Balance is probably the one oil I couldn't live without (or maybe 2 or 3, or 4🀣)

I use it at least twice every single day.

β˜€οΈ Morning: one drop around my throat and down my spine. It's become as automatic as brushing my teeth.

πŸŒ™ After dinner: onto the soles of my feet. It's my little signal to my body that the day is done. Time to slow down, relax, and help support my natural circadian rhythm.

Here's something many people don't know...

The oils in every doTERRA blend are listed in order of how much is in the bottle. So the first two oils in Balance are there for a reason.

🌲 Spruce is the very first ingredient. Rich in alpha-pinene, it has been shown to help calm the nervous system through the brain's smell and emotion centres (the olfactory-limbic pathway). Traditionally used by Native Americans, I find it helps clear the mental fog and brings me back to centre when life gets busy.

πŸ•ŠοΈ Ho Wood is the second ingredient, and it's incredibly rich in natural linalool (often over 90%). Linalool is well known for its calming effects on the central nervous system, helping to ease nervous tension, quiet a busy mind and create the perfect environment for restful sleep. I think that's one of the reasons Balance feels so... well... balancing.

Honestly...

I don't think Adheesh would survive without Balance. πŸ˜‰πŸ’š

Do you have one oil you reach for every single day?

I played pickleball this morning, then walked straight into the pool.

That cold water afterwards has become one of my favourite parts of the day. Standing there with my heart still racing, feeling wonderfully alive... that's when this photo happened.

What surprises me isn't that I'm still exercising.

It's that I'm 73 and I feel better than I ever expected to.

I'm not sure anyone told me this bit was coming.

So much of what you hear about getting older is what you'll lose. What slows down. What declines. What you simply have to accept.

Nobody talks nearly enough about what you can still gain.

The biggest shift for me was this...

Somewhere along the way, I stopped treating my body as a project to fix and started treating it as something I get to look after.

That changed everything.

Now it's pickleball (which I took up much later than I should have and am now completely obsessed with 😊), walking, strength training, cold water after exercise and making good sleep a priority.

None of it is about getting my younger body back.

It's about giving my future self every chance to still be moving, laughing and enjoying life twenty years from now.

That's the real investment.

Not one big decision.

Just hundreds of ordinary ones, repeated day after day.

πŸ’š Move.
πŸ’š Rest.
πŸ’š Eat well.
πŸ’š Laugh often.

The oils are part of that routine too, though they're certainly not the headline.

Lifelong Vitality with breakfast.

Balance before bed.

They didn't get me onto the court this morning. They're simply part of the routine.

Looking after your health isn't about trying to live forever. It's about feeling alive while you're here. πŸ’š

There's a rack of about forty oils on that bench.

And after twelve years, I still reach for the same six most days.

🍊 Wild Orange in the morning.

🌿 Balance before bed.

🌲 Cypress after pickleball.

πŸ’¨ Easy Air whenever the diffuser's going.

✨ Frankincense... obviously.

πŸ’š And Copaiba, which snuck into the rotation and never left.

Twelve years.

Six oils.

I've made peace with that.

When I first started, I thought I'd eventually use all of them equally.

I don't.

And that's okay.

Because wellness isn't about having more.

It's about finding the few things that quietly become part of your everyday life.

The habits you don't have to remember because they're simply what you do.

The other oils?

I still love them.

I still use them.

Just not every day.

Funny how often life works like that.

We spend so much time looking for the next thing...

when, more often than not, it's the thing we've been doing consistently all along.

Have you tried Copaiba Softgels? 🌿

Adheesh and I both take them every evening.

For us, they've become part of our bedtime routine, just like brushing our teeth.

Why at night?

Because while we're asleep, our bodies are incredibly busy. It's the time when we repair, recover and restore. We like to give our bodies as much support as we can during those hours.

One of Copaiba's key natural compounds is Ξ²-caryophyllene (BCP), which interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system. This system plays an important role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response, calming the nervous system and maintaining overall balance.

That's one of the reasons we take them before bed.

But there's another reason I love Copaiba...

Every essential oil has an emotional character, and Copaiba is often known as the Oil of Unveiling.

For me, it's an invitation to slow down and become aware of the thoughts and emotions I've been carrying around all day.

Sometimes it's guilt.

Sometimes it's self-criticism.

Sometimes it's simply the stories I tell myself that no longer serve me.

Copaiba reminds me to notice those thoughts with compassion, let them go, and move forward with a little more peace.

That's something I'm still learning.

And perhaps that's why I keep reaching for it.

One of my favourite healthy habits is walking.

It's simple. It's free. It's my connection to nature. My wind down!

It's a great way to improve your overall health.

I never take it for granted!

Every food culture on earth worked out the same thing, completely independently.

In India it's a bowl of fennel seeds after a meal.
In Greece it's ouzo (anise).
In Denmark it's aquavit (caraway).
In Japan it's pickled ginger.
In Italy it's fresh fennel.
β˜• Across the Middle East it's cardamom in the coffee.

Different countries. Different traditions. Nobody compared notes. They all just landed on the same handful of aromatic seeds. For digestive relief.

Open a bottle of ZenGest and that's exactly what you're smelling.

Anise. Peppermint. Ginger. Caraway. Coriander. Cardamom. Fennel.

Adheesh and I have used it for years... but we couldn't use it more differently.

His way? A drop diluted in carrier oil, massaged onto his tummy in a clockwise direction after a meal. He takes it very seriously. The slow circles, the concentrated look. It's become a bit of a running joke in our house πŸ˜‚

My favourite? Two drops in the diffuser after dinner while I'm tidying the kitchen. It fills the whole house with the most fresh, herbal aroma and somehow signals that the day is winding down.

And my other one? A drop in a glass of water. Sometimes before the meal, sometimes after. I've never worked out a rule for it, I just seem to know which one I want.

We own an unreasonable number of bottles and still can't agree.

And wherever we go, it comes with us. It's the one oil that never leaves our bag.

Thousands of years of food traditions, all pointing at the same little bottle.

❀️ THEN & NOW ❀️

The photo on the left was taken over 30 years ago.

The one on the right... a few years back, standing on stage together with doTERRA.

When I look at these two photos, I don't really see wrinkles or grey hair.

I see a lifetime.

Thousands of walks together.

Countless cups of tea for me, coffee for Adheesh, and thousands of conversations about life, dreams and what's next.

Some really hard seasons.

Some incredible adventures.

Big dreams.

Disappointments.

Lots of laughter.

And so much learning.

If there's one thing I've learnt over the years, it's this...

Growing older isn't something to fear.

It's something to be grateful for.

We've worked hard to look after our health because we want to keep doing the things we love for as long as we possibly can.

Travelling.

Walking on the beach.

Playing pickleball.

Helping others.

Learning.

Standing on stage together and sharing what we've learnt.

Life certainly hasn't gone exactly as we imagined all those years ago...

But in so many ways, it's turned out even better.

I'm so grateful we've been able to grow together, support each other through every season, and continue building a life that we're excited to wake up to each day.

πŸ’™ When life feels a little overwhelming... which oil do you reach for first?

There are so many supportive oils that can help create a sense of calm.

Some people love the grounding aroma of Balance. Others swear by Vetiver before bed. For some it's Lavender Peace (Serenity), Adaptiv, Bergamot or Ylang Ylang.

The wonderful thing is... there's no right answer. We're all different.

🌿 So I'm curious... which one do you reach for first, and why?

πŸ₯΅ Hot flushes... I remember those well.

If you've been through perimenopause or menopause, you'll probably know exactly what I'm talking about.

That sudden wave of heat.
The flushed cheeks.
Looking for the nearest fan... or opening the freezer door for a few seconds! πŸ˜„

Many women notice that spicy food, alcohol, coffee or stress can trigger a hot flush.

For me, it was usually stress and spicy food.

This was the little roller blend I always kept close by.

I loved the refreshing, cooling sensation from the Peppermint, and Clary Sage and Geranium became two of my favourite oils during that season of life.

Here's the blend I used:
🌿 10 drops Clary Sage
🌿 10 drops Geranium
πŸ‹ 5 drops Lemon
🌱 2 drops Peppermint (add a little more if you enjoy an extra cooling sensation)
πŸ₯₯ Top up with fractionated coconut oil.

I rolled it onto the back of my neck, along my spine, across my chest and onto my wrists, then took a slow, deep breath. I always loved that fresh cooling feeling from the Peppermint.

Everyone's menopause journey is different, but this little roller became one of my favourite companions through mine.

πŸ’• Did you have something you always reached for during menopause?
