Has anyone used essential oils (doTerra) to aid in scar healing or digestion? Just attended a presentation and it seems probable but want to hear 'expert' opinions. Thanks[emoji4]

I'm no expert, but I've been using dōTERRA for about 2 years.

Many of the oils have truly helped my mood (I'm pretty happy) but the lemon and orange are really uplifting.

The digest Zen was part of my cure for GERD. That and apple cider vinegar. I plan to use it again, I'm only 4 days out from my VSG so I want to be careful. They are very potent. I have used the DigestZen to ward off stomach viruses in my house too. Last year a nasty bug was going around my kids school. My daughter had a lead in he play and I was giving them one drop in a shot of Water. They'd have to hold their noses, but they got used to it and knew the routine. Well the play went off without a hitch and I stopped giving it to them...they were throwing up 3 days later! Who knows! Coincidence? I think it helped...I should have kept it going until it was out of the school.

Anyway, I've used the frankincense and lavander on my daughters scars (surgical) but it's hard to tell if it helped. She is growing so the scars change, plus they were old (5years plus).

But overall I love my oils. I diffuse with them, ingest, use topically and even use them in recipes.

The coconut oild oils is great that they have for local areas, but I highly recommend their little set with the three un scented lotions and the oils blends that come with them. Sooo nice on the skin.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
