[Everything doTERRA] Re: Workplace Harassment Using doTERRA?

My two scents .... I mean cents:

Maybe the migranes are being caused by this job. I've been there on
that type of job and maybe this is happening to show you that your
body needs a change in environment and stress level and co-workers.

Also, maybe you are applying too much? With these oils, you really
only need drop, a dab or a dot. And I find that the smells don't
linger indefinately - they disappear pretty quickly so why the
lingering smells? If you are using them as perfume, then that may be
the problem.

Are you using the LLV? These should get rid of the headaches if they
are being caused by something in the body. Have you done the GX and
PB Assist? These would be beneficial as well. I would put the oils
on the feet or capsules during the day. Don't put them in places
where they will get on your coat, clothing, etc. which will hold the
smells.

If you are pro-active about resolving the smell complaints and you
still get healthy, they will be looking at you for the reasons why.

Good luck!
