Continuing with the theme that the happier we are in our daily lives, the healthier we are, I'd like to discuss 4 blends from doTERRA that are commonly referred to as the "Mood Oils."
These oils are Balance, Serenity, Citrus Bliss and Elevation.
While these oils are specifically blended with a desired result in mind and have a lot of science behind them, I am just going to tell you the practical applications that we use them for in our home.
Balance is a grounding blend. It really does just that and that alone has so many applications. Do you have a child that often has their mind and heart in the clouds? I do, he's sweet, but a bit out there. Thankfully he LOVES the fragrance of Balance and will wear it like cologne. It helps him to settle down and focus on what he needs to do. It brings balance literally to his thoughts. It is good for attention deficit and hyperactivity.
Balance is also great for stress, anxiety, and nervousness. Helping with actual electrical balance of the body, it can bring whole body relaxation. This in turn helps to bring about a healthier body by improving circulation, cellular health and even muscle and joint issues (these being greatly affected by stress and tension.)
Serenity is for all things that need calming. I use it when I want a "softer" smelling Lavender blend. I've even used it for allergic reactions when I was out of Lavender.
Serenity is great for the evening and before bedtime. Slowing your pace at this time and calming the mind, make for much better sleep and that helps everyone to feel better.
Serenity and Balance have commonly been used together, mostly applied to the bottoms of the feet, for an overall calming and balancing effect when someone is stressed and unable to relax. I have done this with my oldest child during finals time and she felt it did help her to calm down when she was working herself up over the tests and her grades.
Citrus Bliss is a smooth blend of citrus oils and vanilla absolute. It is uplifting and yet calming blend. Gentle mood uplifter and all around "Happy" fragrance.
Like my son, my daughter has her favorite and LOVES the fragrance of Citrus Bliss. She wears it like a perfume and claims it helps with body odor. This is not surprising as it is great for eliminating odors in the air when used as a room spray or diffused in a room. Also a good surface disinfecting spray.
Elevation is a pleasing, mellow floral blend. This blend is good for diffusing for depression, fatigue and anxiety. Also massage into neck, shoulders and back for anyone suffering from depression or stress. Also helps to combat jet lag.
I like to diffuse this on a spring or summer day when I'm home and just around the house doing whatever. It is a very joyful and uplifting fragrance.
Any of these blends can be used in massage or aromatically to help support an overall sense of well being.
Enjoy!
