Essential Oils: Pure Essence … Powerful Purpose!

The use of essential oils for therapeutic aromatherapy and aromatic stimulation is becoming more and more popular each year as millions of individuals worldwide move toward a more natural approach to maintaining better health and wellness.

            Essential oils are liquids that are typically distilled (most frequently by steam or water) from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots or other elements of a plant. Essential oils are highly concentrated, containing the true essence of the plants from which they are derived. Most essential oils are clear, but some oils, such as patchouli, orange and lemongrass, are amber or yellow. Unlike most perfume oils, which are artificially created fragrances containing fabricated substances with very little to no therapeutic benefit, the chemical composition and aroma of essential oils can provide valuable psychological and physical therapeutic benefits usually achieved through inhalation and/or direct application to the skin. In addition, most of the oils can be used internally.

            dõTERRA International LLC produces and distributes exceptionally high-quality certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) essential oils. In addition to a premium line of essential oils used by individuals and healthcare professionals alike, the company also offers other products that are naturally safe, purely effective and infused with essential oils, including personal care and spa products, nutritional supplements and healthy-living products.

            For an oil to be CPTG, it must be pure and natural, with aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants; free from fillers or artificial ingredients; free from active quality dilution; free of contaminants, pesticides and/or chemical residues; rigorously tested for standards of chemical composition; cross tested using mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to ensure exact purity and composition potency; and sourced by a global network of leading essential oil chemists and growers to ensure correct species, growth in ideal environments, and that raw plant materials were carefully harvested at the right time.

            Examples of dõTERRA Essential Oils to choose from include:

•          Frankincense: Sometimes referred to as olibanum, it offers a variety of health benefits, including chronic stress and anxiety relief, pain and inflammation reduction, and immunity support.
