3 Ways To Use dōTERRA Oils
Aromatic
Smell the oils
- Put 2 drops in your hand and smell.
- Open the bottle and smell.
- Add a few drops to a diffuser with water.
- For emotional support I like to put on wrist and smell.
Topical
Put the oils on
- Apply 2 -4 drops to the problem area. Ex: For stomach aches apply to the stomach and headaches apply to the head.
- Apply to the foot for a short cut into the blood stream and you can even use reflexology and target the body areas through the foot.
- Using carrier oil is also a good idea to maximize absorption but it's mandatory for kids and hot oils like Oregano. (see kids section for dilution charts per age).
- Please be careful with single citrus oils and blends with citrus on the skin when that skin will be exposed to UV rays - your skin can burn more easily.
Internal
Put oils in your body
- *only do this with dōTERRA oils because of extreme testing and start with small dosage. 1 - 2 drops at a time and wait a couple hours before repeating.
- *only do it with oils that have a supplement facts food label on them.
- Add to water or right under the tongue.
- Use veggie caps to avoid taste.
- Cook with oils - peppermint brownies, lemon pasta, lime guacamole or Margaritas!
- *Don't use internal for young kids and for adults the recommendation is 11 - 24 drops maximum internally in a 24 hour period - that's wide range depending on age, health and being certain of your reactions to the oils. Listen to your body and don't go overboard.
Accessories Are Your BFF – Log In And Buy These!
10 ml roller bottles are going to help you mix blends that you use frequently. Head tension, seasonal sneezing, stress, that kind of thing. If you mix it and have it ready you are more likely to use it and if you get the results you want and it’s a great way to stretch your oils and your budget. They are certainly purse friendly and cute. You can buy the roller bottles and fractionated coconut oil to blend in your website for cheap.
Labels you can buy plain labels and write on them. You can get fancier ones on ETSY or Amazon or oil sites like OilLife.com or AromaTools.com. You can also buy sheets of oil name stickers for you caps or roller blends to remember what you added - either on doterra.com or other online sources if you prefer.
Below are several cheat sheets that will help you blend rollers:
Key chains are also great to take your oils on the go, whether it’s to work or on a trip. There is a cute one for sale in your website for only $7 and it comes with the little bottles too.
Veggie Caps are awesome to take oils internally without tasting them. A big bottle is only $4 on doterra.com. If you are in a pinch you can also find them at your local vitamin store. I love me some peppermint brownies and lemon water but not all the oils taste yummy. These DIY pill capsules are easy to fill with oils and pop like a pill. * Only use these oils internally if the bottle has a supplement facts label on the side. If it doesn’t then it’s not safe! Also only take a few drops every few hours, especially if you are new to oils.
The #1 Selling Product Everyone Should Have
It’s not an oil surprisingly! It’s the Life Long Vitality Pack (LLV). It’s a combination of supplements that will change your life. I know. Big statement. But it’s true. Most “vitamins” are crap. Yup. I said it. They are made of synthetic ingredients that the body can’t absorb.
This supplement pack is the best thing you will ever do to live younger, longer. Inflammation and free radicals, combined with bad diet and lack of omega balance, are leading all of us to age prematurely and to deal with lots of diseases we'd rather avoid. I mean, how healthy do you feel now? How is your energy? Your emotional health? Your weight? For me, the answer was not what I wanted it to be and this is a really affordable and easy way to do something to invest in your health for the long haul. It's also the foundational piece that will make the oils that much more effective.
And if you are dealing with a disease already, or any chronic condition, including an auto immune one, you should order these as soon as possible. Your body needs some help and it's not too late to assist.
What makes LLV different than other "vitamins" you can buy?
• Formulated from whole foods not synthetics for total absorption.
• Full of powerhouse ingredients we don’t usually give our body, like milk thistle.
• You get the proper ratio between Omega 3s and 6s. This is not the case with just taking over the counter Omegas.
• The Alpha CRS in the pack will improve your health at the cellular level with crazy high anti oxidant power.
• You will improve your energy, sleep, skin, hair, mood, emotions, and inflammation levels (these are linked to pain and chronic health conditions)
• You will see a difference so fast that you can send them back empty for 100% refund at the end of 30 days. Trust me, you won’t.
• **Make sure you order it in Loyalty Rewards so you can add up to 3 other supplements at a huge discount. The pack also has a 50% discount compared to buying all 3 bottles separately.

