Are dōTERRA Essential Oils Organic?

No, they’re better.

Don’t get us wrong, this post is not intended to be a CPTG vs. certified organic debate. Certified organic is good. We support organic practices from any organization that seeks to produce pure, quality products, but the certified organic standard is not the only standard of purity.

dōTERRA‘s quality standard for essential oils, Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade^®(CPTG), exceeds industry standards. Because organic certification varies from country to country, province to province, and in the US, from state to state, it is not currently possible to acquire all oils under certified organic status. However, through the GC/MS analysis process, we are able to determine if any chemical residue exists in the essential oil, such as pesticides, herbicides, extenders, and solvents. With this rigorous analysis process, we are able to ensure that all CPTG  essential oils offered by dōTERRA are absolutely pure as nature intended and a step above organic.

Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils mean something very different. It means we protect the chemical compound of the plant just as it was produced from the earth. We don’t need to improve upon that. If we have the care, the scientific knowledge, the commitment and the integrity, we can preserve that.” -Dr. David K. Hill

We source our essential oils from a number of growers and distillers from around the world. Each location has its own specific laws and rules governing agriculture and collecting wild crafted botanicals. We look for plant materials that are grown in specific environments, but we cannot say that our oils are all “organic” as that requires specific certification that we simply cannot produce for some of our oils.

Our CPTG testing standard requires that our oil extracts be both free of pesticides and other foreign materials, which is one of the main reasons for people seeking organic botanicals, and it tests for certain compounds at certain levels so that our oils meet the performance criteria for each lot of oil. If an oil fails the purity test, specifically pesticides, there is no secondary process for removing the pesticides or foreign matter. The oils failing the test would simply be rejected. Other than the careful distillation of the oils from the plant material, there is no other processing that takes place. They are 100% pure aromatic extracts, nothing added, and nothing removed—they either meet our standard or they don’t.

We partner with experts that have a lot of experience in this field, and their long history of tested purity is part of the art of producing such beautiful oils. They are farmers, collectors, and chemists, but they are committed to distilling essential oils as artisans; and we believe are mindful of their environments and are committed to sustainable practices. Our network is vast and our suppliers’ methods are diverse. If we were to learn of any actions of a supplier causing harm to either the environment or to the local people of their community we would certainly seek other and more appropriate sources.

-

Our long-term hope is as we grow the demand for essential oils, we can help develop clean industry for local economies around the production of plants and extracts. Steam distillation is a very clean process. No solvents are used in the process, the left over plant material can make good compost, and the water waste stream is clean but for a hint of beautiful-smelling aromatics, such as sometimes sold as floral water.

Using doTERRA in the Classroom

Teacher Testimonies

.

Calming Nerves 

“I’m a special education teacher in a middle school located in Arizona, and I first started to use doTERRA products when my district was taking the state assessment test. My students came into class the first day a bit nervous and talkative. You could just sense the unrestful energy in the classroom and inappropriate behavior was the result. I went home that evening and was determined to figure out how to change the environment. The next day, before the students came in, I placed a couple drops of Lavender oil on a cotton ball and placed it behind a fan in the room. As the students entered the room, I turned on the fan and it began to diffuse the Lavender. The students initially had that nervous energy;  however, within 15 minutes I noticed the students were beginning to calm down. I would continue to add a drop of Lavender on a cotton ball every hour. The calming effect continued for the remainder of the testing week.  I stopped placed in the oil on the cotton ball for 3 days and noticed the nervous energy came back, but on the 4th day I resumed using the Lavender and observed the calming properties resumed.

doTERRA Essential Oils have played an important role in my classroom. As teachers, if we can reduce undesirable behavior or calm our students to a manageable degree, then we can focus on what we do best and teach our students. I have also been amazed with the results I have experienced in my own household”

A Cleaner Classroom

“I am a reading intervention teacher so I see lots of groups of children throughout the day. I use the Lotus diffuser at school to help fight germs and odors in the classroom. My 2nd grade students were fascinated with the glowing blue light and the mist that comes from the diffuser. I told them it was a germ-fighting machine. Some of the different  doTERRA oils that I used were – On Guard Oil Blend, Wild Orange Oil, Lemon Oil and Grapefruit Oil.”

