doTERRA Essential Oils

What Are Essential Oils?

If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Essential oils provide plants with protection against environmental threats and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices.

How Do I Use Essential Oils?

Essential oils are used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends in one of three methods:

Aromatic

Certain essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air of unwanted odors.

Topical

Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.

Internal

Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements for targeted wellness.

Essential oils are both exciting and promising when it comes to taking care of your own and your family’s health. Whether you’re applying essential oils topically, enjoying the aromatic benefits
through diffusing, or taking essential oils internally, and the positive effects of essential oils are boundless.

That is why you will want to ensure that the essential oils you are using are capable of delivering on their promise. You will want to make sure that you are choosing essential oils for their potency and their purity. What sets doTERRA essential oils apart from all other generic brands that you see in retail stores and online is that doTERRA essential oils are Certified Pure and Therapeutic Grade. They come in their purest forms without chemical fillers. This is also why doTERRA essential oils and products are marked at a higher price due to their 100% purity.

When you purchase generic essential oils at retail stores or online like Amazon or eBay, they may seem inexpensive. The reason is that up to 75% of all oils on the market today are adulterated. This means that they are either diluted or contaminated with synthetic materials. It’s important to understand that purity doesn’t guarantee safety or efficacy. I hear this question often about whether essential oils made with organic materials are better. There is no guarantee if the final product will remain pesticide free. Incorrect storage of essential oils can also destroy their potency and efficacy. It’s all about trust; trust the company that is providing you and your family with safe essential oils. I can honestly say that I trust doTERRA 100% and there is an array of education that you can receive from the company. I love how doTERRA is transparent about the sourcing and testing of each essential oils and products.

Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious gluten-free and dairy-free  crispy chicken thighs in a creamy mushroom šŸ„ Marsala sauce. I didn’t follow any recipe and created my own version inspired by the classic chicken Marsala dish. This makes 4 servings. Think I will add this dish to my collection of healthy gluten-free home cooking. 

I simply threw everything together last minute with the ingredients that I had, I didn’t even write them down during the cooking process. I do know that the main ingredients are bone-on and skin-on chicken thighs, Bella mushrooms, yellow onions, garlic, Marsala cooking wine, chicken broth, parsley (garnish), and plant-based French style winter truffle spread made by @miyokoscreamery that was purchased from @imperfectfoods. 

This is good with a side of brown rice, quinoa, or any veggies of your choice.

Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 ye Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 years decided that they wanted to get together with me for lunch. I made healthy winter salad with roasted butternut squash and red beets served with organic greens and shredded carrots. For the appetizer, I made pomegranate salsa made with diced mini cucumbers, red onions, jalapeƱo, fresh cilantro and tossed with lime dressing consisting of ground cumin, chili powder, kosher salt, a few drops šŸ’§ of dōTERRA lime and cilantro essential oils. Today is about soup and salad course. When friends arrive, I’ll be serving homemade potato gnocchi chicken soup (Olive Garden copycat recipe). Here’s to a new year and more get togethers with friends. Life is short so create new memories together when we can! šŸ¤—šŸŒ»
I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice po I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice porridge anytime of the year, but particularly often during cold winter months. Being Southeast Asian (half Lao and half Vietnamese), we grew up eating this porridge frequently. It’s simple to make with just a few ingredients (Jasmine rice, 2 chicken breasts, chicken broth, and herbs like fresh cilantro and scallions to serve with). You can make a big pot and feed a family of 6-8 people and still have some leftovers. The best part is that it’s inexpensive to make and gluten-free. I love garnishing the porridge with fried shallots and my mom’s homemade chili šŸŒ¶ļø oil. Oh, it’s very spicy hot. 🄵

I’ve been cooking and eating plant-based meals f I’ve been cooking and eating plant-based meals for healthy cleanse nutrition. That means no meat products, dairy, gluten, sugar, and alcohol. It’s harder for me to be strictly on a plant-based nutrition, but at least I’m trying it out and have learned different ways of cooking plant-based meals. Hopefully, I’m losing a few pounds along the way! šŸ˜‚

When the weather is cold outside and you’re feel When the weather is cold outside and you’re feeling like eating something hot and comforting, it’s always good to have noodle soup šŸœ.

I love making homemade ramen noodles and found a  good gluten-free ramen noodles on Amazon. The noodles are dried and you have to cook it in hot water, then drain and add to your favorite homemade broth as a hot soup or toss with a sauce for savory noodles.

I made miso ginger broth from scratch and added frozen Asian style fish meatballs stuffed with roe (fish eggs). Once the broth is cooked and fish meatballs are soft, I added the broth to a bowl with cooked ramen noodles. Garnished the noodle soup with shredded Napa cabbage, cilantro leaves, fried garlic, and toasted black sesame seeds. The result is a yummy bowl of homemade ramen noodle soup.

As a home cook, I love making a variety of cuisines whether it’s American dishes, Asian, Mediterranean, or Italian. The most recent cuisine that I’ve learned to cook is Moroccan food. I’m loving the bold and rich spices of Moroccan dishes! šŸ˜‹
