We who depend on natural products to keep our homes and families running smoothly value our favorite tried and true oils. We’ve experienced how they help us respond readily to a variety of situations. This high value is largely due to the protective qualities of dōTERRA® essential oils, which are an easy arm’s reach away whenever the need arises to bolster our bodies’ defense systems. Read on to find out how to start mixing and matching some of your favorite protective essential oils to target the areas in your home that need it most!

When you start the day with your yoga or calisthenics routine, get limbered up with the following blend floating from your favorite diffuser:

Morning Stretch

4 drops Frankincense

3 drops Peppermint

2 drops Lavender

After the morning stretch, it might be time to get down to some cleaning. In addition to actually wiping down surfaces with various protective essential oils, diffuse the following blend to fill your living space with freshness.

Sparkling Home

5 drops Lavender

5 drops Tea Tree

2 drops Lemon

And finally, for a cool break that is both refreshing and defense-boosting, blend and enjoy this Cool Response Smoothie!

1 cup orange juice

½ cup lemon juice

½ cup chopped pineapple

1 tablespoon raw honey

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 piece ginger or 1-2 drops Ginger

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

1-2 drops Peppermint

Oils such as Bergamot and Copaiba may have less of a household name, but they are no less effective. Give these guys a chance to join the essential team by adding them to blends where they can shine: make Bergamot a key ingredient in a holistic calming blend that includes Frankincense and Lavender, and use Copaiba anytime you need to relax, ground, or uplift.

Use dōTERRA’s most loved protective oils to build a ready response team for your family, and watch how well they work together in supporting a healthy home and lifestyle!
