The warm, woody aroma of the GROUNDING ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND creates a sense of calm and wellbeing.
doTERRA perfectly blends Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile with Fractionated Coconut Oil to offer an enticing fragrance that promotes tranquility and relaxation.
Spruce, one of the oils in the GROUNDING ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND, was used by Native Americans for health and spiritual reasons and is still used today to bring harmony to the mind and body.
Ho Wood, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile can ease anxious feelings, while Frankincense provides a grounding, balancing effect on emotions.

SCIENCE OF BALANCE ESSENTIAL OIL
Let’s take a look at why Balance works the way it does!
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS
Because Balance is a blend, each one of oils in the blend contains their own chemical constituent. But today, we will look at Blue Tansy’s Chemical Constituents!
The main chemical constituents in the Blue Tanzy are Chamazulene and Sabinene.
Chamazulene, a chemical component in Blue Tansy, provides the characteristic indigo color and is recognized for its skin-soothing benefits. At the same time, the main chemical component Sabinene helps diminish the appearance of blemishes. Uplifting to the mood, Blue Tansy provides a sweet aroma to fill any room and provides a calming atmosphere.
So Blue Tansy on its own is AMAZING, but adding it to Balance just makes it even better for your skin and for the calming effect!
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
Furthermore, the chemical constituents of Balance’s Oils give the essential oil the following properties:
– Cleansing, purifying, germ-destroying
– Reduces seasonal discomfort, seasonal threats
– Reduces feelings of self-doubt
– Restorative
– Antiinflammatory
This oil is definitely one that is great for calming your mind, body, and emotions!

SOURCING OF BALANCE ESSENTIAL OIL
Here’s a bit about where some of the oils that make doTERRA’s Balance comes from and how it’s created!
Balance is a combination of Spruce, Ho Wood, Blue Chamomile, Blue Tansy, Frankincense and Fractionated Coconut Oil. Blue Tansy comes from Morrocco and Frankincense from Somalia!
But today, we are going to focus on Blue Tansy sourcing!
doTERRA Blue Tansy essential oil is sourced in northern Morocco, where the subtropical climate and cooling ocean breezes create the perfect growing conditions for the plant.
doTERRA Blue Tansy is distilled from the flowers, leaves, and stems of the blue tansy plant, an aromatic Mediterranean plant in the daisy family with tiny flowers that grow in tight clusters. Surprisingly, the flowers are not blue but yellow. The oil’s rich blue color is due to its chamazulene content, which forms during the steam-distillation process. Chamazulene is relaxing and soothing to the skin. – doTERRA.com

SAFETY OF BALANCE ESSENTIAL OIL
Below are some thoughts to consider around safety for Balance.
Balance is an amazing oil for all ages.
WHO: It’s great for all ages, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and even dogs.
APPLICATION: Balance is actually already pre-diluted in fractionated coconut oil, so it’s safe to go straight on the skin. You can use it AROMATICALLY and TOPICALLY.
Like most essential oils, try to avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
DOSAGE: It depends.
Here are some recommended dilution guidelines (Age and Dosage Amount):
– Up to 3 Months: 1 Drop in 1 Tablespoon Carrier Oil
– Up to 24 Months: 3 Drops in 1 Tablespoon Carrier Oil
– 2-6 Years: 5 Drops in 1 Tablespoon Carrier Oil
– 6-15 Years: 1 Drop in 1 Teaspoon Carrier Oil
– 15 + Years: 5 Drops in 1 Teaspoon Carrier Oil
SHELF LIFE: Typical shelf life is roughly 4-5 years as well! You can look at the bottom of your doTERRA lavender bottle for the expiration date.
SAFETY PRECAUTION: However, be sure to keep OUT of the reach of children because even though it’s safe, we want to be careful they don’t OVEREXPOSE themselves to it. Also, if you are pregnant or under a doctor’s care, feel free to consult with them if you’re concerned.
Note – this information is just based on my understanding and is just for doTERRA’s Grounding Blend – you will need to do your research on other essential oils like this.

EMOTIONS BEHIND BALANCE ESSENTIAL OIL
I though in addition to talking about the basics, science, sourcing, safety, and uses of essential oils, I would also do a section on the emotional aspect of each oil!

THE OIL OF GROUNDING
SUMMARY:
“Grounding Blend is primarily a combination of tree oils and roots. Trees live in the present moment. They are no ti a hurry; they are stable. Grounding Blend’s soft energy is excellent for calming overactive children who have difficulty settling down. It is also a wonderful remedy for those who need to reconnect with their roots. Grounding BLend strengths a connection with the lower body and with the earth. These connections are especially important when the upper faculties have been overused due to excessive thinking, speaking or spiritual activity.

These individuals may avoid long-term commitments in work or relationships, preferring instead to drift.
