The box sits unopened on your coffee table, eight amber bottles waiting inside, and you wonder if this is the evening you finally slow down. The short answer is yes. The AromaTouch Technique Kit brings together eight pre-diluted doTERRA oils designed for a simple back-and-feet application ritual you can share at home. It is not a treatment and not a replacement for professional care. It is a guided moment of touch, warmth, and scent that turns an ordinary evening into something calmer and more connected. In this review, we walk through exactly what comes in the kit, how the step-by-step ritual works, what the oils feel like, and who will genuinely enjoy it.
What Is Inside the Kit
The AromaTouch Technique Kit is built around eight touch blends, each already thinned with Fractionated Coconut Oil so they are ready for skin. You get Balance for a grounded start, Lavender Touch for calm, Tea Tree for a clean, fresh feel, and On Guard for its warm, protective scent. The AromaTouch blend itself adds a soft, herbaceous layer, while Deep Blue offers a cooling, refreshing sensation after activity, never to be confused with pain relief. Wild Orange lifts the mood with bright citrus (note the 12-hour sun safety rule after applying), and Peppermint finishes with a crisp, airy tingle. Each oil goes on in a fixed order, which keeps the ritual simple and repeatable.
A Simple Step-by-Step Home Ritual
The AromaTouch method follows a clear sequence. In our experience, it takes about 30 unhurried minutes once you know the flow.
- Set the room: dim the lights, lay down a soft towel, and place the eight bottles in order nearby.
- Apply Balance along the back first, using slow, open strokes.
- Move to Lavender Touch and Tea Tree Touch on the lower back area with light pressure.
- Follow with On Guard Touch and the AromaTouch blend along the spine.
- Add Deep Blue on the shoulders and neck for a cooling, post-movement comfort.
- Finish with Wild Orange and Peppermint Touch along the feet, capping the ritual with something light and bright.
Always patch test a small area first and keep oils away from eyes, ears, and broken skin. If you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition, check with a doctor before use.
How It Compares to Other Starting Kits
Choosing between kits often comes down to ritual focus versus daily variety. The table below helps clarify the difference.
| Kit | Focus | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| AromaTouch Technique Kit | Back and feet massage ritual | Couples, tactile evening routines |
| Essential Foundations Kit | Everyday oils and diffuser use | Beginners wanting variety at home |
| Natural Solutions Enrollment Kit | Broad household and personal care | Families building a cabinet over time |
What we recommend most often is the AromaTouch kit when one specific ritual matters more than a shelf of options. The sequence is fixed, the oils are pre-diluted, and the experience feels like a shared pause. For a broader first purchase, the Essential Foundations Kit wins. If you already own touch blends and simply want the back-and-feet guidebook, this detailed kit review compares the options further.
Membership means paying the member price, which is 25% off retail. Signing up is free and takes a few minutes; no kit is required and there is no obligation. Kits often exceed 150 PV, which waives the small annual fee.

FAQ
Is the doTERRA AromaTouch Kit diluted and ready for skin? Yes, the eight oils in the technique kit come pre-diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil, generally around 2-3% for body use. Always do a small patch test on the inner elbow and wait 24 hours before the first full application.
How long does the home massage ritual take? The full back-and-feet sequence takes roughly 30 minutes at a calm, unhurried pace. You can shorten it by choosing three or four oils on lighter evenings, which many couples do naturally once the flow feels familiar.
Can I use this kit for couple massage nights? It is one of the nicest options for exactly that. The fixed order removes decision-making, and the tactile, scented routine creates a shared moment of calm, as this couple massage guide explains in more detail.
Does Deep Blue in the kit work as a pain reliever? No, Deep Blue is not a pain reliever or analgesic. It simply provides a cooling, refreshing sensation and post-activity comfort, which fits a relaxing ritual rather than any medical purpose.
What safety steps should I remember? Dilute further with Fractionated Coconut Oil if your skin is sensitive, avoid direct sun for 12 hours after applying Wild Orange, and keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under medical care, consult a doctor first.
The AromaTouch Technique Kit earns its place when a home massage ritual is the goal. It is guided, tactile, and warmly scented, and it turns shared touch into something easy to repeat. Just keep it framed as a wellness ritual, not healthcare, and it fits beautifully into slower evenings.
