For
Organizing
YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS
COLLECTION
A
s you expand your dōTERRA essential oil collection, organizing and admiring your precious
oil bottles can be one of the most relaxing and therapeutic activities. It’s empowering to re-
alize what each essential oil you own can do for you and your family. How many of you had pur-
chased a kit and ended up only using a couple of oils not knowing what to do with the rest? This
is a good time for you to challenge yourself to explore the benefits of those dust-covered oil bot-
tles. Here are a few tips to get you started with organizing your essential oils in a way that’s both
useful and beautiful, but most importantly that works best for you.
First thing first, decide how and where you would like to store and display your essential oil bottles—
whether you purchase special essential oil wood boxes, or create your own storage space. Put all of
your essential oils out so you can see them all at once. Then, select your favorite.

ALPHABETICAL ORDER CAP STICKER COLOR
Arrange your single oils and essential oil blends
in alphabetical order. Refer to the product guide
section in the back for a complete alphabetical
list of dōTERRA essential oils and blends. Use dōTERRA essential oil bottle cap stickers to
color coordinate the oils based on the colors of
the stickers—this system is especially satisfying
if you have a slightly meticulous personality,
and you find great enjoyment from color
coordinating everything you see.
Oil Chemistry Wheel
ESSENTIAL OIL PROPERTIES INDIVIDUAL ROOM
Separate oils based on their properties found on
the dōTERRA Properties Wheel. For example,
there are essential oils with calming properties
such as Lavender and Roman Chamomile, and
most citrus oils will have uplifting properties. For convenient access, place essential oils that
you are likely to use in your kitchen, bathroom,
kids room, laundry room etc. You can hang a
display shelf in your living room with a diffuser
and your favorite essential oils blends—this is
good a way to incorporate essential oils into
your home décor.
What to do with extra essential oil bottles? If you find opened duplicates, you can carefully
pour them into one bottle. Use unopened bottles as a giveaway on your social media page or a
giveaway at your next dōTERRA essential oil class.
