Living Gluten Free has challenges, many involve your body doing weird things from headaches to joint pain to gastro problems.
Recently I have seen how essential oils have helped me when my body goes weird from Gluten. Admittedly I was slow to believe that essential oils could help in any way. It took me 6 months to get to the point where I am buying and using essential oils.
Lets start at the beginning – what are essential oils?
“Essential Oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from plants (including their respective parts such as seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruit, etc.”
“Essential Oils embody the regenerating, protective, and immune-strengthening properties of plants.”
– Modern Essentials Usage Guide, Aroma Tools, 2014
Essential oil use methods:
- Topically – placed on the skin, hair, or nails
- Aromatic – inhaling the a fine mist of the oil or vapor
- Internal – consuming the oils
There are a ton of oils and each have different use methods, some can be used all 3 ways.
I’m a newbie to essential oils but here are some of the benefits I have personally experienced.
- Headaches – placing Peppermint Oil on my temples or rub a drop in my hand and take a few deep breaths, PastTense is a blended oil in a roller that I put on my temples and the back of my neck
- Sore muscle – Deep Blue is a blend that I have rubbed on my sore muscles after work outs to help speed up my recovery time
- Immune Support – Breathe is a blend that I rub a drop in my hand and take a few deep breaths, this helps open me up
- Digestive issues – DigestZen is a blend that I topically put on my abdomen to help calm my system. I have also put this on the bottom of Little B’s big toe when she had an upset tummy. I have also added a drop of Peppermint Oil to water to help my digestion
There are so many uses that I’m not even aware of yet, but these are the ones that convinced me they can help our family. To start down this journey I had a discussions with another Gluten Free blogger who uses a brand called doTerra. I understand there are a number of essential oil companies and options out there, please decide which one is best for you. I have decided to use the doTerra essential oils.

I have used peppermint oil for my tension headaches. It works wonders!! I also use lavender oil on pillows for sleep and use eucalyptus for my sinuses.
I would love more essential oils to try!!
i wanna try digestzen and immune boosting oils as I have an autoimmune disease.
I have never used oils but I definitely want to try now. I am hoping they can help with headaches and muscle cramps!
I would love to try the breathe.
Who wouldn’t want to try immortal oil? Lol
I would love to learn more how they can help my Celiac disease.
Love Melaleuca and would love to try Oregano oil.
I would love to try the breathe blend.
I LOVE essential oils! Peppermint is one of my favorites – I apply it topically on my stomach and drink it in water to give my workout a little boost!
I think Immune Support would be awesome for my entire family!
I am new to essential oils but have been doing some research on the different companies. I would love to try peppermint oil for my headaches and Deep Blue for my hubbies body aches. Thank you!
Sounds like a plan!
I would like to try the Peppermint and Lavender Oils.
Two of my favorites!
I want to try frankincense. I’ve heard so many good things from my mom about this oil. It helped a persistent skin issue she was having and may have reduced some inflammation to help her lose weight.
I dig frankincense! It has so many uses!
I want to try immunity and the digestion ones with my kid. My younger one doesn’t eat well and is below his BMI , wish to find something for him.
I want to try Deep Blue…sore and tight muscles are a constant issue for me and this oil sounds amazing!
The Deep Blue Rocks! My legs love it after a workout!
I’ve been to a few Doterra parties and have tried the On Guard myself, and gave a bottle to my father during his chemo/radiation treatment for esophageal cancer. Not one day of an upset stomach or sniffle during his 6 weeks of treatments! Love this stuff!:!!
So glad you found On Guard helpful! I’m using it daily now to avoid a fall cold.
i am starting to research essential oils and would love to start out with this
Let’s talk! What questions do you have?
I’m really interested in frankincense right now – it seems to be in so many of the different blends and so useful for so many different things. Wish it weren’t so expensive, though! 🙂
I love Frankincense! you can do so much with it!
Retail is $93 and wholesale is $69.75 so it is an expensive one – but it lasts for a while!
I don’t know enough to mention specific blends, but I would love to try something for relaxation and sleep.
I love Lavender for sleep! Goes great in a diffuser
I do use essential oils. I use them because they do work and have positive results at different degrees depending on the problem. I have never tried this brand. Essential oils are very expensive on my budget. I’m always willing to try free samples of other brands to compare. I have discovered different brand’s potencies can differ greatly.
I use peppermint for migraines, but would love to try others.
Would love to try peppermint!
I’d love to try the digestive one. I wonder if it would help with endometriosis also
