One of the very first problems I wanted to tackle with doTERRA essential oils was better sleep. When I hit pre-menopause, I didn't stay asleep! No problems going to sleep, but I would wake about 4-5 times per night. It was becoming exhausting. While attending my first doTERRA class, the teacher gave out 5ml samples of Wild Orange and told us to drink a drop in water before bed and even try rubbing it on the bottom of our feet which sounded nuts to me. I have since learned the bottom of the feet have the largest pores in the body, therefore the oils enter the bloodstream within 2 minutes and are in every cell in our body in 20 minutes! I did as she instructed and I realized after a few days, I was sleeping better.
I also decided to order the Balance blend, just because I loved the name of it and I have always struggled with maintaining balance in my life. I tend to be an "all or nothing" type personality. I began reading about it's benefits and wanted to try it to see if it would help "balance" me! The magic potion for me has turned out to be diffusing a mixture of Balance and Wild Orange at night and in addition I layer Balance and Wild Orange on the bottom of my feet. I knock out quickly and sleep soundly until morning.
Another plus I've found, I wake up naturally at the same time every day! No more jarring awake to the horrid sound of the alarm clock. It's like my body is regulating itself - balancing itself- and I wake up naturally after I've had enough rest.
