 Hello good friends, are you there with me today sitting in front of your skin? Thank you so much and I really welcome you to today's show of our glass trails. I am T. Lipchow 3 and guess what today we are going to talk about wellness and in the natural way how to take care of your health and the well-being before cold and allergy or any kind of seasonal changes gets you it is like jumping over the puddles you know and on this regard I have health expertise Valerie Damersky on my show who is also an wellness advocate with the company doTERRA which means gift of the earth. What better way to find that expertise but just before we get to her just a quick point to note this show is divided into two parts and remember to watch the second part there Valerie will be in her workshop with friends making their own essential oils so no more time to waste let's get to Valerie welcome Valerie thank you so much for having me thank you for coming today my honor now tell me there are so many parts we take in life sometimes we just fall into them sometimes we choose them how did you come into this amazing health care the natural way well I had actually been interested in alternative health modalities my entire life but life sort of got in the way of me pursuing anyone in particular and then about five years ago I had a friend who had I was dealing with quite a difficult health challenge and we had a common friend who used doTERRA who provided her with some oils to try and help her with this illness that she was having and she had such amazing and instantaneous results that I became very interested and wanted to know more about it so I had my own discussion with this common friend about some things that I wanted to address in my own life okay so she sent me a few samples and I was so blown away quite honestly by how quickly they worked and how effective they were that I immediately knew that I had to know more and I had to have within my ability to be able to share this with other people because in just everyday life and everyday conversation everybody seems to have something that they're dealing with whether it's a physical or an emotional issue and it became very apparent to me that these amazing little oils were something that could help everyone yeah and it seems like almost every day with every season we have something cold or every day a sleep problem and sometimes we are just emotionally down but there is everything believe me in the essential oils so let's learn more from her how to get them do you like to show something absolutely so one of the things that we like to say in doTERRA is that we are here to provide natural solutions with a book and a box and I have one of our kits standing in the back of this little case here it happens to be our emotional aromatherapy kit and this book which you get when you become a member tells you everything you need to know about our company and how to use oils and about the individual oils but we also have other really wonderful resource books which I highly recommend that people who are going to be serious about using oils get because it gives them in depth the detail about which oils to try for which issues and how much to use and how often to use it and books like this even contain things like reflexology charts so that you can use them on the appropriate places of your feet in your hands or for those who are scientific minded there's scientific research that's included in here but we literally have an oil for everything and that's one of our mottos is we've got an oil for that because we pretty much do now for my particular needs this little bottle right here called breathe which is our respiratory blend is the one that single handedly sold me on this whole line because I had been dealing with environmental threats in the fall season my whole entire life and all I did was put one drop of this in my hands rub my hands together cup them over my nose and breathe in this absolutely delicious scent and it totally cleared out my sinuses and I used it pretty repetitively for a number of days but that was five years ago and I have never had to take any kind of medication again and for the last two years I haven't even had any symptoms so next time I go to a workshop I have to get that yes so this is a really great tool join her workshop we'll talk about that later yes yeah go on and the nice thing about the oil this particular oil and some of our others as well is that it comes in different formats so you can actually get breathe in a lozenge so it's more portable and you can throw it in your purse or in your car console and then we also have it in a we call it a vapor stick so it's sort of like a little deodorant tube that you roll up and it's got different base oils in it that are hard like a you know a hard stick and this is great for kids because I give this to my granddaughter when she's not feeling well and she can apply it herself I don't have to worry about her spilling it or using too much or drinking it or whatever and and this is so this is another really convenient way to carry your oils around with you so that's respiratory we also another one of our really popular oils is the deep blue this comes in both an oil and a cream is this the one yep yep and a whole bottle of that oil is in a tube of the cream this has a a lot of winter green in it and winter green is the essential oil kind of equivalent not equivalent but our our version of aspirin say so if you're if it's called the soothing blend and so it's a wonderful oil to use if you're having any muscular issues you know a lot of people suffer from low back pain and and it's also the cream is also a a real favorite of athletes because if you put it on your muscles before you do a workout it actually helps to warm up your muscles and so your less apt to injure yourself yep it became so popular with with physical therapists and personal trainers that they now make it in a big leader bottle with pump isn't that amazing yeah so a lot of our professional sports teams are starting to use it now can we all just listen I mean I'm amazed at all the powerful healings these oils and other products have but how do we get them into the bottle into the bottle yeah how do you get the bottle it's quite a process um essential oils can come from many different parts of a plant or a tree it could be the leaves it could be the