Ever stared at your essential oil bottles and thought, “What now?” You’re not alone! That question is exactly what inspired our most recent class: 100 Uses for Essential Oils—and what a class it was!
Whether you’re brand new to essential oils or you’ve got a collection that rivals a small apothecary, this class was designed to take your oil use from hesitant to heck yes!
We laughed, we learned, we sniffed, we blended—and yes, we discovered dozens of ways to stop letting our oils gather dust and start letting them do the work they were made to do.
🌿 What We Covered: A Quick Recap
Our class was based on the super-handy guide 100 Uses for Essential Oils, and WOW—there’s a lot packed into that little booklet. Here’s how we broke it down in class:
✨ The Three Main Ways to Use Oils
Aromatic: Think diffusers, room sprays, and breathing in oils straight from your hands. We demoed some mood-boosting blends and even made a linen spray!
Topical: From head tension to bug bites to glowing skin—applying oils directly (with proper dilution) is a game-changer.
Internal: Yep, you can safely take some oils internally! Think Lemon in your water or DigestZen in a veggie cap for those tricky tummy days.
🌀 10 Everyday Categories That Covered It All:
We walked through 10 main areas where essential oils shine—and how YOU can put them to work in your everyday life:
Aromatic Use – Create uplifting or calming environments with just a few drops.
Topical Use – Rollers, massage blends, and tension-targeting tricks.
Internal Use – Gentle ways to support your immune and digestive systems.
Cooking – Elevate flavor and health with oils like Basil, Lemon, and Cinnamon.
Cleaning – Safe, non-toxic DIYs that leave your space sparkling and fresh.
Wellness – Think immunity, energy, and overall vitality.
Sleep – Because we all deserve better rest. Serenity, Lavender, and Roman Chamomile, anyone?
Hygiene + Personal Care – Ditch the chemicals and love your body with natural swaps.
Fitness – From pre-workout motivation to post-workout muscle love.
Mood Management – Oils that support emotional balance and mental clarity.
And yes—every single one of those had real-life, practical, doable tips. Plus, participants went home with their very own 100 Uses for Essential Oils handout to keep the inspiration going.

Hormones can feel like the invisible puppeteers behind our mood, energy, weight, skin, sleep, and even our sense of identity. When they’re in balance, life flows. But when they’re not? Cue the irritability, fatigue, brain fog, breakouts, night sweats, or roller-coaster emotions. Whether you’re navigating puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, or the pressures of daily life, hormonal harmony is essential for thriving—not just surviving.
What if there were natural, effective tools to help you feel like you again?
Support from the Inside Out: Nutrition and Supplementation for Hormone Balance
True hormonal balance begins at the table. The body needs a wide variety of nutrients to produce hormones, regulate the endocrine system, and support detox pathways that clear out excess estrogen, cortisol, and other hormone byproducts.
Research shows that the following whole foods can naturally support hormonal harmony:
Cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale) contain compounds such as indole-3-carbinol, which help the liver metabolize estrogen more efficiently (Snyder, 2019).
Healthy fats from avocados, nuts, seeds, and wild-caught fish provide the building blocks for sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (Lawton & Hintze, 2020).
Leafy greens and whole grains support adrenal function by supplying B vitamins and magnesium—key nutrients depleted by chronic stress (Snyder, 2019).
Fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir promote gut health, which is essential for mood regulation and estrogen detoxification (doTERRA, 2024).
Antioxidant-rich fruits such as berries, pomegranate, and citrus support cellular health and reduce inflammation, which can impair hormone production (Hintze & Lawton, 2020).
Even with the cleanest diet, modern stress, soil depletion, and digestive issues can make it hard to absorb and utilize all the nutrients our bodies need. That’s where targeted, high-quality supplementation comes in.
VMG+ Whole-Food Nutrient Complex: Essential vitamins and minerals from whole foods, formulated for optimal absorption and bioavailability.
EO Mega+ Complex: A blend of marine- and plant-sourced omega fatty acids with essential oils to support brain, cardiovascular, and joint health.
PB Restore ProBiome Complex: Promotes gut health, which is closely tied to mood, immunity, and hormonal balance.
