No sooner did I start living on my own that I went to buy a pack of Winner rolling tobacco. That, to me, at that time, symbolized true freedom! At the age of eighteenth I was barely aware of what it means to have a healthy body. All my life I struggled with chronic stuffiness in my brain, which were often severe. I had asthma as a child. But that was then. The remedy in our home was Fenegan (a medicine that barely dilates the bronchi but makes one all the more dazed) and a cup of warm milk. Much later I discovered that milk causes slimy mucus, which actually makes it counter productive. But that's how it was in those days. It was meant with good intent. As a student in the big city of Amsterdam, I finally went to a doctor. He prescribed me an inhaler. A complete new world opened up to me. And while I kept on smoking, the medicine at least helped me to with some air in my lungs.

Essential oils from doTERRA

To me, the core of doTERRA's essential oils is about quality and safety! Watch the video below and, perhaps, you, too, will recognize that as well. I have decided for myself that I will keep on discovering the oils, and learn how to use them. I wish for everyone that same decision! This is self-care in optima forma. You yourself are responsible; you, yourself, choose; you decide on discovering what works for you and what does not. I love the possibilities that doTERRA offers to utilize that personal independence.