bark it could be the little scent sack on the underside of a leaf as in the case of peppermint um and then you have things like frankincense and copaiba which are actually um taken from the resin of a tree so it can come from many different forms it could be the actual flower itself as in the case of jasmine but the there's so many things so many factors that go into the therapeutic value of an oil and doTERRA takes great pride and great care in making sure that all of those needs have been met so that they will have the highest therapeutic um components possible and they will go wherever in the world a plant is best grown in order to satisfy that so it could have to do with the amount of rainfall or the time of year that it can be harvested or even the altitude that it's grown the nutrients of the soil in that particular part of the world um you know you can grow lavender in a lot of places but it's grown best in a particular part of the world so that's where we go to grow it um and in many cases we're working with farmers in third world countries so we're actually giving them work which is just another wonderful component of being able to give back which is which is something that doTERRA really prides itself on as in as well um the other thing that's really important is in some cases anyway is being able to get the product from hard place of harvest to a distillery really quickly some things like jasmine and neroli they're very delicate and they have to be picked before the sun even comes up in the morning and then they have to be brought to the just the place of distillation fairly quickly so we need to build distillation centers all over the world too in relation to wherever we're growing things um so they you know that's what they do to make sure that the product is going to be fresh and then before they even put it in the bottle they test every single leader of oil seven different ways to make sure that there is nothing in the bottle except the pure essential oil there's no toxins there's no pesticides there's no chemicals there's no anything or else we don't use it and there's actually on the bottom of every bottle there is a code you'll be able to see that but it's there and um we have a place on our website called source to you where you can go and put in the code for that particular bottle and it will bring up the actual test results for that batch so you can see all the testing that's been done on it you know speaking of jasmine i can totally relate to what you said i mean up in my village home when i was growing up we had two jasmine trees at the edge of our hills and waking up in fall early in the morning it was special because we had to pick the jasmine before the sun came up because they'd wither away they would be on the green grass white with you know orange button stems oh thank you for reminding me that's beautiful but i can totally the you know the gentleness or the softness of those flowers is just make my hands tingle yes and all that's there in the bottle yeah absolutely and they've done a lot of filming in the individual parts of the world where these things are grown and harvested so we can actually see the people who are working in the fields for us and another way that doTERRA gives back and in and many of these places is if they if they're working in a part of the world that's very very poor we will ask them what their communities need most and it could be a school it could be um they need to have a well dug for fresh water um you know whatever it is that they need we will give back to them in that way as well so yeah now suppose you know as a suppose i have allergy and i don't know anything about daughter our natural healing and if i go to the doctor they'll tell me no like i might be tempted to take some allergy medicine but how would i choose them but then i also know that this is there so how will i choose between the natural and the synthetic questions of my health well i obviously personally i always think it's better to go natural because i've seen way too many cases of people who have um ended up with more issues shall we say from taking over the counter or prescription meds um so that they end up turning to more alternative forms of taking care of themselves also because it's it's um less um less expensive in the long run and it's usually much faster acting oh really oh absolutely it's just slow acting not in a lot of cases um that was my experience anyway was breathe when i was dealing with it for my seasonal problem was that the minute i took in a deep inhale i could feel it moving through my sinuses and just cleaning everything out and making me be able to breathe again which was a new sensation for me in the middle of october so um but again i would refer back to the book so i would say if someone calls me and says they have a particular issue the first thing i do is go to the ailment section and i look it up and it gives me several different options because everybody's different yes everybody's going to react differently and um let's just take you know if you have um any kind of head tension going on um there's different kinds and it could be happening for different reasons so sometimes we have to use one oil sometimes we have to use another oil um i know my daughter has dealt with that for most of her life very in a very serious way and so when i started using the oils there was one in particular that i gave her it's called past tenth and it's totally like 90 cleared up that issue for her so it's really gratifying especially as a parent to be able to provide answers to my child for something that's been literally debilitating for most of her life yeah but these but these books are are very very helpful in that regard uh but tell me a little bit about uh where is the where's the main company of the doTERRA and how do you like work in Massachusetts on that? Sure um they are based in Utah and um we have a beautiful and very fast growing corporate center there in fact they are building a new building now it's they expect to be done in 2019 which is going to be our first alternative medicine clinic and there people will be able to receive both allopathic and alternative health care without health insurance it's going to be a membership based facility and they've now identified i think three other locations mostly in the western part of the country where