Rest & Restore

In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to rest and restore our bodies is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. doTERRA essential oils* offer a natural and effective way to support this process, providing a holistic approach to relaxation and rejuvenation.

One of the key benefits of doTERRA essential oils is their ability to promote restful sleep. Lavender, a popular doTERRA oil, is renowned for its calming properties. Diffusing lavender oil in your bedroom before bedtime can help create a serene environment, making it easier to fall asleep and enjoy deep, restorative rest. Another excellent option is doTERRA’s Serenity blend, which combines lavender with other soothing oils like cedarwood, ylang ylang, and Roman chamomile to enhance relaxation and improve sleep quality. For an all-in-one solution, the doTERRA Serenity Bedtime Kit includes Serenity oil, softgels, and a mist, perfect for a comprehensive nighttime routine or the the doTERRA Senerity Sleep System. Additionally, the doTERRA Serenity Stick + Valerian offers a convenient way to apply calming essential oils topically, promoting tranquility on the go.

Stress relief is another crucial aspect of rest and restoration, and doTERRA offers several oils that can help. The doTERRA Balance blend is designed to ground and stabilize emotions, providing a sense of calm during stressful times. By applying Balance to the wrists or neck, you can experience its grounding effects throughout the day.

Complementing the use of essential oils, Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in nature to restore the mind, body, and spirit. Spending time in a forested area, taking in the sights, sounds, and scents, can significantly reduce stress levels and promote overall well-being. The natural essential oils released by trees, called phytoncides, have been shown to boost immune function and reduce cortisol levels.

Meditation also plays a vital role in supporting rest and restoring the body. By practicing mindfulness and deep breathing, meditation can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality. Incorporating a few minutes of meditation into your daily routine can enhance the restorative effects of essential oils and nature immersion.

This Gratitude Mediation from Ronai Brumett is one of my favorites.

For those seeking physical restoration, doTERRA’s Deep Blue blend is a powerful ally. This blend of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, and other oils provides soothing relief to sore muscles and joints. Massaging Deep Blue into areas of tension after a workout or a long day can help ease discomfort and promote faster recovery.

Combining the practice of Forest Bathing with the use of doTERRA essential oils and meditation creates a synergy that enhances the body’s ability to rest and restore. Whether you need better sleep, stress relief, or physical recovery, these natural solutions offer a path to enhanced well-being and balance.

Create Your Own Essential Oil Blend

Sara Janssen, doTERRA Presidential Diamond in Texas taught me how to create my own blend. Listen to the complete podcast at How to Make Your Own Natural Perfume.

How To Make DIY Natural Essential Oil Perfume

The one thing about blending that you should know. Because, after all, you wouldn’t want to create a combination you detest? You don’t want to mix ingredients, add your priceless oils, and then decide later that you don’t want to use that on your skin. After that, you store it in a drawer. I’m going to tell you some easy strategies to make sure you love it every single time because you don’t want it to happen.

Base Notes, Middle Notes, and Top Notes in Perfume

Don’t over think this, just now that there are three types of notes: base, mid, and top. Additionally, the ratio is a little bit different so that, for example, 20 drops of patchouli and only one drop of bergamot won’t completely overpower the aroma. You should approach it with some consideration. But I don’t want any fear among you. Never be scared to give something new a try. to slightly alter things. If you mix to the ideal ratio and still don’t enjoy the smell, add anything to make it smell a little more like this oil. It’s not necessary to adhere to exactly. Still, I’ll give you some pointers.

I like to start by using the caps of the oils and want to blend and swirl them under my nose to figure out where to start. Then I start smell. 1 drop for those oils I don’t want to overpower the perfume, and up to 4 drops of the scent I most want to be stronger in a small glass bowl or container. The I mix them and put a dab on my wrist. I make notes of each step or test as I go so I can adjust. Remember it is going to smell different on you then in a diffuser or on someone else. Once I get it just right I create it to equal between 40-50 total drops then I put it in a 10 ml rollerbottle and top it off with carrier oil.

I like to use the stickers from https://oilsharingtools.com/. I write the number of drops of each oil on the sticker prior to placing it on the bottle. Then I cover the sticker with packing tape to keep them secured.

If you don’t know where to start, try using diffuser blend recipes to inspire you. I love using the doTERRA 100 diffuser blend idea e-book.
