Welcome!
You’re here because you’ve received a doTERRA package from me to experience the power of using essential oils for enhanced MENTAL WELLBEING.
We can’t talk about MENTAL WELLBEING without talking about our LIMBIC SYSTEM. And if you didn’t already know, essential oils are quickly absorbed by smell receptors that directly connect to one of the most powerful areas of the brain: the limbic system. Not sure how powerful our limbic system is? The limbic system affects our moods, emotions, heart rate, blood pressure, and memories... so, it's kind of a big deal! Which is why essential oils are so effective to balance your moods, increase your energy, and support your body on a deeper, cellular level.
I’m interested in supporting those who are ready to take responsibility for their health and lead their life, which is why I believe you’re here.
Let’s dive deeper:
about Adaptiv & Balance
Adaptiv:
The calming blend, because stress and pressure in our society can feel relentless. In preliminary studies, the scent of Lavender, a main ingredient of Adaptiv, has been found to contribute to an environment conducive to performing tasks requiring sustained attention. Lavender, Magnolia, Neroli, and Sweetgum provide stress-relieving effects while Wild Orange and Spearmint energize and uplift. Copaiba and Rosemary soothe anxious feelings to round out the calming blend. Whether you’re feeling fatigued or restless, indecisive or irritable, Adaptiv Calming Blend is part of the toolbox to help the body and mind to stay balanced.
Balance:
This blend is primarily a combination of tree oils and roots - spruce, rosewood, frankincense and blue tansy. It promotes tranquility, connectedness and well-being and has a powerful effect on the central nervous system. The energy of trees are in the present moment, they are stable, they are not in a hurry... it's this soft energy that helps us reconnect to our own roots and stay in the present moment. Balance helps calm emotions, lessen stress, and it has an amazing effect of bringing you out of your head and INTO your body.

usage instructions:
Our optimal health is naturally achieved through incremental daily habits, when it comes to our mental wellbeing, that could also look like seeking support, asking for help, and unapologetic, radical self-care. One of the ways I support my own mental wellbeing is by leaning on the support of these powerful blends - because our emotions can actually be rewired and relearned, and I believe in the power & wisdom of Mother Nature to heal ourselves.
I also believe in the power of intention. Lean on these tools and use them as a reminder to breathe deeply, repeat mantra to yourself if that feels supportive, to. The key is the intention behind the action. You’re more powerful than you know.
Because both of these blends I’m sharing with you are for topical or aromatic use, I’ve already diluted in them in a little base of coconut oil for you:
