Kathleen’s Favorite Combo
for Lower Back Support
1. doTERRA Balance blend + Sandalwood
Update: Check out my new video below, with a third essential oil I’m loving for lower back support.
I dilute each essential oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil (2-3 drops EO in 1 tsp FCO) and layer them one at a time on my lower back. Sometimes I dilute the oils right in the palm of my hand, and sometimes I use roller bottles.
This combo helps me so much!
Here’s a quick video to explain exactly how I use these two oils, plus a third oil I’ve added to the mix and an awesome tip for easy application…
2. doTERRA Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex
For even greater support, I add doTERRA’s Deep Blue polyphenol complex–an all-natural supplement taken orally and designed to soothe soreness and discomfort.
Deep Blue polyphenol complex contains ingredients known to provide soothing comfort, including:
- Frankincense
- Curcumin (from turmeric root)
- Ginger
- Green tea leaf extract
- Reservatrol

do you use the DDR prime oil internally or topically?
Hi Carrie, I haven’t used DDR Prime on my back, but I would try it topically first. The softgels are another option to consider as well.
My daughter suffers from [unhealthy inflammatory response]. I bought the deep blue capsules. I want her to take them and see if she gets any relief.
Just a thank you, I have been having extreme lower back pain. Tried the first blend last night, boy what a difference I feel today. So much better. Going to try the other blends too. Thanks again, learning to love my oils.
