Nature guides us to transition inward during Autumn. Do you notice the way plants slow their pace of growth, or die completely, sending energy into the roots?
Just as I observe and anchor into the cycles and seasons in nature, I trust the wisdom the earth offers in my daily routines and seasonal rituals.
Essential oils are extracts from plants found in roots, seeds, flowers, and bark — with potent natural compounds that we can use aromatically, topically, or internally to support our health.
Just as the weather changes, the plant allies I work with during each season change. I'll share a few of the ones I reach for the most in the Autumn months as we transition to longer nights, supporting the respiratory system, skin, digestion, circulation, and anchoring emotional steadiness in the winds of change.
Autumn Season Plant Allies
Ginger
Frankincense
doTERRA's On Guard Blend: Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary
Ginger in smoothies, warm beverages, or water for digestion, warming the body, and circulation. Apply over the lower abdomen diluted in a carrier oil.
Cypress topically diluted in a carrier oil, massaging from the feet upward. This essential oil assists with circulation, and the process of change.
Frankincense inhaled and massaged into the feet before bed or inhale from hands to feel the grounded and rooted energy of your connection to the earth, just as the plants draw energy downward and into the roots.
doTERRA’s blend of wild orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary for immune system activation — not so much to “boost your defenses” or “protect yourself” from the outside — but with an intention of cooperating in resilience with the natural world. Despite some of the uncomfortable symptoms we may experience as a result of this communication, we’re designed to interact with life. How I enjoy working with this oil blend: diffusing into the air, taking a drop in water to soothe irritating sensations, making or using natural cleaning products and oral care.
Thank you for reading.
