A note from Jess: My Favorite Oil
A note from Jess:
Often times when teaching a class, I come to oils that I introduce as "one of my favorites". While I catch myself saying it with many, melaleuca has always been at the top.
Tea tree is one of the most recognizable and well known aromas associated with essential oils. It's been sold for years, easily found on shelves around the world in thousands of different stores. Even before getting my hands on the best quality within doTERRA, I was using tea tree to combat blemishes, itchy scalp, and other skin imperfections. (with limited success compared to now)
When I got my first kit, melaleuca was the first one I turned to. The aroma was comforting, familiar, and nostalgic. All these other oils I was still clueless what I was going to do with, yet this little bottle was like an old friend.
Knowing now what I didn't know then-scent is one of the quickest ways to trigger memories. When using doTERRA oils, the molecules reach your brain within seconds. I was instantly taken back to summer nights, freshly showered, catching lightning bugs in jammies with wet hair. Flashbacks of my teenage bathroom adorned with jewelry boxes, clothes strung about, and a counter full of makeup shared with my sisters. Memories of freshly moisturized skin under my favorite fuzzy pajamas settling in for a movie on a chilly night.
This oil now wasn't just keeping my skin clear, helping my nails grow, shining up my hair, and boosting my immune system. It was relaxing me, grounding me, and comforting me. It was effecting my emotional health without even touching it. I'm so grateful to have found the cleanest source, the purest form, and the most rigorously tested version of my long time friend.
My favorite uses for Melaleuca include:
Applying directly to blemishes, rashes or skin imperfections
Massaging into my scalp with conditioner
Rubbing into nail beds for strength + growth
Using heart center to relieve feelings of overwhelm, experiencing grounding and centering properties.
Adding to spray bottle as a natural bug repellent
Using with coconut oil for natural SPF protection
Adding to diffuser with lemon to freshen and cleanse my environment
Dropping in to my all purpose cleaner for anti viral, anti fungal, and cleansing properties throughout my home
Applying to feet for immune support
