What Are Essential Oils?

If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.

These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells. Essential oils protect plants and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. 

Essential oils can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used as a single essential oil or in complex essential oil blends depending on user experience and desired benefit.

WHY I RECOMMEND doTERRA ESSENTIAL OILS

You may be seeing a lot of information regarding doTERRA essential oils lately and that is a great thing!  However, it may be overwhelming when thinking about how to get started with them or how to continue to most efficiently incorporate them into your healthy lifestyle plan!

I get it! I want you to know that I was right there a few years ago too! I never even heard of doTERRA essential oils, and I certainly did not have an understanding of what they were, where they came from or how they could benefit me, my family and basically everyone on Earth in some unique way!  And did you know the real meaning of the word “doTERRA?”  It is a Latin derivative, meaning “Gift of the Earth.”  What could be more simple and beautiful than that?  These oils are TRULY Mother Nature’s Gifts of the Earth for ALL OF US!

So I want to share just a little of my personal story about how I got started with doTERRA essential oils. 

A while back, I started to struggle with my personal health and wellness. I began having many symptoms I could not explain, nor could the providers that I went to for care.  I had already enrolled in my first holistic health coaching program, so I was already on a path of discovery and motivated to make positive changes.

I had noticed that I would miss some work every fall when my annual “fall virus” came on, and it usually started with a sore throat. I happened to attend a local class on doTERRA essential oils one fall season about how they could help our health naturally. In that particular class, we made a DIY throat spray using the On Guard oil, which is called “the Protective Blend.”

I was a bit skeptical, but I knew the universe had me there for a reason. I can honestly say I was impressed with the class, and the information on these essential oils was intriguing to my curious nature. I used the throat spray, as I figured I had nothing to lose. It was meant to be because the sore throat never developed more that season. At that point, I knew there was something to these oils. If just this one oil could help me so much, I wondered, what else could these MANY other oils do?  Thus, began the journey of discovery that I am still on!

These essential oils were the perfect complement on my wellness journey.

I was already on the path to developing healthier lifestyle habits when I discovered doTERRA. There was a lot of emphasis in my health coaching courses on reducing environmental toxins, such as those found in many of our society's cleaning and personal care products.

I was excited to learn that doTERRA also makes products for cleaning, skin care and body care that are all natural using the oils.  Also, many of the oils can be used for culinary purposes.  In addition, there are tons of DIY recipes for all these needs. 

Last but not least, they have AMAZING and EFFECTIVE daily supplements that enhance energy and vitality to life, supply whole food nutrition, including products for digestive health, women’s health, cellular health and weight management.  And yes, they even have children’s formulas that taste great!  These are just a few of the supplement options available.  Please follow this link to learn more: https://www.doterra.com/US/en/c/supplements

As a nature lover for as long as I can remember, it made perfect sense to be incorporating the very essential oils that protect our beautiful plants to protect ourselves as well! After all, they were put here on Earth from the beginning, just like us!  In contrast, synthetic chemicals added to other types of vitamins, supplements, skincare, body care and home-scenting products were not put here on Earth naturally. This also appealed to my spiritual nature.

I am so grateful that I discovered the doTERRA brand of essential oils.
