Why I chose dōTERRA’s Essential Oils

I wanted to share with you why I chose doTERRA’s Essential Oils. As you know I have been using Essential Oils for the past two months. I attended an amazing Essential Oil class and I have been using them ever since.  I did a lot of research before I went to the class and after because I wanted to use the best in terms of quality.  I will be honest, I was skeptical but willing to try them because of all of the health benefits I have heard about and I am so glad I did!

I am using the oils internally as well as topically and through aromatherapy.  If you are taking essential oils internally it is important that you use a Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade.  The brand that I am using is doTERRA.  There are several reasons why I went with this brand.  The number one reason is because they are a Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade which means they can be ingested.  The second reason is because of the health coaching that comes with the oils.

What sets this brand from the others?  doTERRA raised the bar in essential oil testing and set a new standard called “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade”.  All of the oils that they sell are at this high standard.  There are a growing number of products claiming to be or to contain essential oils. They range in price and quality and are found in skin care, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and other products.

However, many of these products do not use 100% pure essential oils and often use fragrant synthetic chemical substitutes to dilute or replace more expensive essential oil extracts.  You can pick up essential oils at most any health food stores or online but they are generally not a therapeutic grade and not a  Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade.

There are no current regulatory standards the “therapeutic grade” for products labeled as essential oils.  The CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade^®* mark represents d?TERRA’s own internal standards for sourcing and testing 100% pure aromatic botanical extracts using  independent testing laboratories and guarantee of 100% pure essential oil extracts that meet high standards for both purity and material composition as well as accurate product labeling.

d?TERRA’s therapeutic-grade essential oils are 100% pure natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants. They do not contain fillers (no gluten) or artificial ingredients that would dilute their active qualities. Proper extraction and quality control methods also ensure that d?TERRA’s essential oils are free of any contaminants such as pesticides or other chemical residues.

In addition to being 100% pure and natural, d?TERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils are subjected to further quality testing that ensures the correct composition of the active natural compounds found in each oil. Even though an essential oil may be 100% pure, if the right species or part of a plant has not been used, or if the plant has not been grown in the right environment or harvested at the right time, or if it has not been distilled under the right conditions, the natural chemical makeup of the extraction will not provide as predictable and powerful a benefit. In some cases, the wrong plant harvested at the wrong time may result in an extract that contains harmful levels of some constituents.  With d?TERRA’s testing comes peace of mind.

A test that you can do at home is to compare the smell of d?TERRA’s 100% lavender essential oil to another lavender oil or product in your home. If your product’s fragrance is overbearing it may contain synthetic chemical substitutes. A 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oil should have a balanced, broad fragrance profile and should smell crystal clean. Now, compare the feel of your product to d?TERRA’s essential oil. A pure essential oil should not feel slick or oily but rather absorb cleanly and completely into your skin.  I personally used three different brands of essential oils before I made the decision to use d?TERRA’s.

Now I want to be honest with you – I did make the decision to sign up as an affiliate AFTER I used the oils for a month and saw the health benefits from them.  When you sign up through our affiliate link you get FREE health coaching too.

I have also incorporated one green smoothie using the essential oils into my diet – 7 days a week.   I am using the Slim and Sassy, Frankincense and Lemon Oil every day.  The combination has made a major impact on my energy level and has kick started weight loss for me.  In addition she has an amazing cleanse if you are looking for additional weight loss.  I am also using Lavender Oil and Whisper (a blended oil) and I am sleeping better than I have in years.  Within 10 minutes I am out.

I am sharing this post with you because I hope to be able to help others with d?TERRA’s Essential Oils.  They have made a HUGE difference in the quality of my life.  If you want to order oils you can shop through this link – doTERRA/mjenningsdesigns.  If you would like to attend an Essential Oils Class we will be offering them with more details coming soon.
