Focusing on You and Your Oil Journey
The Basics
WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils are the essence of a plant, a gift form earth, distilled and prepared for you to bring the power of nature into your home.
Inside many plants, hidden in the roots, seeds, flowers, and bark are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds are essential oils.
Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from hazardous environmental condition, and even assist it with pollination, among other important functions and benefits.
Why Doterra?
PURITY
When you use a bottle of Doterra essential oil, you’re using an oil that is pure. There are no contaminates, fillers, or adulterations. The essential oil industry did not have standards to ensure purity so Doterra created one.
Every batch of Doterra essential oils goes through a rigorous testing process, well beyond what would be considered “good enough.'“ After that, each oil is sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation.
If the oil passes the test, its lebeled as CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. When you see the CPTG label you know you’re using the purest essential oils on the market.
SOURCING
Its more than just testing that sets Doterra essential oils apart. Doterra works diligently to make a difference. The mission is to change the world one drop, one person, one community at a time.
Every oil sold by Doterra is responsibly and sustainably sourced. Doterra focuses on sourcing practices that will produce only the highest quality essential oils, no matter the cost. Its a top priority to protect the environment during process and provide fair treatment of all harvesters and growers.
How to use the oils
There are three ways to use essential oils
1) Through smell. We call this “aromatic” sue of essential oils. This includes any application method that helps you experience the aroma of the oil. You can use essential oils aromatically by:
Diffusing in a essential oil diffuser
Applying ga drop to hands and inhaling
Wearing as a personal fragrance
2) On your skin. “Topical” application of essential oils allows the oil to absorb into the skin. Some ways to use essential oils on your skin are: (I like to dilute using fractionated coconut oil)
Massage
apply to targeted areas and rub in
add to lotions or moisturizer
3) Ingestion, or “internal” use of essential oils allows the oil to be transported throughout your body. Make sure the essential oil is safe for internal use first, and then try these methods.
Add to a glass of water (only use oils in glass, or stainless steel)
Take in a veggie capsule
Put a drop under your tongue
ALWAYS FOLLOW LABEL AND PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS
