Aromatherapy, or Essential Oil Therapy, is both an art and a science. It uses the naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to support the health of the body, mind, and spirit. Aromatherapy works to balance, harmonize, and integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, helping to engage your body’s natural healing processes.
What can doTERRA essent
The essential oils I choose are primarily from DoTerra. I’ve tried various brands, but DoTerra resonates with the kind of energy and quality I find most effective. Here, I’ll be sharing links to helpful resources and details on some specific oils I personally love. Let’s start with my top favorite:
Lavender – A Must-Have Essential Oil
Lavender is an incredibly versatile oil that I believe every home should have on hand. I use it in several ways:
- For stress relief and pain – added to my drinking water, diffused aromatically, or applied topically.
- For burns – it’s wonderfully soothing.
- For relaxing animals – my pets find it calming.
Other uses include:
- For restful sleep – mixed with eucalyptus oil (just a reminder, eucalyptus should not be ingested).
- For meditation – blended with frankincense to enhance calm and focus.
For those with autoimmune concerns, lavender can also help manage symptoms. It’s one of the most budget-friendly oils, especially when diluted in roller bottles with fractionated coconut oil, which adds moisturizing benefits.
Other Favorite Oils
- Frankincense, Myrrh, Eucalyptus, and Wild Orange – each offers unique benefits and energies.
- On-Guard – This immune-boosting blend from DoTerra is a staple during cold and flu season and helps me feel more at ease in times of stress. Stress can weaken our immune system, and On-Guard is a carefully selected blend to help strengthen it.
For me, these oils are essential allies in maintaining wellness and balance.
Arthritis Relief Blend
I’ve crafted this blend specifically to ease arthritis in my hands and knees, and it has provided remarkable relief.
Here's the recipe for a roller bottle application:
- 20 drops of Frankincense
- 20 drops of Myrrh
- 20 drops of Wild Orange
Shake well, then top off the bottle with fractionated coconut oil.
