The Introduction to Essential Oils Kit includes a 5 ml bottle of dōTERRA's Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint essential oils. The presentation box also includes suggested uses and benefits of these three oils. For less than $30, this kit offers a great introduction to doTERRA!!!
Using essential oils aromatically can influence you in a myriad of ways. Traditionally, aromatic usage has been aimed at improving a person’s mood. A better and more stable temperament can have countless benefits on your life, every single day. Direct inhalation of doTERRA’s Elevation or Citrus Bliss first thing in the morning can help you wake up and motivate you to take on the day’s tasks. Diffuse essential oils with distinct top notes such as Eucalyptus and Basil throughout the day to keep you productive at work. A quick breath of Peppermint can give you the boost to make it through a tough workout. Diffusing Lavender or Vetiver at night, or adding a few drops to your pillow, can help you prepare for the restful sleep you require to get through the ensuing day. Using essential oils aromatically can be the boost you need to get through the normal stresses of day-to-day life.
Studies show convincing evidence that simply inhaling the aroma of an essential oil is effective for calming nervous or anxious feelings in a variety of settings.

Did I hear you say that you have never heard of a "beadlet"??? These are so adorable and portable, and there are two kinds!
• doTERRA On Guard Beadlets are my favorite immune builder. These provide the benefits of the On Guard blend of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary in a convenient, tiny little bead form making them simple for travel. It dissolves in your mouth to freshen breath and support the immune system, but if you don't want to taste this oil, you can easily swallow the beads whole. Since I am a teacher and around lots of little kid germs, I keep them in my purse. When you feeling something coming on, take a little bead every hour to boost your body's own immune function naturally. They are great to take a day before boarding an airplane and then throughout your flight. So easy.
• doTERRA’s Peppermint Beadlets deliver an energizing surge of peppermint to wake up your senses. Most people think the peppermint beadlet is just a breath mint, but it is so much more! This compact bead has so many great everyday uses—not only are Peppermint Beadlets convenient, but also they are an easy way to carry your peppermint oil in a non-messy gelatin form. You can deliver the same results of peppermint oil in a handy clean way. Some great uses for theses beadlets in your everyday life are:
—Too much garlic at dinner? Pop a few beadlets for fresh breath.
—Soothe a headache: break a beadlet between your fingers and rub on your temples or forehead to ease a headache.
—Feeling overheated? Pop open a beadlet and massage the oil on the back of your neck. Cools a hot flash right away!
—Motion sickness got you down? Break a few beadlets and rub below your nose and smell.
—Use the beadlet in the morning to awake your senses and open your sinuses.
—Digestive discomfort? Indigestion or heartburn? Swallow a few beadlets or break the beadlets and rub on your stomach or chest and feel the discomfort dissipate.
I love Wild Orange for so many reasons! But here's my top three!!!!
1. It's great in your water, not only because it tastes fabulous, but because it's a wonderful all natural detox!
2. I also love diffusing this in my home! It smells amazing, and it really creates a positive, uplifting environment!
3. Lastly, I love mixing wild orange and peppermint together, rubbing it on my neck, and then inhaling from my hands! It really wakes me up if I'm dragging by enhancing my focus, something I can ALWAYS use!!!!
Good reference chart, especially if you are just beginning to build your oils collection. These pictured (plus Oregano, Breathe, DigestZen, OnGuard Beadlets, and Peppermint Beadlets) are found in the Family Physicians Kit.
dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil is a STAPLE in our household! Especially in the energy sapping summer heat of the South, I find relief by inhaling it straight from the bottle or applying a drop to the back of my neck to help cool me down. It is great to rub on your chest to open airways and improve breathing, on your forehead if you have a headache, and it is a savior for muscle cramps—research has even shown that Peppermint oil decreases your perceived effort (how hard you feel you're working out during training and exercise)—awesome right!! Peppermint oil is high in menthol content; menthol has antispasmodic properties. That means it may relax the muscles in your digestive system, helping with gas, bloating, and tummy aches. (Moms-to-be with morning sickness will find this oil especially necessary!!!) One drop of this oil is the equivalent of 25 cups of peppermint tea! If you're sitting at your desk with the Monday morning blahs (ANY morning blahs!)
Folks who know me well know that I don't wear much makeup. But when I do, I like Bare Minerals. Several months ago when I was in that store, there was a great shade of lip gloss that I really wanted, but I didn't purchase it, because in my mind $20+ for lip gloss is extravagant. And why did they want so much for that lipgloss???? Because it was supposed to Plump Your Pucker! (Yep, same tag line as this graphic!!!!) And the key to that pucker plumper??? (hmmm, say that three times fast...!) You guessed it, peppermint!!!!
HA!!! I am so glad I didn't buy that expensive lip gloss, because now I can make my own pucker plumper lip gloss version just by adding a drop of Peppermint oil!!!!! Cool makeup hack, right?!?!? (Wish you could see the grin on my face right now!!!!)
During the winter months, immune support is so important. Essential oils can help our bodies build natural defenses to seasonal threats.
On Guard, the Protective blend, is one of the most important oils in my essential oil collection. Support your immune system with this amazing blend that smells like Fall. This is made with a blend of oils including Cinnamon, Clove and Wild Orange. The Protective blend supports a healthy immune function and protects against environmental threats. It also supports healthy respiratory function.
Uses: Diffuse for cleansing the air. Add 2-3 drops in a veggie capsule for a quick immune boost. Rub on the bottom of kid’s feet during school season (or any family member for that matter). Add to water for an effect all-purpose cleaner for surfaces. Make your own hand cleanser. Clean with the On Guard Concentrate. Brush your teeth with the Fluroide-free On Guard toothpaste to freshen breath and reduce plaque while whitening teeth - make it part of every day! See the pictures below for ways to use On Guard in your daily routine!
I LOVE the taste of the toothpaste, and I keep the beadlets in my purse all the time for when I feel a sore throat coming on!
