Bright and Cosy Trio dōTERRA | 5 ml

Among dōTERRA essential oils, Madagascar Vanilla stands apart: it is an absolute of Vanilla planifolia combined with fractionated coconut oil. The plant is a climbing orchid with yellow and white flowers: it is the flowers that smell, while the pods are odourless when picked. Each flower is pollinated by hand, the vine takes three to four years before it produces, and the pods need a long curing before the aroma emerges.

Key benefits

• A rich, warm and alluring aroma.
• Promotes a comforting, relaxing atmosphere.
• Moisturises the skin, thanks to the fractionated coconut oil.
• Softens the skin, thanks to the fractionated coconut oil.

Wild Orange essential oil, sold by dōTERRA in Europe under the name Sweet Orange, is one of the most popular oils in the range. It is cold-pressed from the peels, those of one hundred and fifty-four oranges for a 5 ml bottle: the aroma is that of a freshly peeled orange, sweet and tangy.

Key benefits

• Lifts the mood and restores momentum when tiredness sets in.
• Refreshes the skin and brings it soothing qualities.
• Diffused with Frankincense, it creates fresh, clean air.
• Cleans surfaces and chases odours from the home.
• Naturally rich in limonene, which gives it its cleansing properties.

Peppermint essential oil is one of dōTERRA’s best sellers, and one of the three oils the brand recommends for beginners. A hybrid of water mint and spearmint, it is grown in Oregon, where abundant rainfall gives it a high menthol content: the menthol is what makes it so fresh.

Key benefits

• Rich in menthol, which gives it its intense freshness, in the mouth as on the skin.
• Flavours smoothies, desserts, drinks and savoury dishes with a powerful minty taste.
• One drop in a tall glass of water, after a hearty meal.
• Diffused, its minty aroma creates an atmosphere conducive to mental clarity and focus.
• Provides a cooling sensation during a massage, diluted, on the neck and shoulders.
