I have seen a significant difference to my family’s overall health, focus, rest, relaxation, and stress reduction since introducing doTERRA Essential Oils into our lives. My daughter has shown great focus and less anxiety since we started using the oils. She feels more at ease and calm when completing a project or when taking tests (she ALWAYS got super nervous and anxious when taking any test), and I attribute her change to using the oils! She notices a difference in her moods as well, and has been very happy with the results!
