So you have been hearing a lot lately about essential oils and you are keen to give them a try but not sure where to start!  There are SO many oils and it can be overwhelming if you are a complete novice.  When I started nearly seven years ago I knew very little about essential oils other than that Lavender was calming and Tea Tree was good for healing.

I wasn’t that interested in plant medicine, but a doctor friend highly recommended them so I thought I’d give it a try to see how myself and my family could benefit.  He recommended doTERRA Essential Oils as they are 100% pure, ethically and sustainably sourced from where they grow best in the world.  They are tested for potency and purity, third party tested, are safe, natural, free of contaminants/synthetics/fillers and are incredibly potent.

Getting Started

So I started with the basic Top 10 Kit.  Very soon I was hooked as I discovered how essential oils can support us physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.  I was impressed to learn how they can be used to support our physical health including our immune system, hormones, gut/digestive health, respiratory health and help us manage moods, focus, rest/relax as well as get rid of toxic household products.

It didn't take long for me to make the decision to start sharing with others and to grow an essential oils business (even though in the beginning my husband was not best pleased as it meant me giving up a successful career in environmental consulting). Thankfully it paid off (very well!) and I now teach globally about the benefits of essential oils and have grown a thriving business.

I’ve found that the most popular kit that most people start with is doTERRA’s Home Essentials kit which includes the top 10 most popular oils.

The Top 10

So here is a summary of what these top 10 oils can do. As an added bonus, this kit comes with an ultrasonic diffuser (great for experiencing the aromatic benefits of essential oils including mood support, restful sleep and purifying the air).  When you are ready to get started you can head over to my shop to get started with your own life changing pack.
