Modern Essentials® Handbook, 15th Edition: Experience Matters!

Introducing the 15th edition of the Modern Essentials® Handbook: The Premier Introductory Guide to Essential Oils. Of course, the 15th edition includes all new products up through the 2023 dōTERRA^® convention. But that hardly scratches the surface.

We’ve fine-tuned our format and content over the course of 15 years. That’s as long as dōTERRA^® itself has been around—and more than 50 percent longer than our closest competitor has even existed!

While other publishers may promote their guides for EO novices and veterans, only the Modern Essentials^® Handbook offers an in-depth “basics” section providing an easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive foundation that truly serves both learners and teachers alike.

Our single oils section contains current usage recommendations based on the latest scientific research—with studies noted for each of the 77 oils.* Here’s a sample entry:

Each of the 48 blend entries in the Modern Essentials® Handbook also includes common primary uses, application icons, and safety data. Here’s what that looks like:

All oils, blends, supplements, and personal products are fully integrated into our user-friendly Personal Usage Guide containing hundreds of health conditions—physical, mental, and emotional. Check out these examples:
