Life has a way of bringing up emotions when we least expect them. A scent, a phrase, a certain place—suddenly, you’re overwhelmed, heart racing, body tense, mind spiraling. Triggers are real, and for those navigating PTSD, anxiety, or emotional wounds, they can feel all-consuming. But healing is possible. Through research-backed techniques, meditation, essential oils, and energy healing modalities like Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code, we can shift from reactive to resilient. Let’s explore the path to emotional freedom.
Quick Techniques for In-the-Moment Relief
When emotions rise suddenly, having a few quick techniques on hand can make all the difference. Here are five powerful strategies to help ground yourself in the moment:
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Exercise: Identify five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This brings awareness back to the present.
Box Breathing: Inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four, hold for four. Repeat until your body relaxes.
Butterfly Hug: Cross your arms over your chest and gently tap your shoulders in an alternating rhythm to activate the calming response.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Tense and release muscle groups from head to toe to release built-up tension.
Affirmation & Essential Oil Inhalation: Apply an essential oil like Adaptiv or Lavender to your palms, inhale deeply, and repeat a calming affirmation such as, “I am safe. I am grounded. I am in control.”
Research-Backed Strategies for Processing PTSD, Anxiety, and Triggers
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD and anxiety. Research shows that CBT helps reframe negative thought patterns, reducing fear responses to triggers (Watkins et al., 2018). By working through thoughts and emotions in a structured way, individuals gain control over their reactions and begin the healing process.
Somatic Experiencing Trauma isn’t just in the mind—it lives in the body. Somatic Experiencing (SE), developed by Peter Levine, focuses on releasing stored trauma through body awareness and movement. Studies show that SE significantly reduces PTSD symptoms by completing the body’s natural fight-or-flight response (Payne et al., 2015).
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) EMDR is a well-established therapy that helps individuals process trauma by engaging in bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories. Research confirms its effectiveness in reducing PTSD symptoms by changing how the brain stores traumatic experiences (Shapiro & Maxfield, 2019).
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Mindfulness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a science-backed way to reduce emotional distress. MBSR, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, has been shown to decrease symptoms of PTSD and anxiety by helping individuals stay present rather than being pulled into past trauma or future worries (Khusid & Vythilingam, 2016).
Journaling for Emotional Release Writing about trauma and emotions provides a safe outlet for expression. Studies reveal that expressive writing significantly reduces symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, aiding in emotional processing and cognitive restructuring (Pennebaker & Smyth, 2016).
Meditation is a powerful tool for calming the nervous system and reducing emotional reactivity. Breath-focused meditation, body scans, and guided visualizations help retrain the brain to respond differently to stress. Studies indicate that regular meditation lowers cortisol levels, reducing overall stress and improving emotional regulation (Goyal et al., 2014). If you’re feeling overwhelmed, try a simple grounding practice: inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four. Repeat until your body relaxes into the present moment.
Supporting Emotional Healing with doTERRA Essential Oils
Essential oils work on an emotional and physiological level, helping the body shift out of fight-or-flight mode. Some of the most supportive oils include:
Lavender: Known for its calming properties, lavender reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation (Koulivand et al., 2013).
Frankincense: Helps support deep emotional healing by grounding and stabilizing emotions.
Adaptiv Blend: Specifically designed to support mood and stress, Adaptiv aids in emotional resilience.
Shinrin Yoku Blend: Inspired by the Japanese practice of forest bathing, this oil creates a sense of peace and presence.
To use, apply diluted oils to pulse points, diffuse them in your space, or inhale deeply for immediate support.
Supporting Emotional Healing with Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code
Sometimes, our emotional triggers stem from trapped emotions, energy imbalances, or limiting beliefs. The Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code are energy healing techniques that help identify and release these underlying blocks.
Emotion Code: Releases trapped emotions stored in the body that contribute to triggers and anxiety.
Body Code: Balances the body’s energy systems, addressing physical, emotional, and energetic misalignments.