-Michelle Bonne – Littleton, CO

Diffusing for Better Performance

“I’m a 6th grade math teacher. Math is a high-anxiety subject for many people. 6th grade is a also a high emotional stage for most. This combination makes doTERRA essential oils in my classroom a necessity!  At our initial Meet The Teacher Night, I had my diffuser running with Lavender Oil and Balance Oil Blend to keep me calm and ready to meet parents and students. I had many parents come in and comment on the lovely smell and several notice the diffuser and asked about it. I gave a simple explanation that they were essential oils in a diffuser and received comments of, “I wish MY teacher had that when I was in school,” “Even I can do math with an atmosphere like this!”, etc. I was presently surprised at the positive way that the diffuser and oils we received.

My students began to watch me when I put oils on myself and in the diffuser, and would ask why I was using them, what I was using, and what the benefits were. Its been a fun year of explaining that, “Lots of students are coughing or out sick so I’m putting in On Guard to kill the germs in the air and keep me and you healthy”, ” I needed some peppermint to wake me up a bit”, “I put Lavender on because you guys are a little crazy right now”, or “This one will help you concentrate on the test!” If I ever took the diffuser home, students would beg me to “bring back the raindrop thing!” They ask to smell it up close and like to play a guess game of which oils I’m using. Others, who know when then need the help to calm down, will ask me to put oils in the diffuser to help them!

I feel like having the oils in my classroom has done several things for me and my students this year. We’ve had a healthier classroom with much, much less sickness being passed around, my room smells great, we’re a calmer and happier group, I’m able to be balanced and level and teach them at a lower stress level. Thanks doTERRA for a great year in the classroom and many more to come!!

Essential Oils for Better Behavior

“I have been using doTERRA essential oils in my 2nd grade classroom for almost 2 years.  Students always want to have the seat closest to the diffuser! Last year, I had a classroom full of students with very high energy and Serenity Oil Blend helped to keep them calm. I also diffused doTERRA’s On Guard blend during cold & flu season, and Peppermint & Lemon worked well during testing.

This year, however, I have a very different class. This class seems to need more help with focusing, so I diffuse mostly Peppermint with Wild Orange or Lemon, and of course On Guard.”

Why is Fractionated Coconut Oil A Great Carrier Oil?

DoTerra Essential Oils

Fractionated Coconut Oil

dōTERRA®’s Fractionated Coconut Oil is an all-natural carrier oil that readily absorbs into the skin making it an ideal oil for topical therapies.

Its feather-light emollient effect provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores and is excellent for dry or troubled skin. It leaves skin feeling silky smooth, not greasy like other vegetable carrier oils. It is completely soluble with all essential oils and is colorless, odorless, and will not stain or go rancid.

Some oils, such as Oregano and Cassia, can be sensitive to the skin and require them to be diluted before applying topically. This is where carrier oils, like  Fractionated Coconut Oil, become important to have on hand.

Sometimes you would like apply an essential oil over a large area such as a back. You shouldn’t use any more than a 4-5 drops of an essential oil. What should you do?

Use a carrier oil. There are many oils people use for massage. Some may leave a greasy residue. Fractionated coconut oil is different from vegetable oil or other types of coconut oil.

It is a great carrier because it has been fractionated so it has small molecules to penetrate the skin and deliver essential oils. Vegetable oils or unrefined coconut oil will block the pores and the essential oils cannot work therapeutically.

–

What is fractionated coconut oil?

Fractionation, the method used for producing fractionated coconut oil, involves dividing the oil into smaller, more concentrated quantities.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is coconut oil that has been broken down to smaller molecules. It is structurally different than unrefined coconut oil. This is evident in that unrefined coconut oil is solid at room temperature where as fractionated coconut oil is not.

