Today, we're excited to have Dr. Jody Anderson talk to us about how to know

which essential oils you should be using in every circumstance. Hi, I'm Dr. Jody. I've been asked to

talk about how you figure out what oils to use for what. So I wanted to start by telling you how

this worked for me because it was kind of a long process.

I would give you a little insight into what goes on in my head.

I was introduced to Dutera a few years ago and I had heard that you could use things like lavender to help you sleep.

I used to work in the hospital a lot.

I never slept.

So I was very curious what the natural solutions were for sleep.

So just like any good patient, I googled it, which Dr. Google is full of information, and it occurred

to me that I was acting just like the people I took care of, and I didn't know what information

was valid or not where the evidence was.

So I read all this great stuff, and then I started looking at who wrote this? What

does it mean? Is it real? Does this really work? Is this a supply to all lavender oils?

What's special? And I felt totally overwhelmed. So in my scientific way, I then jumped to the other

extreme and I went to PubMed. And I started PubMed. PubMeding all of these different oils and then they went into the the latin names and i started

going down these rabbit holes and it became really confusing well all this while i actually had an account

with dutera and i could have gone to the website so i don't know if you've seen this, but there's a section called Discover Solutions.

It's under the Resources tab.

And that is now where I go to start.
