When it comes to maintaining good gut health, many individuals turn to natural remedies for support. One such option that has gained significant popularity is the use of doTERRA essential oils. With their powerful properties and potential benefits, doTERRA oils have become a go-to choice for individuals seeking relief from gut-related conditions like Crohn’s disease and colitis.
In this blog, we will delve into the world of doTERRA oils and explore how they can positively impact gut health. So, let’s get started!
The gut, often referred to as the “second brain,” plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. A healthy gut contributes to better digestion, nutrient absorption, and a stronger immune system. Conversely, an imbalanced gut can lead to digestive disorders and weakened immunity. This is where doTERRA essential oils come in, offering natural support for gut health.
doTERRA is a renowned provider of high-quality essential oils sourced from plants and botanicals. These oils are known for their purity and therapeutic properties. When used appropriately, doTERRA oils can address various health concerns, including gut-related issues. Let’s explore some specific doTERRA oils and their benefits for gut health.
Here is a Podcast from doTERRA all on gut health and the benefit of oils, you can listen to!
DigestZen Oil: Promoting Healthy Digestion
DigestZen oil from doTERRA is a unique blend of essential oils specifically formulated to support healthy digestion. It aids in alleviating occasional digestive discomfort, promoting a balanced digestive system, and maintaining overall gut health. With its blend of ginger, peppermint, fennel, and other beneficial oils, DigestZen is a powerful tool for individuals with Crohn’s disease or colitis.
DigestZen is also offered in softgels! The soft gels are really nice to have direct contact with the GI tract. But we normally recommend starting with the oil first and titrating slowly more drops until you can tolerate the soft gels (if you are sensitive)
Zendocrine Oil Blend: Detoxification Support
Detoxification is a crucial aspect of gut health, and the doTERRA Zendocrine oil blend can play a significant role in this process. Composed of tangerine, rosemary, geranium, and other essential oils, Zendocrine helps open detox pathways and supports the body’s natural ability to cleanse itself.
By incorporating Zendocrine into your routine, you can enhance your body’s detoxification process and promote a healthier gut.
Keeping your detox pathways is crucial with IBD for proper elimination and to rid the body of toxins-this is a fantastic option to assist in that regard as it targets multiple detox organs in the body! If you’re looking for this look at Zendocrine soft gels.

Peppermint has long been recognized for its beneficial effects on the digestive system. doTERRA Peppermint Softgels provide a convenient way to harness the power of peppermint for gut health.
These soft gels offer a potent dose of peppermint oil and can be beneficial for individuals dealing with occasional digestive discomfort or bloating, going right to the GI tract.
Those dealing with bloating, heartburn, nausea, or SIBO have been able to find some benefits and a cooling sensation within the body.
Perhaps you can test out a drop of this internally in water (if your healthcare professional agrees) and see how your body tolerates it. It can be a calming and invigorating oil. And many use a drop or two in their water daily to coat the GI tract.

“I have used this product occasionally for several years, whenever I inadvertently or carelessly ate something that causes my ulcerative colitis to flare up. It works every time for me, usually within minutes. It can be used topically or internally. Now that I am watching what I eat very closely I don’t need it as often, but I still use it once in a while and keep it on hand.”- Deanna
“Hell of a lifesaver. Must have. Was to go to work in the morning, but all of a sudden I was nauseous and felt very sick. I was wondering to call in sick. First, I rubbed dz in my belly. After a short time, I felt better. So I made a capsule w dz grapefruit seed extract and oregano. Unbelievably after just 10 min all the symptoms were gone. This is not the first time dz saved me.”- Rosa
“I have been using doTERRA products for years! Definitely an awesome company. Most recently I discovered that their Turmeric supplement utilizes both turmerones and curcuminoids, which makes the curcuminoids even more bioavailable to our bodies so it can help even more!”-Janessa
Yes, certain doTERRA oils like Tummy Tamer oil are formulated to be safe and gentle for children experiencing occasional digestive discomfort.
While doTERRA oils may provide support for gut health, they should not be considered a cure for chronic conditions like Crohn’s disease or colitis. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive treatment plan.
You can incorporate doTERRA oils into your daily routine by:
Each bottle will say if it can be consumed internally or not. A lot of doTERRA oils can be taken internally which is why this brand surpasses many other oil companies. However, there are some that are not safe for internal consumption and are labeled accordingly.
It’s crucial to follow the instructions provided by doTERRA and consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare practitioner.
While doTERRA oils are generally safe for use, some individuals may experience sensitivities or allergic reactions. It’s advisable to perform a patch test before applying any oil topically and discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur. Additionally, pregnant or nursing individuals should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before using essential oils.
Always consult your healthcare professional before trying new treatments/supplements.
But one small tip we like to say is: go low and slow on all new treatments or supplements.
Usually, our members start with the oils (1 drop) on the skin with coco oil and then once tolerated can take 1 drop internally in a cup of water or tea (for those oils that can be taken internally) and gradually increase until they can tolerant the soft gels, to target the GI tract more directly.
Taking care of your gut health is crucial for overall well-being, and doTERRA essential oils offer a natural approach to supporting digestive wellness.
From promoting healthy digestion and detoxification to soothing discomfort and strengthening immunity, doTERRA oils can play a valuable role in maintaining a healthy gut.
However, it’s important to remember that essential oils are not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. If you have any specific health concerns or conditions, consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating doTERRA oils into your routine.
