Essential Oils
What is an essential oil?
Essential Oils are made from plants for physical and emotional benefits. They are distilled from leaves, flowers, tree bark, seeds, or rind of fruit in concentrated amounts. Typically one drop of a dōTERRA® essential oil has a powerful effect making them affordable at just pennies per use! View a short video clip introducing essential oils
How do I use essential oils?
You will soon learn that there are hundreds of ways to use dōTERRA® essential oils, including relaxation, personal hygiene, household cleaning, cooking, and supporting a healthy body. Every oil has at least one of three application methods: Aromatic, Topical, or Internal.
For Aromatic Use
Breathe in or inhale a drop from your hands or use a diffuser to open up airways, improve mood, or freshen the air.
For Topical Use
Use a carrier oil when applying to bottoms of feet or affected areas to target specific needs.
For Internal Use
Use a drop in water, under the tongue, or in a veggie capsule to support your digestive system, mouth, throat, or overall health.
Bonus Use
Use dōTERRA® essential oils to make your own household cleaners or add essential oils to your skin and body care for natural support.

A Few Essential Oil Safety Tips
Photosensitivity
No sunbathing after applying citrus essential oils. Citrus oils are sensitive to the sun since they are made from the rind of fruit. Avoid direct sunlight to the exposed area for at least 12 hours of that location. Oils applied underneath clothing and to feet should be fine.
Avoid These Areas
Never put essential oils in your eyes, inside the ear canal, or up nose. However, you may apply oils around the eye bone in a C shape, on ear cartilage and behind ear bone, or diffuse essential oils.
Dilution
Use a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil when applying essential oils topically to avoid skin sensitization.
Hot Oils
If an oil feels uncomfortable or too intense on a certain area, be sure to apply a carrier oil like coconut oil or any other food-based oil to the area. Avoid adding water. Essential oils don't mix with water, applying water to the area can actually drive the oil in deeper making it more uncomfortable.
