Fennel is one of Robert's favorite essential oils to cook with. This week on Recipes with Rob you will get to see one of his recipes using doTERRA's fennel essential oil. Today we want to point out the top three uses of this flavor packed essential oil.

Melaleuca oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree native to Australia. The Melaleuca tree has been used as a medicine by the aborigines for centuries. Now our modern technology allows us to harvest the powerful essence of this plant and bring it into your home.

Melaleuca (tea tree) is a great oil to help with keeping your scalp and skin oils at a normal level. We love having this oil in our home. It is one of the essential oils we use in our healing salve recipe. Here we have compiled the top three most popular uses of this essential oil.

Rosemary is my most used essential oil. It has such a vibrant savory smell and has so many benefits. Read on to learn about our top 3 favorite uses.


Use number one: Flavoring. I keep finding more and more dishes that call for Rosemary. This popular spice adds a savory flavor to your favorite dishes. Take your favorite recipe to the next level by substituting dried herbs with a drop of essential oils.

Use number two: Repel insects. It is a good thing that we humans love the scent of Rosemary as with all its many uses it also just smells nice to have it around. It is also good that bugs hate it. Diffuse it in your diffuser or add it to your perfumes and lotions to keep the little blighters at bay.

Use number three: Support healthy digestion. Rosemary is the first oil I used, and I first used it for this reason. Now I carry it with me always. I put it on before a meal I know might bring on indigestion or might make me gassy. Definitely a must before any trip to the fair.   

Please let me know what you think in the comments.
Be well! -Kayla
