Simple Recipes for Everyday Oils
Easy blends you can make at home. Oil names are doTERRA singles and blends. Start with one that excites you.
A few safety basics: Dilute with a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil. Patch test new oils. Use less for kids and sensitive skin. Citrus oils can increase sun sensitivity, so avoid direct sun for 12 hours after use. This is education only, not medical advice.
