Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint

Three of my favorite essential oils. I have all of these by my bedside, in the kitchen, and every room in my house, in my car, in our trailer. If you don't know what essential oils to start with, these three are the ones. 

I love drinking lemon in my water and putting drop of lavender on my pillow and a drop or two of peppermint to get me started in the morning. Just to name a few and below are tons of other great uses. Enjoy! These three essential oils are the introductory trio from doTERRA. 

Do you know that the 3 oils from the introductory kit can already provide you with a myriad of essential oil uses? Not only are they handy to bring along, but they are also the essential ones to have at home for the family. How well do you know your Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint?