Belief Code: Rewires limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in fear, self-doubt, or emotional distress.
Through muscle testing and intention-based release, these methods help bring the body and mind back into alignment, allowing for deep emotional healing.
Final Thoughts
Healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about rewriting your response to it. Whether through scientifically backed therapies, meditation, essential oils, or energy healing techniques, you have the power to reclaim peace. If you’re ready to take the next step in emotional healing, let’s connect. Schedule a session and experience firsthand how deep transformation is possible.

Emotions are the language of our inner world, a bridge between our thoughts and physical experiences. They guide us, teach us, and—if we listen closely—can unlock a profound sense of healing and transformation. Yet, too often, we suppress, ignore, or misunderstand our emotions, leading to stress, disconnection, and even physical discomfort. What if we could change that narrative? What if unlocking our emotions meant unlocking our full potential?

The Science Behind Emotions
Research in psychology and neuroscience confirms that emotions are deeply connected to both our mental and physical well-being. Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a leading researcher in affective science, explains that emotions are not hardwired reactions but rather constructed experiences influenced by past events, environment, and even physiological states (Barrett, 2017). This means we have more control over our emotional experiences than we might believe.
Chronic stress and unresolved emotional patterns have been linked to physiological ailments such as cardiovascular disease, weakened immune function, and digestive disorders (Sapolsky, 2004). Conversely, emotional awareness and regulation can improve overall well-being, fostering resilience and healthier relationships (Gross & John, 2003). By learning to recognize, process, and release our emotions, we allow ourselves to live in greater harmony with our bodies and minds.
Emotional Healing: Releasing What No Longer Serves You
The process of emotional healing is about acknowledging past experiences, understanding their impact, and allowing ourselves to move forward. According to Discover Healing, emotional imbalances often stem from trapped emotions—energetic imprints from past experiences that, if unaddressed, can contribute to emotional distress and physical discomfort. Techniques such as the Emotion Code, meditation, and mindfulness practices help release these stored emotions, allowing for renewed energy and clarity.
One key to emotional healing is self-awareness. By tuning in to how we feel and why, we begin to break free from automatic responses and unconscious emotional loops. Journaling, affirmations, and guided breathwork are simple yet powerful ways to cultivate emotional awareness and healing.
Essential oils can be profound allies in emotional wellness. Their aromatic compounds interact with the limbic system—the part of the brain that processes emotions—helping to shift emotional states and promote balance (doTERRA, 2016).
For Stress & Anxiety: Lavender and Bergamot help calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.
For Sadness & Grief: Citrus oils like Wild Orange and Lemon uplift and energize the spirit.
For Anger & Frustration: Frankincense and Roman Chamomile support grounding and emotional release.
For Confidence & Motivation: Peppermint and Rosemary invigorate the senses and promote clarity.
For Emotional Release & Healing: doTERRA’s Console Blend is formulated to soothe the heart and encourage peace.
By integrating essential oils into our daily rituals—through diffusion, topical application, or mindful inhalation—we create a supportive environment for emotional transformation.

Have you ever stopped to think about the hidden toxins in your home? They’re sneaky, lurking in places you wouldn’t expect—your cleaning products, personal care items, and even the air you breathe. We often associate toxins with industrial waste or pollution, but the truth is, many of the chemicals we interact with daily are found right inside our homes. The good news? You have the power to reduce your toxic load with simple, effective swaps that support long-term wellness.
What Is Toxic Load?
Toxic load refers to the accumulation of harmful substances in the body over time. These substances come from environmental exposures, including synthetic chemicals in household cleaners, artificial fragrances, plastics, and even personal care products. Research shows that prolonged exposure to these toxins may contribute to various health concerns, including endocrine disruption, respiratory issues, and immune system imbalances (Wang et al., 2021).
The Hidden Toxins in Your Home
You might be unknowingly inviting toxins into your home through everyday products. Here are four surprising sources of hidden toxins (doTERRA, 2024):
Air Fresheners and Candles – Many conventional air fresheners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can contribute to indoor air pollution and respiratory irritation.
Cleaning Products – Harsh chemical cleaners often contain ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates, which have been linked to skin irritation and hormone disruption.
Personal Care Items – Synthetic fragrances and parabens in lotions, shampoos, and deodorants can interfere with your body’s natural processes.
Plastics and Cookware – BPA and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics can leach into food and water, affecting hormone balance.
Natural Solutions for a Cleaner, Healthier Home
Reducing toxic load doesn’t have to be overwhelming. A great place to start is by switching to natural alternatives that work just as effectively—without the harmful side effects.
1. Clean with Confidence: On Guard & abode
doTERRA’s On Guard and abode product lines offer powerful plant-based alternatives to conventional cleaning products. The On Guard Cleaner Concentrate harnesses the power of CPTG® essential oils to effectively clean surfaces without toxic residues. Complement this with the abode Surface Cleaner Concentrate, which uses biodegradable ingredients to break down grease and grime safely. For a complete home-cleaning solution, the abode Dish Soap, Laundry Detergent, and Hand Wash provide a non-toxic, effective way to maintain a clean home while reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals.
2. Revamp Your Personal Care Routine
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and what you put on it matters. Swapping out conventional personal care products for doTERRA’s Personal Care line is a simple way to reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals. The doTERRA Shampoo and Conditioner are free from sulfates and parabens, while the doTERRA Natural Deodorant provides long-lasting freshness without aluminum or artificial fragrances.
3. Purify Your Air Naturally
Instead of synthetic air fresheners, diffuse pure essential oils like doTERRA Purify, On Guard, or the Aroma Essentials Collection. These essential oils not only provide a fresh, uplifting aroma but also help support a healthy environment.
The Aroma Essentials Collection includes doTERRA powerhouse products to help you freshen the air in your home, while also providing refreshing, invigorating, and lovely aromas. With this collection, you can create a fresh, clean environment that smells incredible—straight from nature.
4. Swap Plastic for Glass and Stainless Steel
Reduce your exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals by using glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic. Additionally, consider replacing non-stick cookware with ceramic or cast iron options.
The Science Behind Reducing Toxic Load
Studies show that reducing exposure to environmental toxins can have measurable health benefits. A study by Sathyanarayana et al. (2019) found that participants who switched to organic personal care products had significantly lower levels of phthalates and parabens in their system after just three days. Another study highlighted the benefits of plant-based cleaners, showing a reduction in respiratory symptoms and improved indoor air quality (Mendell et al., 2020).
Final Thoughts: Small Steps, Big Impact
You don’t have to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight. Start small—swap out one toxic product for a natural alternative each week. By making intentional choices, you create a healthier space for yourself and your loved ones. Ready to take the next step? Explore doTERRA’s On Guard, abode, and Personal Care lines to start your journey toward a cleaner, toxin-free home.

Why It Works: Water is essential for flushing toxins from the body. Your kidneys filter waste from the blood and eliminate it through urine. Proper hydration helps maintain kidney function and prevent toxin buildup.
Scientific Backing:
Increased water intake improves kidney function and enhances the elimination of waste products such as urea and creatinine (Clark et al., 2019).
How to Apply It:
Aim to drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily.
Add lemon or a pinch of sea salt for added electrolytes and improved cellular hydration.
2. Eat More Fiber for Gut Health
Why It Works: Fiber binds to toxins and waste products in the digestive tract and promotes their removal through regular bowel movements. A high-fiber diet also supports beneficial gut bacteria, which play a role in metabolizing and eliminating toxins.
Scientific Backing:
Dietary fiber improves gut health, enhances microbial diversity, and reduces toxin absorption (Anderson et al., 2009).
