What are essential oils
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark,
stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.
They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant.
If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or
the smell of fresh cut mint, or zested an orange or lemon then you have
experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.
In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide
plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in
plant pollination.
What are essential oils
Essential oils have been used throughout recorded history for a wide variety of wellness applications.
The Egyptians were some of the first people to use aromatic essential oils extensively in medical practice, beauty treatment, food preparation, and religious ceremony.
Frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, and cinnamon were considered very valuable cargo along caravan trade routes and were sometimes exchanged for gold.
Borrowing from the Egyptians, the Greeks used essential oils in their practices of therapeutic massage and aromatherapy.
The Romans also used aromatic oils to promote health and personal hygiene. Influenced by the Greeks and Romans, as well as Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic use of aromatic herbs,
The Persians began to refine distillation methods for extracting essential oils from aromatic plants.
Essential oil extracts were used throughout the dark ages in Europe for their anti-bacterial and fragrant properties.
How are they used ?
There are three ways that Essential oils can be used.
Aromatically
Topically
Internally
How are they used? Aromatic Uses
Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the
stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes.
Aromatherapy is founded on the body's predictable response to specific
olfactory stimuli.
Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain
essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating, while others
can be calming and soothing.
How are they used? Topical Uses
Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are
easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.
Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized
benefit to the target area of application.
They have restorative and calming properties and can be used
effectively with massage and beauty therapy. They are also
natural disinfectants.
The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be
absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit
throughout the body.
How are they used ? Internal Uses
Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety
of healthy conditions.
Some essential oils have powerful antioxidant properties while others help
support healthy inflammatory response in cells.
Grades of oils and why ?
When you choose Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils from

growing conditions. doTERRA also performs extensive testing on the oils by third
party independent labs before they even buy the oils for production.
The tests make sure the oils are pure, natural and not synthetic copies, that they
are free from pesticides, weeds and other contaminates. doTERRA essential oils
