Not all essential oils are created equal
Essential oils are all the rage right now, and with good reason. (Hint: they’re awesome!) But did you know that most essential oils on the shelves are adulterated, diluted, and may even contain synthetic chemicals? If you want to use essential oils therapeutically, then you must make sure they are what they claim to be. (That is, 100% pure.) This is one reason why I use and personally recommend doTERRA.
Setting the standard – why doTERRA?
doTERRA International was formed in 2008. The founders wanted to raise the bar on essential oil quality, purity, and potency. Like many successful businesses, they sought to solve a problem and close a gap in the market. They certainly have done that within the past 10 years! They are now the largest essential oil company in the world, yet still maintain that personal, individualized touch. (Their customer service is probably the best I’ve ever experienced!) doTERRA is positively affecting lives from babies in utero to the elderly in their last days of life. They have revolutionized how we care for our health in the modern world.
What exactly is an essential oil?
Essential oils are chemical compounds found in plants. They help the plants defend against foreign invaders. Some essential oils are actually toxic, but many are very safe. (And of course doTERRA doesn’t produce any of the toxic ones!) The cool part is that we humans can extract and distill these chemical compounds for our own use, to benefit our bodies and minds. Essential oils come from all parts of the plant, depending on which plant it is: the root, bark, rind, flower, leaf, fruit, etc. Due to their potency, not much is needed per usage. They work out to be just pennies per drop in many cases. Some commonly used essential oils are lemon, lavender, peppermint, melaleuca, and frankincense. doTERRA also has proprietary blends that are formulated to target specific needs.
What are YOU seeking in your health journey?
Are you looking for more energy? Perhaps a stronger immune system or support for weight management? Maybe you’re in the middle of an incredibly stressful time in your life and it’s taking a toll on your health. Do you have children? They can benefit from essential oils too! Essential oils are so versatile, and there are options for EVERYONE. Now, I just have to say this because I don’t want to deceive anyone: essential oils are NOT a magic bullet! You can’t use essential oils yet eat a bad diet and expect to be healthy. Essential oils don’t take away the need for functional movement or restful sleep. And they certainly don’t replace the need for modern interventions and visits to the doctor! We need ALL of these things in their rightful place. You may hear stories of people stopping their medications due to using essential oils. This cannot work for everyone, and if you want to try that you MUST work with your doctor! (The nurse in me is coming out strong here!) Basically, essential oils should be used to supplement our healthy lifestyle. They can be one facet of our health journeys. And of course, consult your primary care practitioner if you wish to start using essential oils, especially if you are on prescription medications or pregnant.

Are you ready to jump in??
Step #1: Click here or the icon above, and select your language and country of residence. *IMPORTANT FOR MILITARY CUSTOMERS STATIONED IN GERMANY: Please make sure to select “Europe” as your country of residence, and then “Germany” for where your products will be shipped. Due to German law, the importation of supplements from America to your APO box is forbidden. DO NOT try to get around this. Customs is aware that doTERRA sells supplements so they do check boxes. You don’t want your service member getting in trouble! Also, if they discover that my military customers overseas are ordering supplements to their APO, it could force my entire business to shut down. So it doesn’t just affect you! When you move back to the U.S., you can change to a U.S. account. Check with me on how to do that when the time comes.
Step #2: Select “Wholesale Customer” (cannot sell doTERRA or earn commissions) or “Wellness Advocate” (can sell doTERRA and earn commissions). Either one will get you wholesale pricing (25% off) and access to starter kits. (Email me if you’re interested in earning an income with doTERRA!)
