Discovering the world of essential oils can sometimes seem dizzying. The variety of oils and blends available is so vast that it’s hard to know which to choose first. The essential oils you choose should harmonize with your personal needs, but it certainly pays to take advantage of a few tips before adopting the essential oil lifestyle. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the ten most popular dōTERRA oils. These are the essential oils most appreciated by the dōTERRA family, as much for the infinite possibilities of use they offer as for their sublime aromas. You’ll want to adopt them too.
Ready to get started? We’ve divided our list into two categories: the basics and the wellness must-haves.
Fundamentals
As part of our introductory collection and starting trio, Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon oils are the perfect gateway to essential oils. They each offer a wide range of uses and are ideal for adopting healthy habits that incorporate essential oils into everyday life.
Lavender oil
This oil is incredibly versatile! You probably already know the scent of lavender, or perhaps you’ve even experienced the aroma that its essential oil gives off. With its powerful floral aroma, dōTERRA’s lavender essential oil works wonders on the skin. An excellent choice for discovering the benefits of essential oils.
Diffuse a few drops to create a peaceful atmosphere, mix a drop with your moisturizing lotion to enjoy its soothing effect on the skin, or add it to your recipes to enhance the flavor of your dishes.
Peppermint oil (PSN)
This is undoubtedly one of the oils on this list with the best-known and most remarkable aroma. Its fresh, minty fragrance is recognized and loved by all, and the full potential of this oil is revealed in aromatic, topical and internal use. Peppermint essential oil is very popular in aromatherapy for its many therapeutic uses.
Energize your environment by diffusing peppermint oil, use it in aromatherapy to relieve symptoms of nausea*, or rub a few drops on tense areas of the body such as the neck, shoulders and head for a cooling sensation.
Wellness essentials
We all need to enjoy restful sleep, keep our space clean or take care of the health and appearance of our skin. And sometimes, a little help to adopt healthy habits and achieve well-being is welcome!
You’ll find exactly what you need in the rest of our list. Here are our wellness essentials:
On Guard® blend
Since there are so many essential oils with energizing tastes, topical cleansing properties and invigorating, comforting aromas, we thought we’d bring together some of the most popular to create a powerful blend: the On Guard essential oil blend. Wondering why it’s one of our ten must-haves? Just one drop will convince you. We can’t live without it.
Add a drop to hot tea for a spicy, soothing taste, add a few drops to a spray bottle filled with water for an all-purpose cleaning solution, or diffuse the blend to enjoy its invigorating, energizing aroma.
Wild orange oil
Who doesn’t love citrus? The benefits of wild orange oil are similar to those of lemon oil, including its citrus aroma and cleansing properties, but its fragrance is even sweeter and milder. In addition to enhancing the flavor of your water, it’s a great addition to most blends.
Diffuse wild orange oil in a room to enjoy its invigorating aroma, add it to your natural-source cleaning product to enhance its properties, or pour a couple of drops into your drink for a touch of deliciously sweet citrus flavor.
Frankincense oil
It’s not for nothing that it’s often referred to as the “queen of essential oils”! In addition to its powerful benefits for the skin, frankincense essential oil has a rich, comforting aroma. Incorporate it into your skincare routine, and you’ll be treated like royalty! It’s because Frankincense oil is so precious that we’ve included it on our list of must-have essential oils.
Incorporate frankincense oil into a post-workout massage to enjoy its comforting and soothing effects, apply it to your skin and nails to give them a healthy appearance, or diffuse it to release its aroma that inspires peace, rejuvenation and contentment.
Easy Air® blend
The wonderfully fresh, minty and invigorating aroma of this blend is all it takes to understand why it’s one of our must-haves. Made up of essential oils distinguished by their camphorated, stimulating aromas, Easy Air is the ideal blend for any season.
Enjoy an invigorating aroma by applying Easy Air blend to your chest or diffusing it, pour a drop into a bath or shower for a revitalizing fragrance, rub it on your feet, or place a drop in the palm of your hands, cup them in front of your face and inhale deeply during a meditation session.
Tea tree oil
If you’re looking for an aroma that inspires cleanliness, this is our favorite oil. Tea tree oil has a lively, camphorated, earthy aroma. It’s gentle enough for direct application to skin and nails, and offers cleansing properties for healthy-looking skin.
Mix tea tree oil with your facial cleanser to enhance its benefits, apply it to your skin and nails for a soothing sensation and healthy appearance, or diffuse it to freshen the air.
ZenGest® blend
You’ll love this unique blend for a variety of occasions, including diffusing it at home, on the go or for a soothing abdominal massage. ZenGest may be a basic blend, but there’s nothing ordinary about it!
As its name suggests, this blend of essential oils gives off an aroma that inspires tranquility and calm.
Rub ZenGest blend on the backs of your hands before a plane trip, pour a few drops into your car’s diffuser to enjoy its soothing, comforting aroma, or apply it during an abdominal massage after a good meal.
Serenity® blend from dōTERRA
We couldn’t pass up this blend on our must-have list. Formulated with the most soothing and relaxing aromas available, this essential oil blend is your main asset to incorporate into your bedtime care routine, and is versatile enough to be used at any time of day during your moments of relaxation.
Diffuse Serenity blend in the evening to promote a calm atmosphere, pour a drop into a hot bath to enjoy its relaxing aroma, or apply it to your temples or wrists to release a scent that inspires serenity wherever you go.
Whether you adopt them on a daily basis or use them occasionally, we hope that the essential oils on this list will help you discover their many uses and benefits for you and your family.