they're going to build more of these centers and their dream is to have them all over the country but we operate as a multi-level marketing company it's network marketing which is one of the fastest growing forms of entrepreneurship out there and it allows people to work from home work on their own schedule be with their family and pretty much control the amount of income that they receive whereas going to a regular nine to five you're limited to a dollar amount per hour um but in network marketing you have the option to really pretty much make as much as you want so it's a very financially liberating way to work um but it also allows us to get out there and meet with people one on one to do things in a classroom setting um i have people that i'm working with in other countries now through the miracle of technology um with like Skype and zoom i'm able to sit and literally have one-on-ones with people in Peru or England or Africa or wherever and um to be able to literally reach out and help them so it's wonderful yeah it's very it's very empowering for me as well that's amazing that's good side of the technology absolutely now tell me you have experienced life in i see like how so many ways uh you were an aroma dance leader yes i am aroma touch practitioner make a master yes and working with this natural healing so can you tell us a little bit about your the other healing sure yeah they all blend very nicely um because what we have found is that you can pretty much incorporate essential oils into whatever your line of work is it's really pretty fascinating um but so we are like again well yes absolutely yes and so that we can help the people that we work with so whether you're an acupuncturist or a chiropractor or any kind of a therapist a teacher there's ways to bring essential oils into what you do on a daily way if you are working with people on a daily basis it's a really wonderful way to support everyone there have been some fabulous um kind of experiments that have been done in the classroom where teachers have diffused certain oils um maybe at the time of day when kids are getting a little antsy i need them from my grandkids oh yeah when they're back from school exactly yes absolutely or when they were taking a test and they needed to really focus she would diffuse different oils to see what kind of um effect that it had and one of those little experiments happened locally in greenfield um at the school of one of my team members children and the kids themselves actually wrote thank you letters oh because they recognized the changes within themselves because of what was happening with them just inhaling these scents they felt like they concentrated more they felt like they were getting along better um they felt calmer they you know they recognized those changes in themselves and that i found to be quite fascinating um but i as i mentioned have always been interested in alternative forms of health and when i got into the oils i found that the new circle of people that i was working with were all oriented this way of course and so all my new friends were all energy workers okay so just see how do you dear friends are you there are you planning to buy the oils to try them that is that season you know we are getting ready with sneezes and hot chew and cough syrups and all that but maybe you would like to think of yourself as a whole being and the wellness right not to go there at all guard on guard that we have one well right absolutely yeah yes absolutely and so go on and tell us how to find you absolutely well i actually work um right down the street i'm at 800 main street i co-run a center amethyst brook wellness and um there i do my energy work uh in reiki and integrated energy therapy and i incorporate oils into everything that i do there um we have oils that we're about will bounce every chakra so if people are stuck in one of their centers we can help to unstick that and um help them move through that process it's also where i hold all of my essential oil classes or most of them i do go to people's homes if they would invite me in and they have friends who would like to learn more but every friday the first friday of every month at 6 30 we have a an essential oil workshop on varying themes the one that you came to was all immunity based and the one for december will be more in the gift giving idea so we'll be making things that you can then give as gifts and they will all be oil based so i do wellness consultations um i can obviously do treatments i'm certified as an aromatouch practitioner and that is a beautiful topical treatment that we do when a person's back in the bottoms of their feet with eight different oils to help support their immune system we do inflammation and encourage relaxation that's amazing so thank you so much velary oh you are so welcome and we would like to thank her for all the natural ways of taking care of our health that she has told us about and it is velary demersky that we have been talking to and the place to find her is at amethyst book wellness center at main street correct and you can find us on facebook i also have a facebook page that is just oil information under my own personal brand which is the center of health and the

thank you velary thank you to live so now dear friends are you ready for the winter or anywhere you are on the part of the earth seasons go around right turn turn they always turn around and definitely if we are energy beings we want to connect to the mother earth in her natural way and i was there at velary's workshop and that's where i landed on me like a shooting star i've got to let you know more about this and this is where i am today and thanking amas media for making this day and it's great team i'm so privileged to be able to be be with you with this amazing health chips and wishing you all good health spirit and energy thank you for being with me today i am tulip choudhury until we meet next again welcome you all to tonight's class on how to support your immune system with essential oils my name is valory demorsky and i co-own this beautiful center with denise denine and we always love having classes here because it gives us great space to be able to spread out everybody has a little bit of room and we can also all enjoy our little shocher tree back here but tonight like i said we're going to be talking about immune system