6 Essential Oils for Your Emotions

I love talking about Emotions and I love talking about Oils. So today I wanted to put those 2 together and help you find emotional balance and harmony! We all could use a little bit more of that!  Our emotions can change from day to day, moment by moment, and even minute by minute.

If our emotions are out of whack everything is going to be out of whack right? Our actions will match the way that we feel, which like I have said in the past directly influences our results.

That means if we want to get the results we want in our life, then we need to keep those emotions in check. That isn’t always that easy…but fortunately we do have oils that can help us with that.

So what are the best oils for that?

Well, personally I use a number of oils, but I want to HIGHLY recommend the Emotional Aromatherapy Kit. It has these amazing blends of oils all in one cool kit.

So I just want you to take a look at the below image and it will TELL YOU EVERYTHING you need to know. If you don’t have this kit then you simply have to have it. Seriously!

They can be purchased as a kit or individually. They come in 5ml bottles or 10 ml pre-diluted Roll-Ons. See below.

Oils are amazing and I use them everyday! They are proprietary blends only found at dōTERRA!

Now it's really easy to use this chart, you simply find the emotion that you wish to feel less of and use the oil that is closest to that emotion. If your emotion falls between two oils, then you can use either of them or both. These six unique essential oil blends have been carefully formulated to provide targeted emotional health benefits. Each of them can be applied topically or diffused aromatically.

Here is a highlight of their uses:

dōTERRA Motivate: Promotes feelings of confidence, courage, and belief. Counteracts negative emotions of doubt, pessimism, and cynicism.

*Rub Motivate into your temples to set your focus for the day.

dōTERRA Cheer: Promotes feelings of optimism, cheerfulness, and happiness. Counteracts negative emotions of feeling down, blue, or low.

*A cheerful heart is good medicine. Rub Cheer over your heart.

dōTERRA Passion: Ignites feelings of excitement, passion, and joy. Counteracts negative feelings of boredom and disinterest.

*Apply Passion on your wrists to spark creativity, clarity, and wonder.

dōTERRA Forgive: Promotes feelings of contentment, relief, and patience. Counteracts negative emotions of anger and guilt.

*Rub Forgive over your heart to help forgive yourself and others.

dōTERRA Console: Promotes feelings of comfort and hope. Counteracts negative emotions of grief, sadness, and hopelessness.

*Relieve the weight of the world by massaging Console into your shoulders.

dōTERRA Peace: Promotes feelings of peace, reassurance, and contentment. Counteracts anxious and fearful emotions.

*Give yourself peace of mind by rubbing Peace into your temples.

They also come in 10 ml Roll-Ons for convenient topical application. They are pre-diluted with fractionated coconut oil for easy and gentle application.

It is really amazing how our bodies work. Whenever we have an emotion or mood change, it sends off a chemical response to our brain to decide what to do with it.  With the scientific molecular structure of essential oils, when applied topically or diffused aromatically, we can help our brain alter our mood in a more positive direction. It's the wonderful world of science working together! Let's use what nature has provided for us to help bring our well being back in balance.

So, as women we can have a stigma surrounding us of  "mood swings", P.M.S., "hormonal roller coaster", "drama queen", "high maintenance",  and the list can go on....... but we can fight back!!

Get your emotions under control with the help of essential oils and get your man wondering what has happened to his wife!!   LOL

I just got back from the Annual dōTERRA Convention. The theme was "ONE". One Matters! They don't focus on bragging about fancy lifestyles and expensive cars. They focus on how to give back to people and communities that they may have hope in this world. They focus on others, not on themselves, and their heart just beams with compassion.

Real quick- then I'll move onto the pampering! dōTERRA wants to make a difference in as many lives as possible. Their giving efforts and relief projects help thousands!

Essential Oils for Cats and Dogs🐾

Most people don't realize that pure essential oils can provide all-natural solutions for animals as well as humans! Your furry little babies that are part of your family can benefit from the benefits of essential oils too!

Did you know?

*Medication commonly used to treat painful arthritis in cats and dogs often causes serious damage to the stomach, liver, and kidneys.

*Common anti-flea solutions for dogs can cause adverse reactions such as skin irritation, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, and seizure.

*Most over -the- counter treatments contain chemicals and toxins that can cause more harm than good.

Tips:

*For joint pain relief, rub Frankincense and dōTERRA Deep Blue soothing blend essential oils directly on joints.

