Why these
essential oils?
Nature's Purest Guaranteed
I only use these oils because they are the purest, most potent and most trusted on the market. When it comes to choosing what I put on my skin, what I eat and drink and what I breathe, purity is most important to me.
Another reason I love them so much is that the company who makes them is aligned with my own personal values of living in integrity and being in harmony with nature. While sourcing the most potent oils from around the world where the plants grow at their best, this company gives back with gratitude; looking after and supporting farmers' communities, investing in the sustainable use of resources and making sure the oils are produced in an ethical way. Sourcing the best product by doing the most good in the world. When I open a bottle and smell the oil, I'm always reminded of how much hard work, love, dedication and skills have come together to produce Nature's medicine in its purest form.

Healing the WHOLE
Physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, whatever your needs, there is an oil for that. I use them in my Journaling daily!
How I use essential oils
Because they are so pure, these essential oils are extremely versatile in their application.
Apart from all the physical ailments that they can help relive, I also use them for my emotions. Whenever I feel emotionally challenged (worried, scared, sad, depressed) I reach out for the amazingly gentle support of these oils. I love using them every time I feel stuck. Lots of people talk about physical detox of the body but I also like to do an emotional detox every now and then, and especially when I feel stuck. I believe this type of "work" is important for our growth as human beings. The list of why I use essential oils is quite long and varied.
Three cool things about these oils
100% Natural & Safe
There’s nothing added to or taken away from the oil. They’re just simply pure essential oils with no side effects and they cause no addictions. They’re safe for babies, children, adults and the elderly.
Essential oils are extracts from plants that have amazing health benefits. Pure oils are about 50-70 times more powerful than herbs. For example, one drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to drinking 28 cups of peppermint tea. So they’re really potent!
What I love about these oils is their CPTG standard. It stands for Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, and it means that these oils are completely pure and extremely potent. 'Pure' means there are no foreign contaminants or fillers. 'Potent' means that each plant was grown in a part of the world where that plant grows best, resulting in the absolute best chemistry for that plant. When you have the ideal natural chemistry, the essential oil extracted does exactly what we want it to do for our health.
Effective
Essential oils are more effective than many modern approaches to health problems. This is why:
Each cell of our body has an oily cell membrane that protects the cell, keeps all the good things in and all the bad things out. The two of the threats that are harmful to our cells are bacteria and viruses. Bacteria usually form on the outside of the cell while viruses duplicate the DNA from the inside of the cell.
So, for a bacterial infection, your doctor will recommend an antibiotic. After taking the antibiotic for 7-10 days, it would probably clear up the infection but this often wreaks havoc on the gut microbiome, disturbs the hormones, and weakens the immune system as side effects.
For a viral infection (cold or flu), the doctor would advise you to stay home, drink a lot of water, rest and let it run its course. This is because most modern medication are water-based synthetic agents so they cannot penetrate through the oily cell membrane to stop the duplication of a virus.
Essential oils are different because they are oil-based, which means they can permeate that cell membrane to deal with the virus but they can also easily deal with the bacteria on the outside of the cells. Essential oils work on a cellular level without side-effects or addictions. That is why they are often more effective than the modern approach to health problems.
Affordable
Essential oils are cheaper than traditional medical care. Let me explain...
When someone in my family has an ear infection, we rub two drops of lavender and two drops of melaleuca around their ear, and put them to bed. 12 hours later the ear infection is cleared up. It costs us about 50p. Now whether it costs you £8+ for the prescription, or whether it costs £0 because you are exempt from charges , essential oils are still less expensive than the fuel in the car you pay to go to the doctors surgery. That’s not including the half day of work you probably have to take off for this emergency. We also haven’t taken into account the fact that antibiotics harm your gut, and that you might have to buy extra probiotics for two weeks to fix the damage, which is even more money.
We save hundreds of dollars a year in medical costs because of essential oils. You cannot afford NOT to use natural solutions! THAT is why essential oils are cheaper than traditional medical care.
Three ways to use doTERRA oils
Aromatically
The first way to use essential oils is aromatically. Take your fingers and pinch right above the bridge of your nose for a second. Right under your fingers is your olfactory nerve. This nerve sends messages to the limbic system in your brain, which in turns sends messages all over the body. If you think its hokey to say oils could affect the body just by smelling them, let me illustrate:
When you go for a surgery, how do they deliver the anesthesia? You breathe those synthetic compounds through a mask. Your olfactory system is so powerful that it sends signals to your body to knock you out in under 10 seconds! This is the fastest way to access the brain. Exactly the same thing happens with natural compounds found in essential oils. When we breathe in those natural compounds from essential oils, they hit our olfactory nerve which sends signals to the limbic system which in turn sends signals to the rest of our body. This can happen in as little as 30 seconds.
Topically
The second way to use essential oils is topically.
You can actually apply most of these oils directly to the skin.
For children and for people with sensitive skin, you’ll want to dilute them with fractionated coconut oil or another carrier oil. This method is as effective, just takes a little longer to absorb.
You can even apply oils to pressure points throughout the body - on the wrists, elbow creases, back of the neck, behind the ears, on temples etc. You must not put oils inside ears or eyes.
You can even apply essential oils to the bottoms of your feet - including babies - and it won’t bother them. The pores on the bottom of your feet are really big and the oil absorbs very quickly into the bloodstream. It’s a great way to get oils into your system fast.
Internally
The third way to use essential oils is internally. These essential oils that I recommend are not only safe to use internally, they are RECOMMENDED for internal use. The CPTG standard means these oils are a medicinal grade, and are completely safe to ingest - unlike most other brands. You can put them in your mouth or drink them in water. If you don’t like the taste, put them in a veggie capsule. It’s like concocting your own little natural remedy.