Together, these tools lay the groundwork for hormonal harmony, helping you absorb and respond to the benefits of essential oils even more effectively. This trio supports cellular function, immune regulation, and the body’s ability to detox excess hormones, key to restoring energy and equilibrium.
Enter Essential Oils*
Essential oils—especially when sourced for purity and therapeutic benefit like those from doTERRA—can play a vital role in supporting the endocrine system, regulating stress, boosting mood, and easing transitions. Backed by science and endorsed by holistic practitioners, these plant-based powerhouses may be your secret weapon to go from frazzled to fabulous.
Essential Oils for Women: Hormonal Shifts Through the Seasons of Life
Puberty
Puberty brings a surge of estrogen and progesterone, often resulting in breakouts, mood swings, and growing pains—emotionally and physically. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), and Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) can help soothe the nervous system and balance hormones.
Clary Sage contains phytoestrogens, making it particularly helpful for hormone regulation, cramps, and emotional swings (Snyder, 2019).
Lavender supports calm, reduces anxiousness, and aids sleep—critical for developing bodies and minds (Lawton & Hintze, 2020).
Tea Tree (Melaleuca) is a go-to for supporting clear skin, especially when diluted and applied to blemishes.
Prenatal and Postnatal Support
During pregnancy and postpartum, hormones fluctuate dramatically. While not all essential oils are safe during pregnancy, gentle, targeted use can ease nausea, promote sleep, reduce swelling, and uplift mood.
Ginger and Peppermint can help manage morning sickness (Hintze & Lawton, 2020).
Roman Chamomile and Lavenderencourage relaxation and sleep—key to prenatal and postpartum recovery.
Clary Sage may support uterine tone in the final weeks but should be avoided until full term (Snyder, 2019).
These stages bring fluctuating estrogen, hot flashes, insomnia, and brain fog. Enter the powerhouses:
Clary Calm® Monthly Blend for Women is a doTERRA favorite for balancing hormones, easing cramps, reducing heat, and smoothing emotional highs and lows.
Peppermint and Geranium can reduce hot flashes and support temperature regulation (doTERRA, 2024).
Rose, Ylang Ylang, and Jasmine not only support hormone balance but also enhance libido and emotional openness.
For deeper cellular support during this transition, MetaPWR Advantage Lemon-Orange or Pomegranate-Cherry offers a revolutionary way to support collagen, NAD+ production, and metabolic health—all critical to graceful aging, energy levels, and hormone resilience.
Essential Oils for Men: Supporting Balance from Puberty On
Hormone balance is often overlooked in men, but testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, and insulin play critical roles in mood, energy, motivation, and reproductive health. Essential oils offer holistic tools to support mental clarity, stamina, and emotional steadiness.
Puberty and Young Adulthood
With rising testosterone comes increased aggression, oily skin, and sleep disturbances.
Adaptiv® Calming Blend is ideal for high-stress professions or those juggling many roles. It promotes clarity, calm, and adaptability.
Copaiba (taken sublingually or in a softgel) interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to regulate inflammation, ease anxious feelings, and support sleep—key for testosterone production (doTERRA, 2024).
Rosemary essential oil has been shown to stimulate mental clarity and circulation. It may also support hair and scalp health, which some men associate with confidence and self-image (Snyder, 2019).
Thyme essential oil contains thymol, a compound that may support testosterone levels and immune resilience. Apply diluted to the bottoms of the feet or diffuse regularly (Snyder, 2019).
In addition, men benefit from MetaPWR Advantage Lemon-Orange or Pomegranate-Cherry for healthy aging, blood sugar balance, mitochondrial function, and joint support. It’s a powerhouse formula that bridges the gap between peak performance and graceful longevity.
From Frazzled to Fabulous: Practical Tips
No matter your age or stage, here are tools you can begin using today:
Diffuse daily: Try Balance® in the morning and Serenity® in the evening to ground and rest your nervous system.
Roller blends: Use Clary Calm® across the abdomen or inner ankles during your cycle.
Dilute and apply: Add Lavender or Frankincense to your nighttime skincare or to the bottoms of your feet before bed.
Most importantly—listen to your body. Essential oils and nutrients are tools for empowerment, not one-size-fits-all solutions. Pair them with rest, movement, hydration, and joy. Your path to balance may be one drop at a time, but it’s absolutely within reach.
