Essential Oil Preparedness Chart
People frequently ask: "What essential oils are the most important to have on hand?" There are so many essential oils and blends available that it can be difficult to know what to try first! I hope this chart will assist you in selecting versatile essential oils to cover a wide variety of health concerns for your family's well-being.
The yellow section covers the most basic essential oils that I personally might choose initially. The next selection of oils helps broaden the range of benefits (added oils are bold). The list of oils in the final section is our ultimate Apothecary collection to complete our Essential Oil First Aid Kit. I encourage you to use the blank chart within the PDF file to customize this list to cover the specific concerns for yourself and family.
