There is an Essential Oil for every season

by Kate Shum
have been a passionate DoTerra Aficionado for over 3 years now and I am constantly learning about different oils and their properties . I have a long list of favorites but I realized that Essential Oils have different purposes and seasons . From October until December I was all about OnGuard , Clove , Wild Orange , and Black Pepper but now that the festivities are over , I needed to move onto a more uplifting blend ; something that will make me want to wake up in the morning and conquer the world . Something that will scream 2021 here I come !
I was on a mission to find my perfect inspirational oil blend and after going through my sister ’ s “ DoTerra Magic Box ”, I found the most exquisite fragrance , Motivate . This heavenly Essential Oil is formulated with a blend of citrus and mint essential oils such as Peppermint Plant , Clementine Peel , Coriander Seed , Basil Herb , Yuzu Peel , Melissa Leaf , Rosemary Leaf , and Vanilla Bean Absolute . These oils come together to create a chemical profile that is high in monoterpenes alcohols , which contain uplifting and toning properties .
Motivate will definitely be my go-to oil to start my days ; when I apply it in the morning , I feel an indescribable surge of happiness and energy that can ’ t be fully described because it is something that must be experienced .
I encourage you to start your day with something that motivates your mind and senses . A good cup of joe , a hot comforting cup of tea , a yoga session or aromatherapy with essential oils are wonderful ideas to get you started in the right direction . Let ’ s make 2021 a Motivational Year ! n
