How does the Limbic System actually works? Well, let’s dive in!

As a person inhales an essential oil, the molecules of the oil go into the back of each nostril to the epithelium patch where the molecules attach to receptors on the cilia hairs. These convert to nerves that send the odor information to the olfactory bulb in the brain. This bulb communicates directly with the amygdala, hippocampus, and other brain structures.

Still with me? 🙃🙃🙃 Good! Getting to the good stuff - promise!

The amygdala is the center for emotions in the limbic system and it links our sense of smell to our ability to learn emotionally. (Hello👋 EMOTIONAL BRAIN)

The capacity to link information and emotions is why essential oils are such a powerful partner in creating and maintaining emotional health.

This is EXACTLY why smells will trigger memories more than seeing an image, tasting food, or even listening to music!

☀️Some of our most popular oils to start to anchor your emotional brain are citrus oils, as they provoke happy, uplifting, and supportive emotions in most people.

What is your favorite citrus oil to grab and inhale?

Essential oils contain massive concentrations of powerful plant chemicals and can stimulate the subconscious with their scents bringing feelings of alertness, happiness, calm, relaxation, or sleepiness.

💫 These aromas can elicit powerful physiologic, mental, and emotional responses.

By using aromatherapy to keep stress, tension, and sleeplessness at bay, we are able to give our overall health a boost.

Did you know that inhaling your essential oils is an exceptional way to support your emotional AND physical health? ...our bodies are SO incredible!

My go to diffuser blend recently has been Adaptive and Grapefruit.

Okay, so tell me...what is your favourite diffuser blend?

Chill out. We all need to do it from time to time. Too much recess time. Maybe too much sugar at school and now the kids are wound up and it’s time for homework or dinner.

🤩 Pop this in the diffuser:
2 drops Bergamot
2 drops Green Mandarin
2 drops Lavender
2 drops Lemongrass

Then take some deep breaths and everything will be zen before you know it!

What’s your favorite way to unwind and destress?

Hey Homeschooling families, 👏👏👏 we see you!

If you are a parent as well as the teacher, you may need a little extra somethin’ somethin’ and I’m not talking about a day at the spa!

👉 First, I would begin my day with Balance on the bottoms of my feet. I would probably pop a drop of Frankincense under my tongue around lunchtime. And then you can be sure I will be adding Adaptiv to some Epsom Salts after a hard day.

Do you homeschool? What would you recommend for other homeschooling families?

If you have a teenage boy here are some tips for the young man in your life.

Is there a stinky gym bag hanging out in your laundry room? Maybe some strange odors coming out of those sneakers in the hallway. 👉 Add a few drops of Purify to a cotton ball and drop them in thr sneakers or the gym bag. Let sit a few hours or overnight.

✅ For more stubborn stenches:

Add ½ cup rubbing alcohol along with 20 drops each of Tea Tree, Cypress, and Lemon oil to a spray bottle, shake and spray down your items.

How do you combat nasty odors in your home the natural way?

08/15/2021

Oh, the teenage years. I remember them well. Not the easiest time, but for sure a memorable time. 🙃

Here are a few tips/options I wish I had during my teenage years and I am sure my parents do too!

✅ Clary Calm (Monthly Blend for Women) is a must for any female in middle and high school. Use this blend to smooth out emotions during a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle as well as to ease any abdominal discomfort.

✅ Another great product to have on hand is the HD Clear line as so many young women may struggle with problem skin at an early age.

Do you have any other tips for teens? I’m sure we could all take any advice there is!

Sleep. 😴

Let's talk about one of the most important things in all of our lives! A good night’s rest is critical for success the following day.

👉 Some tips: Diffuse Lavender or Serenity as you wind down and do the bedtime routine. If you want to do a relaxing massage feel free to use the Calmer rollerball blend from the Kid’s Oil Collection as well. For older kiddos, Serenity softgels are also an option.

Does your family get enough quality sleep each night?

Hands down, the On Guard Hand Sanitizing Mist as well as the On Guard Hand Sanitizing Wipes are probably two of my most used dōTERRA products of all time!

👉 They are both ideal for on the go situations, so throw one of each in your child’s backpack and they are all set!

The sanitizing mist can be spritzed on hands to keep them clean and the wipes can be used when soap and water are not available and (BONUS!) they are biodegradable.

Did you know these 2 products will kill 99% of germs? With everything kids seem to bring home with them, that is a statistic I can get behind.

🧐 What would you put in your kids backpack, the mist or wipes?

08/10/2021

There are so many great dōTERRA products that we can stock up on at this time of year and in my opinion, the Breathe Respiratory Drops are a must-have for sure. The Breathe drops are infused with select oils from the popular blend Breathe (Easy Air), and they provide quick relief and cooling benefits to help maintain easy breathing.

👏 For your older kiddos, pop a few drops in their backpack and they can use them to support mental clarity as well!

Advise them to pop one during a quiz or test and they will be breathing easy and thinking clearly in no time.

Do you love Breathe drops as much as I do?

Staying healthy is a goal that we all want to achieve, especially during the school year. Sometimes it seems impossible, but we have some of the best tools on hand to help us and our little ones.

I recommend making this blend and swiping the bottoms of everyone’s feet at least once per day as preventative support. You can use it more frequently if symptoms of illness creep in.

✅ In a 10 mL roller bottle combine:
10 drops Frankincense
10 drops Lemon
10 drops OnGuard
5 drops Oregano
10 drops Tea Tree
Top with a carrier oil, and apply morning and night.
*Dilute further for smaller children*

Do you have any tips to stay healthy during the school year? Let’s hear them!

Proper supplementation is the key to your health! That goes for children as well.

👉 dōTERRA has an a2z chewable multivitamin with a natural watermelon flavor developed to ensure that children are receiving all of the vitamins and minerals they need to grow big and strong!

👉 IQ Mega is another important supplement for children that contains omega-3s as well as essential nutrients DHA and EPA. These essential fatty acids are required for many key functions in the body including cell growth, immunity, brain development, muscle activity, and joint health.

These supplements together work to provide a foundation of wellness to maximize the health of your child!

🥰 What do you like most about these supplements?

When it comes to accidents, as parents and caregivers we want to be prepared. That’s why I always have a Correct-X and Lavender handy.

Both are so helpful for any cuts, scrapes or burns that children so often tend to be prone to.

🥺🥺🥺

Since we can’t send them to school in a bubble, get a little zipper pouch and put a tube of Correct-X, a roller bottle of diluted Lavender oil and band-aids and throw it in their backpack. They will be glad they have it when they need it! Talk about empowering our kids.

What else would you send in the pouch?
