Discover the Magic of doTERRA Essential Oils: My Go-To Oils for Wellness

If you’ve ever walked into a room and felt an instant sense of calm or energy just from the scent in the air, you’ve experienced the power of aromatherapy. Over the past 8 years, I’ve fully embraced essential oils as a cornerstone of my wellness routine, and doTERRA has become my trusted source. I even created a full-time business sharing my love for aromatherapy and creativity through craft workshops!

These oils aren’t just about fragrance—they’re about supporting your body, mind, and home naturally. Today, I’m sharing my personal favorites and why they’ve become staples in my life.

Why I Chose doTERRA As My Favourite

When I first started exploring essential oils, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of brands and options out there. While doTERRA is not the only company I use and recommend, it is in my opinion top notch quality. Knowing that these oils are safe to use on my skin, on my children, and in my diffuser, gives me peace of mind. Plus, their sourcing practices support communities around the world and are very easy to order online.

My Top 5 Single Essential Oils

1. Lavender

Lavender is my “can’t live without it” oil. Whether I’m winding down after a busy day or soothing a mild skin irritation, lavender always comes to the rescue. A few drops on my pillow at night or in a relaxing bath makes a world of difference.

2. Peppermint

Peppermint is like a breath of fresh air—literally! I use it for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m feeling sluggish, and it’s a lifesaver for tension headaches. Just a dab on my temples or neck, and I’m good to go.

3. Lemon

This cheerful oil brightens up my day and my home! It’s also a superstar for cleaning; just a couple of drops in a spray bottle with water creates an all-natural cleaner that smells divine.

4. Frankincense

Known as the "king of oils," frankincense has become a staple in my skincare routine. I mix a drop with my moisturizer to help even out my skin tone. It’s also my go-to for meditation, creating a sense of grounding and peace.

5. Tea Tree (Melaleuca)

Tea tree oil is my all-purpose solution for anything that needs a little extra TLC. From blemishes to bug bites to cleaning my yoga mat, this oil is endlessly versatile.

My Favorite doTERRA Blends

1. On Guard (Protective Blend)

This blend has been a game-changer for my family’s immune health. I diffuse it during cold and flu season and use it to clean high-touch surfaces in my home. The warm, spicy scent is so comforting.

2. Deep Blue (Soothing Blend)

We have a house full of busy humans and athletes! I have searched high and low, and nothing compares to Deep Blue. It not only soothes achey joints, but the essential oils in Deep Blue help repair muscle tissue and soothe inflammation. (Highly Recommend)

3. Breathe (Respiratory Blend)

Whenever I feel congested or need to clear my mind, I reach for Breathe. (Easy Air) A few drops in my diffuser or even applied to my chest feels like a deep, rejuvenating inhale. Breathe works miracles on any type of sinus or respiratory cold.

4. DigestZen (Digestive Blend)

This blend has saved me so many times when I’ve overindulged. Rubbing it on my stomach or adding a drop to water provides instant relief.

How I Use doTERRA Oils Daily

In the Morning: I love to diffuse citrus and mint int he mornings to boost mood and energy naturally.
During the Day: Because of On Guards antibacterial and anti viral properties, I diffuse and clean with it each day! Also incredible for immune support!
At Night: I always add a drop of lavender, patchouli or cedarwood to the bath with epson salts. Lavender or Serenity in my diffuser creates the perfect bedtime ritual.
