“Serenity is the tranquil balance of heart and mind.” — Harold W. Becker

This week’s blog is written by Shelly, a friend and fellow oil lover who shares her personal perspective and tips. We love having her voice alongside ours. This time, she’s sharing why Serenity Restful Blend is her go-to for peace and rest. Welcome, Shelly.

Serenity Restful Blend: Calm You Can Reach for Day or Night

Life doesn’t just get overwhelming at night. The kids are loud, the dog is barking, your phone won’t stop buzzing—and suddenly your whole system feels maxed out. Other times it’s the middle of the night, when your mind just won’t shut off. Different hours, same need: calm.

That’s why doTERRA Serenity® Restful Blend has earned a permanent place in our homes. It isn’t only for sleep—it’s for any moment when stress, worry, or restlessness take over. One deep breath of its soothing aroma is often all it takes to remember: peace is just a drop away.

What Is doTERRA Serenity® Restful Blend?

Serenity is doTERRA’s calming blend, created to quiet the mind, ease tension, and support restorative rest. Inside the bottle: Lavender, Cedarwood, Ho Wood, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Hawaiian Sandalwood. Together, they form a blend that can soften the edges of even the toughest days.

Calming Oils Through History

These aren’t new remedies—they’ve been trusted for centuries:

• Lavender – treasured in Rome and Egypt for relaxation and purification.

• Chamomile – steeped for centuries to calm the mind and body.

• Cedarwood – used in ancient rituals for grounding and stability.

  

Serenity takes this history of healing and wraps it into one simple, modern blend.

Everyday Ways to Use Serenity

This is where Serenity shines: it adapts to your day.
