They have replaced so many products in our homes – from cleaning and cooking products to beauty items and some products in our medicine cabinets. There are many ways to use essential oils and in today’s blog post I’ll talk about the uses of one awesome brand – DoTERRA. We will take a look at the different applications of the DoTERRA home essentials kit which contains the most popular doTERRA oils. Let’s get started, shall we?
Lavender
To get those much-needed z’s and a restful night’s sleep, add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your pillow or at the bottom of your feet. You can also use lavender to soothe skin irritations by applying a few drops of this oil to 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil. Mix it and rub it gently to the irritated area. You can also add a few drops to the water in your bath for a more relaxing experience.
On Guard
If you want to remove odors from your car but don’t want to use chemicals, add a few drops of On Guard to your car’s cabin air filter to solve the problem. You can also gargle with a few drops of this essential oil to help soothe your irritated throat.
Lemon
DoTERRA lemon essential oil is a great choice if you want to make your own teeth whitener. Just mix a few drops of lemon oil, coconut oil, and baking soda – rub it on your teeth for 2 minutes and rinse. Another great use of this piece of the DoTERRA home essentials kit is removing grease from your hands after working on your bike or car.
