Natural Wellness with Adheesh + Santoshi, Byron Bay (2026)

Don’t you hate it when your head hits the pillow… and your mind decides it’s party time? 🤬

Like seriously… WHY?!
You’re exhausted… but your brain is suddenly solving problems, replaying conversations, planning tomorrow 😩

It’s the worst feeling.
That wired, anxious, can’t-switch-off energy… arghhhhh.

So this is my nightly little ritual 💛

I diffuse my liquid calm blend:
✨ Vetiver
✨ Cedarwood
✨ Copaiba

And I’ll often take a drop of Copaiba before bed.

And honestly… you can feel your whole system just settle.
Like your body finally gets the message OK we’re safe… we can relax now.

🌿 Why this blend feels so calming

There’s actually a really interesting reason behind it (and no, it’s not just woo 😉)

✨ Copaiba
Contains a natural compound called beta-caryophyllene, which interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system — the system that helps regulate stress, mood and nervous system balance.
→ This is why it’s often described as deeply calming and grounding.

✨ Cedarwood
Rich in sesquiterpenes, which are known for their ability to support the nervous system and promote relaxation.
→ Traditionally used for calming the mind and improving sleep.

✨ Vetiver
Often called the oil of tranquillity
→ Known to support deep relaxation and reduce mental overactivity, making it perfect for that racing mind at night.

There’s even research showing blends like these can help lower cortisol (your stress hormone) and bring the body into a more relaxed state.

If your brain loves a 10pm meltdown… try this.
It might just become your new bedtime ritual too 🌙✨

🌿 Varicose Vein Support Blend — For Tired, Heavy Legs 🌿

If your legs have been feeling heavy, achy, or just done by the end of the day this is a very supportive blend.
I love how simple yet effective it feels. Here's exactly what's in it and why each oil earns its place.

🧴 The Recipe In a 10ml roller bottle, combine:

10 drops Helichrysum
10 drops Cypress
10 drops doTERRA DDR Prime

Top with fractionated coconut oil (FCO) and roll on twice a day, morning and night.

✨ Why These Oils?

🌸 Helichrysum — Soothing and calming properties on the skin, it also supports circulation and helps nurture tissue — making it a solid choice for caring for the skin around varicose veins.

🌲 Cypress — Known for promoting healthy blood flow, easing that heavy, achy leg feeling, and offering a gentle toning and tightening effect on the skin.

🛡️ doTERRA DDR Prime — The powerhouse of the blend. Rich in antioxidants, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress — which over time can weaken blood vessels. Think of it as long-term love for your legs.

📋 How to Use Roll directly onto the affected area twice a day, morning and night. Always top your 10ml roller bottle with FCO, especially important for sensitive skin.

What this blend CAN do: ✔️ Ease heavy, tired legs ✔️ Support healthy circulation ✔️ Nourish and soothe the skin

What it CAN'T do: ❌ Fix or reverse varicose veins — that's a structural issue, and your doctor is your best resource there.

💡 Quick reminder: Always patch test before full use

🌿 Hot tip…
If you’re not applying your oils on your spine — you might be missing a trick 👀
It’s hands down one of my favourite spots.
Why?
👉 Your spine is basically your body’s control centre
👉 It’s where so many nerves branch out to your organs + systems (hello peripheral nervous system)
👉 It’s a super easy spot to apply + let the oils absorb slowly
👉 Perfect for supporting things like stress, digestion, hormones + immune support
✨ I find it especially good when I’m feeling:
– run down
– tense or stressed
– a bit off in the gut
– or just needing a reset
👇 This chart is actually such a handy guide
It gives you an idea of where to apply depending on what you’re supporting
💡 My go-to tip:
Always dilute if you’re even a little bit sensitive
Roller bottle + FCO = quick, easy, no fuss ✔️

We all have things we lean on a bit too much sometimes.

Sugar…
Scrolling…
Old patterns…
Or just habits that don’t really serve us anymore.

And if you’ve ever tried to shift one, you’ll know
👉 it’s not just willpower.

What I find interesting is how certain natural tools can support that moment where the urge kicks in.

Two that come up often in research and practice:

🌿 Clove
🌶️ Black Pepper

🌿 Clove

Clove contains a compound called eugenol, which has been studied for its effects on the nervous system, inflammation, and overall stress response.

👉 Kamatou et al., 2012 (Molecules)
👉 Halder et al., 2012

While it’s not about “stopping” a habit, clove is often used to support a sense of grounding and stability — which can be helpful when working through patterns of overconsumption or dependency.

