Our Oil Tips: • Use Lime and Ginger in water for a lovely refreshing drink. In a litre bottle, I put 3 drops of Lime and one drop of Ginger. I love to put a couple of drops of Lemon into hummus and also date balls. • When using the Deep Blue Rub after heavy lifting or a good workout, I apply it every twenty minutes for about 3 hours to feel the best effects. One to two drops of Deep Blue oil applied topically onto the abdominal area really helps with any stomach upset. • When it comes to ear discomfort, I have found it much more effective to put the oil directly onto a bud of cotton wool and then insert this into the ear. I like to use Lavender and Melaleuca but have used Basil too. • To support healthy immune function, I alternate between taking one drop of Oregano in a glass of water and the dōTERRA On Guard+ Softgels every two hours. • My favourite ‘pick me up’ is to put one drop of Wild Orange on the palm of one hand and then one drop of Peppermint on the other, rub the hands together and then gently massage the back of the neck. After this, I cup my hands and close my eyes and inhale. doterra.com / 17
