What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are highly concentrated chemical compounds extracted from the seeds, flowers, roots, and bark of a plant, capturing the plant’s scent and essence.
Essential oils are 50-70x more potent than herbal medicines. They are natural and safe, with no side effects or addictions. Because they are so potent, only a small amount is needed, which means they are affordable to use.
Essential oils can be inhaled or diffused as well as applied topically. Many of them are also safe to take internally. In just seconds, one drop of essential oil can enter your bloodstream and have an amazing effect on your physical, mental and emotion wellbeing.

“100 Uses for Essential Oils”
Why I use Essential Oils
If you’ve read my “About Me“ page, you know that I’ve always had a passion for natural healthcare and nutrition. Over the years, I’ve studied and experimented with many different types of natural remedies. By far, I’ve had the most success with essential oils.
I’ve been using essential oils for over 20 years and they are my first choice for any health concerns for myself and my loved ones. I’ve found an essential oil that is helpful for just about every health concern in my life, from supporting my immune system to cleaning my home to caring for my skin.
Why doTERRA?
I’ve spent many hours researching essential oil companies to find the best quality for the best prices. There are many reasons why I chose to not only purchase my own oils through doTERRA, but also to share them with others as a Wellness Advocate. I’m impressed by the quality of doTERRA’s products, but I’m even more impressed with the integrity and generosity of this company, which is so rare in the business world today. If you have a few minutes to read the information I’ve shared below, you’ll understand why.
Many essential oils on the market are heavily contaminated with synthetic chemicals. When you want essential oils that are safe and effective, the most important thing to look for is purity. Pure essential oils allow you to reap the full benefits that nature has to offer. They can support you, empower you, and revive you. You usually get what you pay for, and essential oils are no different.
When you use a bottle of doTERRA essential oil, you’re using an oil that is pure. There are no contaminants, fillers, or adulterations. The essential oil industry did not have standards to ensure purity, so doTERRA created one.
Every batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a rigorous testing process—well beyond what would be considered “good enough.” After that, each oil is sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation. Every single bottle of doTERRA oil comes with a quality ID number on the bottom of the bottle that can be used to view the third-party test results for that batch of oil.
doTERRA created the Co-Impact Sourcing® Initiative and the following 8 principles to ensure responsible practices in all our sourcing communities:
- Generating Jobs: Reduce poverty by creating and sustaining jobs
- Providing Fair, On-Time Payments: Offer consistent, fair payments to producers, including prepayments
- Building Supplier Capacity: Support farmers, producers, and distillers through training and financial support
- Sustaining Long-Term Partnerships: Provide multi-year contracts with growers and distillers based on solidarity and respect
- Ensuring Fair Labor Conditions: Create healthy and safe working environments, free from harassment and discrimination
- Promoting Cooperatives: Guarantee respect for the right of all employees and producers to join and form co-operatives
- Furthering Environmental Stewardship: Promote energy efficient technologies, renewable energy, and waste minimization
- Facilitating Community Development: Support community development projects in sourcing communities such as schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems
doTERRA takes pride in sourcing the most pure, potent, and effective essential oils in environmentally and socially responsibly ways. Learn more at sourcetoyou.com.
Humanitarian Impact
From the beginning, doTERRA wanted to be more than a business. They wanted to give back to their communities. To accomplish that, the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® was created—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps support community development projects in sourcing communities. These kinds of projects include funding for and building of schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems, as well as partnering with a variety of other organizations to support disaster relief, human trafficking prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation, microloan programs, and feminine hygiene education.
What does a doTERRA Membership mean?
When I did the research on the best essential oil companies, doTERRA was at the top of every reviewer’s list, but it took me three years before I started using doTERRA. Why? Because I didn’t like the idea of paying for and being obligated by a membership. Until someone explained it to me, I had no idea what a great opportunity it is.
Basically, a doTERRA membership means that once you purchase a $35 membership or an Enrollment Kit, you’re able to purchase the products at 25% below retail with no minimums or obligations. When the membership expires in one year, you can renew for just $25 and receive a free bottle of Peppermint essential oil. Membership allows you access to the Loyalty Rewards Program where you can earn points for additional savings of up to 30%. and FREE oils. It’s really a great program!
Of course, it makes more sense to buy an Enrollment kit than pay a $35 membership fee. The products sold in the Enrollment Kits are specially priced below the wholesale price and they are a great bargain. Check them out below:
