About Essential Oils
Plant Magic. That’s what I call them…a beautiful gift from the earth.
Inside every plant, hidden within it’s flowers, roots, seeds, and bark are naturally occurring, highly potent chemical compounds. These naturally occurring compounds are what we call, essential oils. Essential oil benefits are determined by the chemistry make-up of the plants, and are what give plants their smell. If these natural chemicals are properly extracted, they can be used to help you in your daily life.
The use of plant medicine has likely been around as long as we have existed. There’s proof that dates back to over 60,000 years ago from archeological excavations...super cool! In the east, plants as medicine are widely used and accepted, and in the west…lets just say we are still working on it. ;)
I have been using doTERRA Essential Oils for over 10 years now, and they’ve completely transformed mine and my children’s lives. One of a thousand examples I have is that when they get an ouchie, I can quickly apply them to help take the pain away, help the blood to clot, kill bad germs, and to help it heal faster…with no scar. I love that! Or if they have any tummy issues, there’s an oil for that too. As a mother, having an oil on hand for stress and anxiety relief (….so you don’t scream) is key, haha! And they work almost immediately! The list goes on and on, my friends. I have so many stories of plant magic you probably wouldn’t believe until you experienced it for yourself!*

That said, I 100% DO NOT suggest that you go out and buy just any essential oils from anywhere and try to use them in place of what is instructed on the link that I provide. That can be very dangerous and possibly harmful. The essential oil industry is not monitored or regulated, and there are many brands out there from big retail chains that sell them, and they are not safe to use because they have been altered with unnatural chemicals, fragrances, and other unnatural substances. doTERRA is the highest quality essential oil brand that I have found that is honest and true. Not only do they inspect every bottle for purity and have them 3rd party tested, but doTERRA also helps take care of the planet by using sustainable harvesting and farming methods. They also take care of their farmers, and the farmers families with healthcare, schools, and clean water. I just love that! They are an extremely human and earth conscious company that cares, and I completely trust their oils. They are tried and true, and I am absolutely certain of this after 9 years of personal, beneficial use.*