*Avoid using Melaleuca on cats.

*Animals are smaller, so diluting essential oils is important.

*To help calm and relax a stressed pet, apply 2-3 drops of Lavender essential oil to ears and paws.

*Animals prefer certain aromas just as humans do - you can experiment with various oils to see how your pet responds to the aroma and the benefit of the oil.

*Just like humans, do not place essential oil directly in ears, eyes, or nose.

Recipes:

Flea Collar Repellant

1/2 teaspoon rubbing alcohol

4 garlic oil capsules

1 drop Cedarwood essential oil

Back to School with Essential Oils!

Children are wonderfully responsive to the use of essential oils, love to learn about them and what they do. They are curious beings and love to help mom make their own special blends!

Use of the oils at bedtime with a diffuser or smelling oils from the bottle while at school can bring both peace and calming, also mental focus and concentration support. Oils supply a vast variety of emotional support!! The uses and benefits are endless! 

Happy Kid= Happy Mom and Teacher!

Safety First:)

Caution must be taken when researching solutions online. Most information available about aromatherapy reflects the assumption that the product used will contain synthetic ingredients. In the case of these altered products, warnings should be taken seriously. But when pure, unaltered, genuine essential oils are selected and used, a parent can treat their family with confidence!! I have access to these genuine essential oils and want to share them with you!!

The use of oils with children is most effective when oils are combined with a carrier oil and are massaged on back, abdomen or feet (NEAT-undiluted-application on feet with 1-2 drops depending on body weight is acceptable in older children; for infants and toddlers, dilute oils with a carrier oil prior to application in most cases.)

Avoid placing essential oils in the eyes, ears and nose. You can place essential oil on a cotton ball and place in the ear.

These oils are considered "hot or warm" oils and are suggested to be used with a carrier oil when applying: birch, cassia, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, ginger, lemongrass, oregano, peppermint, protective blend, thyme, and wintergreen

Recipes:

Good Morning Routine:

Wild Orange or Grounding Blend essential oil. Diffuse or put 1-2 drops on back of neck, wrists, or feet.

Focus Blend:

In a 5ml glass roller  bottle, mix 20 drops Wild Orange and Peppermint and fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil.

DIY Hand Sanitizer:

In a 4oz glass or high quality plastic spray bottle, mix 1 Tablespoon Aloe Vera gel and 20 drops of protection blend and fill the rest with water.

Boost Immunity/Healthy Brain & Body:

Protection blend!!!!!!!! Ward off those germs that are easily spread in the classroom!

Quality, whole-food vitamin and mineral supplement. 100% pure fish oil supplement with healthy balance of Omega 3 fatty acids. Contact me for details on these supplements and their nutritional facts that I suggest. No, sorry to break the news to you, but over- the- counter chewables aren't going to cut it! Many containing fillers, synthetics and dyes that are doing more harm than good!

Peaceful Child Blend: 

Great for hyperactivity, emotional imbalance, anxious feelings, behavior or cognitive struggles.

85 drops Vetiver

30 drops Ylang Ylang

30 drops Lavender

20 drops Lavender

15 drops Frankincense

15 drops Clary Sage

10 drops Marjoram

Place drops in a 10ml glass roller bottle and fill with fractionated coconut oil. Apply as needed to wrists, back of neck, along the spine or desired area on skin.

Grouchy Pants Blend:

3 drops grounding blend and 3 drops lavender and apply to the base of neck and on wrists, inhale deeply.

Seasonal/Enviromental Threats:

Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint: 25 drops of each in a 10ml glass roller bottle. Fill to top with fractionated coconut oil. Roll on bottom of feet 2-3 times per day.

Occasional Ear Discomfort:

Basil and Lavender- 1 drop of each on the bone behind the ear, several times per day. Or place Melaleuca on a cotton ball and place in ear, never place oil directly into the ear.

Sweet Dreams Blend:

In a glass 5ml roller bottle, add 20 drops of Lavender, 7 drops of Vetiver and fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil. Apply topically before bedtime.

Other great options for sleep:

Pick one or two to diffuse or apply to feet before bedtime: Lavender, Vetiver, Roman Chamomile, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram, Cedarwood, Sandlewood.

*Disclaimer: I do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. I do offer alternative solutions!

Have a Wonderful School Year!
