Essential Oils Easy Guide

Tips for Beginning to Use Essential Oils

Just an app (or book) and a box will do!

I want to get started!

An oil set & an app (or reference book).

My family’s healthcare was forever changed. The majority of my health concerns are now addressed with our oils, and we’ve been able to solve countless challenges that would normally have us running to the doctor. Essential oils have revolutionized my personal care products and beauty routine, too! I’ve found, many times, DIY’s I have made work better than anything from a store.

Why I Use Essential Oils?

For excellent reason, plants have a long history of healing usage.
They’re natural, effective, and multi-purpose. If that isn’t a recipe for a busy mom’s best friend, I don’t know what is!
Essential oils are 50-70x more powerful than herbs.
You only need one to two drops at a time because they are so strong, which makes them very inexpensive to purchase.

There is such freedom in knowing that I have the tools right at my fingertips to care for my family. I have no guilt because I know that these are the most pure and natural products available in the world to use on my children. –Karolyn @yourheavenlyhome

Why Choose doTERRA:

Every year it seems many new essential oil brands and businesses enter the market. How confusing! Over the years, I have looked at various other brands, but doTERRA oils are the only ones I will use. Make sure the essential oils you use are of high quality. Using a “bargain brand” without seeing any improvement is likely due to a combination of factors.

doTERRA is committed to sourcing the best oils in the world, direct from the grower, through ethical sourcing practices and places great value on the expert knowledge of local farmers. Our oils are unique and unrivaled.

Each batch of doTERRA essential oil undergoes seven different testing procedures by a third-party laboratory and surpasses USDA organic standards. You can even see the GC/MS reports for your bottle by typing in the code from the bottom here.

doTERRA is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to doTERRA’s oil production and making sure they are treated ethically.

3 Secrets for Using Essential Oils

A small amount goes a long way. This rule holds true whether you apply the oils externally, aromatically, or inwardly (yes, I use all three ways).

Oils can also be used in the barnyard or garden–think fly sprays, pest control sprays, relaxing animals, and surface cleaning… It’s truly amazing all the ways and places they can help out!

You probably will not get what you want if you purchase inexpensive oils from the health food store or Amazon. Cheap health food store oils are frequently contaminated and adulterated, and numerous “brand name” Amazon goods have been proven to be fake.

“dōTERRA has truly changed my life! A few years ago, I ditched pharma and toxic products, choosing dōTERRA as my wellness partner—and it was the best decision ever! With dōTERRA, you don’t just get pure oils; you get education, community, and a personal wellness coach. No other brand offers that! Today, I am thriving—mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially. The true cost of cheap oils vs. dōTERRA’s purity? There’s no comparison!” 🌿✨– Sachie @oilfull_Life

How I’ve Saved A Lot of Money Over the Years

# 1. I immediately realized that I would save a ton of money by beginning with a bundled kit of the most adaptable oils after comparing the costs of all the oils I initially wanted. This provided a wide range of possibilities for experimentation.

# 2. In order to get future oils and refills at a significant discount, I set up a wholesale account. You may be apprehensive about the concept of a wholesale “membership,” but when you understand it’s similar to Costco (pay a small annual fee and then order whenever and whatever you want).

# 3. In order to determine EXACTLY how to use what I had just purchased, I immediately got a reference book. I could not afford to let them lie on the shelf and gather dust! That is a waste of money. Today there is also a simple reference app called EoEbooks!

How You Can Get Started:

By selecting a bundle of oils that includes a complimentary wholesale membership, you’ll get the most bang for your buck, save big on all future purchases, and get access to our team resources, mentoring, and support. These team resources and mentoring will help you gain confidence using your new oils when you start with the Home Essentials Kit (or other kit of equal or greater value)!

What’s the difference between ‘wholesale customer’ and ‘wellness advocate’?

What’s the difference between ‘wholesale customer’ and ‘wellness advocate’?

A Wholesale Customer is someone who enjoys full wholesale pricing (25% off), their own account dashboard, and all the perks and free products possibilities that come with being a doTERRA member. However, a wholesale customer can NOT receive compensation or commissions for sharing doTERRA products with others. A Wellness Advocate has the same discount and perks as a wholesale customer. The difference is that a Wellness Advocate has the possibility of sharing oils with others and earning an income. One is not necessarily better than the other, it just depends on what you are interested in. If you are not sure, I suggest starting as a Wholesale Customer, as you can always upgrade (for FREE!) to a Wellness Advocate later.

What if I want to start with other products (not a kit)?

No problem! The wholesale membership (think Costco or Sam’s Club) is $35 on its own, and then you are free to order whatever individual oils or products you’d like at wholesale prices. However, most folks start with a kit because a) the membership fee is automatically included b) the kits give you an even better deal than wholesale pricing alone.

If I sign up with a wholesale account, do I have to sell the oils?

No, is not a requirement, nor will we bug you about it. If you do want to share oils at some point, you will need to upgrade (it’s free) to a Wellness Advocate membership.

How do I save money on future orders?

In addition to the wholesale membership option, doTERRA has a number of ways to get oils for reduced prices, or even for free! I highly, highly recommend the Loyalty Rewards Program– this is a free, optional program, but when combined with your wholesale membership, can give you up to 55% back on every oil you purchase. In the years I’ve been with doTERRA, I’ve redeemed over a thousand dollars in FREE oils from using this program! doTERRA also offers various promotions throughout the year and gives away free oils and products with qualifying orders.
