This blog has been compensated for an honest review of doTERRA oils, all opinions are my own.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE oils!?? I’ve even been putting them on my husband and kids and I have seen a difference especially with me! The peppermint oil always helps with my headaches and the lemon really helps to have a calm classroom! My students LOVE the lemon!
Brandalon sells dōTERRA products and just recently sent me SO many amazing goodies that I want to share with you all! First let’s read more about her and her journey with oils!
Brandalon and her gorgeous family!
Hi Everyone! My name is Brandalon Fritz, wife and mother to four amazing kids, three boys and a little girl, with ages ranging from 19 to 2 years old. I have a strong background in healthcare and worked as the head nurse for two very successful medical practices. I enjoy hanging out with family and friends! I have always had a true passion for helping others and I’m often called an essential oil Yoda. I absolutely LOVE LOVE using dōTERRA essential oils and how they have changed my families life. I operate an Instagram account where I share daily tips on how to use essential oils following safe guidelines for you and your family.
I slowly began living a more natural/alternative healthy lifestyle about 6 years ago when I delivered my third son. My mom used essential oils when I was younger and I thought she was a crazy oil hippy (lol). I was already living a more natural lifestyle when I had began looking into a more natural way of cleaning and overall wellness for my family.
When I started my essential oil journey I was purchasing the oils from a local health food store. I didn’t know a whole lot about using the essential oils and I didn’t have a lot of direction or education except for what I was learning from the internet… and we know how that can go. It wasn’t until my friend invited me to a dōTERRA education class where I learned about the importance and quality of essential oils. The education I learned from this class is what sparked a true passion for my love of essential oils. From that moment on I made a point to do more research, attend many more education classes and read as many books as possible so I can share my love for dōTERRA essential oils with those around me.
I can’t wait to introduce you to dōTERRA and walk you through this life changing journey with me. Follow me on Instagram and feel free to contact me with any questions or info on starting your oilistic journey!!!
Xoxo,
Brandalon
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils have been used throughout history for medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts that are naturally found and distilled from different parts of a plant, including leaves, flowers, twigs, the peel of fruit, bark and roots. A plant has oil sacks in these various parts, which is to protect it from disease. We also can benefit from the same oils the plant used to help protect us from disease. They also serve as physical, emotional, and mental support.
If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, or taken a stroll through a lavender field, then you have already experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.
dōTERRA essential oils have strong cleansing properties and are naturally antimicrobial. Their unique chemical structure allows them to pass directly through the skin for an immediate systemic response when used topically. Certain oils may be used internally to promote vitality and well being as well as kill bacteria and viruses in the body. I love using essential oils and knowing they can kill viruses, when an antibiotic is unable. Oils can also be used aromatically with the use of a diffuser or by placing a couple drops in the palms of your hand and simply smelling the oils .
dōTERRA essential oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) and are 100 percent pure, naturally extracted from plants. They do not contain fillers, chemicals, or artificial ingredients that would dilute their natural qualities. They are also free from all contaminants, such as pesticides, herbicides or any other chemical residues. They far exceed the FDA standards for purity and are 3rd party tested to ensure both the purity and the potency of each batch.
How do I use Essential Oils?
Essential oils can be used for a wide range of ailments including beauty treatments, food preparation, and for both emotional and physical wellness. They can be used as 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.
***Caution*** Do not use essential oils directly in your eyes or ears. If you accidentally get an essential oil to close to your eyes, apply Fractionated Coconut Oil on the eye or around the eye area for quick relief. DO NOT use water, as it will only make it worse and intensify the oils.
OnGuard helps strengthen and maintain a healthy immune system. Apply 1-2 drops to the bottoms of each family members feet every morning and night. TIP: Did you know you can use OnGuard to help whiten your teeth?
Lemon naturally cleanses and promotes a positive mood and cognitive ability. Use 2-3 drops in each 8oz glass water bottle or cup, and drink 8 glasses throughout the day. TIP: Try using Lemon to help remove a sticker or sticky residues off surfaces.
Lavender is widely used for its calming and relaxing qualities, diffuse or apply a couple drops to palms, cup palms around nose and inhale deeply three times. Apply topically to back of neck, behind ears, wrists, and/or bottoms of feet. It also helps soothe occasional skin irritations, apply 1-2 drops topically on area of concern, dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil for sensitive skin. TIP: Apply 1 drop directly on a Bee Sting to help pull poison out and soothe the burn. Dilute for young children or those with sensitive skin.
Peppermint helps to promote a healthy digestive system, add 1-2 drops diluted in Fractionated Coconut Oil and rub over abdomen or drop 1 drop under the tongue to help internally. Support a nagging headache and apply 1-2 drops to forehead, back of neck, and/or temples (add Lavender for a calming effect). TIP: Break away from the heat!! Keep a glass spray bottle with a few drops of Peppermint topped off with water nearby, especially when you REALLY need to cool down!
Breathe supports overall respiratory health. For a soothing chest rub apply 1-2 drops in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil and rub over the neck, chest. TIP: Diffuse Breathe at night to help reduce snoring!!!
Balance promotes whole body relaxation and brings harmony to the mind and body. Begin your day by applying Balance on the bottom of your feet and wrists to help promote feelings of calmness and tranquility throughout the day. TIP: In a 10 ml rollerball mix 20 drops each of Balance and Serenity, fill to the top with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Apply as needed for an enhanced calming effect.

Did you know you can add OnGuard to your toothbrush to help whiten you teeth!?!?? You can apply 1 drop to your toothbrush and brush teeth as normal. OR if you’re into oil pulling you can take 1 tablespoon of regular coconut oil (1 tsp it that is too much for you), add 2 drops of OnGuard, swish for 20 minutes and spit out.
This diffuser is amazing, it’s small, convenient to carry, has an option for 1,2,4hours of diffusing, there is a light and mist option as well! I love how the oils are able to spread around my classroom and fill the air!
2 of my favorite products! OnGaurd oil AND cream!!!!!!! This stuff is like an automatic healer!
I love putting lavender on at night before I go to bed to help soothe me to sleep better!

I LOVE Doterra!! Lemon is by far my favorite oil!
I too love doterra oils and use them daily! diffusing serenity in my babes' rooms at night has made such a difference for their sleeping–the diffuser goes with us whenever we are sleeping somewhere else too. I love reading about how others utilize their oils! xoxo
I'm just getting started with oils but I am loving my OnGuard so far. It has really helped my two little boys stay healthy!
I recently got an on guard and have been using it on my son and it's been amazing. No more runny nose and no more sickness from daycare!! I entered the giveaway maybe I'll get lucky!! 🙂
