Before I get to my five favorite doTERRA essential oils, let’s talk a little bit about the Family Physician Kit
After receiving my doTERRA Family Physician Kit for the first time, I wasn’t quite sure where to start with all the oils that were included. There were so many oils and I honestly felt slightly overwhelmed. I quickly discovered that the best place to start was actually using the oils and experiencing how your body responds to each one. There is information included with the package that arrives that helps you get started. There is also great information available on the doTERRA website and blog and the Modern Essential Book that you can purchase on Amazon for around $28.00
The Family Physician Kit is a collection of ten nurturing essential oils, including six single oils and four blends. The stunning box includes tips for using the oils, as well as an audio CD featuring dōTERRA’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David K. Hill. In this audio presentation, Dr. Hill teaches listeners how to care for their family’s everyday health needs with simple and safe methods using the ten essential oils included in this kit. the kit Includes 5 ml bottles of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Melaleuca, Oregano, Frankincense, Deep Blue, Breathe, DigestZen, and On Guard.
The Family Physician Kit is the best way to experience doTERRA Essential Oils. It retails for $166.67, but if you join doTERRA as a Wellness Advocate, you pay the wholesale price of $150.00 and doTERRA pays the $35.00 enrollment fee for you! You also receive a bonus oil “Slim & Sassy”. You don’t have to join as a business. Becoming a member allows you to buy your oils at wholesale prices and that will save you money. Plus you can join the Loyalty Rewards Program as an added benefit and accumulate points that you can use as cash towards purchases. Click here if you would like to join.
Now that I have been using the oils daily for the last few weeks, I definitely have some favorites. It is amazing how your body knows what oils it needs at the time it needs it, so you too will quickly discover your favorite oils.
1) Peppermint
Peppermint is popular in countless forms, from toothpaste to chewing gum. As an essential oil, it is useful to ease breathing and as a digestive aid. For aromatic, topical, or dietary use.
I have used Peppermint for headaches and as part of the protocol I use to treat my son’s ADHD tendencies as well as his itchy throat in the mornings. I apply just one drop to either my forehead for headaches and one drop below the neck for my son’s itchy throat.
Peppermint retails for $27.33 for the 15ml bottle, but you receive 25% off that price if you join as a wellness advocate. This bottle will last over a month with daily use…..all you need is a drop at a time.
2) Whisper
Whisper is definitely a women’s blend. It is a perfect balance of several essential oils unified to impart beauty, femininity, and allure. Containing rose, jasmine, bergamot, cinnamon, cistus, vetiver, ylang ylang, cocoa, vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli. Whisper’s subtle fragrance, once applied, mingles with your individual scent to enhance the essence that is all your own. For topical or aromatic use.
Whisper retails for $32 for the 5ml bottle, but as a Wellness Advocate you receive 25% off retail. Whisper would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift for mom, or a teacher, or any other special mom in your life.
3) Serenity
Stress is a major contributor to illness and disease, in fact, it is estimated that more than 90% of all visits to health care professionals are related to stress. Serenity is a blend composed of individual oils with known calming properties which create a sense of well-being and relaxation. Lavender, sweet marjoram, roman chamomile, ylang ylang, sandalwood and vanilla bean create a subtle aroma ideal for aromatic diffusion or topical application. Applied to the bottom of the feet at bedtime, Serenity is an excellent way to promote restful sleep. Added to a warm bath Serenity creates the perfect escape with its peaceful, renewing fragrance. For topical or aromatic use.
Serenity retails for $40 for the 15ml bottle, but as a Wellness Advocate you receive 25% off the retail price. This is a great gift to yourself or anyone you know who might be experiencing stress.
4) Slim and Sassy
Slim & Sassy® Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals. Slim & Sassy includes a blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon essential oils. Just add 8 drops to 16 oz. of water (regular size bottle of water) and drink between your healthy meals throughout the day to help manage hunger, calm your stomach, and lift your mood. For aromatic, topical, and dietary use
Slim & Sassy retails for $32.67 but as a Wellness Advocate you receive 25% off the retail price. Slim and Sassy is great to help you reach your weight loss goal
5) Lavender
Lavender, doTERRA’s most popular oil, has been cherished for its unmistakable aroma and its therapeutic properties for thousands of years. Lavender is widely used and accepted for its calming and relaxing qualities. For topical, aromatic, or dietary use. I use it as part of the treatment protocol for my son’s ADHD tendencies. I place one drop on his back each night before bed and massage it in. He is usually very well rested in the mornings. I also use it for minor skin irritations
Lavender retails for $28 for the 15ml bottle, but as a Wellness Advocate you receive 25% off retail prices.

Peppermint is one my favorite scents in the world. My little man hasn’t been diagnosed with ADHD, but he does have a ton of trouble focusing, so this might be something I want to look into.
I do a lot of different oils. Peppermint is one of the top ones I do.
Hmmm I’ve never heard of these. They definitely sound like something I need to look into. Thanks!
I have never tried essential oils. I have been told numerous occasions that we should- maybe this is a sign…
I use Young Living oils, but I love the Peppermint as well. It’s amazing how quickly it can help a headache or a tummyache!
