Adaptive
The Adaptive oil is a new blend that dōTERRA released close to my birthday last year 2019! I call it the anxiety oil. They marketed it to be used for anxiety. It is created to be used in a set; the oil which you would add drops to a diffuser to diffuse into the air, the Touch version via roller-ball bottle onto your skin, and the pill form to take internally. I have used all three, although I did not buy the Touch version. I diluted it myself with coconut oil and put it in my own roller-ball bottle.
I honestly am put at ease when blending a citrus oil with Adaptive. I made my own Touch blend adding Tangerine and called it "Tangziety" to redefine what I was feeling to be of the life-giving essence instead of the stress-giving essence. I have been using it for almost a year now behind my ears basically every day once or twice a day. I liken it to when Spiderman shoots multiple webs to secure something. The more "webs" or tools we use in regards to anxiety (Adaptive Touch multiple times a day, using other oils, diffusing the oil, eating healthy, resting well, meditating, getting other forms of healthy therapy etc.) the more secure we are in each day handling (and detoxing from the) moments of stress and anxiety-producing people and situations. I experienced an amazing affect of felt peace when diffusing Adaptive in an enclosed space by myself (as opposed to an open area where the diffused oil dissipates quickly into the air).
The pills on the other hand take maybe an hour to kick in for me personally. This isn't maybe as helpful if you have an anxiety attack, you don't feel the calming affect until an hour later (going by my personal experience)! I don't know if dōTERRA is expecting us to just use it twice a day and hopefully if the stress and anxiety hits that day, the pill has already kicked in? My oil accountability partner (as I choose to call her now) advised me to go ahead and take two pills a day like normal to notice if I change overall. I have yet to try that yet. I do not remember if I had caffeine each day I used the pill form or not. If I did, that would explain why I did not discern much of a difference as my body does not take to caffeine from coffee/espresso too well. It is safe to use, but at the same time I don't want to depend on anything. I guess it could be used as a preventative measure? It is a much better choice between something natural from the earth as opposed to chemicals and man-made prescription medications.

A primary function of the pill form of this natural anxiety inhibiting essential oil is that it also contains a concentrated form of GABA (a natural chemical our brains produce to inhibit too much activity that would cause mood swings, lack of sleep and metabolism etc.) derived from natural resources. The natural foods we could digest containing GABA do not contain enough of the resource to make a valuable difference in our mood.
"Zembrin, a patented extract of the Sceletium tortuosum plant (Kanna) that was developed by a multi-national team of physicians and scientists, has been the focus of several published studies in the last several years, including three placebo-controlled human clinical studies. Along with examining the safety of its consumption (it has self-affirmed Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US), much of this research has revolved around its efficacy in supporting healthy emotional responses to anxiety-inducing events and supporting overall cognitive well-being."
Each ingredient chosen for this blend was artfully combined to woo the partaker into mood that is comprised of energizing yet calm, soothing yet focused and uplifting yet restful. Please take time to read through these articles to expound more on what has been shared in this blog:
