DR MOM
Until someone told me there was another way, I relied on a broken, sick-care system to tell me how to care for my kiddos when they were under the weather.
Until someone told me, I didn't know I could be empowered as a mom with a few basic things that would serve us anytime we started to dip below the wellness line.
No more unnecessary gut-destroying antibiotics.
No more liver-damaging pain meds.
No more unnecessary carcinogenic ingredients.
No more spending unnecessary time + money at the doctor's office.
No more coordinating how to get to the p-harm-acy with a toddler who desperately needs a nap.
The following methods are my GO-TO TOOLS as a mom.
This was our story…until someone told me:
A few nights ago, snot 🤧 was starting in the littlest, and sleep could not be had. 😑
7 years ago, I would have given her Tylenol and pushed fluids and rest, hoping it wouldn't escalate.
But, inevitably, it would.
And, we'd end up in the doctor's office, exposing her to other sick kids, while the doctor wrote a prescription for something she didn't really need. 🤦♀️
Unnecessary time, emotions, money spent.
I didn't know there is another way.
I didn't know there are safe, easy, effective methods to support her sweet body.
UNTIL. SOMEONE. TOLD. ME.
So, I share with you, mama.

TOP 3 GO-TO METHODS
FOR WHEN WE DIP BELOW THE WELLNESS LINE:
SAFE, SIMPLE DETOXIFICATION
Essential oils can enhance this tool, but aren’t required.
Best tools to use are the ones you have on-hand.
2. FAUX RAINDROP TECHNIQUE
The list of oils you could use is endless.
But, cut out the overwhelm and use the 12-pack.
It’s cost-effective, and does the job.
If you’re new to oils and don’t have a 12-pack yet, here’s why you want it:
(It comes with all these listed oils…)
Frankincense - supports normal cell health
Lavender - adaptogenic (The body will use it how it needs! So cool!)
Lemon - detoxifying/cleansing
DiGize - between the shoulder blades can help with congestion
Raven - supports breathing well
Peppermint - we use if fever spikes higher than we’d like
Panaway - would use this on my 8+ kiddos if they were achy
Thieves Vitality - supports normal immune function
Stress Away - Anytime our body notifies us something’s off-balance, one of the first things to check is the emotions.
**Quick testimony: My son had a headache the other day and I suspected it was emotion-induced. He took an Epsom Salt bath with Stress Away and it cleared right up.
Valor - This will also support emotions
Citrus Fresh - more emotional balance
Peace + Calming - I’m not joking about the emotion thing, y’all
BONUS: With the 12-pack, you’ll also get your choice of diffuser + some Ningxia Red packets to try (trust me, you’re going to want these!!).
HERE’S A BIT ABOUT MY FAVORITE 12-PACKS…
ARIA STARTER BUNDLE $265
If you’re new to oiling, this is the BEST VALUE option to get started. The Aria Diffuser is the Bentley of diffusers, with more reach and features than any other diffuser. I mean. It has a remote! READ MORE HERE…

Over $400 worth of safe, easy to use, effective products to start supporting your family today. The Desert Mist Diffuser is a workhorse. We have one in just about every room of the house. SOLID OPTION. Even has a candle flicker light setting. LEARN MORE…
My “Faux” Raindrop technique was adapted from the REAL Raindrop Technique, which was developed by Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young. It draws from his experience with Native American wellness traditions and provides a revolutionary means of nurturing harmony—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
3. HOT SOCKS TREATMENT
Same oils as I’d use for the Faux Raindrop (kinda can’t mess it up…best oils to use are the ones I have on-hand).
Slather feet with carrier oil.
Slather feet with the oils (I’m not stingy with drops).
Warm, wet socks on top, wrapped in a towel to help drive the oils into the body to do their job. 💪🏻
Mama. You can serve and support your family from a position of peace.
The road less traveled doesn’t mean NO ONE is traveling on it. It doesn’t have to be lonely.
God’s design is BRILLIANT. When we learn to walk in it, it shifts things.
I’m eager to hear your oily “wins”!
