Common Ailments
As you can see, dōTERRA essential oils support a huge range of ailments. Whether you use them topically, aromatically or through ingestion, you can draw on many health benefits. The best way to understand how to do this effectively and safely, is to grab a copy of The Modern Essentials Book; it’s not a dōTERRA book, but it’s widely used as it contains information on every single oil and oil blend – personally, this is my go-to oil bible and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