🌶️ Black Pepper

This one has some fascinating research behind it.

👉 Rose et al., 1994 (Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior)
👉 Black pepper vapour was shown to reduce cigarette cravings and associated anxiety

👉 Rose & Behm, 1994
👉 Sensory stimulation (like inhalation) helped ease withdrawal symptoms

💡 The interesting part

It’s not that these oils “fix” anything.
But they may support:

awareness
regulation
and that small gap between urge → reaction

And that’s often where real change starts.

Black Spruce is considered a core adrenal tonic and respiratory remedy — valued for its cortisol-like, anti-fatigue, and inflammation support.

It’s one I reach for when the body feels run down, nerves are frayed, low on energy, or needing deeper support 🌿

💧 Adrenal Support Protocol (Daily Morning Treatment)

If you’re feeling a bit flat or tired:

🪵 Black Spruce – 20 drops
🌿 Thyme – 10 drops
🌸 Rosemary – 10 drops
🥥 Top with fractionated coconut oil (10ml bottle)

👉 Apply 4–5 drops to your lower back (either side of the spine) in the morning
(think: your “recharge zone”)

Use for 3 weeks, then take a break for 7-10 days. Restart again if needed.

🌬️ Respiratory & Immune Fatigue Blend

Perfect for those times when everyone around you is getting sick…

🌲 Black Spruce – 20 drops
🍃 Ravintsara – 20 drops
🌿 Eucalyptus – 20 drops
🌸 Thyme – 10 drops
🥥 Top with FCO (10ml bottle)

👉 Apply to chest + upper back morning & evening
👉 Diffuse Black Spruce + Ravintsara at home

💫 Neuroendocrine / Menopausal Fatigue Blend

For women navigating hormonal or emotional transitions

🌲 Black Spruce – 15 drops
🌸 Clary Sage – 10 drops
🌺 Geranium – 10 drops
🥥 Top with FCO (10ml bottle)

👉 Apply to lower back + feet in the morning

🍯 A simple internal option (short-term)

Sometimes I’ll add:
👉 1 drop Black Spruce in honey or a veggie capsule
for a few days when I need a little boost

(keep this short + always listen to your body)

What I love about Black Spruce is how grounding it feels, not a quick hit of energy, more like steady support.

I really like this story Dr Nicole Stevens shares about how ADAPTIV helped her family through a challenging moment. It’s simple, honest, and very relatable, because this is exactly how this blend tends to show up in real life.

ADAPTIV is one of those oils that earns its place in the home. It’s useful across all ages, and especially helpful when emotions are running high, stress is building, or everyone’s nervous system feels a bit fried.

It doesn’t try to fix or override anything ... it just helps take the edge off. Things feel more manageable, reactions soften, and there’s a bit more space to breathe and respond rather than react.

That’s why I think it’s such a solid, practical blend to have on hand.

15/03/2026

Adaptiv is one of my husband’s absolute favourite blends and it permanently lives on his office table. He loves applying it all over himself 😂 and honestly, I get why.

It’s one of those blends that can calm you almost immediately. When overwhelm hits, the to-do list feels endless, or your mind is racing at 100 miles an hour, Adaptiv just helps take the edge off and bring you back into your body.

I love it for those moments where I feel mentally scattered or a bit frazzled, it creates this gentle sense of balance and emotional steadiness. It’s amazing for stressful days, busy seasons, or anytime you need support navigating change.

I personally prefer diffusing it, especially when I want the whole space to feel calmer and more grounded. Adheesh is all about using it topically — different styles, same result: a calmer nervous system.

I came across this fantastic daily support blend and had to share 💛
Such an easy, convenient way to get powerful oils into your system each morning.

🌿 How to make it:
In a 30 ml dropper bottle
➡️ Add 15 drops of each oil
➡️ Fill the rest with olive, macadamia, or avocado oil

☀️ How to use:
Each morning, take one full dropper, swallow, and go about your day. Simple. Consistent. Powerful.

💧 What’s inside & why I love it:

🛡 DDR Prime – supports healthy cells, balanced emotions & immune health
😌 Copaiba – promotes physical comfort and emotional calm
🧠 Frankincense – supports low inflammatory levels, brain health & cellular support
🍊 Grapefruit – delicious taste, helps curb sugar cravings & supports healthy metabolism
🌸 Pink Pepper – supports healthy circulation and natural cell renewal*

* Cell renewal (apoptosis) is a normal, healthy process where the body lets go of old or unhealthy cells so new ones can thrive.

