Essential Oils for Mama and her Rascals
/If you are here and reading this, chances are you have a little rascal (or a few!) just like me, and I am so happy to connect with you! My name is Wilmarose Orlanes and I am a mama, wife, Wellness Advocate, Prop Stylist, and Creative Art Director in Los Angeles, CA.
I started incorporating essential oils into my life just before my daughter was born. I’ve been on my oil journey for about 6 years now, but it wasn’t until recently that my passion for natural wellness and essential oils inspired me to guide others on their wellness journey! As a Wellness Advocate, I love to share my knowledge and passion with others who want to learn about the benefits that essential oils can have on a family’s physical, mental, and emotional health.*
While I might have products like acetaminophen and ibuprofen in my medicine cabinet, I love to also have natural options to consider for my family. This is a way that I take control of my family’s health and well-being while also having a stronger handle on what I’m putting in and on my child’s body. I believe that being proactive rather than reactive about our health needs and concerns is important.
So, what exactly are essential oils? They are the super fuel of plants; they are oils extracted from different parts of plants like the bark, leaves, seeds, roots, etc. through methods like steam distillation or cold pressing. This allows the essential oils that are procured to be highly potent and concentrated. More than just a scent, every essential oil has a unique chemical makeup that can provide dozens of benefits for the body and mind. This is why we call them nature’s medicine cabinet!
There are 3 ways to use essential oils - aromatically, topically, and internally. As a mama, I find that the most accessible ways to start using oils with my family is aromatically with a diffuser and topically with roller bottles. I love that a diffuser allows everyone in the room to benefit from the aroma as well as the mood boosting and air cleansing effects. Depending on the oil, properties can include antimicrobial, antibacterial, analgesic (painkilling), antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory benefits. With roller bottles, people can directly take advantage of these properties and use oils to boost the immune system, treat aches and pains, promote circulation, and help alleviate skin ailments, etc.
When I think about the overall wellness of everyone in the family, I want to be clear that this includes you, mama. How many times have you fed your kids breakfast and lunch before realizing that you haven’t eaten a single meal yet yourself? How many baths have you drawn for them, before realizing you can’t remember the last time you washed your own hair? I truly believe that you can’t pour from an empty cup. It’s very important to make sure that we fill our cups by taking care of ourselves in small and in big ways. By incorporating the use of essential oils in your daily lifestyle (whether in a diffuser or easy-to-access roller bottles in your purse or kitchen drawer), you can easily experience their benefits together with your family. With custom roller bottles for mama and rascals, you can conveniently address your respective physical and emotional concerns without worrying that you are getting a side of toxins with your relief.
Now, when it comes to which type of essential oils I choose for my family, I specifically recommend and choose doTERRA essential oils due to the fact that they are certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) - the purest, safest and most tested oils in the world. doTERRA sources oils from all around the globe, in their natural habitat, working directly with farmers and giving back to the communities of these sourcing partners through their work and non-profit foundation. With 3rd party testing (each oil is tested over 50 times!) and a commitment to 100% transparency (each bottle is marked with a unique code to allow you to trace where the oil is from), doTERRA oils have proven to be the most potent and effective essential oils available.
One problem can be addressed by many different oils, and one oil can address many problems. As you become more comfortable with using essential oils, you will discover and create your own blends to meet your needs. With that being said, I wanted to provide you and your little rascals with some of my favorite blends that can be used in your diffuser or a roller bottle and hope that they help to fill your cup as you explore the option of natural wellness.
