RIGEL SMITH

About the Author

Hi, I am Rigel! I have been interested in essential oils ever since I was a child. When I was 10 years old I re-member checking out an “herbs and es-sential oils” book from the library and studying it from cover to cover. I was

so inspired I began creating my own “book” in an old spiral bound notebook the very next day. My notebook contained imperfect drawings of plants and flowers with the health properties of each scribbled next to the drawings. My mom and best friend were convinced that I would become an aromatherapist someday.

While I didn’t become an aromatherapist, I did leave my career as an occupa-tional therapist in 2012 to pursue a holistic-based business educating people about the benefits of essential oils. Since 2012, I have traveled all over the world sharing these amazing gifts of the earth. I’m inspired to help others create their own health and well-ness business by sharing doTERRA essential oils. Together, we transform people’s physical and mental wellbeing and even their financial wellbeing if they choose.

In my free time you can find me with my family traveling or exploring the great outdoors. You will discover many essential oils in our backpacks such as muscle sooth-ing blends and peppermint for my husband, lavender and roman chamomile for our daughter, and citrus or earthy grounding blends for me.

I have written this book to share with you some of my favorite uses and essential oil recipes. For more inspiration and recipes visit my blog at: blissedmama.com

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in flowers, seeds, stems, bark and other parts of plants. When you pierce the peel of an orange, rub fresh rose-mary leaves together in your hands, or inhale the aroma of a rose you are experiencing essential oils. Essential oils have been used for a variety of health and wellness applica-tions throughout history. The Egyptians were some of the first people to use essential oils extensively for their medicinal properties, beauty treatments, food preparation and spiritual practices. Essential oils such as frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh and cinnamon were considered so valuable they were exchanged for gold along the cara-van trade routes.

Today, we still enjoy many of the same properties from essential oils as the Egyp-tians did in ancient times. Modern day essential oils go beyond the perfume industry as health scientists and medical practitioners continue to research and validate the nu-merous health and wellness benefits of therapeutic grade essential oils.

The quality of essential oils will impact their effectiveness. In order to get a thera-peutic effect with your essential oil be sure you are using a therapeutic grade essential oil that is 100% pure AND potent. A high quality therapeutic grade essential oil will also come with a higher price tag as they are void of fillers, free from contaminants, harvested in the right growing conditions, and ethically sourced. It takes many pounds, sometimes even hundreds of pounds of plant material to make one 15ml bot-tle of therapeutic grade essential oil. Low cost oils are often diluted with fillers, syn-thetically created or support poverty during sourcing. The below checklist will help you identify if you have a high quality therapeutic grade essential oil:

3

• No fillers

• No contaminates or toxins

• No synthetic oils added

• Grown in the right environment

• Harvested at the right moment

• The right plant material selected (bark vs. flowers. vs. other plant material)

• Heated at the right temperature

• Steam has been circulated the right way, at the right pressure

• Cooled at the right rate

• Efficacy tested for its purity and therapeutic grade qualities by scientists

• Carefully controlled extraction process

• Only aromatic, pure extracts are gathered - no ineffective compounds

• Tested for balance levels of aromatic compounds

• Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry tested

• Ethically and sustainably sourced

I have experienced many brands of essential oils over the last decade but the brand I prefer is doTERRA. I have been using doTERRA exclusively since 2011 because they meet all of the previously stated criteria for a high quality therapeutic grade essential oil and have an incredible loyalty rewards program that allows me to get up to 55% off retail prices. This helps make my essential oil habit very affordable.

How do you use essential oils? Essential oils are used for a wide range of physical and emotional applications. They can be used as a single oil or oil blend in one or more of the following methods.

3 Ways to Use Essential Oils

Aromatic Essential oils, when diffused or inhaled, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air. To get the greatest therapeutic effect while diffusing, be sure to a use an ultrasonic diffuser.

Topical Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and many can be safely applied topically when used in conjunction with a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil. My favorite place to put essential oils is on the bottoms of my feet. Avoid putting essential oils in your ears, nose, or eyes.

Internal Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of health conditions. Check the label to identify if your essential oil is safe for internal use.

Have you ever smelled an aroma that immediately brought back memories of your grandmother’s home or your first love? Did you know that aroma triggers deeper emotional memories than any other sense? There is a strong connection between aroma and the mind.

Diffusing essential oils can provide many benefits such as promoting feelings of calmness, soothing, or even invigoration depending on the essential oil. When dif-fused, essential oils can also purify and cleanse the air. In order to get the most benefit from diffusing be sure to use an ultrasonic diffuser which uses gentle, heat-free elec-tronic frequencies to vaporize the oil and disperse it into the air. Diffusing is the most efficient way to use essential oils and provides benefits to the everyone in the space.

What essential oils do you need in your home?

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t use essential oils in our home. I use them daily in my beauty routine, hygiene, cleaning, cooking, mood support and every-day “emergencies.” I save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a year by making my own toxin free beauty and cleaning products.
