Antibiotics

How can doTERRA help my Dental office regarding antibiotics?

DoTERRA products can support the health of your antibiotic taking patients in 2 ways.

#1. Probiotics

       Antibiotics often have negative side effects associated with the loss of the "good bacteria" along with the "bad bacteria" in the body from antibiotic treatment. The most common of these side effects is diarrhea. One source indicates that diarrhea associated with antibiotics usage can be as common as 1 in 3 people. Taking probiotics along with your antibiotics can help prevent the loss of these good intestinal flora. One set back to this though is that about half of the organisms in the probiotic are killed in the stomach, never actually reaching the intestines.  DoTERRA carries a patented, highly effective, double capsule probiotic as one of it's unique wellness products. The difference is in the quality of the probiotic and the double capsule delivery system to ensure maximal benefit of the probiotic supplement.

For patients, these can be offered complimentary or for additional cost along with antibiotic prescriptions. A practice your patients will love! This being an obvious demonstration for your concern for their overall wellness, thus building trust in you and setting you apart.

#2. Oil of Oregano

       Some patients may want to also pair antibiotics usage with Oil of Oregano. Studies have begun exploring the pairing of Oil of Oregano with antibiotics in an effort to prevent drug resistance in bacteria.

Research

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25364204 - study involving the pairing of generally used antibiotics with oil of oregano (origanum vulgare) to combat drug resistance.
*Conclusion: This combination of drug therapy will not only prove effective in antibiotic resistance, but these natural constituents will also help in preventing body from harmful radicals which lead to fatal diseases.
