Essential Oils
Before we get started let's chat about why it is so important to have essential oils in every home. First of all, they are 100% natural (when using a good brand). I don't know about you, but since having kids I’ve become much more aware of all the toxins that surround us on a daily basis. Did you know that on average we are exposed to over 700,000 chemicals on a daily basis?! Our bodies are not designed to handle the amount of toxins in our personal care products, household cleaners, air fresheners (gross!), foods, medications, and environment. Anything we can do to help keep our families healthy by reducing our toxic load is becoming more important now than ever. The best part is that it’s so easy to replace many of these items with oils!
Essentials oils provide natural remedies as a first line of defence against whatever areas you are looking to support. Whether you are dealing with physical or emotional issues (aren’t we all??) there really is "an oil for that". I love the feeling of empowerment knowing that I can take better care of myself and my family using these natural tools and I know you will too! Settle in and get ready because you’re about to learn more than you bargained for!
WHY DOTERRA?
One of the most important things I want you to take away from this page is that QUALITY MATTERS!
There is a HUGE difference between the essential oil you purchase from the dollar store and the one you purchase from doTERRA. The essential oil industry is flooded with false claims, poor business models, and adulterated oils. But the truth is, there is no other company pursuing the purity and integrity that doTERRA is. No cutting corners, no adulterating oils, no ripping off farmers (yes, companies do this, disgusting isn’t it?!). doTERRA is empowering individuals to lead a healthier lifestyle, one drop, one bottle, on household, one community at a time.
The essential oil quality, sourcing + culture is what has contributed to the impact that doTERRA is having around the world.
Did you know doTERRA has over 8 million customers + wellness advocates around the globe? There are a number of reasons why doTERRA is the leading essential oil company in the world, here are a few of my favourites:
Transparency: Every single bottle of doTERRA oil comes with a quality ID. Use the ID number on the bottom of your bottle to view the third-party test results for that batch of oil by visiting the Source to You website.
Sourcing: doTERRA makes it a top priority to protect the environment during the production process and provide fair treatment of all harvesters and growers. Their Co-impact Sourcing Initiative is the heart of the company!
Healing Hands Foundation: This is doTERRA’s nonprofit organization that helps support community development projects in sourcing communities. These kinds of projects include funding for and building of schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems.
Science: doTERRA invests in research and testing to remain at the forefront of essential oil science. They also have many partnerships with research facilities, hospitals, and universities around the world.
Prime Meridian: doTERRA is building healthcare clinics that focus on integrative care, utilizing both traditional and holistic medicine. There are already a few locations open in the United States!!
The Basics
So, what are essential oils anyways?
Many of you use them and love them but might not have any idea where they come from!
Essential oils are the natural aromatic compounds found in nature. They can come from flowers, seeds, roots, bark, or leaves of plant material. Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from environmental threats, and even assist it with pollination, among other important functions and benefits. They are distilled or extracted from plants for health benefits!
ESSENTIAL OILS:
• Help restore the body to healthy balance
• Are 50-70x more powerful than herbs
• Use just 1 drop in most applications
• Are affordable – many are pennies per drop
• Are extremely effective – impacting your body in as little as 30 seconds!
Now that we know what essential oils are, it’s important to know HOW TO USE them! Here are 3 ways you’ll be putting your oils to work:
Using your oils aromatically has so many benefits! One of the easiest ways to do this is through diffusing. Aside from replacing scented candles + air fresheners that can wreak havoc on your health, filling the space in your home with the aromatic compounds of essential oils has so many other amazing benefits! Create an energizing, calming, or uplifting atmosphere, cleanse the air, soothe physical ailments, neutralize unwanted odours, and encourage restful + restorative sleep.
2. TOPICAL USE
Time to get these plant powered solutions onto your body! Get ready to makeover your medicine cabinet, swap your synthetic fragrances for natural “pure-fumes”, get a better handle on your mental wellness, and more! Use oils topically to ground the emotions, soothe tension, brighten the skin, and more.
3. INTERNAL USE
Did you know that doTERRA essential oils are actually intended for internal use? If you’ve been hesitant to ingest your oils until now, it’s time to conquer your fears! Use them to detox/cleanse the body, soother seasonal allergies, ease physical discomfort, calm the digestive tract, and for overall immune support.
*Please be advised that not all oils are safe for internal use.
Oil Safety
It’s important to remember that everyone and every oil is different. Some oil experiences might be immediate, while others might take time to achieve the desired results. Be sure to incorporate oils into your routine safely + at a pace that feels right for you.

I know exactly what you’re thinking (because I’ve been there!), so before we go on let’s address a few common hesitations people have about getting started with oils!
COST - In my opinion, you can’t put a price tag on health. And you will never appreciate the value of these oils until you put them to work in your home. So let’s put things into perspective. When you’re using pure essential oils, you often only need 1 drop per use. Seeing as a 15ml bottle has 250 drops, you’re literally spending pennies per drop!
COMMITMENT- You ARE NOT required to purchase anything more than you need. Shop when you want, for what you want.
SALES - No, you DO NOT have to sell oils…but as a customer you do get the perk of getting paid to share your oils with our Refer a Friend program!
