My Five Fave Essential Oils for Women’s Wellness (and a Giveaway!)

Wellness. It’s a hot topic these days and there are so many products on the market touted to be able to provide you with it. I believe when we choose to put substances ON our bodies, IN our bodies and AROUND us that are far removed from nature, we’re not giving ourselves what we need to achieve wellness…physically, emotionally or spiritually. This is one of the reasons why I choose doTERRA’s essential oils as one of the main tools in my wellness toolkit. They are pure extracts from plants that provide us with incredible therapeutic benefits. I could not imagine my life without them these days, they have completely transformed my health in so many ways! Many people who haven’t experienced these Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) essential oils before think that they are just “smelly hippy stuff” that you burn in an oil burner but they’re SO much more than that! You can use these oils to support ALL aspects of your health and wellbeing. So it was extremely hard for me to narrow it down to only five of my favourite essential oils for women but I managed it in the end! Let’s get started…

#1: ClaryCalm (Monthly Blend for Women)

This one is at the top of the list for very good reason – EVERY woman should have a bottle of this magical blend! It’s unique combination of essential oils provides powerful support to balance hormones and it helps ease cramps, hot flushes and emotional swings. Yep, it covers all bases, both physically and emotionally, for both PMS and menopausal symptoms. Every woman I know that is fortunate enough to now have this beautiful blend in their life is blown away by how well it works!

ClaryCalm comes in a handy 10ml roller bottle and contains Clary Sage, Lavender, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Fennel, Carrot Seed, Palmarosa and Vitex essential oils. This oil is not recommended for use during pregnancy (due to the Clary Sage essential oil) and frankly you wouldn’t be needing it then anyway!

#2: Balance (Grounding Blend)

This one runs a close second for it’s wonderful calming effects on the nervous system. I love to apply Balance when I need help with anxious feelings and nerves, and it’s gorgeous aroma makes a lovely natural toxin-free perfume (or “pure-fume” as some like to call it). This gorgeous oil blend does a whole lot more than just grounding though…it also promotes circulation and supports cellular health and overall wellbeing.

Balance contains fractionated coconut oil, Canadian Spruce leaf oil, Ho wood oil, Frankincense oil, Tanacetum oil, and Chamomilla Recutita Flower oil. This one can be used topically without dilution in a carrier oil as it already contains Fractionated Coconut oil.

#3: Salubelle (Anti-Aging Blend)

This incredible blend not only smells divine, it’s also extremely nourishing and rejuvenating for skin. It comes in a handy 10ml roller bottle and a little bit goes a long way…I simply dab the roller on my cheeks, forehead and chin before applying my moisturiser. The precious essential oils in this blend have been used throughout history for their beautifying benefits. They support the skin at a cellular level to help sustain a smoother, more radiant and youthful complexion. This blend reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles, and it helps reduce contributing factors to aging skin. It’s great for scars too…I have been using Salubelle on a scar on my arm where I had stitches and it has worked amazingly well to reduce its appearance in a short period of time!

Salubelle contains Frankincense, Hawaiian Sandalwood, Lavender, Myrrh, Helichrysum and Rose essential oils.

 

#4: DigestZen (Digestive Blend)

This wondrous blend comes everywhere with me! I have a pre-diluted roller in my handbag for rolling on sore tummies and a neat (undiluted) vial in my little doTERRA keychain for adding to water for any emergency digestive distress (I only use it in this way for adults). It’s fantastic for any kind of digestive issue from tummy bugs to overindulging to motion sickness, and it has saved me many a time! Many women I know have found relief from morning sickness by using this awesome blend either topically or even just inhaling from the bottle (always consult your treating health practitioner). DigestZen also aids in the digestion of foods and maintains a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

DigestZen contains a range of essential oils from plants that you may already know are good for digestion…Ginger, Peppermint, Caraway, Coriander, Anise, Tarragon and Fennel.

#5: Smart & Sassy (Metabolic Blend)

I love that I have a completely natural toxin-free option for supporting my health and fitness. Smart & Sassy is fantastic for promoting a healthy metabolism. It stimulates the endocrine (hormonal) system, helps manage hunger cravings, calms your stomach and helps purify and cleanse the body. It also promotes a positive mood! This blend is a great one for keeping you on track with your weight management goals by supporting you both physically and emotionally. I find it works really well for me when the mid-afternoon sugar cravings kick in!

Smart & Sassy contains Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger and Cinnamon essential oils. You can pop a couple of drops in your water bottle to sip on throughout the day, or in a glass of water at intervals throughout the day. Be sure to use a glass or stainless steel water bottle, as citrus oils break down plastic.
