Essential oils can be a wonderful support for your moods - helping you find balance, peace and calm, ease stress, experience joy or simply uplift and give you energy. Here are four incredible blends that do just that.<\/em><\/p>\n

When most people join with doTERRA they (wisely) invest in a kit to get them started. I chose and adore the Home Essentials Kit. The problem is, once you start experiencing them, you will inevitably free fall down the rabbit hole of oils – in the best possible way! So my dilemma was, what to purchase next?!<\/p>\n

Thankfully I opted for the Mood Management Kit – and this is what I’m sharing more on today. It’s a quartet of oils blends designed to support your mood naturally, that just happen to smell divine, and can be used both aromatically and topically.<\/p>\n

I am extremely excited about this – as mood disorders are so prevalent in clinical practice. It is far more common than you would believe, for people to experience anxiety, irritability, fatigue and just that persistent feeling of flatness, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Essential oils, of course, are not a cure all, but they certainly do have a role to play in natural mood support. They have a very cool ability to interact with receptors in the olfactory system, sending signals to the limbic system in the brain, triggering release of feel good neurotransmitters.<\/p>\n

I think they are pretty impressive when combined with proper nutrition, stress management, a solid self-care practice, and regular exercise.<\/p>\n

I know you’re going to love these blends – let’s meet them now.<\/p>\n

From tense, stressed and scattered to balanced and tranquil.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of all the blends, this one speaks to me the most. I hit complete burn out in my previous career in advertising, because my life lacked balance and I was burning the candle at both ends, working long hours and pushing myself to succeed at something I just wasn’t passionate about. Sometimes my mind would be running on overdrive at night worrying about work, and I’d get up and take a painkiller to relax my muscles and sedate me enough to get to sleep. I wish I had the knowledge and tools I do now back then!<\/p>\n

Balance is known as doTERRA’s ‘grounding blend’, it combines five individual oils to create a woody, fresh, sweet and airy aroma. It is<\/em> like balance in a bottle. I can feel myself move from sympathetic dominance back to parasympathetic with just a few inhales.<\/p>\n

It promotes whole-body relaxation and a welcome sense of tranquillity. This is also a scent that the lads quite like – so it’s great to diffuse for the both of you at home after a full-on day at work. My man has even used it as a cologne before we go out – it is definitely a more masculine scent.<\/p>\n

Topically, you can apply to the pulse points on your wrists to ease feelings of anxiety, or to the soles of your feet to bring you back down to earth.<\/p>\n
