doTERRA Essential Oils
What are Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly potent chemical compounds that are found inside many plants-hidden in the roots, seeds, flowers, and even the bark of a tree. Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from hazardous environmental conditions, assist it with pollination, and provide the plant with many other important functions and benefits. That is why they are distilled and prepared for you to bring the power of nature into your home. So many of the products we use in our day-to-day lives are filled with synthetic chemicals. These unnatural products can weigh us down and even negatively influence the way we think, feel, and live.
Pure essential oils offer an alternative to synthetic products and are more than just natural products. Each essential oil contains a unique chemical makeup that provides dozens of benefits for the body and mind. Essential oil benefits are determined by the chemistry of the plants and if these natural chemicals are properly extracted, they can be used to help you physically, mentally, and emotionally in your daily life.
How do you use essential oils effectively? Don't worry, you don't have to be an expert in essential oils to enjoy the wide array of benefits that they offer. All you really need is a basic understanding of how to apply essential oils safely and simply as part of your daily routine. With so many essential oils available, you can find the perfect oil that is unique to your specific wants and needs rather than be forced to settle for a generic solution. The verstaility of essential oils is part of what has made them so popular in recent years. People love that they can use essential oils for a variety of tasks, without having to buy multiple products.
Why doTERRA
In today's market, essential oils are everywhere... even on the shelves of local department and grocery stores. So that leaves the question...why should I buy from doTERRA? Many essential oils on the market today are heavily contaminated or adulterated with synthetic chemicals. When you decide to purchase an essential oil, you want to be sure that it is completely natural and safe, and not actually synthetic. Synthetic oils can be harmful and won't give you the solutions you are looking for. When you are looking to buy essential oils that are safe and effective, the most important thing to look for is purity. Pure essential oils will allow you to reap the full benefits that nature has to offer, and, you can be confident knowing that they are safe to use to use with your family.
So, how do you know if the essential oils you are buying make the cut? First, find out if the company you plan to buy from takes the following precautions to ensure the quality of their oils:
- Sustainable and responsible sourcing (Where do their oils come from?)
- Extensive and thorough testing (Do they test their oils for adulteration and contamination?)
- Clear and accessible safety and usage information (Do they show customers how to use the oils safely?)
- Transparency (Do they use third-party testing? Do they make test results public?)
If they do, you can be sure that the oils are a good buy. If the company doesn't take those precautions or if finding this information is a challenge, you may want to steer clear of that company.
This is what makes doTERRA so different. When you use a bottle of doTERRA essential oil, you’re using an oil that is pure with no contaminants, fillers, or adulterations. How d we know? Well, when the essential oil industry first started, there were no standards or required tests to ensure purity, so doTERRA created one. Every batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a rigorous testing process and then each oil is sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation. When these oils pass the test, they become Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Oils, or CPTG. Not many essential oils on the market today can pass the CPTG standards...but doTERRA essential oils lead the way and are sealed and stamped with that standard.