Want To Earn Free Product When You Shop?
The Loyalty Rewards Program is how most of us roll. Because we really, really like earning points that get us free product and having access to tons of promotions for free items, including the free product of the month! Loyalty also give you access to even deeper discounts on some products.
Think of it as a monthly subscription box like Fun Fit Fab or Ipsy, BUT way better. Because with dōTERRA you get to customize this monthly wellness box and you can even put as little as 1 item in your box each month. And the price is just the cost of whatever you decide to buy! That's it. By ordering this way you get free points to spend on most oils and products.
How to set up loyalty and earn your points
1. Log into your account and start shopping. When you check out it will prompt you to set up Loyalty or check out without setting up Loyalty.
2. If you select Loyalty it will prompt you to pick your monthly ship date and then you just change your cart each month before your cart ships - then you always earn spending points on your orders as follows...
*1- 49 PV will earn you shipping back in points
*50 PV or more will earn shipping back in points and 10% of PV spent for newbies to the program
*Every 3 months with 50 PV spent you go up 5% on the points earning scale until you reach 30%!
*You only need one qualifying item (has PV and isn't a promo item) in your cart to stay in the program.
Want more free product?
If you spend 125 PV on Loyalty by the 15th of the month you also get that month's free product of the month. Bonus! Check the website to see what it is.
Want to opt back out of loyalty?
If you ever decided to opt back out just spend your money and live chat will take you back out. Easy peasy. You can call if it's easier. Customer service is 800.411.8151.
How do I redeem points?
Points spend just like cash. Any points earned from loyalty get added middle of each month from your previous month's cart. You will see them at the top of your cart and if you have enough to buy the item and the item qualifies to use points (most products and oils do) you will see a box to redeem points on that item. Then you process the order and that's it. Keep in mind you only pay $3 redemption fee no matter how many points you redeem so I recommend using lots of points at once. Also note that you have 1 year from earning points to spend them.

Using Oils On Babies, Kids And Pets
Keep in mind that all the crazy things you read online about using oils for kids and pets is mostly because of the scary things other oils on the market have in them (chemicals, fragrance, pesticides, lead). It’s literally the reason dōTERRA created their own global growing network...so oils can be absolutely safe for the whole family. You do need to use caution and common sense and keep them out of reach so nobody drinks a whole bottle of Peppermint or throws it in their eye! That won't feel good.
We do have a few tips from the experts that you should know:
1. These oils are potent so you should dilute for topical use on kids and pets.
2. Avoid using oils directly on cats. You can diffuse and that’s fine but they have much more delicate systems and are more sensitive to certain oils. They are smart though and if they don't like it from the diffuser they will leave the room.
3. Remember on pets that they lick, so don’t put oils on your dog that aren’t safe internally.
4. I recommend waiting till kids are a little older before they use any oils internally.
5. Use on the bottom of the foot for newborns to minimize any reactions with young, fragile skin. Anyone can benefit from oils on the bottom of the feet actually and targeting with reflexology is very effective too.
These cheat sheets will help you use oils with kids confidently:
Using Oils When Pregnant
Breathe oil for the stuffy nose and snoring. Frankincense and Deep Blue for the sore muscles. Serenity to sleep. Digest Zen for the indigestion and nausea. So many ways these oils make pregnancy better!
Other oil brands: You will read lots of oils to avoid and please do so if you are not using dōTERRA exclusively. This company is run by physicians (including OBs!) and researchers and they all have made sure you can safely use the products. They even recommend the Life Long Vitality Pack as powerhouse prenatal "vitamin". Consult your OB and see if they agree! If you have complications you should also be more cautious.
Do whatever you are comfortable with and please consult your doctor to see if there are any to avoid with your personal health conditions. (high blood pressure and oils that increase circulation for example)
Also note:
1. Clary Sage (which is in some blends also) is reported to be able to stimulate contractions so avoid that oil until you want contractions :)
2. When you transition to a nursing mom, please don't overuse peppermint because it can lower milk production. Try Fennel or Basil (or a blend) to increase milk supply. Copaiba internally seems to help a lot also.

Looking Things Up
Google or Pinterest are great to look for oil recommendations for symptoms and awesome smelling diffuser blends. You’ll see lots of search results but I recommend looking first at Dr. Axe for matching oils to health needs. Don't be afraid to ask me too!

What Else Do You Need For Your Best Health?
If you aren’t sure you have everything you need to take care of all your health and wellness goals then let's create a wish list! One by one look up which oils or blends will help. It’s easy to Google search “essential oils for _______”. If you order through the Loyalty Rewards Program you will earn cash back as you stock your supply.
Everyone should start reducing toxic load and stop putting harmful chemicals, like fragrance, on the skin! The On Guard products (cleaner, toothpaste, hand soap, etc) are a great addition to any home. I’m also a huge fan of the stress reducing body wash, the skin care and the shampoo and conditioner. In 7 weeks the hair products made my hair so much thicker, longer and healthier after post-partum hair loss from the twins. I'm still amazed.
DIY or Buy?
One of the things we love about this company is that we can make our own safe products with the oils or we can buy already made products for personal care or cleaning. Most of us do a little of both!
I buy the natural toothpaste, skin care, hair care, etc, because those are hard to make. And they are way more effective than the chemical versions you buy at Target. (I still love Target though!)
I DIY my deodorant, cleaner, bathroom spray, dry shampoo, perfume, etc because those are so easy to do and I save lots of money doing it myself.
There are so many things to choose from so, again, I recommend you keep a running list and baby step your budget by joining the Loyalty Rewards Program. Each month you can go check your wish list and just add whatever you want as you go or reorder any oils you've run out of.
