The vast majority of the books, products and natural medicine I discuss on my website I have purchased with my OWN MONEY, and used long enough (years often) to have developed a strong opinion.

My daughter spent the night at a relatives house a week and a half ago and brought home a nice gift: a virus. It’s been going through our family and caused croup in my baby and toddler. I am still getting over congestion myself. Here’s a video I made about it on the spur of the moment.
Tool #1-Essential Oils. I’ve been rubbing Doterra’s immune blend called OnGuard, diluted with carrier oil on their chest and neck (and I drink this in herbal tea too). I also
rubbed a respiratory blend called Breathe on their feet, which cuts congestion and helps them and me breathe much easier. I’ve also been drinking lemon essential oil in my water, which is gently cleansing and decongesting. My reference guide suggests essential oils of thyme, marjoram and sandalwood, (diluted) so I’m rubbing my baby down with those too.
Tool #2-Elderberry syrup. I was giving my kids Elderberry syrup every few hours to keep things at bay. Today I’ve Read more…
If you’d like to give Jenni some feedback on what classes you’d like, here’s the place to do it!
If you do share about how Mom Essentials has helped you, please leave your first name so I can quote you.
I’m a busy mom, so I want to make sure what I’m sharing with you is practical and what will benefit you and your family. Thanks so much for your feedback!
With seven rambunctious kids, I have to have good home medical tools. I’d go crazy if I didn’t. Essential oils have given me effective and nurturing ways to treat my family’s ills.
I finished a master herbalist degree a couple summers and have been studying essential oils. I still use herbs for various health issues, but I have found essential oils to be much more effective than regular herbs in treating many problems.
They are as potent as drugs, without the side effects. So, even though my husband is an ER physician, I end up treating the Read more…
Neosporin is gone for good at our house. We don’t ever look back. My kids know our essential oils and ointment work so well, they’re begging for these whenever they get a scratch (which is about every 10 minutes).
Why would we want a natural alternative to antibiotic ointment? Conventional thinking teaches us that we need to kill potentially harmful viruses and bacteria, especially in dealing with wounds. But what about our healthy flora? Read more…
I am greatly motivated to get you some fresh holiday ideas as the holidays are upon us, and I’m also presenting a “fresh” giveaway.
Since I’ve received so many requests for the Modern Essentials reference book, I am giving away another copy, which makes me happy that you all are interested in education! I am also giving away a large (15 ml) bottle of Wild Orange essential oil and a bag of On Guard Protecting Throat Lozenges. One lucky winner will receive each of these items.
Hey! This is Emili, Jen’s sister. I think most of us have a couple unwanted pounds we wouldn’t mind parting with. True? I’m going to share how new Doterra products have helped me and how they can help you shed extra lbs.
(Please keep in mind that I am a stay-at-home Mom that has had some great weight-loss success lately, but I am not a doctor or trained health professional. I’m just sharing what has worked for me.)
First and foremost, your body needs good food and nutrition to lose weight. There are many fad diets, magical Read more…
Hi, this is Jenni’s sister Emili. I am more of a novice when it comes to herbs and oils, I haven’t taken many courses or had quite the extensive experience that Jenni has, but I try new things and learn as I go. I’ll be posting to share some of my experiences as I have them.
I have a 9 month old baby girl who has recently been teething. I noticed it about a month ago when she started acting fussy for no apparent reason. I decided to try some oils since I know they act quickly.
I took a 4 oz spray bottle and put in a few drops of clove and cinnamon (known to be good for pain and numbing), and some lemon and wild orange oils. The citrus is good for the immune system and it makes it taste yummy. I also added some Pure Stevia Extract Powder. Read more…
Frankly, I’m getting tired of them . . .allergy attacks, that is. I hear Cedar City has a fairly high pollen count.
All I know is, on and off, all spring and summer I get sneezy, runny nose, itchy throat and sometimes itchy eyes.
I’ve noticed that it’s worse when the clouds roll in. It doesn’t make any sense to me, but it definitely gets worse when rain is threatening. When I eat too much dairy, my symptoms are exacerbated further. Read more…
My son had his last baseball game of the season tonight. We do sports about once a year for each child, otherwise our lives are too crazy. Anyway, I decided to take the kids out afterward for some food and dessert at Hogi Yogi. I try not to buy things with white sugar, but we splurge here and there. We ate chicken and brown rice, then frozen pineapple yogurt with raspberries on top. Sounds pretty benign, right? Read more…
After Mike’s residency, he landed a job in southern Utah, where we still happily reside.
I was pregnant with our fourth child when we moved from Tucson to Cedar City, so I started hunting for a good midwife. I was ready for a different experience than I had had with my previous three births. Read more…
