An Introduction to Essential Oils

In the spring of 2008, doTerra, meaning "gift of the earth" was founded.  They wanted to provide high quality essential oils to enhance many lives.  In addition to sharing oils, doTerra aspired to serve people and communities with the resources they had.  Have you heard of doTerra?  Have you always wanted to learn more about it?  Well you're in the right place. 
 
 Why doTerra?
           - Plants are sourced all over the world.  What does that mean?  When the plants are sourced that means that they're in their true environment to produce the best properties in the plant. 
           - Harvested at the most opportune time
           - Every batch is rigorously tested by a third party
           - Testing ensures the absence of toxins, contaminants and assures the presence of desired therapeutic properties.  

 What is an Essential Oil?
           - Extracts from plants
           - Found in the seeds, bark, root, stems, flowers and other parts of plants
           - Highly concentrated (less is more)
           - 50 - 70 times more powerful than herbs
