October 2017
Yogis and Oil Lovers,
Fall is here. The colors are so beautiful and the air is getting crisp in the evenings. This is my absolute favorite month of the year! And this is a busy one. I am returning to school in Duluth on the 6th to start my TT500 level training in Somatic Yoga. Each month that I am in Duluth, on Thursday evening, I will be teaching a class at Embody Yoga on incorporating essential oils into your practice.

Registration is now closed.

NAME: Siberian Fir $20w/$26.67r/20pv
SOURCE: Russia
PART OF PLANT: Needle/Twig
DISTILLING METHOD: Steam
CHEMICAL COMPONENT: ESTERS/Bornyl Acetate/RESTORING
Our existing conifer oils are white fir, douglas fir, cedarwood, juniper berry, arborvitae, and cypress.
Fir oils have similar characteristics and benefits
Why do we want this? White Fir is no longer being sold, as we can’t get it in the sustainable sourcing, quantity and quality we want.
Siberian Fir has more prominent chemistry.
When compared, the chemistry between Siberian and White Fir, showed us the notable difference. For example, ‘Bornyl Acetate’ compound in White Fir is 11.25 and in Siberian is 24.4
It’s recommended for topical, aromatic and internal use! WOW. (usually we don’t take fir oils internally!!) THIS ONE YOU CAN.
Aromatic:
Evokes feelings of relaxation and rest, helps reduce anxious feelings and reduce stress. Inhale to soothe dry airways (this is not to be taken lightly, this is powerful!)
Topically:
Apply to soothe skin irritations (rash, overstressed tissues, wound, bites, blemishes),
apply to calm overactive tissues and ease discomfort.
Internally:
Use 1-3 drops in a capsule to support body systems.
Application:
-Combine with a citrus oil for surface cleansing
-Use in combination with rosemary, eucalyptus, cypress for lime for clarifying aroma and respiratory
-Blend with melaleuca to eliminate blemishes and promote healthy skin
NAME: CO-PAI-BA $35 wholesale/$46 retail/35pv
SOURCE: South American Rain forest
PART OF PLANT: Resin
DISTILLING METHOD: Steam
CHEMICAL COMPONENT: CARYOPHYLLENE/SESQUITERPENE(long lasting)/CALMING carry-O-phy-lene
The primary chemical constituent of Copaiba essential oil is caryophyllene, a bicyclic sesquiterpene that is also found in Black Pepper. While caryophyllene is responsible for some of the bioactive properties of Copaiba, many other properties of the oil are attributed to diterpenes uniquely found in Copaiba. doTERRA’s has the industry’s highest level of caryophyllene at 60%.
BENEFIT:CALMING
SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Copaiba essential oil is calming, soothing, and supportive to the skin and nervous system. Recent research on caryophyllene suggests a number of other means by which Copaiba essential oil can support overall health. When taken internally, caryophyllene possesses strong antioxidant properties, promotes healthy cellular function, immune function while supporting overall circulatory health, and helps support the health of the gastrointestinal tract and colon.
Additional research has shown that Copaiba essential oil (with all its constituents) may help keep the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy looking. Topically applied Copaiba oil may also help keep the skin clean and clear while helping to reduce the appearance of blemishes. Another interesting experimental research study found that Copaiba taken internally may help to support uterine health and ease menstruation.

Topically:
Although this is not an oil that you can take internally, you can use Blue Tansy in a variety of ways both topically and aromatically.

You can also add it into your moisturizer to soothe your skin. Apply topically to soothe skin irritations, apply locally to calm overactive tissue and ease discomfort.
- Blue Tansy’s mellow and slightly fruity scent has specific uplifting properties that help create a positive atmosphere when diffused. Try creating your own blends! Oils that go well with Blue Tansy include Geranium, Clary Sage, Petitgrain, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Spearmint, and Ylang Ylang.
- Combine with Lavender and Fractionated Coconut Oil for a soothing massage after a long day. Other oils you can combine it with include Wintergreen, Cypress, or even AromaTouch®.
- Add six drops to your bath with one tablespoon Fractionated Coconut Oil and one cup Epsom salt for a calming and relaxing atmosphere. ***Notice that Blue Tansy can temporary tint your skin blue! USE AT NIGHT in case that color stays a bit! Consider diluting it by adding 1-2 drops of your lotion or moisturizer***
