I actually wrote this in response to a question by someone else I know but the sentiment is the same. I am sorry to hear that your friend is having a hard time at the moment.

May I suggest that you proactively and intentionally use your oils. Create a protocol that is customised to you. Think about the oils that have helped you this far in your journey. How can you proactively use them to continue to support you moving forward. Think about what oils might help you during intense periods of stress or anxiety. What will you do and use when your anxiety is getting high?

Write yourself an action plan. Set your intent for your day.

Every day when I get up, I will shower then aromatically dress in emotionally grounding and uplifting oils - these oils for me are ###

When I apply the oils I will anchor the aroma with a positive affirmation. Perhap, I love and accept myself for how I am right now. Repeat it over and over as you apply the oils to your body.

When I feel overwhelmed, instead of reaching for things that do not serve me, I will place a drop of frankincense under my tongue. I will place frankincense and Peace reassuring blend on my hands and cup them close to my face and take deep, intentional breaths. I will repeat this affirmation. I am safe. I am strong. I have the power over how I respond to this situation. I am worthy. I am loved. I will respond with love for myself and those around me.

There are so many oils and affirmations that you could use in this type of customised protocol. Work out what works for you. And do it. Do it proactively every morning. Do it everytime you feel overwhelmed and want comfort in things that don't serve you. Stick to your plan. Repeat it. As often as needed to get you through.

Good luck. Big hug.

My anxiousness and sad/low feelings regimen:

Lifelong Vitality Supplements Every morning and night, no exceptions!

Every. Single. Morning and Every. Single. Night: Balance on your feet!! Leave it in your bedroom or bathroom where ever to remember to use it every day! (This is very preventative and helps to regulate mood throughout the day!)

Have a second one made up to bring to work and carry with you and where ever and re-apply whenever you can (can put on chest or wrists if can’t take shoes off!)

PEACE!! This is what I go to in-the-moment when anxiousness has hit in and I need to be calmed quickly! Put 2 drops in palms, rub palms together and cup over nose and take 5 deep breaths!! Then hold your hands on the back of your neck to have the oil soak in there to continue smelling it and getting benefits!

Serenity- put one drop on finger tip and massage between eye brows, on temples, and apply to tip of nose to slow down racing thoughts! I especially use this at night- diffusing in the 10 hour Lumos diffuser!! But throughout the day it is beneficial too if the day is tough!

Serenity soft gels- these contain L-Theanine which is a natural whole food supplement which studies have found can help with anxiety and depression in addition to an amazing line of oils to help calm! Take 1-2 before bed to slow racing mind and sleep well but having in your system each night should help the next day!! Taking these regularly can help to regulate your mood throughout the day as well! One softgel can also be taken during the day if having a particularly tough day or panicked feelings!

COPIABA is amazing for anxiousness!! 1-2 drops under the tongue every morning, and then as needed and it can be felt FAST for calming and soothing!! You can also get these pre-made in pills which is super convenient to have to use when needed!!

👆🏻👆🏻Those are mostly anxiousness.

These are more for the low feelings:

Diffuse elevation and/or apply all day long!! This is an amazing oil to combat low depressive feelings!

Citrus bliss with frankincense is an amazing combination for mood lifting and energizing while still remaining emotionally grounded! Amazing to diffuse each morning or at times when feeling down and anxious at the same time! (So again, both!) and just Citrus bliss is also amazing, I personally have had a lot of help with both!

10-20 drops Citrus bliss + 5 drops frankincense in a roller ball and apply to wrists throughout the day!

Or

10 drops citrus bliss + 20 drops Balance

The entire emotional aromatherapy line is designed to be used In-The-Moment! So, when a mood hits you’d like to dissipate, reach for the corresponding oil!! OR when you know your mood can be triggered use it before the negative emotion strikes!

FOR FASTER GROWING HAIR

A Conditioning mask for faster growing, shiny hair is VERY easy! Take your conditioner (the dōTERRA one is A-MAZE-ING) and use two to three times more than you normally would. Then add 5 drops of Rosemary, 3 drops of Clary Sage and 2 drops of geranium. Mix the oil with the conditioner and apply to your hair - making sure plenty has made contact with your scalp.

I leave mine in over night, but even 30 minuets will be beneficial.

You can also make up a pump (which is what I have done) to make it easier to access preprepared. I have done this 3 times over the last 11 days and the growth of my hair has been mind blowing, I swear I’ve gained an inch!!

Happy growing 🧖🏻‍♀️🧖🏻‍♀️🧖🏻‍♀️

ITOVI BODY SCANS
I’m excited to announce that I will soon be offering itovi scans. A one stop spot for your wellness needs.

💖HOW IT WORKS 💖

ELECTRICAL FREQUENCY

Every biological or non-biological thing has a unique energy signature that vibrates at certain frequencies. A frequency is the number of times a wave repeats itself within a second, called an oscillation. iTOVi has measured and recorded each unique frequency of essential oils and supplements for each product company. Through the electrodes on the iTOVi scanner, these frequencies are sent into the skin, inducing a measurable response from the body.

BIOIMPEDANCE

Bioimpedance is a technology commonly used to measure body composition through resistance to electrical frequencies. During an iTOVi scan the device passes small electrical currents through the skin to measure the body’s resistance to frequencies, each of which is the natural energy signature of various supplements and oils. The passing of electrical frequencies induces a measurable response from the body which is then recorded and shown in the iTOVi report.

