When South Africa went into lockdown in 2020, my youngest daughter, Amelia, who was 12 at the time, began struggling with night-time anxiety. In the very early hours of the morning she’d call me to her bedroom, unable to fall back asleep unless I was beside her. It was tough watching her feel so unsettled with seemingly no other way to help her feel safe enough to sleep alone. A friend brought me a sample of dōTERRA’s lavender oil with a drop of frankincense to try, so I dabbed some on her wrists and temples before bed and waited to see what would happen. Amazingly, that night she slept through peacefully, with no trouble at all, but I still struggled to believe it could be because of just essential oils! I thought, if essential oils were really that effective, wouldn't everyone be using them? Good question, right? Amelia had been struggling for more than two weeks solid with her anxiety, waking up multiple times each night, but seemed to sleep through every night after I applied the oils. Surely, I thought, these could not be the same oils found at my local pharmacy? Turns out, I was right.

I chatted to my friend who'd brought me the sample and she told me besides sleep and stress there are dōTERRA oils for pretty much everything: from headaches, upset stomachs and allergies, to supporting healthy cholestrol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar and beyond BUT - and this is a big BUT - it can't just be any essential oil IF you want consistent results. She told me what was different about dōTERRA oils (you know that free class mentioned all over my site? That's where I shed light on the whole subject. You may have tried essential oils previously and got limited results - not all oils are created equal and I'd love to tell you more!)

I immediately purchased some oils and very soon, after access to proprietary oil resources through a South African dōTERRA team , my kids and I knew exactly which oils were for what, how to dilute them correctly, and we started using them regularly - both proactively and reactively - with amazing results!
