🌼 Breathe in the Soothing Power of Aromatherapy for Hayfever Relief! 🌼

As the seasons change, so does the struggle with hayfever. But fear not, because nature has provided us with a beautiful solution: aromatherapy! 🌿✨

Hayfever can be a real challenge, with its sneezing, itchy eyes, and stuffy nose. But with the power of essential oils, we can find relief and embrace the beauty of the great outdoors once again.

Essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint have incredible properties that can help alleviate hayfever symptoms. Their natural anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties work wonders in soothing irritated nasal passages and reducing congestion.

Simply add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to a diffuser or create a DIY inhaler to carry with you wherever you go. Inhale deeply and let the aromatic molecules work their magic, providing you with a sense of calm and relief.

Not only does aromatherapy offer relief from hayfever symptoms, but it also uplifts your mood and promotes overall well-being. It's a win-win situation!

So, if you're tired of hayfever getting in the way of enjoying the beauty of nature, give aromatherapy a try. Embrace the power of essential oils and let them bring you the relief you deserve.

Share your favourite essential oils for hayfever relief in the comments below, and let's support each other on this journey to a sniffle-free season! 🌸💚

This awe-inspiring sunset fills my heart with tranquility and gratitude for the wonders that surround us. In moments like these, time seems to stand still, allowing us to appreciate the simple yet profound beauty that exists in the world. The serene colours blend seamlessly, the gentle breeze whispering through the trees, and the feeling of peace enveloping the atmosphere—it's a reminder to pause, breathe, and embrace the magic of the present moment. Let this stunning sunset serve as a gentle reminder to find beauty in the everyday. Take a moment to soak in the splendour of nature, to appreciate the little things that bring joy to our lives, and to be grateful for the world we inhabit. 🌅✨ 'sBeauty

This refreshing and harmonious blend of Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Red Mandarin, Green Mandarin, Lime, with a touch of Litsea, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla Absolute, is bliss in a bottle.

Diffuse Citrus Bliss at work, home or in the classroom to help create a cheerful atmosphere while cleansing and purifying the air.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and extremely potent.   Not only do they provide a rich aroma, but the chemical components in each oil also offer benefits.    Suppose you want to ensure your family isn't exposed to unnecessary toxins and chemicals daily. In that case, essential oils provide a safe, natural solution for keeping the home clean. Because essential oils are so potent, a few drops go a long way to provide serious cleaning power!    Citrus Bliss is versatile as it is super rich in limonene and makes a powerful antiseptic surface cleaner.     Add 4-5 drops per 500ml water in a spray bottle and apply to surfaces.

Motivation drives you towards a goal, gets you up in the morning, and keeps you working through a task. 

In my household, 5:30am starts requires some motivation to get out of bed and hit the pool for squad training!   Applying Motivate to pulse points before the class helps set a positive mindset, improve mood and boost confidence. 

Motivate is an absolutely beautiful citrus-minty blend of Peppermint Plant, Clementine Peel, Coriander Seed, Basil Herb, Yuzu Peel, Melissa Leaf, Rosemary Leaf, Vanilla Bean Absolute. 

Believe in yourself.  Ignite and activate your goals today and every day.

Sweetest Magnolia.   Steam distilled from the petals of this magnificent flower, Magnolia essential oil is lightly fruity and floral and helps promote a relaxed and serene space while nursing feelings of stress and anxiety. It is a genuinely nurturing oil as it uplifts the spirit. The roll-on oil is perfect as a new signature scent.

Like Lavender and Bergamot, Magnolia is high in linalool and has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.

My favourite application method with Magnolia and with most other nurturing oils is to apply the oil to my shoulders to ease any tension and tightness (often symptoms of anxiety and stress). Two swirls on each shoulder are more than enough if the oil is in a roll-on applicator—otherwise, one drop. Then, I massage the beautiful oil into my shoulders while practising breathing exercises.   I do this little ritual for myself every morning, which sets me up for the day ahead, feeling peaceful, grounded and calm.  

Ordering Magnolia is easy! You can place your order for this or any other high-quality, pure essential oils and products through my website www.mydoterra.com/carolarvanitis. In addition, you can get 25% off for all products if you opt-in as a Wholesale Customer or Wellness Advocate.

"Adrift in a warm and gentle sea of heavenly flowers, woods, herbs and spices". ~ Cleopatra

Aromatic bathing is a wonderful and luxurious way to unwind while also indulging your senses.
Just add 6 drops of your favourite essential oil to a warm bath, climb in and enjoy.

