Why Adaptiv? The Story Behind the Blend

Before diving into the science, Dr. Stevens shared her personal connection to Adaptiv. “I think of Adaptiv as one of my babies,” she said, recalling her time on the doTERRA formulation team. The goal was to create an essential oil blend that could provide both calming and uplifting effects—something to help when life feels overwhelming, while also promoting a positive mindset.

“We knew we wanted oils that could calm the chaos but also create an uplifting environment,” Dr. Stevens explained. And with that vision, Adaptiv was carefully crafted to support emotional balance—whether you’re at home, work, or on the go.

What’s in Adaptiv Calming Blend?

One of the reasons Adaptiv stands out is its combination of essential oils, each chosen for its unique properties:

• Wild Orange: With its bright, citrusy aroma, Wild Orange creates an uplifting atmosphere.
• Lavender: Known for its calming scent, Lavender promotes relaxation and ease.
• Copaiba: This warm, woody oil adds a grounding element to the blend.
• Spearmint, Magnolia, Rosemary, and Neroli: Together, these essential oils promote focus, clarity, and emotional balance.

“It’s amazing how so many different oils come together to create something that smells magical and works so effectively,” said Lauren Busch. Even with its complexity, Adaptiv has a harmonious, inviting scent that many love as a natural fragrance.

Why Adaptiv Works: The Science

So what makes Adaptiv so effective? The secret lies in its chemistry. Dr. Stevens explained the essential oils in Adaptiv contain natural compounds that help create a calming and uplifting environment. Three key compounds play a big role:

• Limonene (Wild Orange): Limonene creates a bright, citrusy aroma that contributes to a positive and uplifting environment.
• Beta-Caryophyllene (Copaiba): Known for its grounding properties, this compound offers a sense of balance.
• Linalool (Lavender): Linalool is commonly associated with relaxation and promoting a calm atmosphere.

The combination of these chemical compounds allows Adaptiv to offer both calming and uplifting effects. “The diversity in chemistry means we have the right application for the diversity of emotions we experience,” Dr. Stevens noted. The essential oils (and their chemical compounds) are what makes the blend versatile, whether you need to create a calming atmosphere, focus on a task, or unwind at the end of the day.

How to Use Adaptiv in Your Daily Routine

One of the best things about Adaptiv is how easy it is to use. During the podcast, both Dr. Stevens and Lauren Busch shared practical tips for incorporating it into your day. Here are some of their favorites:

1. Diffuse for a Calming Atmosphere

Diffusing Adaptiv is a simple way to create a sense of calm, whether at home, at work, or even in the car.

“We had stations set up throughout the house, each diffusing Adaptiv,” Dr. Stevens shared, recalling a time when her family was stuck at home with eight people, two bunnies, two turtles, a hedgehog, three gerbils, and a dog. Despite the chaos, the calming aroma of Adaptiv helped create a more peaceful environment.

2. Use the Roller Bottle for On-the-Go Comfort

Adaptiv Touch is perfect for busy days when you need a quick moment of calm. “I always keep a [roller] in my purse, and my teenagers carry one in their backpacks,” said Lauren Busch. Simply roll it on your wrists, temples, or back of the neck for fast centeredness and tranquility.

3. Take Softgels for Consistent Support

For daily emotional balance, Adaptiv Softgels are a convenient option. “I take a softgel every morning as part of my supplement routine,” said Dr. Stevens. “It’s an easy way to support emotional well-being throughout the day.” Many people find taking Adaptiv Softgels regularly helps them feel more centered and resilient, especially during busy or stressful seasons.

Practical Ways to Use Adaptiv with Everyone

One of the reasons Adaptiv is so popular is that it works well for people of all ages. During the podcast, Lauren Busch shared how her family uses Adaptiv:

• For Children: Apply Adaptiv Touch to the bottoms of their feet before school or bedtime to promote a sense of calm.
• For Teenagers: Use Adaptiv Touch to support focus and confidence during exams, presentations, or social situations.
• For Adults: Roll on Adaptiv Touch throughout the day to stay grounded or take a softgel each morning as part of your wellness routine.

The podcast also highlighted how Adaptiv can be part of family bonding moments. “We use Adaptiv during AromaTouch^® Hand Technique massages, especially with our teenagers,” Lauren shared. “It’s a simple way to connect, encourage relaxation, and open up conversations. Sometimes, just taking a few moments to breathe in the aroma makes a big difference.”

Creating Lasting Memories with Adaptiv

One of the most amazing benefits of using essential oil products like Adaptiv is how they can become part of your memories. Dr. Stevens reflected on how the aroma of Adaptiv is now connected to positive family moments: “It’s amazing how certain scents can anchor themselves to memories. For my kids, the smell of Adaptiv reminds them of feeling calm and connected, even during challenging times.”

This connection between scent and memory is one of the many reasons people love using Adaptiv daily. Whether you’re applying it during a stressful moment, diffusing it while spending time with family, or using it as part of your bedtime routine, the calming aroma can create a sense of comfort and familiarity.

Tips for Using Adaptiv Safely

While Adaptiv is safe and easy to use, it’s important to follow a few guidelines:

• Internally: Follow the recommended dosage on the product label for Adaptiv Softgels. If you have any health concerns, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Topically: Adaptiv Touch is prediluted and ready to apply directly to the skin. If you’re using the undiluted essential oil blend, mix it with a carrier oil before applying to sensitive areas.
• Aromatically: Add three to five drops to your diffuser and enjoy the calming aroma.

For children, always use essential oils as directed and test on a small area of skin before widespread use. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.

Why Adaptiv Is a Go-To for So Many

As the podcast wrapped up, both Dr. Stevens and Lauren Busch emphasized how Adaptiv has become a staple in their homes. “It’s one of those things we reach for again and again because it works,” said Lauren. “Whether it’s a busy day, a challenging moment, or just the need to take a breath, Adaptiv is there to help create a sense of calm and balance.”

If you’re looking for a natural way to support your emotional well-being, Adaptiv might be just what you need. With its calming aroma, uplifting properties, and easy-to-use formats, it’s no wonder so many people consider Adaptiv essential to their daily routine.
