Have you ever walked into Karrinyup Wellness Centre and wondered why it always smells so fresh and inviting? Or perhaps you’ve been curious about which doTERRA essential oils our practitioners and team enjoy using.
Essential oils have become part of our daily routine at Karrinyup Wellness Centre, with each member of our team enjoying them in their own way. From incorporating them into everyday rituals to using them around the home or in the centre, we all have our go-to blends. We asked a few of our team members to share the oils they reach for most often and why they love them.
Emma & Our Front Desk Team
Emma and the rest of our front desk team love diffusing Citrus Bloom® and Citrus Bliss® in reception. Bursting with bright citrus notes and balanced by delicate florals and a hint of vanilla, these blends create a fresh, vibrant welcome from the moment you step through our doors. They’re often the first thing patients notice, with many commenting on the uplifting aroma as they arrive.
Dr Barry
If Dr Barry had to choose just two oils, they’d be On Guard® and Purify®.
On Guard has become a staple around the centre, particularly during the cooler months. With its warm, spicy aroma from Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary, it’s one of Dr Barry’s favourite blends to diffuse in his Open Plan Chiropractic room. He also enjoys incorporating it into some of his homemade cleaning products.
Purify is another daily favourite, loved for its fresh, crisp aroma. Blending citrus oils with Lemongrass, Citronella, Tea Tree and Cilantro, it leaves any space smelling clean and refreshed. Most days, you’ll find On Guard and Purify diffusing together in Dr Barry’s treatment room.
Dr Kylie
Dr Kylie’s favourite is ClaryCalm®, a thoughtfully crafted blend designed with women in mind during their monthly cycle. Featuring Clary Sage, Lavender, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile and Ylang Ylang, it has a gentle floral aroma that many women enjoy incorporating into their monthly self-care routine.
Dr Kylie recommends applying it to the lower abdomen as part of a soothing massage, allowing you to enjoy its calming aroma. She also loves the convenience of the Touch roll-on, making it easy to keep in your handbag for application when needed throughout the day.
Dr Amity
Dr Amity has a few favourites depending on the occasion.
Coast® is her everyday favourite simply because she loves the scent. Inspired by Australian and New Zealand coastlines, it blends fresh citrus notes with woody and floral aromas to create what she describes as “the beach in a bottle.” She adds a drop or two to her Koh mop while cleaning, leaving her home smelling beautifully fresh.
During Winter, Easy Air® is another blend Dr Amity enjoys having on rotation around the house. She often reaches for it during hay fever season or when coughs and colds are making the rounds, diffusing it throughout her home or applying it before bed to enjoy its fresh, cooling aroma.
She also keeps Peppermint Touch® close by throughout the day. Whether she’s feeling a little flat, a bit queasy or simply wants a refreshing pick-me-up, it’s one she reaches for regularly.
Dr Shinae
Dr Shinae’s favourite is ZenGest® (previously known as DigestZen®). During Winter, it’s one of the blends she enjoys using most, particularly when she’s feeling under the weather with a heavy cough or cold and that uncomfortable chesty feeling that can come with it.
One of Dr Shinae’s top tips is to add a few drops of ZenGest to a bowl of steaming hot water, drape a tea towel over your head and take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to enjoy the warm, soothing vapours. Featuring Ginger, Peppermint, Fennel, Cardamom, Coriander, Caraway and Anise essential oils, the blend has a warm, spicy, sweet aroma with subtle liquorice notes and is also designed to complement everyday digestive wellbeing. It’s one of Dr Shinae’s favourite blends and one she always has at home.
One of the things we love most about essential oils is that everyone discovers their own favourites and enjoys incorporating them into their daily routines in different ways.
If you’ve been curious about doTERRA essential oils or would simply like to know more about the blends our team enjoy using, feel free to ask us next time you’re in the centre. We’re always happy to share our favourites and chat about the different aromas and blends we love.
