Running on Oil

What are essential oils?

They are naturally occurring compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.

Essential oils give plants their smells, protect plants, and play a role in pollination. In addition to their benefits to plants and their fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. 

For us, they interact with the body on a cellular level, supporting different body systems to help you maximize your health. Although they’ve been used medicinally and aromatically for hundreds of years, doTERRAs commitment to research and partnership with the medical community has led to more mainstream use.

Why Use doterra essential oils?

Quality Control

You’ll never have to worry. There is no certifying body for essential oils so doTERRA uses their own multi-step quality control process (called Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) to assure that you get the best every time. Nearly all essential oils on the market are adulterated (messed with). I’ve used many brands and stay with doTERRA. Why?

• Uncompromising selectiveness in their oil sourcing (no one gets ripped off)

• Carefully sourced from local farmers around the globe (96% sell only to doTERRA)

• Free of added fillers, synthetic ingredients, or harmful contaminants

• All oils are beyond organic in their growing a processing standards

• Tested for potency, purity, and consistency batch to batch*

• Tested several times to be sure you're safe

• Used in large scale research studies because of their consistent quality and potency (example)

healthcare at home

Co-Impact Sourcing

This is important and a big reason why I love doTERRA (and why they have the best oils in the world)—

"Co-Impact Sourcing is an initiative that 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."

How to use essential oils

Aromatically

The tiny molecules effect your body very quickly. Breathe in (from the bottle or off your body or diffuser jewelry or from an inhaler) or use a diffuser to experience a boost in mood, open airways, feel a calming sensation, or to freshen the air. 

Topically

Essential oils are easily absorbed through many areas of the skin. Apply essential oils mixed with fractionated coconut oil to the bottoms of the feet, the spine, or to an area that needs extra support (like the stomach for a stomachache). 

Internally

The most potent method of using essential oils, internal use of certain essential oils can support your health goals. Don't listen to the bloggers or Facebook, it's safe to use oils internally once you know the rules. This method is especially good when you want to effect a specific body system. As a certified aromatherapist, I can guide you through safe and effective methods of use.

How do I purchase essential oils?

Step One:

Choose a Kit or Build Your Own (options below).

Kits come with a FREE 12-month Wholesale Customer Membership ($35 value). Build your own set for $35 which includes your membership perks. Or purchase at retail.

Why get a wholesale account? It’s like a cheaper Costco membership with more benefits. If you want more than a couple oils a year, it saves money and pays rewards. There is no auto-renew or obligation to order (you are not joining a “sales” team with a wholesale account, it’s just a discount program option).

Step Two:

Place your order. Using my links below —or referral number (#1261510)— fill your shopping cart and check out within just a few clicks. Then watch for the delivery person within the next week!

Not sure what to order? Look at the favorites above and pick the ones that speak to your needs. Or contact me and I can guide you through some options.

Schedule an appointment for a “how-to use these things” overview with me (phone, in-person, text, email).
