I
was given the opportunity to try a natural product. As a frugal mom
and one that is trying to be more GREEN and natural in all ways of life
(besides recycling and composting), I am most excited about this
opportunity. Let me tell you why.
A
lot of my readers know I have a special needs child. My girlie is
diagnosed with Aspergers, ADHD and Anxiety. We have really been through
the ringer with doctors, though we now have wonderful health care
practitioners on our side and some great non stimulant medication that
seems to be helping with the day to day stressors of my daughter's life.
Let me tell you, it was a hard decision to put my daughter on meds as I
am one that hates using medication unless I really need to (yes I even was the
super mom that birthed her with out any drugs what so ever!) but she
needed to be able to live a semi "normal" life with semi "normal"
behaviors.
doTerra generously sent me a sample of their InTune Blend to try. The benefits of this essential oil is to:
* Help restore your focus and increase your ability to stay on task
* Promote your clarity of thought
* Increase your alertness and the centering of your thought processes
I
had to give this a try on my daughter. I consulted with the powers that
be to make sure that I would not harm my daughter with this oil, being
that she is already on medication and I was told that it was safe to do
so, and that if nothing else, it would help her even more with her
focus.
To
use InTune, you can either rub it on the back of the neck or on the
palms of your hands or bottoms of your feet. I chose to administer it
to the back of her neck as she hates her hands and feet being touched
and she loves a little massage!
As
this is a natural product, it does smell a bit odd, but that is because
it consists of Amyris, Patchouli, Frankincense, Lime, Ylang Ylang,
Sandalwood, & Roman Chamomile. It took my daughter a bit to get
used to the smell, but after 1 week she is a trooper!

I have heard that orange oil is the "happy Oil" but had forgotten that lol I am trying to get more into the essential oils. I think they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like that there are so many different scents and different uses for different oils
ReplyDeleteEssential oils have so many health benefits without the side-effects associated with prescription drugs. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they had oils that could help with things such as add and anxiety. my son has add and odd(oppositional defiant disorder) and he was on meds until the side effects out weighed the benefits. He is turning 13 tomorrow and his behavior is only getting worse and I would love to give this a try. even if I dont win this I will be looking into purchasing it. i am so glad you posted this :)
