However since I have discovered doTerra’s essential oils I decided to have a go at using some of the oils. I chose the doTERRA Wild Orange Oil ~ mainly because I’ve only just started out and my range is limited (although thats changing soon with a few more exciting oils coming ….)Since I wrote this post in 2015 I’ve got the full range of doTERRA Essential Oils and have various recipes on the blog now. Check under the Essential Oils tab…