How to Apply It:
Eat 30–40 grams of fiber daily from sources like chia seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains.
Include prebiotic-rich foods like garlic, onions, and bananas to nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
The FDA recommends consuming 25–38 grams of dietary fiber every day, depending on age, sex, and weight.* That’s a lot of raw vegetables and bowls of oatmeal!
Just one serving of doTERRA Fiber provides six grams of soluble and insoluble fiber, CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade® Lemon essential oil, natural vitamin C, and a unique prebiotic blend.
3. Sweating Through Exercise and Sauna Use
Why It Works: Sweating allows your body to expel toxins such as heavy metals, BPA, and phthalates through the skin. Exercise also stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries waste products away from tissues.
Scientific Backing:
Sweat contains heavy metals and other toxins, confirming that sweating aids detoxification (Genuis et al., 2011).
How to Apply It:
Engage in moderate-intensity workouts for 30–45 minutes 4–5 times per week.
Try a sauna session 1–2 times per week to promote deep sweating and relaxation.
Why It Works: During sleep, the brain’s glymphatic system becomes more active, clearing out waste products like beta-amyloid proteins that accumulate during waking hours.
Scientific Backing:
Sleep facilitates the clearance of metabolites from the brain, supporting neural health (Xie et al., 2013).
How to Apply It:
Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and create a restful environment.
5. Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods
Why It Works: Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting the body’s detoxification processes.
Scientific Backing:
Antioxidant-rich diets can enhance detoxification enzymes and reduce oxidative damage (Halliwell, 2012).
How to Apply It:
Consume foods high in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables.
Consider supplements like vitamin C and E after consulting with a healthcare provider.
6. Practice Deep Breathing Exercises
Why It Works: Deep breathing increases oxygen intake and promotes the release of carbon dioxide, aiding in the removal of waste products from the body.
Scientific Backing:
Controlled breathing techniques can enhance respiratory function and support detoxification (Jerath et al., 2006).
How to Apply It:
Practice deep breathing exercises for 5–10 minutes daily.
Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing or pranayama can be beneficial.
7. Epsom Salt Baths
Why It Works: Epsom salt baths are believed to soothe sore muscles and promote relaxation. However, scientific evidence supporting detoxification claims is limited.
Scientific Backing:
While Epsom salt baths are popular for muscle relaxation, there is no substantial scientific evidence confirming their effectiveness in removing toxins (Cleveland Clinic, 2022).
How to Apply It:
Add 2 cups of Epsom salt to a warm bath and soak for 15–20 minutes.
Ensure the water temperature is comfortable and stay hydrated.
How It Works: Zendocrine is a blend of essential oils (including tangerine, rosemary, geranium, and juniper berry) that supports the body’s natural detoxification pathways, especially the liver and kidneys.
Benefits: ✔️ Supports liver and kidney function ✔️ Helps eliminate unwanted substances from the body ✔️ Can be taken internally or applied topically
How to Use:
Add 1–2 drops to a glass of water daily.
Rub on the abdomen to support digestive and liver function.
How It Works: VMG+ is a whole food-based supplement providing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that support cellular function and energy production — crucial for detoxification. Its bioavailable formula ensures better nutrient absorption, helping your body effectively eliminate toxins and maintain overall health.
Benefits: ✔️ Supports cellular detox and metabolic health ✔️ Enhances nutrient absorption and energy levels ✔️ Improves immune function
How to Use:
Take as directed with meals for optimal nutrient absorption.
How It Works: Lemon oil is known for its cleansing properties and ability to support digestion and lymphatic function. It contains limonene, which helps dissolve toxins and supports liver detoxification.
Benefits: ✔️ Natural diuretic effect, promoting kidney health ✔️ Enhances bile production for improved fat digestion and toxin elimination ✔️ Antioxidant properties support cellular health
How to Use:
Diffuse for an uplifting aroma and cleansing effect.
Add 1–2 drops to a glass of warm water in the morning.