The double carbon bonds in the molecules of unrefined coconut oil reacts with oxygen, and it becomes rancid after a few months.

Fractionated Coconut oil has a shelf life that is indefinite.

The process to fractionate coconut oil requires no use of chemicals or additives so there are no chemical residues to worry about.

The same rules apply. It is important to have 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil.

So when you are apply essential oils, make sure your carrier is 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil. Another popular alternative is Jojoba (pronounced hohoba) oil.

-

Fractionated coconut oil is the ultimate massage oil.  

It has:

• a light texture,
• a silky, non-greasy feel, and
• is virtually colorless (it’s water-clear) and odorless.
• It works with all types of essential oils, and
• will not clog pores.
• It’s pH balanced to work with all skin types, and
• is highly nourishing to the skin.

–

What is more, fractionated coconut oil is high in short-chain fatty acids that are easily washed out of fabrics, has an indefinite shelf life (over one year), and does not require refrigeration.

This oil is a distillation of fresh coconut oil.  The oil is warmed, then lighter fractions of lower moleculare weight are separted from the heavier fractions.

Introduction for Novice Essential Oil Users

Are you new to essential oils and feeling a bit overwhelmed?

Dr. Hill introduces essential oils usage to the novice user.

10 Basic Oils Every Home Needs

You might be asking yourself  “Why do I even need essential oils when I can just go to the Doctor?”  The reason is: Essential Oils are a safer, more natural approach to medicine with no side affects.  Eighty percent of the time your illness is a viral infection and there is no “over the counter” medicine to combat a virus, however,  Essential Oils have several studies showing there ability to kill a viral infection.

Every home needs ten basic essential oils. These oils are found in the Family Physician Kit and are available at a retail price of $166.00.  You can also set up your whole sale account for $150 (It’s like having a Costco Card for doTerra) and it comes with this full kit (along with Slim & Sassy ‘Metabolic’ blend)

I use the Family Physician Kit for most of my medicinal needs.  It has completely replaced my medicine cabinet.  Here are a few ways that I have had success in using the oils in this kit:

1. Lavender - It is the most versatile and popular oil. It is great for burns and takes aways pain and blistering fast! It works very well as a sleep aid and it has a very calming effect. It also works as a natural antihistamine and provides relief from insect bites. Rub on your feet each night for relaxation, or headache relief.

2.  Lemon - Use a drop of lemon every day in your water to keep your body acid free (alkaline). Lemon helps clean your lymphatic system.  It is excellent for sore throats– just place a drop on your tongue or gargle with lemon water. You can also use it as a cleaning agent. Lemon oil will clean ninety-nine percent of bacteria.

3.  Peppermint - It has been double-blind studied against Tylenol and was proven to be just as effective in treating headaches.  Peppermint Oil was reported by the Mayo Clinic as being one of the most promising treatments for I.B.S.  It is fantastic for digestive issues and when inhaled it will stimulate the brain to increase alertness.

4.  Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil) – This is fantastic for acne since most acne medications are antibacterial creams, melaleuca is antibacterial.  It is also great for most skin conditions: general rashes, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, and MRSA.  You can rub it on your head to control dandruff and on your chest for coughs.

5.  Deep Blue  -  It reduces inflammations and relieves sore muscles and back aches.  Use this oil on all sport related injuries and will also relieve headaches.

6. Oregano - It is your heaviest fighter oil with several studies proving its ability to kill MRSA (staph infection). It is one of the most important oils to use when fighting any infection. It is a very hot oil and must be diluted with any carrier oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Almond Oil etc) to apply topically.

7. On Guard - This oil helps to strengthen your immune system.  This is great for disinfecting the home via a diffuser or even mix with water to use as a cleaner to wipe down counters.  Rub this on your feet every night for cold prevention and can rub on teeth to help reduce plaque & gum infections.

8.  Breathe - Use this oil from respiratory infections,coughs, or asthma symptoms.  Rub it on your chest to help combat congestion.  Rub on chest and under your nostrils to help with snoring.  Unlike other Vapor Rubs, Breathe will actually assist your body in fighting off the infection.

