How To Use Doterra Essential Oils

A common question I receive is how to use Doterra essential oils.

You can use oils aromatically, such as putting a few drops in a diffuser filled with water. You need very few drops compared to other oils on the market which tell you often to place 10 or more drops. Because Doterra essential oils are pure and potent you require much less, and because they are certified pure tested grade oils, you receive the utmost quality oils for your health. Bedside, I place just 3 drops in the diffuser. I often opt for a calming oil like Serenity Restful Blend or for those nights where opening up the airways is necessary, EasyAir or Breathe as it goes by in the USA is one we count on. In a larger room like a kitchen I may opt for 6 drops. I love diffusing lemon oil in the kitchen.

You can also experience amazing health benefits by inhaling oils. This can simply be by placing a drop into the palm of your hand and rubbing your hands together and cupping them over your nose and mouth and deeply inhale a few times, or it can be as simple as removing the cap from the bottle and smelling directly from the bottle itself. Perhaps you’re experiencing anxious feelings. When you can take a bottle out of your purse like Adaptiv Calming Blend or Balance Grounding Blend while you’re on the go and use these oils in this way, you’re set.

Topical use is super common in our home. Diluting a few drops of essential oil with a little fractionated coconut oil and away we go. I swipe Doterra On Guard along my daughter’s spine to boost immunity, for myself I often put it under my feet or up the back of my neck. For the days where we need respiratory support, EasyAir/Breathe Respiratory blend on the chest has been helpful.

And then there is internal use of essential oils. I would never recommend ingesting any essential oil brand other than Doterra for the simple fact that in North America there are no regulations for the essential oil industry and a company can write pure on the bottle when indeed it is not. That’s super scary and how there are no regulations is very unfortunate. Frankincense is fantastic for brain health. I place a drop or two under the tongue. To boost immunity I also place a drop or two of Doterra On Guard under my tongue.