it's getting into that time of year when everybody needs to be thinking about how they can keep those germs away because they're going to be floating through the air everywhere you go if they're not already so i'm going to start by handing out a trifle brochure to you that has a little bit of information about oh you've got one already there about doTERRA in general and essential oils and this will pretty much give you everything you need to know on a single sheet of paper that essential oils are they obviously come from nature they come from every part of a plant whether it be a flower or a tree a lot of our a lot a few of our oils actually come from the resin from a tree like frankincense and copaiga but we have others that come from the leaves the bark the stems the flower petals themselves like in jasmine and then they are distilled cold water distilled or cold steam distilled to to get the highest potency from the oils that's possible you never ever want to heat your oils so you don't want to put them in one of those little tea light things and heat them because you're just going to cook away all the therapeutic value of the oil and you're just going to be left with a pretty fragrance but because our oils are certified pure therapeutic grade that's what you're paying for you want to be able to utilize that so don't heat your oils even our diffusers you want to make sure that you're using something that's specific for essential oils and that is a pool mist diffuser that one of the things that i love about doTERRA and i'll talk a little bit more about this later is that they're very very careful to set up distilleries very close to where they're harvesting the plants so we have distilleries all over the world because we grow all over the world and it's called co-impact sourcing it's at the bottom of the page there and of that first column so because a plant is going to give you its greatest therapeutic value based on a lot of different things it could be the altitude that a plant was grown at or the nutrients in the soil in a particular area the amount of sunlight rainfall that it gets and let's face it you know yes you can grow lavender in utah but it's not necessarily going to be the best therapeutic value that you can get from the plant if it's grown some place in that climate so doTERRA does the research to find out where in the world a plant is best grown and that's oftentimes oh i'm sorry do you want to turn you feel free to turn that if it's i'll just move to a different direction that's okay you can turn the top of it and it will redirect it yep yep there you go just moving around so we go wherever in the world a plant is best grown and then as i said they often will build a distillery right there so that they can move the plant very quickly from where it's been harvested to where it's distilled and again not lose any of the therapeutic values so another thing that's really important in the co-impact sourcing aspect of our growing is that oftentimes we end up harvesting or growing in third world countries and so we're able to give work to these people and and this in the i think it was frankincense they did this amazing video on where the people who had been harvesting frankincense for like generations had been selling to a middleman who was selling to the general market and these people were working really hard and not getting a whole lot of money for their work well doTERRA stepped in and said hey if you'd like to work for us we can get rid of that middleman and we'll be able to pay you 10 times what you're getting paid now so of course that's what they're doing and beyond that when we contract with a harvester one of the things that doTERRA will always ask is what can we give back to you in your community for what you are doing for us and if they say again was it frankincense where they asked the tribe asked for a new school and um and i think it was emily right who said we'll build you a new school as long as girls can go because they've never been that the girls could attend school and they said okay so for the first time in the history of this area girls were able to go to school but they've built homes and libraries and dug wells and maybe we were the first people to go in after the bat earthquake in napal a few years ago we built them two new schools right away um we put new wells in Haiti a few years back after the devastation even though we lost our distillery there for vetiver so they give back and they give back and they give back in big ways not only to the people that work for them in the harvesting world but also to us as distributors and to you as customers they are they are absolutely committed to giving you the highest quality oil that is possible and they will literally test every single liter of oil seven different ways before it goes in that bottle so you know that you are getting the highest quality oil possible they even have a website called source to you and there's a link to it from doTERRA where you can look at the bottom of any bottle of oil and there's a code um there and if you go to that website source to you and you put in that code it will literally tell you all the testing the gmas testing and the results that were done on that particular bottle that's pretty cool so in the middle column of your trifold we talk about the most basic oils that are in virtually every kit that we have almost all of them um these are basic 10 frankincense lemon lavender melaleuca oregano peppermint breathe deep blue digesting and on guard every single one of these oils is in that kit for a reason because even if you just have this 10 out of the 100 or however many oils we have now you can deal with just about anything that comes your way whether it's a physical issue or an emotional issue um if it's a cleaning project that you have if your kids put um marker on the walls you can get that off with lemon and melaleuca a lot of these oils are adjustable so you can cook with them so there's a myriad of things that you can do with these oils now lemon lavender and peppermint in and of themselves we actually have in a little introductory kit here this is um something that we're very excited about because we're going to be using this kit in particular as a fundraiser for Amherst media and um for a $30 purchase people will be actually not only getting these great oils for themselves