Top 13 Essential Oils for Cooking
There are so many ways to use essential oils, but one thing that makes doTERRA essential oils unique is the ability to use many of them internally.
This is due uniquely to the Purity of doTERRA essential oils. I talk a little bit about that in the short 90-second video below…
If you check the back of other oils from the supermarket or health food stores, it will say “not for consumption”. Right there you know they are not pure...they may be cut with other components to make them more cost effective for the supplier, or they may not even have the plant in them at all (chemically formulated in a lab to only smell like that plant).
On the other hand, doTERRA oils have many that are on the FDA's “GRAS” list (Generally Recognized as Safe). And because of 3rd party testing you can trust there is nothing in them other than the plant you would eat.
So did you know you can cook with doTERRA oils?
Let's talk about the benefits of this which include:
👉 Concentrated (more bang for your buck than dried or fresh herbs…will save you tons of money on spices)
👉 Health benefits
👉 Enhancing flavor of food
👉 Convenience & safety
Oils like Madagascar Vanilla, Basil, Thyme, Lemon, Ginger, etc. are just a few great examples of delicious & beneficial oils to add to foods & even beverages. Of course, we encourage you check each & every bottle for directions on their use, as some are not meant to be consumed—like Wintergreen, for example.
Because doTERRA oils are tested & retested for their consumption safety, you know you’re getting the best quality. This is huge. Many companies add fillers & substitutions to enhance the scent & quantity of the oil, making them dangerous to ingest.
Since the oils themselves are highly concentrated, you really only need a few drops to gain the taste & full benefit of them.
Another important thing to keep in mind is diluting your oils in some form of lipid—like olive, coconut, or another vegetable based oil. Diluting makes it safe to consume the essential oil, but also helps with dispersing it throughout the dish for better flavor.

Another way to internalize the benefits & taste of essential oils is through your beverages.
Personally, I drink a ton more water when I add a yummy citrus oil to it. Just add a few drops to a full cup of filtered water, stir a few times, & enjoy!
This also helps your body's natural detox organs (the liver & kidneys) to do their job better. You can add just the oil, or also the fruit as pictured below…
