Essential oils have been used for over 5,000 years in various cultures for medicinal, healing and health purposes. They are naturally occurring, aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots flowers and other parts of plants.

The essential oils are made by distilling or extracting (by heat, steam or compressing) and this process separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant.

By separating the oils from the plants you are literally extracting the most powerful and healing part of the plant into a single oil.

Their function is to protect the plant against disease and predators and also play a role in pollination. Not only do essential oils have benefits for plants but they have amazing health benefits for us too!

 

Essential oils are growing in popularity because of their natural healing properties and wellness benefits. They have many healing benefits including their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Essential oils have the ability to pass through your skin  ‘transdermally’ which means they can pass through your skin and into your circulation system and cells. Whereas the aroma of essential oils travels to your body via the nasal passage and into the olfactory system in the brain (which is where your sense of smell is processed).

Once in your body, these oil compounds have the ability to protect and support your body in various ways such as immune support, mental and emotional health.

Essential oils all have a very highest vibrational frequency which can work in harmony with the energy field of the human body. Essential oils can help to restore balance to the mind, body and soul, and help to protect the body from low-frequency threats such as illness and disease.

Why dōTERRA

I've always had a passion for natural medicine, medicinal herbs, lox tox living, and chemical-free alternatives. I'm conscious of the lifestyle choices I make, like what I eat and the products I use, and how they may impact my health.

Since having children, my desire to make healthy choices has never been stronger. Not only is it essential for me to be at optimal health so I can be at my best for my family, but it is also important for their health.

When you find a company like dōTERRA, with integrity and values that are aligned with your own,  you stick with them.

I've been a customer of dōTERRA's since 2016 and I use them EVERY single day, ALL throughout the day. The more I learn about the health benefits of the oils, the more I LOVE them. These oils have been an enormously supportive health and wellness tool on an emotional and physical level.

 

Ethically and Sustainably Made

What is equally important is the quality of their products and their values and ethos. They are transparent and ethical. So many brands 'greenwash', use misleading marketing and labelling and take manufacturing shortcuts which impacts the quality of the finished product.

Choosing natural products, that are free of harmful chemicals and toxins is really important to me.  So making choices that reduce the toxic loading on the body; such as reduced exposure to synthetic and artificial chemicals; is really essential for me and my family.
