I was given the doTerra Introductory Kit (Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon) and was super excited when this package arrived in my mailbox! I am constantly researching natural remedies, recipes and other ways to keep my family healthy. I love to use natural herbs, vitamins, essential oils and homemade products to build health in my home.
I am completely impressed by the wealth of information provided in the doTerra catalog, alone. From start to finish there are ideas and directions for doTerra essential oils and other amazing doTerra products in your home.
My five year old son struggles every night to calm down to sleep. While listening to the introductory CD it was mentioned to rub a few drops of Lavender Oil on the feet or back of neck before sleep and it works! My son enjoys the scent and definetly calms down more quickly. The Peppermint is great for a quick pick me up or to clear out nasal passages. The Lemon is perfect for natural homemade cleaners. So many more ideas in the catalog and Introductory Kit!
The research and work that has been put into these products makes it obvious that the product is one of quality and purity that I can trust and use with my family. And if that’s not enough…WOW, do they smell good!
What I Liked:
- The products and catalog have an enormous amount of information on how to incorporate essential oils as a health care alternative.
- This is a product I can use in my home EVERYDAY!
- The research and science ensures an all natural essential oil that is safe for my family. That is so important to me!
What I didn’t Like:
- Honestly, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like. Only that the few essential oils I tried made me REALLY want more. Seriously addicting, I can’t stop smelling them! 🙂

About Kelly
I’ve been looking for a new place to buy EO’s. I’ll have to check out this company!
We use oils a lot already. I like peppermint for soothing upset stomachs and lavender for stopping a runny nose.
We use essential oils in our laundry, in skin products, and around the house.
I have never tried them but I love the scent of both peppermint and lavender.
I like the use of lavender to help me calm down and fall asleep at night.
Lately I’ve been burning essential oils just for the smells in the house!
My daughter & I have been using Essential Oils to try to get rid of a wart on our foot. We’ve seen some improvement so far, so that’s awesome.
I use EO’s in the laundry, home made cleaning products, salves and more. I just ran out of lavender and mint so it would be perfect if I would win. I never tried lemon before but I would love to.
Lavendar
Just started using essential oils. We use lavender for headaches and calming to help sleep; thieves oil for cold/flu, and others to diffuse. I’m loving using them!! This would be a great win!
I just started using EOs. We have lavender and tea tree. I would love to try peppermint next.
I use lavender oil for headaches and my daughter feels really special if we put a few drops in her bath!
I love putting some essentials oils in with a bath…especially eucalyptus. I also like to use for cleaning!
So far, I’ve only used essential oils in laundry soap, scrubs and lip balm. I’d love to begin using them more!!
Haven’t tried any EOs yet… But they sounds interesting and I would probably try the lavender for relaxation and relief from headaches first.
We’ve used thieves oil for colds. My favorite is lavender for bath & when washing bed sheets.
I just bought peppermint for my daughter’s tummy. I am new using oils and am still a little unsure of which ones to use.
I would like to try the peppermint. I use lavender already to calm myself.
I have never used essential oils, but would like to try. The kit sounds really interesting and they all sound great. Love the peppermint though.
I currently only use essential oils for cleaning and I also have a calming blend I made that I use when my son finds “monsters” in his room

I love essential oils and have used them a lot for colds with my newborn! I love that just diffusing them in the air helps soooo much! I don’t even have to put it on her if I don’t want to.
My sister in law recently started using doTerra and has only had good things to say. I’ve been wanting to try out a few essential oils to make natural house cleaners and air fresheners as holiday gifts and this would be the perfect way to start!
I’m new to EO’s and would love to learn more about how to incorporate them into my family’s life each day. Currently I use them to make the house smell nice, but I want to do more with them for well-being.
I’d love to try the Balance blend!
I have not started using EO yet, but have been researching and would really like to start. Unfortunately right now money is really tight and I would love to win the introductory kit to begin my EO journey. 🙂 I would love to try the Lavendar for sleep/relaxation. I have a hard time relaxing and falling asleep at night.
I incorporate lavendar & peppermint into my headache management routine as a first line of defense before resorting to prescription options
The only way we have ever used them is diffusing Eucalyptus and Peppermint for stuffy noses.
I would use Lavender. This would be my first time to use the oils.
I’ve just started reading about essential oils. I do use tea tree oil in my oil face wash.
I JUST started using essential oils. Peppermint has been my favorite so far 🙂

I can see myself using Lavender frequently! I have yet to start incorporating essential oils into my life because I am just learning about it, but I envision myself using them in the future.
I want to try the lavendar
