Back in April, my friend, Tina, came to visit and teach me about using doTERRA oils and why she felt they were so amazing. And it was a bit of an excuse to pay for her trip here, too… Although, I have to admit that I was a bit shocked at how much my view about essential oils during her visit!
After playing with them for myself, beginning to use them with my clients and seeing/feeling some pretty huge changes with the energy, it became pretty clear that it was important to share this with everyone. Rather than extoll the virtues of why I believe doTERRA is such a great company (you can read about that on their site for sure!), I thought I’d share with you my favorite oils – and why I love them!
- Breathe (Invigorating Blend)
- Can relieve: Grief, obsessiveness, annoyance, pride, resentment, terror. I have found it particularly useful when someone doesn’t feel as though they have value or looks outside themselves for affirmation.
- Soothes and opens the tissues of the respiratory system Combats airborne bacteria and viruses
- Place one drop on palm of the hand. Cup hands over mouth and nose. Breathe in to clear sinuses or lungs.
- Lavender
- Can relieve: Self abuse (physical and mental), defensiveness, feeling anxious, rejected, shameful, worthless and much more! Lavender is pretty amazing! (And as a note, I’ve tried many different brands of Lavender and this one is my absolute favorite!)

- Add 1 drop to 1 drop of lavender on tissue for migraine relief. Or put several drops into a small spray bottle with water – and use it for hot flashes! It’s amazing!

- Diffuse when in shock, feeling hopeless or fearful. Put 2 drops each of Wild Orange and OnGuard in a diffuser to help offset these overwhelming emotions!
These really are my favorite oils and they are the ones I go through the quickest. I’ll be sharing some recipes for them in the future – ones that I’ve either put together or ones that I have found particularly helpful. If you have any requests, please let me know!
In the meantime, if you have any questions, just shoot me and email or give me a buzz. I’m happy to help you figure out what’s correct!
