Hello!

I love the fact that essential oils provide a way to support each of our body's systems! So how do you support your Emotional System?  

Quality essential oils can support overall health and wellness, which will definitely help you keep emotions in balance. Additionally, some of the oils bring to mind comforting feelings of familiarity when we catch their scent.  Some essential oils are calming, and some are invigorating!  When I want to wake up or cheer up the family I might be found diffusing a citrus scent like tangerine essential oil!  

When it seems everyone is a bit on edge I may reach for Stress Away roll-on or make up a blend of comfort oils I am fond of.  Hey, people have "comfort foods" right! Why not comfort oils? Which is your favorite? Most folks are familiar with the scent of Lavender, Peppermint, Vanilla (which is one of the oils in Stress Away).  

I heard this advice and passed it on to my 18-year-old daughter who is headed back to college soon and tends to have trouble sleeping:  Get into the habit of using a certain essential oil or blend that you like at bedtime, making it part of your bedtime routine.  Then that familiar scent can help trigger sleep at times when you might otherwise have trouble getting to sleep.  (Good advice for parents to incorporate into bedtime routines with children, too.  But be careful to keep babies and toddlers safe as essential oils can be potent.  Always diffuse in a well-ventilated area -- keep the door open-- using less oil thereby making it more diluted, making sure there are no adverse reactions just as you would when introducing a new food).  We have a line of products specially formulated for children, so convenient!  Check out the Gentle Baby essential oil blend for babies and mamas, too!

Hello!

One way I am using essential oils is diffusing.  Not just today, but I like diffusing essential oils every day.  It is an easy way to do something nice and beneficial for my family that I can feel good about.  I favor Thieves oil blend but switch it up with another blend (like Purification) or add a single oil to the Thieves at times.  

I have a goal of having a Diffuser  in every room of the house but haven't quite made it yet!  The bedroom diffusers are great to put in a relaxing oil or blend to help with sleep at night or in the day when someone is in their room studying, working on a project or feeling under the weather.  I switch up the oils used according to the need or mood (or when I have run out of the favorites).  

Diffusing in the rest of the house is great to quickly get rid of off odors (ok, that goes for the bedrooms, too).  I believe it helps to purify the air giving the house a clean feel, and also helps lift or calm our moods.  

In addition to Thieves, I like to add Tangerine essential oil in the kitchen for a fresh pick me up.  In the bathrooms Thieves and Peppermint essential oil or Purification, another pure essential oil blend.  In the laundry room I like Thieves plus either Lavender or Clove (strong!) essential oils if it is REALLY  SMELLY!

One daughter likes Stress Away in the bedroom, as it contains Vanilla essential oil, one of her favorite scents.  Different family members have different likes when it comes to the essential oils they prefer.   We are still trying out different ones and will likely have some new faves discovered as we go!

Now, go find YOUR favorite essential oils!  It's fun!

Happy Oiling!
