Spotlight: Nathan and Rebecca Bowles HEALTH & HAPPINESS Raising Our Family With Essential Oils Nathan and Rebecca Bowles live in Fleet, Hampshire, England. They have three daughters who are ages 7, 5, and 3. They have been involved with dōTERRA® for two years. How has dōTERRA helped you as a mum? Rebecca: I have three beautiful girls and I feel so empowered to be able to use dōTERRA essential oils to help them. I have been able to use these natural products to help support my girls with many of the lovely things children seem to get. Every time I use the oils on them, I feel so fulfilled as a mum knowing that the products help support their bodies in a gentle way. How does your family feel about the dōTERRA products? Nathan: I was very reluctant at first as I didn’t have a lot of belief in the powerful properties of essential oils. A couple months after Rebecca joined, I sustained a football injury and had occasional discomfort in my ankle. She offered me some of the Deep Blue® Rub to help with the discomfort. I was very impressed and now use the oils when needed. My favourite oil is still the Deep Blue! 16 / 2016 EUROPE LIVING MAGAZINE Rebecca: Sophia, Sienna and Isabelle love smelling the oils and we often sit down together going through them all. Many times at breakfast, they offer up their feet for me to put some of the dōTERRA On Guard® Protective Blend on them before going to school. My girls have recently started taking the dōTERRA a2z Chewables™ and IQ Mega®. These products seem to make a significant difference in their attention and ability to focus. My seven year old, Sophia, takes a sample bottle of Wild Orange to school with her and calls it her ‘happy oil’, so if she ever feels upset, she just smells her oil and feels better! What dōTERRA products do you use the most? Rebecca: I love to use Wild Orange and Peppermint every morning to help me get going for the day. I love the way it opens up my airways and helps to wake me up and stimulate my mind. I drink Lemon in my water throughout the day and diffuse dōTERRA On Guard most nights in my girls’ room while they are sleeping. In Rebecca’s Purse: • Peppermint • DigestZen • Deep Blue • Balance I daily use the Lifelong Vitality Pack and the Mito2Max®. I also use the dōTERRA Salon Essentials® Shampoo and Conditioner frequently. I love the Veráge™ Moisturizer and Immortelle Moisturizing Serum as it makes my skin really smooth and uplifts me at the same time. In addition, I use the dōTERRA toothpaste daily. I love using the natural cleaning products to help reduce the toxic load in my home. What is your favourite oil and how do you use it? Rebecca: My absolute favourite oil is dōTERRA Balance®. I use it for grounding, especially when I find my thoughts going all over the place or when I am feeing stressed. I really love the smell and the calming effect it has. What impact has dōTERRA had on your family? Nathan: dōTERRA has given us confidence that no matter where we are or the time of day, we always have these oils to turn to for both our physical and emotional needs.
