BUT
LET ME TELL YOU!!!
I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED THAT IT IS BOGO WEEK!
Whew! I just had to get that out. I missed yesterday's BOGO post, but I did do a live facebook video about the oils that were offered, Cypress and Lemongrass. Today, I decided that I had better get on the ball and tell you about Douglas Fir and White Fir. Both of these tree oils have so many benefits that could help you both physically and emotionally. They are both woodsy in scent, and yet subtle.
Douglas Fir is steam distilled from the needles and branches of the Douglas Fir tree. Considered to be the classic Christmas Tree, the Douglas Fir tree was used by Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest to heal a wide variety of ailments. doTERRA Douglas Fir is sourced in New Zeland. This tree is considered a noxious weed in New Zeland, so doTERRA and the New Zeland government have come up with a solution! Watch this video to learn more:
It's top properties are:
*Antioxident
*Antiseptic
*Laxative
*Sedative
*Stimulant
And so much more! If you are suffering from constricted airways or sinus issues, you can apply it topically to your chest or bridge of your nose. Douglas Fir supports healthy respiration, and promotes healthy airways. If you are experiencing brain fog, Douglas is your man! Diffuse a few drops with peppermint, or apply to your temples, and let the fog lift away to clarity. Experiencing muscle and/or joint soreness? Add a couple of drops with Wintergreen, or better yet, Deep Blue Rub, and apply to affected areas.
Emotioanlly, Douglas Fir promotes a positive mood and sense of focus. This oil is also known as the oil of "generational wisdom". Are you heading home for the holidays? You know how the time with family starts off well, then as time passes, feelings of frustration and disconnect seeps in? Take a moment to find a quiet place, apply a few drops to your spine or the bottom of your feet, and meditate for a few minutes. Allow your mind to calm, and allow the oil to help bridge that generational gap that often times can be found at family gatherings. Douglas Fir will not only open your mind and allow you to feel more connected, but it will also help you feel grounded in your own sense of self.
If you are experiencing avoidance, too much distraction, can't relax, or are in constant need of activity to calm you, Douglas Fir can help.
This oil pairs well with Cedarwood, Vetiver, Bergamot, and Wild Orange.
Here's a fun diffuser blend to tuck away and use with doTERRA's amazing Holiday Joy
Next up, is the fantastic White Fir!
White Fir is steam distilled using the needles of the tree, and can be found in doTERRA's TerraShield bug repellent. It blends well with Lavendar, Frankincense, and Bergamot, and has top properties that include:
*Analgesic
*Antiarthritic
*Antiseptic
*Stimulant
*Antioxidant
One of my favorite ways to use White Fir is to mix it with doTERRA's unsceneted hand and body lotion as well as adding some Aroma Touch. After a good workout, or a long day of working on my feet, it soothes my muscles and relaxes my mind at the same time.
Other ways to use this oil are to diffuse to help kill airborne pathogens, apply to chest to ease breathing, diffuse during cold and flu season to help boost your immune system, apply over your bladder to soothe painful urination, and massage topically to achy joints and muscles.
Emotionally, White Fir, as with many tree oils, is grounding. Imagine a tree, and how it's roots hold it to the ground, yet the branches and leaves raise upwards and out, recieving sunshine and nature's goodness. White Fir grounds your emotions similar to the way a trees roots hold it steady to the ground. At the same time, this oil allows you to open up and go from blocked, to receiving.
Finally, if you are not currently a doTERRA customer, this is a great opportunity for you to try new oils! I will be placing a group order at the end of each day, so please let me know if you would like to try these two for yourself.
