🌿 The Benefits of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using pure, plant-based essential oils to support balance, well-being, and vitality. For women in midlife and beyond, and for the horses who walk beside them, aromatherapy offers gentle yet powerful ways to restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit.
🌹 For Women Over 50
This season of life is often about renewal—rediscovering who you are, finding new rhythms, and embracing self-care. Aromatherapy offers natural support to help you thrive in this chapter.
Benefits:
🌸 Stress Relief & Emotional Balance → Calming oils like lavender and bergamot ease anxiety and promote peace.
🌸 Better Sleep & Relaxation → Oils such as Roman chamomile and cedarwood help quiet the mind for restorative rest.
🌸 Energy & Vitality → Citrus oils like wild orange and lemon uplift mood and boost daily energy.
🌸 Hormonal & Life Transition Support → Clary sage, geranium, and rose can provide comfort during midlife changes.
🌸 Spiritual Renewal → Frankincense and rose invite grounding, reflection, and a deeper sense of connection.
🐴 For Horses
Horses are deeply intuitive beings who respond beautifully to the gentle power of aromatherapy. Essential oils provide natural comfort, calming, and focus for equines in many situations.
Benefits:
🌿 Calming & Relaxation → Lavender and chamomile ease tension during travel, training, or stressful environments.
🌿 Focus & Grounding → Peppermint and frankincense support clarity during work or new routines.
🌿 Comfort in Transition → Gentle oils help aging horses or those in recovery feel supported and at ease.
🌿 Bonding & Trust → Shared aromatherapy sessions invite mutual calm, helping horses connect more deeply with their handlers.
💫 For Both Together
The most powerful benefit of aromatherapy comes when woman and horse experience it together. Breathing in the same plant essences invites calm, balance, and harmony to flow between you—strengthening your bond and creating a shared path of renewal.

My Top Must-Have Essential Oils for Equine Wellness by doTERRA.
1.) AromaTouch: AromaTouch is your go-to blend for soothing joints and muscles—perfect for post-workout recovery and ongoing support. Gently dilute and apply to areas like the hocks, stifles, coronets, or any joint in need. A safe, natural alternative to chemical liniments, and ideal for daily use.
2.) Copaiba: Copaiba is a remarkably versatile essential oil that supports several body systems, including the liver and joints. It also offers powerful emotional benefits, helping to ease stress and anxiety in both horses and humans. Apply topically or add 2–5 drops to feed once or twice daily for gentle, effective support. (A natural alternative often considered even more effective than CBD!
3.) DigestZen: DigestZen is a go-to blend for supporting digestive health in horses—ideal for both daily wellness and urgent care. Use 2–4 drops in feed daily to promote healthy digestion, or apply topically or administer internally as needed during times of discomfort or imbalance. A true essential in every equine wellness kit.
4.) Balance: This essential oil offers powerful support for your horse on every level—emotional, physical, and behavioral. It’s often the first oil I share in almost any equine wellness protocol. Apply 2–6 drops topically and watch as tension melts away—relaxation often begins within minutes. Your horse will thank you.
5.) On-Guard: This powerful essential oil helps strengthen the immune system and provides added protection against environmental threats. Add 2–5 drops to your horse’s feed when extra support is needed to keep them feeling their best.
6.) TerraShield: plant-based alternative offers powerful fly and insect repellent properties. For best results, apply topically to help keep your horse protected and comfortable.
7.) Tea Tree: Because horses always manage to find scrapes, bites, and mysterious rashes—this essential oil is a must-have for skin care, natural pest support, and treating minor wounds. Apply topically to soothe and support healing.
