dōTERRA Home Essentials kit: what's inside and who it's for
The ten oils and the diffuser in the Home Essentials enrollment kit, what each one is used for day to day, how the price compares with buying separately, and when to choose a different kit.
Home Essentials is the kit most people start with, and for a reason: it is ten full-size bottles of the oils that get used every day, plus a diffuser, at a price per bottle that is hard to match. Here is what is actually in the box and how to think about whether it fits you.
What is in the box
Ten 15 ml bottles (Deep Blue comes as 5 ml) and the Laluz ultrasonic diffuser. The enrollment fee is included, so the kit is also your membership.
| Oil | Everyday use |
|---|---|
| Lavender | Evening diffuser, pillow, skin after sun; the one everyone reaches for first |
| Lemon | Morning diffuser, a drop in water, cleaning sprays |
| Peppermint | Cooling on the temples and neck, in the diffuser at work |
| Tea Tree | Skin blemishes, home cleaning blends |
| Oregano | Very strong; a drop diluted in a capsule or in cooking |
| Frankincense | Skin care, meditation, grounding blends |
| Deep Blue (5 ml) | Massage after training or a long day at a desk |
| Breathe | Bedroom diffuser, chest rub before sleep |
| DigestZen | On the stomach after a heavy meal, in the diffuser when travelling |
| On Guard | Diffuser in autumn, cleaning sprays, a drop in the throat lozenge routine |
The diffuser is small, quiet and runs a few hours on one fill. For most homes one is enough; people buy a second later for the bedroom.
Price: kit vs. separate bottles
The kit is priced below the sum of its parts at wholesale, and the enrollment fee is waived on top of that. In the United States, for example, the kit’s wholesale price is $280 while the same bottles and diffuser bought separately at wholesale come to noticeably more, and the retail total is around $373. Exact figures differ by market and change over time, so check the form for your country before ordering; the ratio, though, is similar everywhere.
Who it fits
The kit fits a household that wants to cover the basics at once: sleep, cleaning, a diffuser in the living room, something for muscles and something for the stomach. If you are buying for one person and want to try before committing, the same ten oils exist in 5 ml bottles as the Family Essentials kit at about half the price. If you already know you want supplements and skin care too, Natural Solutions bundles all of it with a diffuser and gives the biggest total saving.
What people add afterwards
The most common second order after Home Essentials is a second Lavender (it runs out first), a Wild Orange for the diffuser, and a roller bottle set to dilute the oils for children and for skin.
How to order it
Choose your country on the home page; the official enrollment form opens with our enroller number already filled in. In the United States and most of Europe the kit appears in the kit list right after you accept the terms; in other markets you add it on the first-order step. The step-by-step guide shows both screens.
