doTERRA - Serenity Essential Oil Restful Blend - Promotes Relaxation and Restful Sleep Environment.

J’aime la senteur.

Before starting this I want to first make it clear that this is an honest and unsolicited review (as God is my witness). I suspect there is a lot of stuff out there that is "planted" by doTerra to promote their products. I should also say that I DEPLORE the whole marketing scheme of this company, which works similar to Amway and the like. All that being said, I wanted a high quality, soothing oil to help lull my little 4 year old daughter and 17 month old son. With the longer days, its getting harder to get them to settle down for bed. When I opened the bottle of Serenity for the first time, I was prepared to be "wowed," since I have heard from so many other reviews that this stuff smells sublime. I was a little let down when I first smelled it in the bottle. It seemed a touch harsh and quite cloying. Then I recalled that lavender is yucky out of the bottle, but nice once it mellows on the skin. So, I put a few drops on my hand and rubbed it over my neck and arms. I was pleasantly surprised to find the scent mellowed into a pretty and comforting fragrance. I didn't think it was the best smell ever, but it was nice. What happened next, I did not expect. About ten minutes after applying Serenity, I had a "whoosh" sensation and felt a touch lightheaded or floaty. I sat down. I felt a pleasant sensation like the very first glow when drinking a glass of wine. This was a little disconcerting since I am in recovery. How ironic would it be to relapse from a product named Serenity (LOL)?! Fortunately, this didn't evolve into euphoria. I just felt calm and well, serene. After this, my little son climbed into my arms and fell fast asleep within about five minutes. This wouldn't be notable, except he had already napped earlier in the day. It's fairly unusual for him to take a second nap. Son slept for about an hour. I felt serene and cheerful for several hours. Later, when it was my daughtes's bedtime, I put a drop of Serenity in a tablespoon of almond oil and gave her a hand and foot rub. She didn't fall asleep terribly fast, but she slept in later than usual. I am intrigued by the results. I am not a typical new ager, and it is hard to understand what exactly the mechanism of action is with this product. All I can say is that it does bring a sense of serenity. Weird but true...I am proceding with a bit of caution: though it is "natural" it is remarkably efficacious.

Love it!!!! It helps me sleep better at night.

I cannot get over just how well this product works. I have never been a good sleeper and been highly reliant on sleeping pills on and off for years. With this oil, I need absolutely no medicine to sleep all night. I am so grateful for this product. I'd recommend it again and again. I put it on the bottoms of my feet, my temples and pressure points. Two drops and I am out. Highly recommend.

Wonderful product! It lasts a long time. I enjoy using this in my diffuser in the evenings. It smells so soothing and helps me fall right to sleep.
