what are essential oils?

Essential Oils are natural aromatic compounds extracted and distilled

from seeds, bark, plants, trees, flowers and fruits. 

 

The constituents found in essential oils activate with the cellular level of our bodies and positively affect the biochemistry of our cells without any side effects or building up resistance.

doTERRA is The Leading Essential Oil Company

​

There are many essential oil companies on the market these days, but doTERRA is the leading essential oil company because they are the most TRUSTED essential oil company.

Let’s discuss why that is so. ​

 

 

#1: Where The Oils Come From

 

With over 100 essential oils in its product line, doTERRA sources its oils from over 40 countries —more than half of which could be considered developing countries. To ensure that small scale farmers and harvesters in disadvantaged areas are treated ethically, doTERRA has introduced an initiative called Co-Impact Sourcing.

 

The Co-Impact Sourcing initiative seeks to develop long-term, mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in underdeveloped areas. doTERRA is committed to the ethical treatment of its suppliers by providing on-time payments at fair prices. Growers and harvesters are encouraged to form cooperative groups to share collective benefits and bargaining power while improving skills and capacity. 

 

Additionally, doTERRA’s charitable organization, Healing Hands, provides funding and resources to create community-based, social-impact projects to improve lives in the larger communities where oils are sourced. The Healing Hands organization provides those developing countries with fresh water supplies, schools, clinics and other essentials such as feminine hygiene products.

#2: Purity + Potency

 

You would think that all essential oils are created equal.

Sadly, this is not reality.

 

So many companies are selling essential oils that have been “stretched” which means that they have been diluted with fillers.

As there is no governing body to regulate what essential oil companies put on their labels“100% pure” is a slogan used freely.

​

Seeing the need for an essential oil brand that could be trusted, doTERRA has set a new standard for purity + potency of essential oils, they call this standard Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG). This means that doTERRA’s oils are of the highest quality, which allows us to fully benefit from their natural therapeutic properties. When you use a bottle of doTERRA essential oil, you’re using an oil that is pure. There are no contaminants, fillers, or adulterations.

 

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.

 

Purity and potency are the two important key factors that differentiate doTERRA from any other oil company.

 

They are so pure that it only takes a drop to make a difference.

 

💧One drop of lemon is the equivalent of 20 squeezed lemons!  

💧One drop of peppermint is the equivalent of 28 cups of peppermint tea!

​#3: Continually Learning + Leading

(combining nature + science)

 

 

doTERRA is the leader in essential oil science. As of 2020, doTERRA scientists have published 20 peer-reviewed studies in scientific journals, with several other manuscripts at various levels of completion. Again the results are fascinating, with research focused on more than the activity of essential oils, but also methods of application that are proprietary to doTERRA.

​

doTERRA’s mission hinges on discovering and developing the world’s highest quality therapeutic grade essential oils and related natural wellness products. They accomplish this with a professional team of in-house scientists, as well as highly accomplished medical advisors. 

 

They also stay at the forefront of scientific advances by partnering with select academic, industry, and medical institutions. doTERRA’s scientists and research partners are constantly striving to learn more about the therapeutic potential of essential oils by designing and conducting studies and clinical trials.
