Pests and bugs
I love when my garden is green and lush. However the "leaf-eating" bugs also love my green and lush garden...How can you stop the bugs from attacking your plants? Well, number one is to keep the garden area clean and free from debris and hiding places for pests. Number two is to use chemical-free products in your garden which repel the bugs naturally. Peppermint, Clove, Cedarwood, Geranium, Lemongrass, Rosemary, or Arborvitae essential oils repel bugs naturally. I put 10 drops of any of these oils in a spray bottle with water (preferably when the weather is not very hot) and spray the areas of concern. Simple, safe and it works! But when it comes to specifics, here’s how to get rid of three main pests: Aphids. Use a neem oil based spray. This natural method is easy on plants, but gets rid of the aphids. Aphids can also be controlled to a certain extent by planting some “trap crops” like alyssum, dill, and yarrow around the garden that attracts the aphids instead. Squash bugs. Squash bugs can survive cold winters and hide almost anywhere. Check for eggs on the underside of the leaves of the plants (they are usually orange in colour) and squish them before they hatch. Spider mites. They love dry areas and dust. Try to control by misting the plants–water bothers them. Talented doTERRA Wellness Advocate Rachelle Thompson (who is in my Essentially Inspired Team!) has designed this super powerful Owie Blend in a spray bottle. She recommends to have the blend in your Oily first aid kit, you will be ready to deal with any 'owie' situations. A natural, safe and gentle antibacterial wound spray that can help with cuts, grazes, abrasions, insect bites, stings, infections, trauma and any other skin irritations that come my way. We only use doTERRA Certified Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils because they are simply the best. Lavender essential oil soothes skin irritations. Tea Tree essential oil cleanses and rejuvenates. Frankincense essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties. Frankincense is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent that has antimicrobial effects. The blend is perfect for kids! Gluten and Sugar-Free Protein Chocolate Muffins What I like about this recipe is that I can use cocoa powder. I am a huge chocolate lover, but I don't buy commercial chocolate any more, I make my own healthy treats. I try to incorporate many healthy chocolate treats in my day-to-day diet; without adding artificial sweeteners or sugar. I use honey and doTERRA Cinnamon, Grapefruit and other (sweet) essential oils. Ingredients: 2 whole eggs 1 banana 1 scoop of whey protein powder 1/2 scoop of coconut/almond/rice flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder A bit of salt 2 drops of doTERRA Cinnamon Essential oil Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Then put them in the oven at 175 degrees for around 15-20 minutes. Once the mass becomes just a little sticky, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the fridge.

Wild Orange is a doTERRA favourite for its fresh, invigorating aroma.
It also has a variety of uses from aiding the digestive system to energising the mind and body. Part of its appeal is thanks to its chemical makeup—Wild Orange has a high amount of monoterpenes, which gives the oil purifying and stimulating qualities that can help enhance immunity. The orange rind is also full of antioxidants that help maintain overall health. Wild Orange Oil Uses and Benefits

Seasonal allergies are caused by the body's inability to adapt to changes in the environment. While some of us may thrive with the onset of the spring season, it is also known for bringing on sneezing, watery eyes, swollen sinuses and discomfort for those who do not adapt easily. An allergic reaction begins in the immune system. The immune system then overreacts to the allergen, which is really a harmless substance, and produces Immunoglobulin E antibodies. These antibodies travel to cells that release histamine and other chemicals, causing the allergic reaction. Essential oils with antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergen properties can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms so that you can enjoy the changing seasons. People who suffer from allergies are often told to avoid triggers, but that is nearly impossible when the seasons are changing and our immune systems are impaired by the food industry and environmental toxins. Thankfully, some powerful essential oils act as a natural and safe way to treat the symptoms of allergies and boost our immune systems. These essential oils for allergies have the ability to chemically support the body and help it to overcome hypersensitivity. Peppermint, lemon and lavender when diffused on a regular basis will help to reduce pollens and allergens.

Much like the fruit, there are also many uses for Lime essential oil. Whether you want to add some zest to your smoothie or fill the room with an energising aroma, once you use Lime oil, it will soon become a major staple in your daily essential oil use. Why to use LIME essential oil? 1. Known for its purifying properties, Lime essential oil is often used as an internal cleanser.* Lime oil may also support healthy immune function.* When you want to reap these internal benefits, consider adding a drop or two of Lime oil to your water glass or water bottle to enhance the flavor and provide antioxidant support.* If you want a flavorful drink that isn’t soda or full of sugar, you can also place a drop of Lemon and a drop of Lime oil in your water for a refreshing, sweet flavor. 2. Looking for a flavorful side dish to take to your next party? You can always add a drop of Lime essential oil to homemade salsa to give it an extra punch of flavor. 3. Not only does Lime essential oil taste sweet, it also has a tart, citrus scent as well. This aroma is perfect for when you want to brighten a room or make your home feel clean or fresh. To utilize the smell of Lime oil around your house, try our Spring Fling Room Spray DIY.

While the cleansing properties of Lime essential oil can be helpful for internal cleansing* or cleaning the house, you can also use Lime oil to help purify the skin and hair. Consider adding one or two drops of Lime essential oil to your face wash or shampoo to yield the benefits of added cleansing properties. To use Lime oil for hair, just combine with a few drops of Melaleuca and give yourself a scalp massage in the shower. 6. Possibly one of the most common uses for the lime fruit is to add a tart, sweet flavor to dishes like chicken.