9.  DigestZen - this blend will work for any digestive disorder: Acid Reflux, heartburn, H.Pylori Bacteria, diarrhea, Constipation, IBS, etc. Rub four drops of DigestZen on your stomach for all the above.  Seventy percent of your immune function is through your GI so if you have a compromised GI you have a compromised immune system. Using DigestZen will help strengthen immune system.

10. Frankincense - this oil contains sesquiterpenes, enabling it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier.  It may help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands.  Many people belief it helps with anxiety and depression.  Several studies have been done on Frankincense and its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!   doTERRA Essential Oils work perfectly with the body to support normal functions of the body and dōTERRA products are safe to use on all ages.

FAQs About DoTerra Essential Oils

Q: dōTERRA’s essential oils are trademarked as “CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™”. What does this term mean, and what evidence is there to prove the efficacy and purity of your oils?

A: dōTERRA’s essential oils are trademarked and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™. This term means that our essential oils will always maintain the highest quality standard in therapeutic grade essential oils for purity and efficacy. dōTERRA’s CPTG essential oils are 100% pure, free of fillers or artificial contaminants such as pesticides or other chemical residues.

In order to assure the purity of our oils and the presence of their active compounds, we subject our oils to rigorous testing standards for chemical composition. dōTERRA’s CPTG essential oils are cross tested using mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to ensure both extract purity and composition potency of each batch. Each dōTERRA product is guaranteed to exceed customer satisfaction and performance expectations. We encourage you to try our products and judge for yourself. See, smell, and feel the difference of the purity and potency of CPTG essential oils.

Q: Why do your essential oils smell so much better than other essential oils on the market that claim to be therapeutic grade?

A: Aroma is an excellent indication of true purity. A 100% pure essential oil will elicit powerful emotional responses and will not be overbearing in any one note. Many people have described dōTERRA’s CPTG essential oils as “sweet” or “extremely pleasing fragrances”. This is because when plants are grown in a region in which it is indigenous, with proper nutritive soil conditions, air quality, weather/moisture, are harvested at the right time and carefully distilled, the essential oil extract will be pure and of the highest quality, thus having a fragrance that exceeds that of oils that have been diluted or synthetically produced. Unfortunately, there are many essential oils on the market that claim to be “therapeutic grade”, “100% pure”, or “100% natural” that do not follow strict standards for purity and potency. The best way for a consumer to know the quality and value of any product is to experience it for themselves.

Q: Do you grow your own plants and own your own farms?

A: We have found that a primary key to superior essential oil quality is the location in which the plant is grown. For this reason, we carefully source our essential oils from all over the world, rather than from a few locations that are not native habitats for the plants. For example, our Lavender is grown in the high altitudes of France, our Lemon comes from Italy, and our Frankincense is sourced from Oman. Because our management team is trusted and respected by global producers, we are able to secure precious crops for essential oil production from preferred suppliers.

Q: I have been involved with another network marketing company in the past and am looking to build a relationship with a company that will be committed to the products, consumers, and consultants. How was your company founded, and how can I be sure that I can trust this company’s management?

A: The founders of dōTERRA are a group of healthcare and business professionals who came together in the spring of 2008 with a common vision of bringing together a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world. The founders have several years experience in the direct-selling industry and have earned degrees from top universities. Prior to forming dōTERRA, the founders had successfully managed several large companies, which flourished under their management. They are well-respected, honest, hard-working individuals who have sacrificed much to bring this company to fruition. They are successfully achieving their dream of bringing the purest, most effective essential oils to the world. (To read dōTERRA’s Mission Statement, please click here.)

Q: I love dōTERRA’s products, but am hesitant to become involved in direct sales. If I decide to join, are there opportunities for me to learn more about the products and to learn how to build my own business with dōTERRA?

