How to Build Your Own Essential Oils Kit
Basic (beginner friendly) Essential Oils List
Lavender - floral, calming
Peppermint - fresh minty, cooling
Lemon - citrus, cleansing
Tea Tree - camphor scent, medicinal uses
Cedarwood - woodsy, bug repelling
In my experience, these are the best essential oils to start learning with because they are very different from each other and you can get a feel for what they smell like and what the effect will be. As always, some essential oils are not for use during pregnancy, or around children and pets, please seek advice if you are unsure.
Alternative Kit (for sensitive people like me)
Chamomile - gentle floral, calming
Spearmint - mild mint, cooling and calming
Orange - fresh and happy citrus
Lemongrass - clean grassy scent
Rosemary - mild pine, helps clear the mind
Advanced Essential Oils Kit
Rose - romantic floral, has the highest energetic frequency
Basil - cleansing and clarifying
Bergamot - citrus, hard to describe but a common favorite
Sage - earthy scent, may be useful for hormonal changes
Frankincense - woodsy scent, commonly used for thinking and meditation/prayer
Once you become familiar with the basic essential oils it’s fun to add new ones to your collection and learn as you go. When I first started over ten years ago the information was limited and now it seems overwhelming.
