How to Use doTERRA Essential Oils
Essential oils have changed the way we live - and we love it!
AROMATIC
Breathe in from the bottle, add a drop to your palms and inhale, or diffuse 4-6 drops in your diffuser.
TOPICAL
Mix with 1-2 drops of carrier oil, like fractionated coconut oil, and apply topically to target specific areas of the body such as muscle or joint discomfort or tummy discomfort.
INTERNAL
Take a drop under your tongue, add a drop to 4oz of water or liquid, take in a capsule or add to recipe when cooking.
Aromatic Use
This is the easiest way to utilize oils in your home. Our sense of smell is a very powerful tool. It's through our smell receptors that there's a direct connection to the limbic system.
The limbic system controls many things, including emotions, behavior, and memory. This powerful connection means essential oils can have a profound effect on our bodies when used aromatically to stimulate the limbic system.
Common ways to use aromatically are:
- An essential oil diffuser
- Smelling directly from the bottle
- Dropping oil in palms and cupping palms around the mouth and nose
Many oils have uplifting effects on your emotions, and others provide calming and grounding effects. In addition, many oils can help promote a restful sleep when used aromatically during the night, and others can help get rid of unwanted odors and germs in the air.
Topical Use
Applying oils directly to the skin is a great way to help them absorb into your body. Because essential oils are lipid soluble they easily penetrate the skin and when absorbed can provide localized benefits.
It is advised to always dilute essential oils when applying them on the skin to avoid sensitivity. Dilution is a process in which essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil that helps “carry” the essential oil onto the skin.
Some of my favorite carrier oils are:
- Fractionated coconut oil
- Jojoba oil
- Sweet almond oil
- Argan oil
- Rosehip oil
Internal Use
If you’ve never used essential oils internally before, it might seem strange to consume something so powerful and potent. However, pure essential oils are derived from abundant plants in nature, offering a wide spectrum of benefits when used internally.
Because our bodies are designed to metabolize and process compounds found in nature, we are already equipped to metabolize essential oils. Essential oils are merely high concentrations of natural compounds—the parts that give plants their taste and smell.
While some essential oils are never appropriate for internal consumption, plenty of oils can be safely taken internally and processed by the body.
doTERRA's oils are truly the most tested, most trusted essential oils.
Founded in 2008, doTERRA’s mission from the beginning was to share only the purest, highest-grade essential oils with the world. This commitment led to the creation of a new standard of quality: CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade®.
It's extremely rare to find a company as generous and good for the planet as doTERRA. With an unprecedented opportunity to partner with them to grow your own business, as well as the opportunity to lift and bless lives worldwide, doTERRA is truly special.
doTERRA Testing
doTERRA oils are the most tested essential oils and the most trusted essential oils.
The purity of an essential oil is its most important characteristic. When an essential oil is adulterated or contaminated, it becomes less effective and can even be dangerous. Many essential oils on the market are created to be "fragrant," meaning they have no therapeutic properties.
Each batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a battery of rigorous tests to ensure you and your family receive only the most pure, potent, and therapeutic oils on earth.
doTERRA runs 54 types of testing on every liter of oil produced to ensure it's pure and potent. Every liter is also sent out for third-party testing. No other company is as transparent as this; they want you to know you are getting the very best! If the oil does not pass the test, it will not be sold, period.
For me, this was the largest determining factor in deciding to use doTERRA for my family. If it's going on our skin, I need to be sure it's not compromised in any way.
doTERRA Transparency
doTERRA begins the CPTG testing process shortly after distillation, when each oil is reviewed for its chemical composition. The doTERRA production facility carries out a second round of testing to ensure that the oils distilled and tested during the first round are the same ones that arrived at our facility. A third review of the chemistry of the oils is conducted as the oils are packaged into the bottles before they’re shipped out to consumers.
Each test confirms that our essential oils are free of contaminants and that no unexpected alterations occurred during production.
