🌿 This is why I LOVE continuing to learn about essential oils!

Have a look at this fascinating research shared by Dr Scott Johnson on Rosemary essential oil. 🔬

This was a preclinical study looking at fibromyalgia-like pain, and the findings around pain sensitivity and Rosemary were really interesting. I love seeing researchers continue to investigate these incredible plants and their natural constituents.

Rosemary is already one of my favourite versatile oils — I love using it for focus and concentration, hair and scalp care, and in muscle/massage blends. 🌿

What particularly caught my attention here was the discussion around limonene, one of the naturally occurring constituents researchers identified as potentially contributing to the observed effects. We also find limonene prominently in many of our beautiful citrus oils. 🍊🍋

Research like this always makes me think: what else are we still going to discover?

And when I already have Rosemary at home, it certainly gives me another reason to include it in some of the blends I’m using and see how my body responds. 💚

Do you have Rosemary? What do you use yours for?

A preclinical study found that administration of rosemary EO (composition not reported) significantly reduced several hallmarks of fibromyalgia-like pain, including sensitivity to touch, sensitivity to cold, and heightened pain responses. Although the ethanolic rosemary extract produced the strongest overall effects, the essential oil also demonstrated meaningful pain-relieving activity, and the researchers identified limonene as one of the constituents that likely contributed to these benefits. Hopefully research will continue to determine if, and how, this applies to humans with fibromyalgia.

“Aren’t essential oils just something that smells nice?”

This is probably the biggest misconception I hear.

Many people assume that all essential oils are the same—or that they’re simply fragrances used to make a room smell pleasant.

Science is one of the reasons I chose doTERRA nearly seven years ago. Long before I experienced the benefits personally, I wanted to know whether essential oils were actually backed by research.

A recent systematic review looked at 18 ICU (Intensive Care Unit) studies involving 1,236 critically ill patients. Researchers found that aromatherapy consistently helped improve:

✅ Anxiety
✅ Sleep quality
✅ Pain
✅ In some studies, heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory function

That doesn’t happen because something “smells nice.”

It happens because genuine essential oils contain hundreds of naturally occurring chemical constituents that interact with the body in measurable ways.

It’s important to note that this study looked at essential oils and aromatherapy in general—it was not conducted on one specific brand. However, it reminds us why quality, purity and proper testing matter. Not every bottle labelled “essential oil” is created equal.

Thank you, Scott A. Johnson , for continuing to share the latest research and helping bridge the gap between modern science and nature.

At Destiny Wellness, our passion is helping families understand how to use essential oils safely, confidently and based on evidence—not hype.

💬 Have you ever wondered what makes a pure essential oil different from a fragrance oil? I’d love to hear your thoughts below. 🌿💚

Day 23 – Frankincense & Emotional Grounding 🤍

Today I want to gently pause our 31 Days of Frankincense…
Not to teach.
Not to sell.
But to remind.

December is beautiful, but it can also be heavy.
The noise. The expectations. The rushing. The emotions that surface — joy, grief, pressure, exhaustion — often all at once.

Frankincense has always been known as the oil of peace, presence, and spiritual grounding.
It helps us come back to ourselves… and to what truly matters.

This morning I placed 1 drop of Frankincense over my heart, closed my eyes, and breathed.
And in that moment, everything slowed down.
The anxiety softened.
The noise faded.
And I remembered what this season is truly about.

✨ Try this today:
• 1 drop in your hands → breathe deeply
• Or apply over your heart or neck
• Sit quietly for 30 seconds

Let Frankincense support your emotions today.
Let it ground you.
Let it bring peace into your body and mind.

May you feel calm, present, and connected as we move into Christmas. 🤍
This oil truly ministers to the heart and soul.

🌿 Day 23 – and maybe the most important day of all.

✨ Frankincense & Myrrh – More Than a Christmas Story ✨

Frankincense = Wierook
Myrrh = Mirre

More than 6 years ago, dōTERRA crossed my path, and one of the biggest mind-shifts for me was learning what Frankincense and Myrrh truly are.

Like many people, I thought essential oils were just about nice smells. But when I discovered the depth, history, and purpose behind these two oils, I was completely blown away.

Even in biblical times, the wise men knew something powerful. They brought Frankincense and Myrrh, gifts considered fit for a King. These oils were so valuable that their worth was measured against gold.

Today, these same oils form part of our daily healthcare routines, supporting healthy cells, emotional wellbeing, and so much more. What was once reserved for royalty is now something we can use intentionally in our homes every day.

🤍 How old were you when you discovered that two of the gifts brought to Jesus were essential oils?

Every December my heart is extra grateful because dōTERRA honours this legacy so beautifully:
✨ A 15ml Frankincense (worth ±R1495) is gifted FREE with a qualifying purchase
✨ Myrrh is also 10% off this December

Ancient wisdom. Modern wellness.
If you’ve ever been curious about Frankincense or Myrrh, message me — I’d love to share more 🤍
