While I have used many doTERRA essential oils during this journey towards wholeness, I have narrowed my list down to my daily dozen!  They are listed in alphabetical order and also for what purpose I use them and some of their other uses. This list is just a small sampling of the oils that are available to us.

Balance: This oil blend really helps to calm and relax me. I wear it topically and I diffuse it.  I also use it for my chronic back pain.  It can also be used to help with mood swings, hot flashes, anxiety, depression, etc.

DDR: This oil blend is one of the two main oils I use for brain health.   It can be used as an antioxidant and cellular health. Many have used it to aid in the treatment of cancer.

Frankincense: This is the second oil I have use for brain health. I combine DDR and Frankincense with a carrier oil and apply it to the base of my neck and down my spine.  I have since learned that it can be used for many more things. It supports the immune system, helps heal infected wounds, enhances memory, aids in the healing of ulcers and  warts, just to name a few. In the oil world, frankincense is known for helping other oils work better. It is the king of the oils!

Grapefruit: This is one of my top choices to help with stress. This is a great one to diffuse.  It works to combat cellulite and can also be used as a decongestant. It also helps PMS, dry throat, etc.

Lavender:  I use this for its calming ability.  I add it with Balance and a carrier oil. This is a great combination to help me relax. Its uses are countless! I’ve used it many times for headaches.  It can be used for bug bites, stings, burns, poison ivy/oak, arthritis, ticks, and much more.

Lemon: I was enjoying this oil in my water until my food sensitivity test indicated that lemons are on my do not eat list. It can be used for bites, stings, cold sores, flu, etc. It is also a great disinfectant.

On Guard: This anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral oil blend gets plenty of show time! I diffuse it frequently, clean with it, apply it topically to stave off cold symptoms and add a drop to each load of laundry. It can also be used for gum disease, halitosis, mold, sore throats, warts, etc.

Peppermint: This is my tummy ache go-to! I also diffuse it for its ability to stimulate alertness. I also use it for fevers. It’s a great one to diffuse in the morning.  It is also good for cold sores, headaches, heartburn, etc.

Purify: This and On Guard are my top two for cleaning. Clean air and surfaces help us stay healthy. I add a drop of purify to a wool ball and toss it in the dryer. The wool ball lessens drying time and the Purify deodorizes the clothes and simply makes them smell fantastic. It can also be used for bug bites, mildew, skin ulcers, etc.

Rosemary: This is another one of my memory boosters. It is a great one to diffuse with peppermint.  It can also be used for arthritis, headaches, sinusitis, etc.

Tea Tree- (Melaleuca):  I use this one for skin irritations and a drop goes in each load of laundry. It can be used for acne, canker sores, dermatitis, eczema, and many more things.

Serenity: This blend is great for soothing and calming the body. I use it topically and I diffuse it. It can also be used for insomnia, mood swings, stress, tension, etc.