THE BODY’S RESPONSE

Bioimpedance relies on the body’s autonomic nervous system in order to elicit reactions. The autonomic nervous system is the body’s central command center, connected to every other part of the body, and can be relied upon to give reactionary results. There are lots of ways to measure those results (i.e. blood pressure, blood flow, skin or body temperature, breathing patterns, eye dilation, sweat glands/skin moisture, etc.) One particular way to measure the reaction is the tissue will become more or less resistant to electrical current flow. Changes in temperature can also help us understand how the body reacts. During an iTOVi scan hundreds of frequencies are sent to the body, one at a time. The body has a unique reaction to each of these frequencies. As the body reacts to the electrical current flow, iTOVi measures these reactions.

ALGORITHM

The way iTOVi calculates the body’s reaction is highly accurate. It uses a complex algorithm to organize the data from the reactions. An algorithm is simply a set of mathematical equations. This process is often referred to as the translation process. The iTOVi algorithm translates what your body is communicating to you. While running one scan, the iTOVi scanner is actually running the algorithm several times to find the body’s true response.

REPORT

As the iTOVi scan runs, your body will naturally react to frequencies and the scanner will record these changes, identifying supplements and essential oils that match. As the scan ends, these frequencies are recorded, analyzed, and compiled into a personalized iTOVi report. Based on the information gathered during each session, the iTOVi App will recommend the oils or supplements to which your body had the strongest reactionary response. These recommendations are presented in your report, ordering each product by the strength of their reaction. Using the recommended oil or supplement will bring your body’s frequencies back to its optimal state.

SCAN RESULTS

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SCAN?

Those looking for supplement recommendations should scan once every 2-4 weeks. This gives users the opportunity to experience the maximum benefits from the products the scanner recommended. Once the user has taken the supplements for the recommended 2-4 week period, a follow-up scan can be conducted for an updated product recommendation report.

Some iTOVi customers like to incorporate a different oil each day, or an “oil of the day”. Users that do this may choose to scan more frequently to learn which oils are most beneficial at that specific time. iTOVi suggests individuals that fall under this category scan every 3-4 days. However, also iTOVi suggests that users incorporate the product recommendations for a longer period to see maximum benefits.

RELIABILITY

The iTOVi scanner is highly accurate at measuring and displaying reactions from your body. iTOVi’s algorithm follows frequency patterns it sees and takes an overall wellness snapshot at the time of the scan. The scanner determines which products from your company are best connected to those frequency patterns.

iTOVi measures the reactionary portion of the body, which changes at surprisingly quick speeds. Once the pattern from the scan is captured, the scanner makes intelligent, and personalized, product recommendations.

If you run a repeat scan within a short period of time, the technology takes into account your previous scans and recommendations. This is very important. As the scanner gathers more information about your body’s responses, the more intuitive the results become. Over time, past information influences the scan less and less, allowing the recommendations to be impacted by your current needs.

Get your spook on with these doTERRAfying diffuser blends.

15/10/2017

I am really excited about this single oil as it is already part of my normal routine as an ingredient in many dōTERRA® blends including Balance® and Deep Blue®!

Experimental research indicates that this oil is useful for helping to keep skin looking healthy due to chamazulene, the same chemical that gives the oil its characteristic deep indigo color.

Here are some FAVORITE uses of this wonderful oil…

1 - Blue Tansy can be great for your skin. We like adding it to our facial cleanser to help reduce the appearance of blemishes. You can also add it into your moisturizer for a soothing sensation.



2 - Blue Tansy’s mellow and slightly fruity scent has specific uplifting properties that help create a positive atmosphere when diffused. Try creating your own blends! Oils that go well with Blue Tansy include Geranium, Clary Sage, Petitgrain, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Spearmint, and Ylang Ylang.



3 - Using it as a natural dye and pleasant fragrance in place of soap colorant.



4 - Combine with Lavender and Fractionated Coconut Oil for a soothing massage after a long day. Other oils you can combine it with include Wintergreen, Cypress, or even AromaTouch®.



5 - Add six drops to your bath with one tablespoon Fractionated Coconut Oil and one cup Epsom salt for a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

Okay, I am excited to read your responses…

What is the #1 way you will use Blue Tansy?

Clogged, achy, sore… this is not how ears are supposed to feel! If you’re struggling with anything other than a ‘perfect’ ear, allow yourself temporary relief through this tested and proven essential oil protocol:

- Place 2 drops of Helichrysum on a cotton ball. Tear off, and place in ear.

- Massage 4 drops of Purify, AromaTouch, and FCO around ear and lymph nodes.

- Swipe some Lavender oil outside of the ear.

- Swallow 4 drops of Helichrysum in a veggie capsule.

- Apple a few drops of Frankincense oil along the spine.



Let me know how you feel after… I love happy stories!

Bath safety - how to disperse essential oils

An aromatherapy bath can be a very relaxing and therapeutic experience, and it is one of the most popular ways to use essential oils. However, it can very easily turn unpleasant if you don't follow one simple rule - disperse! Essential oils are not water soluble, and so pouring them directly into a bath will result in a film of undiluted essential oils sitting on top, waiting patiently for your tender flesh to enter the water. Because the oils are warmed up by the water, and also cannot evaporate, they often sting like crazy.

Many have made this mistake, as you can see in our adverse reaction reports. Unfortunately, some essential oil users try to dilute essential oils in substances that do not work as emulsifiers and will not disperse essential oils, as you can see in the case where a mother diluted some tangerine oil in full fat milk, resulting in a nasty reaction in her two daughters.

We partnered with Deborah Kallevig from www.unfussed.com to assemble a list of substances you either already have at home or can easily obtain, that can be efficiently used to disperse essential oils in your bath. We have highlighted those substances that have a false reputation for being suitable (full-fat milk, epsom salts etc.) with an explanation why they don't work. We want you to enjoy stress-less and safe baths!

Please note: the information below is based the assumption that each ingredient would be used ‘as is’ and not as a minor ingredient in a formulated product. Always bare in mind safety maximums for specific essential oils!
