Essential Oils for Self-Care
Essential oils can be used aromatically, topically, and internally. Not all essential oils can be used in all three ways so it's advisable to read the label or research about the specific oil you are intended to use prior to it's application.
The following essential oils are three fantastic options to incorporate into your self-care routine and will include one essential oil for each application.
These three are great examples of essential oils that you can easily incorporate into your every day self-care routine. There are so many other options including essential oils that can help with sleep, digestion, pain relief, stress, and emotional concerns. If you have any questions or want to learn more about essential oils, get in touch with me or visit my essential oils page for more information.

My go-to essential oil for self-care? Lavender! I love diffusing it, using it as a massage with coconut oil, put a few drops in my bath, and have even considered making a lavender lemonade one day.

Thank you for your article on EO self care, I absolutely love EO they are so very uplifting. 7/26/2017 07:18:51 pm
I totally agree, Amber! I can't believe how many uses there are for essential oils, from relaxation and stress relief to cleaning and cooking. I feel like I could write so many more articles about them! :) Thanks for reading! 7/26/2017 07:26:15 pm
The app is great! It helps you to learn slowly because there are so many things to do with essential oils, it can feel a bit overwhelming (and exciting) at times. I hope you find it helpful! :)
I love my dT oils, too. :) I'm not sure what I would do without Serenity... We certainly wouldn't be having a very happy day over here without it! ;)~ 7/26/2017 07:53:27 pm
Hi Laura! So glad to hear you're enjoying doTERRA, as well. :) And that's a good question about the best platform to use for a webinar. I actually have not hosted my own webinar so far. My mentor uses Zoom but I know there are a lot more out there. I think it might depend on how interactive you would like it (chat box or actually seeing other participants on video). Let me know what you decide to try out! 7/26/2017 07:54:46 pm
That's great to hear that you're enjoying doTERRA, Tammy! :) Thanks for your comment. 7/27/2017 05:00:37 pm
Hi Ingrid! I'm glad this article was useful for you. :) Take care! 7/27/2017 05:02:13 pm
So glad to hear you enjoy doTERRA, Belinda - and those are great oils to use especially during those months when everyone seems to get sick. 7/27/2017 01:46:43 pm
Second post I read on your blog. I really enjoy it so far! (I haven't try yet to make my own lavender soap but I want to!!!) This post is interesting. I didn't know "wild orange" as essential oil before; and I am using a lot of oils already. Unfortunately, I know only their name in France except for Tea Tree ;) If I could try one now it would be the Serenity one. I don't think I've seen it in France.. 7/27/2017 05:07:32 pm
Hi Nella, I'm glad you have returned to the blog! I checked the doTERRA portal and it looks like Serenity is available in Europe in case you did want to try it out. :) Hope to see you at the blog again soon, take catr! 7/28/2017 11:26:08 am

Yes, I completely agree, Chelsea.. putting the diffuser on with calming lavender essential oil makes the room feel completely more relaxed. Thanks for reading! :)

I love essential oils you can use them for so many things 7/28/2017 11:28:51 am
Yes, that's so true! I am trying to figure out what scent to use for my next batch of soap.. I'm thinking the Wild Orange would be lovely and an energizing smell. :) 7/28/2017 11:30:23 am

That sounds lovely, Cheryl! I had not thought about Vanilla EO, I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the tips! 7/28/2017 08:52:11 pm
Omg. I was reading, and then I came across the oregano essential oil, and I was like... no way! It is one of my favourite condiments, mostly because of the smell, and it brings me so many memories from where I come from... 7/29/2017 03:55:03 pm
Hi there! I'm so glad you found this article helpful. :) If you're interested in other uses for Oregano EO, check out my other website/blog as I'll be featuring some recipes soon! Here is the link: www.cookingwithessentialoils.ca 7/28/2017 11:13:39 pm
I have so many friends who swear by essential oils and I've never tried them!! These were some great tips on how to use certain ones, im interested to try them out and see what I think. 7/29/2017 03:57:51 pm
Hi Laney, I'm glad to hear you're interested in getting started with essential oils. I started out by trying some samples and I fell in love with them instantly!

Yes, and unlike air fresheners, they're all natural! I have a cat in a small apartment and using the essential oils has been a huge change in the air quality! :) Thanks for your comment, Karen - take care!

This is a great article. It is a great reminder of how we need to get back to making time to pamper ourselves. I love taking a peppermint oil mixture and massaging my scalp with it before I shampoo. 7/29/2017 04:01:34 pm
That's a great idea on how to use Peppermint EO - I have also heard that it's great for headaches or easing tension. I'm going to have to start using it instead of so much lavender. :) Thanks for your comment, Meladee! 7/29/2017 03:32:19 pm
This post made me so happy because you use doTERRA! I'm a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA and use my oils religiously! I love them so much and all natural remedies are my fav. <3 7/29/2017 04:08:57 pm
Hi Kimberly! It's so nice to connect with other Wellness Advocates. doTERRA is just awesome. I am quite new but I am finding new ways to use the oils every day. It feels so nice to replace so many household items with natural oils. Thanks for stopping by the blog! :) 7/29/2017 11:07:25 pm
Hi Amy! So glad to hear that you are starting to use essential oils. It can be tough to know how to use them all or where to start (I'm learning something new every day). If you are interested in a free consultation to talk more about how to use essential oils or if I can answer any questions you might have, let me know - I'm happy to help. :) 7/30/2017 05:15:42 pm
This was very helpful! I love to use lavender and peppermint for my migraines but don't know much outside that about EOs. I always like learning more how I can use them. 8/19/2017 06:14:41 pm
I'm glad to hear this post was helpful for you, Amanda. I have heard how beneficial peppermint can be for headaches. If you're wanting more information or a one-on-one consultation to talk more about how essential oils could be helpful for you, let me know! 3/9/2020 12:36:45 pm
