Congratulations—you’ve received your essential oils kit! Opening that box can feel exciting yet overwhelming. Trust me; I’ve been there. My name is Betsy, and I’ve been learning, using, and teaching about essential oils and doTERRA products for over seven years. I’m thrilled to guide you on the first steps in making the most of your new oils.

Unbox and Use Your Essential Oils

First things first—don’t leave your oils tucked away in that pretty box, hidden from sight. I know how tempting it is to keep everything neat, but oils are meant to be used!

Practical First Steps:

Open each bottle immediately and smell them. Familiarize yourself with their aromas.
Apply cap stickers to quickly identify each oil.
Place your oils strategically—put Lavender and Frankincense in your bedroom for restful sleep, OnGuard in your kitchen for cleansing the air, and keep handy oils like Peppermint in your purse.

How to Use Essential Oils: Diffusing Basics

One of the simplest and most effective ways to experience the power of essential oils is through diffusing. Think of a diffuser as setting the mood or “temperature” of a room emotionally and physically.

Essential Diffuser Tips:

Always fill to the waterline—not more, not less.
Add 4-10 drops depending on the size of your diffuser and room.
Experiment with blends: Try OnGuard for immunity, Lavender for relaxation, or Peppermint for focus.

Popular Diffuser Blends:

Immune Support: OnGuard + Lemon + Peppermint
Allergy Relief: Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint
Restful Sleep: Serenity, Lavender, or Vetiver

Applying Essential Oils Topically

Applying oils directly onto your body offers numerous benefits, from easing muscle pain to soothing skin irritation.

Why Dilute Essential Oils?

Protects sensitive skin, especially for children, elderly, or pets.
Makes oils last longer by slowing evaporation.
Enhances absorption and effectiveness.

How to Dilute:

Use fractionated coconut oil as your carrier.
General guideline: 2-4 drops essential oil with a teaspoon of carrier oil for topical application.

Simple Rollerball Recipes:

Pain Relief Blend: Peppermint, Deep Blue, Frankincense.
Digestive Relief: DigestZen, Peppermint.

Safety First: Essential Oil Tips

Important Safety Practices:

Never put oils inside ears, eyes, or nose directly. Instead, apply diluted oils around these sensitive areas or use gentle inhalation methods.
Citrus Oils are Photosensitive: Avoid applying citrus oils directly on your skin before sun exposure to prevent skin irritation.

Effective Alternative Applications:

For sinus relief, try a steam inhalation method with hot water and essential oils.
For ear discomfort, use diluted oils applied externally around the ear.

Internal Use: Harnessing the Power Within

doTERRA oils are uniquely pure, making them safe for internal consumption—great for immune support, digestion, and general wellness.

How to Take Oils Internally:

Add to Water: Lemon, Wild Orange, Grapefruit—perfect to encourage hydration.
Veggie Capsules: Create targeted blends for immune support or digestive issues.
Softgels: Pre-made solutions like TriEase for allergies or OnGuard for immunity.

Practical Internal Usage:

Immune Boosting Capsule: OnGuard, Oregano, Frankincense, Lemon.
Allergy Relief Capsule: Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint (or try TriEase).

Essential Oil Supplements: Lifelong Vitality

The crown jewel of doTERRA’s wellness line is the Lifelong Vitality Pack. This potent trio is crafted to fill nutritional gaps, enhancing overall energy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Why Lifelong Vitality?

Boosts energy and clarity.
Reduces inflammation and supports healthy digestion.
Improves overall mood and hormonal balance.

Taking LLV regularly was transformative for my health, energy, and overall wellness.
