Before you start
Talk to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, or take tamoxifen, thyroid medication, blood thinners or sleep medication.
dōTERRA's own caution for the supplements reads: "Pregnant or nursing women and people with known medical conditions should consult a physician before using." Not a substitute for medical care or hormone therapy. Nothing on this site is medical advice, and we can't tell whether the ritual suits a particular person. A doctor or pharmacist who knows the full picture can.
Morning: the two supplements
Phytoestrogen Essential Complex
- Contains soy and flaxseed extracts and pomegranate extract. Skip it if you are allergic to any of them.
- The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) advises anyone with a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, or taking tamoxifen or thyroid hormone medication (such as levothyroxine), to talk to a doctor before using soy supplements.
- Take with food, as the label directs. Don't take more than the label says.
Bone Nutrient Essential Complex
- Provides calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. If you already take a calcium, magnesium or vitamin D supplement, or a medication that interacts with minerals, check the total with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take with food, as the label directs.
Moment: ClaryCalm®
- A pre-diluted roll-on for external use only. Don't swallow it.
- Possible skin sensitivity. Try it on a small patch of skin first. Avoid the eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas.
- Read the label for any note about sun exposure after applying.
Night: Serenity®
Serenity Restful Complex Softgels
- Contain melatonin. Take one only when you can rest for the night. Melatonin can cause drowsiness: don't drive or use machinery after taking it, and avoid alcohol with it.
- Melatonin can interact with blood thinners, blood pressure and diabetes medications, sedatives and other sleep medication (Mayo Clinic). If you take any of them, talk to your doctor first.
- Don't combine with other melatonin or sleep supplements unless your doctor agrees.
Serenity Restful Blend and Serenity Stick
- The blend is for diffusing; the stick is for the skin of the wrists and chest. External and aromatic use only.
- Possible skin sensitivity. Avoid the eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas.
- Diffuse in a ventilated room, and keep pets in mind: some animals are sensitive to essential oils.
The Adaptiv™ gift
An essential oil blend for aromatic and topical use. Dilute before applying to the skin, avoid the eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas, and follow the label.