To relax, my favourite combination is 2 drops Sandalwood, 2 drops Lavender and 3 drops Marjoram 🧡

Sandalwood brings courage, helps to centre and stabilise our mind and emotions, balances adrenals and useful at times of exhaustion.

Lavender is gently sedating, nurturing, calming and soothing. It's very relaxing, cell rejuvenating and healing.

Marjoram (one of my most loved oils) is deeply relaxing and comforting. It is an excellent oil for sore muscles and tension.

Two beautiful essential oils guaranteed to make you yawn 🥱 and help you drift off to sleep and get the rest you need....Cedarwood essential oil triggers the release of serotonin in the brain which converts to melatonin.  This is exactly what's needed to help us relax 😌  and sleep. Clary Sage essential oil  has a powerful sedative effect.  It is also a well known nervine meaning that it reduces nervous tension held in your body.  

This magnificent combination will make you feel relaxed in an instant.

Combine 3 drops Cedarwood | 2 drops Clary Sage in your diffuser before bedtime 🌙

Sweet dreams 😴

Good morning everyone ☀️  it has been a very busy start to my week and I woke up this morning finding myself tired, anxious and lacking in the motivation I need to  keep me moving forward... and it's only Wednesday! 
A multitude of unpleasant feelings surfaced....pressure, overwhelm, guilt to name a few but as I have slowly learnt and am working hard to check in on myself regularly, pause, reflect and appreciate all the other emotions hiding within, I am overcome with gratitude when I delve deeper within and only recognise love.  Love and appreciation for my life, my journey, my family, my friends, my home and my space.  
A lesson for me was to overcome the negative feelings by acknowledging them head on, then experiencing and responding to gratitude.  Focusing on the very thing that erases my stress, overwhelm and anxiety and that is the love I have within.   It motivates and inspires me to live my best life.    
I  feel ready to get on with Wednesday and hope that if you have also woken up feeling less than great, please pause, reflect and acknowledge those feelings but look further inward till you find your spark, your light, your love and have a truly blessed day 🙏

💗 Carol

PURIFY cleansing blend is as powerful as it is versatile! Containing Lemon, Siberian Fir, Citronella, Lime, Tea Tree and Cilantro, I adore this blend for so many reasons. I use it as a powerful natural surface cleaner; diffuse it to improve air quality/eliminate allergens; I add it to my laundry AND I also diffuse this regularly in my work space to uplift and clear the mind. It can also be applied neatly to skin on any insect bites or stings to soothe the area ( I actually also add an additional drop of lavender too to the area for this purpose).

You can order online via www.mydoterra.com/carolarvanitis

Spring is so exciting! And what a beautiful day we've had in Canberra to start off this season! Returning to the garden is what makes my heart sing. Looking out for all those fresh flower buds and feeling the warm gentle wind on my skin. To welcome in Spring, I diffuse Roman Chamomile and Lavender. This combination is just so serene and is an excellent combo for allergy sufferers! 1 drop of each oil is all you need for therapeutic benefit.
Stay safe ❤ Carol

There is plenty of research showing the benefits of meditation to your health and wellbeing. Setting your intention for the day is empowering and starts your day on a positive note :) I always have Sandalwood close by, usually applying a drop to my palms to inhale its sweet aroma just before my morning meditation to ground me and really fill my heart with joy. It invokes tranquility and promotes profound relaxation.

My personal mantra is so important for me to acknowledge each day.  To motivate and to inspire me to achieve my goals.   What is your personal mantra?

When used in meditation, sandalwood essential oil has a powerful calming, grounding aroma that can help quiet the mind and assist in relaxation.

Enhance meditation and embrace peaceful silence by diffusing this beautiful blend in your space:

3 drops Hawaiian Sandalwood
3 drops Bergamot
2 drops Rose

This blend can also be used in combination with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil in a 10ml roller bottle. Apply mix to your pulse points in the morning, then as needed throughout the day to keep you focused, relaxed as well as smelling divine!

My precious... ❤

The melissa plant has one of the lowest yielding oils, which means it takes the most plant matter to produce a bottle of oil, making Melissa essential especially precious.

Melissa is a true gem in the essential oil family. This rare oil is extracted from the leaf of the melissa plant and is cherished by many for its large array of uses and benefits in home and personal care. Add to skin care or embrace its unique, calming fragrance with fresh, sweet, citrusy notes.

Medicinally, Melissa is an anti-inflammatory, antiviral, relaxant and hypotensive oil.
It is calming as well as uplifting. It removes emotional blocks and instills positivity.
