Note: This list was compiled by members of my essential oils group on Facebook. I do not have personal experience with each and every use listed below, but am personally connected to the folks who provided these tips. If you have a question, I’ll do my best to track down the answer.
Please keep in mind this regulatory statement released by doTERRA in October, 2014: We recognize essential oils have profound health benefits, but it is important we not make claims that would position our products as drugs. For example, recommending an essential oil to cure a particular disease would be considered a drug claim. dōTERRA does not claim our products cure or treat…any disease.
