Essential to Know

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 HERE.

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 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 ~ Drop in water, under tongue, or in veggie capsule to support mouth, throat, digestive system, or overall health.

What are some basic safety tips?
1) Photosensitivity - 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 to avoid skin irritation or burn. Oils applied underneath clothing should be fine.

2) Hot Oils - Until you know how your skin will react, use a carrier oil, lotion made for blending with oils, or whole fat milk. Because essential oils don't mix with water, applying water to the area can actually intensify the burning sensation. 


3) Avoid These Areas - Never put essential oils in your eyes, inside ear canal, or up the nose. However, you may apply oils around the eye bone in a C shape, on ear cartilage and behind the ear on the mastoid bone, or diffuse essential oils.

4) Dilution - Use a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil when applying essential oils topically to avoid skin irritation and for safe use with children and pets.

5) Safe Storage - Keep out of reach of children by storing on a high shelf, cabinet, or storage box. Use child proof safety caps. Educate your children on safe usage of essential oils, and explain the dangers of ingesting essential oils internally (or use in large, undiluted quantities).