but there'll be a $10 donation back to the studio um these oils in these three oils in particular when people buy the kit I actually have a pdf with 101 ways just to use those three oils and that's just a partial list of all the things that you can do with them but it's enough to get you started most people are familiar with lavender you know it's incented in so many different things that we use in our daily life um but what most people don't realize is a lot of the things that you're smelling out there with a lavender scent in it also contain other fragrances and toxic toxic things and so I'll get people who say oh I can't I can't be around lavender it gives me a headache well yeah it probably does if you're smelling it out of something from one of those stores that makes bath and body kinds of things I won't name names um but if you're smelling pure lavender out of the bottle or diluted and used in lotion or something I don't know anybody that's gotten a headache from our lab store because there's nothing in it but the pure essence of a plant so you can be sure that when you're using our products that um you know 999 times out of a thousand you're not going to have any kind of a reaction like that to it in fact it'll probably help your headache um I know I'm the headache queen I've had three brain surgeries and I've had a gazillion headaches in my life that have just put me to my knees and I wish to God I had had these oils back when that happened but even when I have them now um for my daughter who has suffered with migraines her whole entire life has literally had a migraine stop in its tracks even when she was as far as 45 minutes into it if you've ever had a migraine you know that once it starts you're done for a while um so these oils can be extremely helpful for people who have acute issues or chronic issues um or have any kind of you have a whole line of oils that are specifically for emotional support as well um oils like breathe breathe is the oil I was telling somebody this earlier that sold me single-handedly on doTERRA from my very first inhale of breathe I knew that I was not going to be able to stop talking about these oils I had suffered with allergies my whole entire life um couldn't live from August to October without being on chlorotrimaton every day and when I took my first inhale of breathe I went oh my god there's something to this it just cleared everything out and I've never taken another allergy pill in fact last year I didn't even have any symptoms for the first time ever so that's been life changing for me and I've seen life changing things happen to people time after time after time after time after time after time and Val and mine cleared up my allergies cleared up this year too I actually was having severe issues the last starting five years ago with my eyes swelling and running I remember even last October when I went to Arizona and it just went for like a month I couldn't stop it and went to the eye doctor and they're like you just have to ride it out because I became immune to the allergy medicine they had me take and that was terrible so this year I've really practiced on using my oils really regularly to build up my immunity and I have never had one issue yeah it's pretty awesome I love it I just love it when I hear stories like that um one of the reasons that I even started in doker was to literally try and find something to help my mother's pain because she's dealt with fibromyalgia for 25 years and I put her through quite a regimen for about three months of different oils to help with pain and sleep and put her through a cleanse and did a road touch and a number of things and in three months she literally came to me one day and said I have no more pain and that was the most gratifying thing I could ever hear and I said if I never ever do anything else with doker my work is done but by the same token knowing what I know and having seen what I have seen the other thing I say all the time is I can't stop talking about it I feel like I have something that everybody needs because you can't have a conversation with anybody anymore that they're not talking about something that hurts or that they're sad or they're you know a friend just had a diagnosis of some awful thing and it's like everybody needs this and I'm finding that everybody wants this because they're sick and tired of the trips to the doctor and those little white pieces of paper and how much it all costs and ruining their health on antibiotics and and and so to know that you have a natural solution is huge and to be able to put it in their hands and say I can help you is very gratifying so so there's a little bit about each one of these oils in the middle of the page here and we're going to be utilizing a number of these in the blends that we're doing tonight but first I want to talk a little bit more about how exactly you use essential oils because it's way more than just smelling them yes inhaling them is one of the best ways to use them especially if you're using oils for emotional purposes because as soon as you inhale the scent and we've all had this experience driving down the road with somebody hit a skunk like two miles down the road but you can smell it and the minute you do you have a reaction same way when you smell the beautiful flower you inhale that scent it makes you feel good it's the same kind of thing you inhale the scent of an essential oil it hits your olfactory bulb goes directly into the brain and starts chemical changes in the body that can literally change your mood so we even we use them a lot with people that have PTSD even people who are on suicide watch you know it can really help to change your mood simple just feeling like I'm not having a good day put some citrus bliss in your diffuser anything citrus actually will help to raise your mood so these oils can be really helpful for that and I think I've told you at Disney World that's how they push out so when you go to the rides where you stand in line for an hour or two at a time where you stand in line the longest action where they diffuse wild orange I noticed it like three four years ago because we're part of Disney Vacation Club so we go two or three times a year and like four years ago I was standing in line and it was an hour and a half wait and I was like as I moved up into the line I realized it was getting stronger