Frankincense - for Everything Anti-Inflammatory and Discomfort

4. Grounding

5. Cellular Support

6. Healthy Skin

Frankincense is known as the “king of oils”, it is renowned as one of the most prized essential oils. Spend enough time around essential oil people and you will hear the phrase, “when in doubt, use Frankincense. Frankincense can be used to improve the appearance of skin imperfections and it can also be used in a veggie capsule to support healthy cellular function. It is known for supporting healthy cellular, immune, nervous, and digestive function when used internally. It can also be diffused to create a peaceful and satisfying aroma.

One of the ways that I use Frankincense for healthy skin is by adding a drop to my Verage Moisturizer from doTERRA and apply it to my skin every night, especially around my eyes to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

For cellular support, you can add a drop of Frankincense under your tongue every day to help promote homeostasis within your body. You can also put Frankincense on your feet to support grounding.

Lemon – is uplifting

7. Cleansing

8. Sticker Remover

9. Mood Booster

Lemon essential oil is a top selling oil among doTERRA customers. It has cleansing, purifying, and invigorating properties. Lemon essential oil can be diffused to purify the air and for an instant mood booster. Add a couple drops to your water for a healthy boost throughout the day. It can also be added to water and placed in a spray bottle to clean countertops and other surfaces in your home. If you have leather furniture in your home, soak a cloth in Lemon oil and wipe down leather surfaces to preserve them or use Lemon oil on silver and other metals to combat the early stages of tarnish.

Lemon is a citrus oil, and all citrus oils are known to be elevating to the mood and cleansing to the environment. You can put Lemon in your diffuser at any time to boost your mood. It pairs well with other oils such as Peppermint, Lavender, Frankincense, or Wild Orange and Frankincense.

Lemon essential oil is great for removing labels, stickers, or anything sticky from glass surfaces. Picking labels off glass jars can be a chore sometimes, but in my experience, Lemon really helps to take labels off easily. For wood surfaces you may want to spot test before using Lemon oil to remove stickers from it.

For cleansing, I recommend adding a few drops to your water every morning to help gently activate the cleansing channels of your body.

Tea Tree – is a natural disinfectant

10. Hair and Nail Health

11. Promotes Clear Skin

12. Apply to Blemishes

Tea Tree essential oil is best known for its purifying properties. Tea Tree oil can be used to cleanse the skin, clean surfaces in the home, and purify the air. It can be applied to the skin after shaving or to the fingernails and toenails after showering to keep them looking healthy. It can also be added to water and a spray bottle to clean surfaces in your home.

The way that I used Tea Tree for hair and nail health is by making a spray with ten drops of Tea Tree, Lavender, and Rosemary added to about 2 oz of water, and I spray that on my daughter’s hair every morning before school so that she doesn’t bring those little bugs home in her hair from school. This can also be used on the nails of the feet, for any nail funk you may be experiencing.

Oregano – for serious immune support

13. Immune Boosting

14. Cleansing

Oregano is known as a spice, often used in cooking, but did you know it contains powerful cleansing agents as well? Oregano has many uses that extend outside of the kitchen and it offers powerful antioxidants. According to doTERRA’s website, “The primary chemical component of Oregano is carvacrol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested.” It is recommended that Oregano be diluted with a carrier oil when being applied to the skin. Oregano can be taken internally to support healthy digestion and respiratory function.

Oregano is quite strong, so if you are using it in a pasta sauce you only need to dip a toothpick in the Oregano oil and add that to your pot of sauce; you do not need a full drop.

For a mid-day pick me up, place one drop of Peppermint oil and one drop of Wild Orange oil in your hand and inhale deeply.

Peppermint oil can be applied to the temples if you are experiencing head tension. It can also be applied to the back of the neck to help you cool down when it’s hot out or if your body is running hotter than you would like it to you can apply it right along the spine.
