🌿 My Everyday Essentials: How I Use doTERRA’s Top 10 Oils for Myself, My Home & My Family

One of the most common things I hear from people is “But how would I actually use essential oils day-to-day?” And honestly? These beautiful bottles are in constant use in my home – from morning routines to bedtime wind-downs, supporting everything from emotional wellbeing to digestion and immune care.

So let me give you a little peek behind the curtain at how I use doTERRA’s Top 10 Oils in my daily life (and how you can too!).

✨ Lavender – My Sleepy Time Hero

I use this every single night – a drop on my pillow or diffused with Frankincense to help everyone drift off peacefully. It’s also a go-to for skin irritations, bites, or when someone’s feeling a bit frazzled.

✨ Little hack! A gorgeous seasonal allergy roller using Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint is an absolute lifesaver in our home – just 2 drops of each oil in a 10ml roller bottle topped with fractionated coconut oil. I swipe it over pulse points and under the nose – soothing, clearing and calming when the pollen hits!

🍋 Lemon – Morning Motivation

I pop a drop in my water every morning (glass only!) to help gently detox and wake up the system. It’s also a powerhouse for cleaning – think sticky labels, kitchen surfaces, and natural air freshening.

🌱 Peppermint – Pick-Me-Up in a Bottle

Whether it’s brain fog or an afternoon slump, I inhale this straight from the bottle or dab a drop behind my neck. It’s brilliant for head tension or that too-much-food feeling after a big meal.

It’s also one I reach for when supporting a fever – a drop diluted and applied to the soles of the feet or the back of the neck can be wonderfully cooling. And for my lovely clients navigating perimenopausal hot flushes, Peppermint is a total gift – helping the body feel more balanced and refreshed during those sudden temperature surges.

🌼 Frankincense – Liquid Gold

My all-rounder! I use it in my skincare, for emotional balance, and during meditation or Reiki sessions. It enhances the effects of other oils too – I often layer it over Lavender or Deep Blue.

🧡 Tea Tree – Nature’s First Aid

We use this constantly on skin – spots, scrapes, and even as part of our natural cleaning blend. A drop on the toothbrush or in the shampoo keeps everything feeling fresh and clean.

🌾 Oregano – Powerful Protection

This one is potent – I use it diluted (always!) when anyone feels a cold coming on. It’s also fab for cleaning and cooking (hello, Italian herbs!).

🌺 Deep Blue – Muscle Magic

Post-workout or long day on my feet? Deep Blue rub or diluted oil goes straight onto my shoulders, back or legs. Instant soothing!

🔥 On Guard – Immune Warrior

Diffused in the house, on the soles of our feet, or added to hand soap – this blend is our family’s go-to for keeping bugs at bay, especially during the colder months.

🌬 Air – Clear & Calm

Perfect for stuffy noses or heavy heads – we diffuse it at night or rub on the chest with carrier oil. It’s like a breath of fresh air in a bottle.

💧 ZenGest – Tummy TLC

I don’t leave home without this one! A drop rubbed clockwise on the tummy works wonders for bloating, nausea, travel sickness or just that ‘ugh’ feeling after a big meal.