and stronger and where it is the most stressful for people to stand and their kids would be acting up that's where they're diffusing it at it was pretty funny oh that's great no it's very true it's very true um also one of the wonderful things about our oils because they are so pure is that about 80 percent of them can be taken internally we do have some that especially the tree oils that are blended with some other things and so they aren't recommended to be taken internally but most of them you can so we like a whole set of oils that can be used in your cooking we have thyme and cardamom and black pepper that you can literally use in the play in replacing um dry herbs in your cooking so it's very cost effective that way as well and the taste is intense way more so you know sometimes you get dry herbs and they sit in your cupboard and they you know lose their strength but oils number two in fact um they really don't have an expiration date some of them have it on the bottle because I think they make us put an expiration date on it but aside from citrus oils that I think it's like four years or something but most of them really they don't expire it just because I just came across a peppermint this morning and I decided to put that in my diffuser and it had an expiration date on it and when I opened up the top I could see that well this smells really good so I'm not worrying about it and it was fine yeah yeah it is and in fact the um the Egyptians really understood the value of essential oils in fact it was more important to them than money and jewels because they understood what it could do for their health so when the pharaohs were buried in their tombs they would have these huge clay vessels filled with essential oils to take with them to the other side and when you know thousands of years later when the tombs were discovered and broken into or whatever with archaeological dates they could literally still smell the essential oil because it was it was put in clay which is porous and it's still they could still get a scent from all of that so it's really pretty amazing so one of the things that we want to do is put our label on first you're going to where's your bottle okay so you're going to put the little nozzly thing in the top of this yeah try and keep it right in there yep and push your nozzle up and down while it's staying in there go right up to the neck okay all right it's probably like three all right so there's your label and your bottle and your breast and for this one we need brise, lime, cofiber, mucalyptus, and marjoram okay all right and the drops are on there as well um i don't know if you've heard me telling this lady but sometimes they come up really fast so you want to go really slow and if you find that it's coming out too fast or too slow just rotate the bottle a little bit but you shouldn't have to turn it upside down and in fact it probably won't come out very well if you do that so you're rotating the bottle until you find the right spot is kind of the best thing to do and then this is fractionated as well the bottle is um kind of greasy from the fractionated but i find this to be an easier way to do it because the spout is long and you can just lay out the neck of the bottle do you want to share that the um it will break it down yep yes but you probably don't have it in there for very long well that's fractionated so that's fine the lid is cracked yes oh dear maybe poor for the other side yeah i i meant to change stuff before i came yeah for sure is it not doing it okay use this one instead sorry about that i knew there was one that had a problem yes to get back to your your plastics question yeah there are two kinds of plastic that are safe okay yes and i've got to try and think of you know the numbers in the triangle on the bottom i want to say it's one and two but i wouldn't want to look that up to be sure i know don't hear i actually did an article on that that's that was all about which plastics are safe i know pet plastics are safe wow and what is the initial d d e p e i would want to look that up before i sure say but like when i go on to when i'm buying um spray bottles in bulk when i'm going like we're going to be doing a class next month on holiday gift giving and one of the things that we'll probably be making or yeah we have sue today at valerie's workshop and she has come to make some rollerball oils and let's hear from her so how did you hear about i heard about this through a facebook messenger from emily she she let me know that this workshop was happening and i was interested so i thought i'd come and learn some more so what kind of oil have you made today i have made one for the respiratory blend which is five different essential oils plus the fractionated coconut oil so it has a brief kapaiba lime eucalyptus and marjoram and it smells fantastic we'll see how it works yeah good luck with the oil and it's an exciting experience isn't it making her own oil instead of just buying it from the store it's it's fun thank you and it's nice to see exactly what's going into it yes and not having any definitely more sinister ingredients thank you sue thank you today at valerie's workshop and let's see why she's here so i'm here i was supposed to come with a friend of mine tonight and introduce her to oils because she's been having serious migraines but she's at home sick because she needs to take some medicine and that medicine has made her sick so i i thought you know i'm gonna come anyway i hadn't seen valerie's whole presentation and i was so glad i did because i got to meet with a couple of other ladies who i knew some information about some oils and that had some experience that i was able to pass on that information so but uh yeah i'm starting to really see the value of oils and how you can use them in your in your daily life for mental health emotional health physical spiritual well-being and as a reiki master as well i use it a lot in my own reiki practice with my own patients and stuff as well um helping them relax and and helping them become more in tune with their own spirituality and helping to unblock energy so i use it a lot in that realm as well so but i'm here because i love oils and because you can never uh learn too much so that's why i came tonight thank you for joining us for sharing this you're welcome thank you for asking me you're welcome