My sister swears by peppermint for her headaches, even helps her migrains! Thanks for sharing!
I love the smell of peppermint. It helps with so many things! Great post!
I have actually tried a few doTerra essential oils before. I like them as well! I haven’t tried your favorites though!
I love using essential oils in my home too! I use Young Living brand and have seen a huge improvement in our overall home health. Great gift idea for mothers day.
I’m really intrigued by this and the natural medicine it hails from. The earth can heal!
these are some great oils, I always am looking for natural medicine, and I would love to try them.
Oils are so popular now! I’d love to try some and see how they work.
I’ve been hearing so much about essential oils lately. I’ve been very stressed, I need to try that Serenity oil!
Serenity would be the perfect fit for me, more relaxing time with lavender, chamomile is always welcome.
Ohh I need the one that helps you not eat between meals. Sounds awesome!
I love using essential oils, however I am not a fan of DoTerra. But I think it is great you are learning to use essential oils!
I’m with “the other company” but am glad you are oiling! They have really changed our lives.
These sound great! Anything to stay away from medicine is wonderful. I try to use natural products as much as I can. Will be checking this out!
I have some of their oils, and i LOVE them! They’re perfect for scenting myself like perfume, lol.
These sound great! I love the scent of Lavender! I’m so glad they’re working out for you! Thank you for sharing!!
I need to do more with essential oils. Thanks for the descriptions!
I like the idea of using natural oils instead of just popping a pill to solve a problem. I have not used essential oil and know very little about them. You have enlightened me.
I love essential oils. Popping the lid reminds me of the spa no matter what the actual purpose is. That alone de-stresses me.
Peppermint and Lavender are staples I always have my my EO cupboard at all times. There are so many amazing uses for them! Amber E.
Has this been effective for your son’s ADHD?
I haven’t used these kind of oils before, but now want to after reading your reviews.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve used their peppermint oil for my headaches, and it works wonderfully!
I would also like to follow along about how this is helping your son?
That is great they have made up a Family Physician Kit! It has all the essentials:=)
The peppermint and lemon would be my two favorite flavors. I find peppermint especially invigorating!
I love these posts! I so want to try the Slim and Sassy ha!
Ooo, I like the sound of that Slim & Sassy one!
I have also used peppermint for headaches and I have found that it is very effective.
These sound great. Finals are coming up for me pretty soon so Serenity sounds absolutely perfect right now.
I loved learning about all these oils and all their uses. I have to try them out.
I never thought about essential oils but do like having lavender or peppermint near my work station. It makes for a more relaxing day.
I’ve heard so much lately about how much essential oils really can do. I knew they were beneficial, but I didn’t realize all of the awesome things they can do for our health.
I don’t use essential oils but I do like nice smelling things!
I love the smell of lavender. It is so very relaxing!
I had a friend send me some essential oils to test out, she knew I wanted to try them but could not afford to invest in them. I love that she sent me the peppermint as well as lavender. They are the only ones I have gotten to try so far but I am happy to say – they work. I can not wait until things settle down for us so I can get more to use.
I have always been fascinated by these oils, but I have also been skeptical about if they work. I need to try these. They sound awesome!
I love that it offers a selection of oils. That way you can find which ones you like best.
I am just getting into doTerra oils via my sister. I can attest to the amazing things I have seen them do!
I love using Lavender spray on my pillow before bed. Great tips.
I just started using essential oils and was surprised by how well they worked!
I didn’t know Melaleuca oil was good for things. I remember them being difficult to eradicate (the trees) in Florida, and they always had a bad rap attached to them. It’s nice to hear they do have a positive purpose too.
As much as I like Lavender for relaxing I think I would love the Slim & Sassy best.
i love those oils. i used to be so into essential oils i don’t know why i got away from it
I’ve heard a lot about oils lately… I’d love to know more!
I have heard so much about essential oils lately. I really want to learn more about them.
That’s really interesting. I never thought about using oils rather than the regular moisturizers and creams. But it makes perfect sense that it would be so nutritious to the skin!
Have heard nothing but great things about DoTerra. I’ve got some and have yet to try them.. #fail
I’d like to try the slim and sassy. I never heard about the peppermint and ADHD connection- interesting.
Thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge! I’m definitely curious about essential oils
Lavendar has to be one of my favorites. I love the calming effect. Thanks for breaking them down!
I would love to have this for mother’s day present! What a beautiful presentation and essential oils make for a great ambience.
I love essential oils! I’ve heard great things about doTerra. Peppermint is one of my favorites, works great for headaches!
A friend of mine swears by rubbing peppermint oil on her kids’ feet when they’re sick. She says it has great healing abilities.
My friend is selling this as well. I real love their oils and they even have cleaning supplies
All these essential oil scents sound amazing. I’ll have to try this someday
I have been hearing so much about essential oils lately, but I have never tried them. I guess it’s about time!
I bet I would like the Peppermint doTerra! I need to check it out. I keep hearing about how great they are.
I’ve heard of doTerra but don’t know a whole lot about essential oils. Thanks for explaining what each does!
Peppermint and lavender would be my faves. I really need to start on this with my family
