[Everything doTERRA] Re: Questions about how the oils are absorbed...

Thank you Christina. I have come to learn so much about my body and how I respond to different oils. It is interesting, just picking up the oil and thinking about how I need it to work, I can almost "feel" where my body needs me to place it. So, they are extremely intuitive for me now - but not so much during the first month. I pretty much showered in them. 

That being said, my brain wants to know the science behind it. Not for proof but for curiosity. It is so fascinating to me and I crave more and more information. So what you have said here makes perfect sense. 

Also, what you said about the oils do not heal but they provide the foundation for your body to heal itself... I have experienced that. I was on 5 different prescriptions for hormone balancing. Now? Down to ONE! But this was an unexpected benefit. I hadn't even planned on it but once I started with the oils and the supplements, my body kind of "forced" me to stop taking the meds. Anyway. Thanks for this. It helps a lot.

I believe that the oils have an innate quality and that they are always working to bring our body into optimum balance and also that our Central Nervous System is has its own intelligence.

When we apply the oils the body will take what it needs to feel supported and to do its own healing.  The oils do not heal...they provide the foundation and support that the body needs to heal itself.  Be it at whatever level (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual) that it needs.

Applying oils to the spine is important because we have all the spinal nerves that carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. Applying to the feet, hand, ear...that's were we have the maps of the body so when you apply the oils to these areas the nerve endings and meridians take care of bringing the qualities of the oils applied to the specific corresponding organ, gland or area.

As far as placing your body on overload, I guess it can happen.  Maybe you should oils that have a common denominator and that address most of the issues.  Applying them one by one and see how the body responds...give it some time for the body to adjust to each one...most importantly...listen to your body.  See how you wake up in the morning after using only one or two oils at night.   Change the oils and how you mix them. Keep a diary with your reactions.  Be your own detective, in control of your health and choose how you want to use these beautiful gifts from nature.

Hope this helps.

I have been doing a lot of reading in the doTerra book and checking out online webinars by IPC's and Dr. Hill and it has raised a couple questions...

A couple precursors to my question:

* You know how the oils can penetrate your entire body within 20 minutes or so? So, technically, I could put deep blue on my elbow and it could, within a few minutes, help my knee stop hurting. (at least that is what Justin Harrison said in a Dr. Hill Webinar)

* In a post I had made a while ago, someone said that lemon on the spine can help a runny nose. And it did - within minutes. 

* Attempting to treat a UTI, I looked through The Book and the App. I followed the suggested protocol which was rubbing certain oils on my lower abdomen.

So, here are my questions:

Couldn't I, in theory, just place a drop, of which ever oil I needed, at any spot on my body... wouldn't it eventually get to the right place anyway?

So, why, when using the lemon, the recommended way, did it work so quickly? Is there something special about using oils on the spine and couldn't I do that with all the other oils if it is so well absorbed at that spot? Where are oils best absorbed? (I have mainly been doing the neck, throat, wrists and bottoms of feet - of course deep blue goes everywhere that hurts)

Why is it necessary to put the oils on the abdomen for certain conditions but ok to put oils in "non-related" spots for other conditions? How do I know when I need to apply oil to the affected area or just apply oil - where ever?

And, finally, does it affect the oil's potency or confuse my body if I use many oils at once (I just have SO many things wrong with me :x). I am finally understanding the "one drop is a lot" thinking and not "pouring" them like I did right at first. But, between multiple health issues, I wonder if using 6-8 oils every night will overwhelm the body? Confuse the cells?

These are the questions that run through my brain when I should be sleeping. Now, to go get my Serenity... :)