I love making a blend from these oils 😍
I usually wait until my Jasmine or Neroli Touch is about half empty, then I add 5 drops of each of the other oils. Simple, intuitive, and it works beautifully for me.

Guilt is a heavy emotion. I’ve noticed it doesn’t just live in the mind — it settles in the heart, chest, throat, and nervous system. It can drain emotional energy and keep us stuck in something that has already happened.

And just to be clear — guilt is not the same as conscience.
Your conscience helps you recognise when something needs to be acknowledged, repaired, or learned from. That’s healthy.
But staying wrapped up in guilt long after that? That’s what keeps us from moving forward.

Here’s how I experience these oils working together:

🌸 Jasmine
This one supports self-worth and self-compassion. It gently softens the inner critic and helps bring kindness back toward yourself.

🍊 Neroli
Neroli is very heart-soothing. It helps calm emotional shock and brings a sense of peace when the heart feels tight or burdened.

🌲 Cypress
Cypress supports emotional release. I think of it as helping emotions move instead of staying stuck — especially old feelings that keep looping.

🌿 Black Spruce
This oil feels deeply grounding. It supports the nervous system when emotional weight feels overwhelming and helps restore inner strength.

🌊 Blue Tansy
Soothing and calming. It helps take the edge off emotional intensity and brings a sense of emotional balance.

🌼 Roman Chamomile
This one is incredibly gentle. It helps quiet emotional agitation and supports letting go, especially when guilt turns into rumination.

Together, this blend feels like a companion for emotional healing — not forcing anything away, but creating a soft space where perspective, forgiveness, and movement forward can happen.

For me, it creates a little window where light can come in ✨✨✨✨

Stop tossing bottles that still have oil in them 🙋‍♀️
Here’s my go-to hack to get every last drop — quick, simple, and so satisfying.

04/03/2026

As you probably already know, Copaiba is a daily staple in our home. It’s one of those oils that quietly does so much, and once you start using it, you naturally reach for it every day. Adheesh and I both use Copaiba daily.

💪 Muscles & joints
It’s our go-to for supporting the musculoskeletal system, especially when the body feels inflamed or achy. I take one drop under the tongue morning and night to help regulate the body’s inflammatory response.

🧠 Nervous system support
What I really love about Copaiba is how deeply calming it is. It supports the parasympathetic nervous system — the part responsible for rest, repair, and recovery — which is why it’s so helpful for overall physical comfort.

✨ Skin care favourite
Copaiba is a gem for the skin. It helps strengthen skin structure and deeply nourish. I often add a drop to my moisturiser or blend it with jojoba oil for a simple but powerful skin ritual.

🌬️ Respiratory support
Diffused with citrus or fir oils, it gently soothes tightness, helps breathing feel more open, and creates a beautifully grounding atmosphere.

🩹 First aid must-have
With its natural protective properties, Copaiba is a great addition to any first aid kit, especially for wound sprays, bumps, and bruises.

💛 Emotional wellbeing
Used aromatically, it can lift the mood, promote relaxation, and help calm hormone-related emotional swings.

💧 Pairing tip
I love pairing Copaiba + Cypress to support healthy urine flow and balance. Apply to the abdomen with coconut oil a few times a day, simple and effective.

❤️ Circulation & calm
Copaiba also supports healthy circulation and cardiovascular function, and it’s one I reach for during times of stress or anxiousness to soothe tension and calm the nerves.

🍋 One of my favourite simple Lemon oil hacks
This is such an easy one, and it actually makes a big difference.
I add 2 drops of Lemon essential oil to a bowl of water and use it to clean and freshen my sponges and washcloths. It helps keep them smelling clean and feeling fresher for longer.
🍋 Why Lemon works so well here
Lemon essential oil has natural cleansing and purifying properties. It helps break down residue, supports freshness, and cuts through lingering odours — exactly what sponges and cloths tend to hold onto.
⚠️ Important tip:
Always use a glass or stainless steel bowl. Avoid plastic bowls — no matter how tempting they are — as citrus oils can break down plastic over time.
✨ Bonus sponge tip (this one’s a favourite):
Add a few drops of Lemon oil to a sponge and place it on the top rack of your dishwasher while washing dishes.
It leaves the most beautiful fresh aroma… and your dishes come out extra sparkly ✨
Simple, natural, and so effective — Lemon is one of those oils I never run out of 🍋
