tummy tamer

DigestZen is known as doTERRA’s “tummy tamer” blend due to its ability to aid in digestion, soothe occasional stomach upset, and maintain overall digestive health. This unique blend contains Ginger, Fennel, and Coriander to help ease occasional stomach discomfort, including motion sickness and indigestion, while Peppermint, Tarragon, Anise, and Caraway aid with digestion and help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

This is the blend that made a believer out of many of my team members!  One of my dear friends was so thrilled to find out that all she had to do is rub a drop or two over her tummy to cool down that uncomfortable burning feeling.  This had been a big problem for her for many years and she found she no longer needed anything else -- just DigestZen.  A BIG "AH-HA!" moment!  Amazingly fast and effective with no unwanted effects.

Another friend shared this testimony:  
"The other night my 4-year old was hitting his stomach and frowning at me during dinner out. He kept starting to eat then putting it back instead and hitting his stomach again upset. He wouldn't communicate with me what was wrong. I pulled my DigestZen TOUCH out and he swiped his belly and about 5 minutes later he finished his dinner and stopped slapping his stomach. Come to find out he had some sudden bad gas but I loved I didn't have to know exactly what was wrong with him to get him relief - naturally! The complaints stopped almost immediately!! We love Digestzen!!"

You can get this terrific aid in four different forms: as a pure oil DigestZen blend, as a convenient pre-diluted "Touch" rollerball bottle, as Softgels and as chewable tablets that contain both our DigestZen blend and calcium carbonate (Digest Tab).


Primary Benefits
  • Aids in the digestion of foods
  • Soothes occasional stomach upset
  • Helps reduce bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion

Ingredients
Ginger Rhizome/Root, Peppermint Plant, Caraway Seed, Coriander Seed, Anise Seed, Tarragon Plant, and Fennel Seed essential oils.

Aromatic Description
Spicy, sweet, minty, licorice
​

Uses
  • Add a few drops to water to take internally or rub on the stomach before flying or taking a road trip for a calming aroma.
  • Take as needed for any digestive or GI tract upset due to any cause.
  • Have DigestZen on hand when enjoying heavy holiday meals to promote digestion.
  • Take DigestZen with you when traveling or trying new foods to soothe occasional stomach upset.
  • Add to water or tea to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

Directions for Use
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid. Softgels and Digest Tabs - follow directions on the bottles

Now, for me, I use DigestZen for the typical things, but my primary use is to keep my sinuses clear and open for easier breathing.  It is a true POWER TOOL for both those purposes!!

scaly patch recipe

1/6/2017

I found a scaly weird little patch of skin on my scalp a couple of months ago -- ick! It was roughly a cirdle and about an inch and a half across.  It wasn't itchy, but it was quite irritated and very flaky/scaly.  

So I researched oils and natural solutions and tried several.  I tried coconut oil alone. I tried different combinations of essential oils, some neat, some diuted, and in different combinations.. 

I didn't want to share with y'all until I found something that worked ... and I have! Once I started using the recipe below, the scaly area went from a pretty sizable patch to just a little bump after about two weeks.  After less than a month, it was completely gone.   I also went back to using my doTERRA Salon Essentials Protecting Shampoo and Smoothing Conditioner, exclusively.

As a daily follow-up application, because it is known to be so good for the scalp and to encourage hair growth, I add a drop or two of Rosemary to my conditioner and work it well into my scalp.  I let this sit in my hair while finishing my shower, to soak in as long as possible.  Every now and then -- maybe once every week or two -- I add a drop of Rosemary to my towel-dried hair.



Scaley Patch Recipe for skin and scalp
I used equal parts of jojoba oil and aloe juice (about 2 tablespoons of each), plus two dropperfuls of doTERRA's Root to Tip Serum as my base. I used a glass dropper bottle (actually a cleaned-out liquid stevia bottle!)

T hen I added:
  • 8 drops Lavender
  • 8 drops Geranium
  • 5 drops Myrrh
  • 5 drops Melaleuca
  • 5 drops Frankincense
  • 5 drops Thyme
  • 5 drops Clary Sage
  • 3 drops Helichrysum
  • 3 drops Ylang Ylang
  • 3 drops Rosemary
optional:  a dropperful or two of "trauma oil": (calendula & arnica)

Shake the bottle well each time you use it!

At first -- for a couple of weeks or so: Drop several drops on the spot at night, massage it in and then wash your hair as usual in the mornings. Add one drop of Rosemary to each application of conditioner and massage your scalp well before rinsing. After towel-drying your hair, apply another drop of either Rosemary or Lavender and massage it well into your scalp.

For skin:  Apply as needed.  Don't rinse off.  This makes a great all-purpose skin and beauty treatment -- very nourishing to your skin!  In fact, since I had some left over after my scalp was okay, I've used this as my anti-aging serum.  Don't you LOVE that about doTERRA's oils?!?

Honestly, I SLATHER these all over my face, under my nose, around my ears, lymph nodes under my ears and down my neck and chest.  Dilute 1 - 2 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil.  For my daughter - a big 11-year-old - I pretty much do the same.  For smaller children, apply 1 drop diluted with FCO to chest, spine and bottoms of feet.

HOW TO's:
* Diffuse, inhale directly from palms, or rub on chest or feet when seasonal and environmental threats are high.
* Use when outdoors to minimize the effects of seasonal threats.
* Diffuse at bedtime for a restful night’s sleep.
* Diffuse or inhale directly from palms, or rub on chest when environmental threats are high


BREATHE
My go-to to help with ALL things respiratory, help clear airways and ease breathing while minimizing the effects of seasonal threats.


DIGESTZEN
Weird, right? DigestZen is known as doTERRA’s “tummy tamer” blend due to its ability to aid in digestion, soothe occasional stomach upset, and maintain overall digestive health. But I use it to blast open my sinuses. Amazing.


BASIL
Basil has a warm, spicy, yet herbal aroma known to reduce anxious feelings. Like DigestZen, I use it to ease pressure around my ears and sinuses.


BREATHE VAPOR STICK
I take this with me EVERYWHERE I go. Plus I have one at my bedside and one at my daughter's. Convenient, quick, and smooth. After I apply the three oils above, I apply this in the same areas and bask in my awesome ability to BREATHE!
