WHY I LOVE ESSENTIAL OILS
Here's a few reasons I love essential oil..
1. They help bridge the gap between western medicine and a holistic lifestyle while working complimentary to each other.
2. They work beautifully together supporting emotional, physical and spiritual health.
3. They can replace many toxic cleaning products in the home and are amazing to add to skin care.
4. You have your own personal bottle of healing from nature.

What Are Essential Oils?
Essential Oils are a volatile substance derived from plants containing the natural smell and qualities of that plant. They are compounds found in the root, bark, stems and leaves of plants.
Each essential oil can contain hundreds of different chemical compunds. They are 50 - 70 times stronger than dried herbs! I drop of peppermint oil is equal to 28 teabags of peppermint tea! Absolutely amazing.
Essential Oils have been shown to contain antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties and this is why we love them.
Let me show you how Essential Oils can help you.
​
AROMATICALLY
Aromatherapy is probably the most well known use of essential oils. The beautiful aroma from the oils has been proven to affect our mood and emotions.
​
You can use the oils aromatically through direct inhalation, straight from the bottle or from a drop in your hand. Another way is to use a cold mist diffuser to push the oils into the air, this can clean the air, support open airways and affect mood.
THE NEXT STEP
More and more people are refocusing their approach to health. We are concerned about where our products are coming from, what's in them and what companies we are supporting. There is a changing awareness of the products we are putting on our skin, in our bodies and how it affects our families and our health.
With this increasing desire to take a holistic approach to health, it's no wonder essential oils are returning to the platform where they were once held in such high regard and are becoming that way again. 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils are the only oils to use to support your health, and integrating them into your lifestyle can result in big changes to your overall wellbeing.

About Doterra
They are the highest quality essential oils on the market.
An amazing thing doTERRA does is how they sustain the land they source the oils from. It's called co–impact sourcing, where they use a permaculture approach. As a result, each plant thrives in it’s native environment, making each bottle the Purest Quality Oil. DoTERRA get to work towards sustainability by partnering with many farmers to build co-operatives and helping to provide jobs in many third world countries. This is an awesome gift to all of us as without these wonderful farmers we wouldn't have the purity of oil we do. And the fact DoTerra choose to help farmers in third world countries by offering them a living which supports their family is one of the reasons I'm proud to call myselfe a DoTerra Wellness Advocate.

INTERNALLY
Internal Use
(applies only to doTerra CPTG oils as they are tested and approved by the FDA)
You can take the oils under the tongue, in a gel capsule or dispersed in water to support mouth, throat, digestive and overall health.
It is important to remember that essential oils are more potent that whole plant material so small amounts should be used when taking internally.
TOPICALLY
When the oils are applied to the skin their chemical compounds are readily absorbed into the body and blood system. You can apply the oils to the bottoms of the feet or to problem/specific areas. It is recommended that the oils are diluted using a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil.
Applying topically, essential oils can be found in the blood stream within 2 minutes and after 20 minutes they will be having an effect on every cell in the body. There are appropriate dosage of the oils for each individual and this information is readily available.
