be a bit stronger than Lavender. Furthermore, it’s important to keep your immune system strong. Take On Guard daily to ensure that your immune system is performing at its finest. You can put a drop under your tongue or take in capsules 1-2 times per day. TriEase may also prove helpful for seasonal threats.
