Pumpkin Butter

Made with natural ingredients, pumpkin butter is a fall-flavored treat that is sure to please. This recipe combines the rich flavors of Ginger, Cinnamon, and Clove oils. All three oils have different benefits when taken internally: Cinnamon maintains the immune system, while Clove supports cardiovascular health, and Ginger assists the digestive system.*

Ingredients
1 29-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
⅔ cup coconut sugar (or substitute organic brown sugar)
¼ cup grade-A maple syrup
½ cup unsweetened apple juice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 toothpick Ginger oil
1 toothpick Cinnamon Bark oil
1 toothpick Clove oil

Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to combine.
Once mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust spices as desired.
Cool completely and use immediately, or store in a glass container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Add this delicious butter to scones, muffins, toast, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, and more.
Tips: As the butter thickens the boiling pumpkin mixture can easily splatter and burn. To help with this you can cover the sauce pan with a lid, propped open with a spoon to allow steam to escape, and wear long sleeves to protect your arms as you stir.

Using the dōTERRA Herbal Essential Oils

Image
dōTERRA essential oils come from all varieties of plants. From herbs to trees, we wanted to explore each category of oils and explain how to use that group of oils. Though there are similarities between individual oils within groups, each oil is also unique. For this post, we will be discussing how to use all of the oils that are derived from herbs. (Keep an eye out for future posts with information on using the Spice, Wood, Citrus, and Floral oils.)



First, please note that herbs are a separate category from spices. Herbs (according to the Farmers' Almanach) always comes from the leafy green part of a low-growing plant, while a spice comes from the root, stem, seed, fruit, flower, or bark of the plant. This leaves 🍃 Basil, Cilantro, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Melissa, Oregano, Patchouli, Peppermint, Rosemary, Spearmint, and Thyme in the herb category. More on our spice essential oils next week.

We’ll start with the similarities: all 12 oils in this category are distilled using steam d…

Summer Essential Oil Safety

The summer months are the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with your family and friends. We know that many of you will be hitting the pool, enjoying family barbecues, or spending time in the camping or at the beach. We want to ensure that you and your family stay safe this summer, and are also able to use your essential oils in the most effective ways possible.



General Oil Safety Always check the label on your dōTERRA Essential Oil/Blend bottle.
Each essential oil has specific directions for use. Look at the labels and follow direction closely, especially if you are trying oils for the first time. Many oils need to be diluted with a carrier oil. For application convenience, many of dōTERRA’s most popular oils are pre-diluted with a carrier oil as part of our Touch line. The Peppermint touch roller is a summer favorite for many because of its cooling effects on the skin. When applying to your face, avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or ears.