A: dōTERRA recognizes that as essential oils are becoming more mainstream, there is a greater need for education. dōTERRA provides exceptional educational opportunities for all people interested in learning how CPTG oils can be used as a self-care wellness alternative. These events are offered throughout the year from one of the leading essential oil experts, Dr. David K. Hill, as well as other guest presenters. In addition, we offer training workshops, webinars, and business-building tools to help you embrace the business prospect and become successful in your efforts to distribute our products through person-to-person contact and globally through personalized web shopping sites.

Q: Are dōTERRA’s essential oils organic?

A: dōTERRA’s CPTG essential oils exceed industry standards. Because organic certification varies from country to country, province to province, and in the US, from state to state, it is not currently possible to acquire all oils under certified organic status. However, through the GC/MS analysis process, we are able to determine if any chemical residue exists in the essential oil, e.g., pesticides, herbicides, extenders, and solvents. With this rigorous analysis process, we are able to ensure that all CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils offered by dōTERRA are absolutely pure as nature intended and a step above organic.

 

Do You Ever Think About This?..

You know how older people tend to get arthritis? Only in a very, very rare case do you ever hear about someone in their 20′s or 30′s having arthritis. Why is that? 

This is one of those, we are what we eat, drink, take etc. type things. Arthritis doesn’t come along just because one gets older. Candida, yeast, fungus or whatever you would like to call it, grows and grows over time inside our bodies. What happens next? The result is something very different for everyone. Some will get arthritis, others Fibromyalgia, and yet others, Parkinson’s. These few, and a list of many other illnesses or ailments, will be created over time. Most people will see a physician and be prescribed medication of some sort. This, however, will most often just add to the problem of creating even more candida, more yeast and the body will continue at a faster pace of shutting down.

There is much to learn about the human body, mind and spirit. The body is an amazing thing. Completely organic in it’s make up, but yet we bombard our bodies with substances that ultimately bring it to it’s demise. Artificial colors and sweeteners, synthetic medications, chemicals of all kinds that we clean with, swim in and digest on a daily basis. Most of the time we don’t think a thing about what we are putting into our bodies. General consensus is, whatever goes in our bodies, comes out in about 24 hours. NOT SO. Not even close. Hence, Liver and Kidney failure, Thyroid problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, pain, pain, pain. And the list goes on and on.

Most who read this would most likely think that I am vegetarian and only eat raw foods. I am, however, just like you and the general public. We live in a fast food world and I am part of that world, mostly out of convenience and time. I love a good coke with a hamburger or Mexican food. I love chocolate and crave oh so many other yummy foods that are not good for me. It is what I do to combat these foods and substances that is important for me. Enter therapeutic grade essential oils. I prefer Doterra Essential oils because they work for me and my family and countless other friends and clients.

The main purpose of these essential oils is to cleanse the human body and bring it back to a neutral position and help rewind the damage we have done to our bodies. As a good friend of mine, Dr. David Hill states, “The chemistry of natural plants is just like our bodies, essential oils help the body restore natural healing and reverse imperfections”. Wow, that is powerful and very empowering to each of us. We can be in control of our health, we can be in control of our future well being. Does arthritis or any other ailment have to be a reality? No, and with the daily use of essential oils we can drastically reduce the rate of illnesses and diseases that affect our lives and the lives of our loved ones

Using Essential Oils Safely

dōTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils can be used safely by your family for a variety of wellness applications. However, there are several safety guidelines that you should follow when using essential oils and essential oil products.

1. Be sure to use only 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils and follow all label warnings and instructions.
2. If redness or irritation occurs when using essential oils topically, apply a vegetable oil such as fractionated coconut oil or olive oil to the
   affected area.
3. Essential oils should not be used in the eyes, inside the ear canal, or in open wounds. In the event of accidental contact with the eye, dilute with vegetable oil NOT water.
4. Do NOT consume an essential oil internally unless labeled with a Supplement Facts box with specific dietary supplement use instructions and warnings.
5. Discontinue the use of an essential oil if you experience severe skin, stomach, or respiratory irritation or discomfort.
6. When using on children, apply a very small amount of oil to test skin or other sensitivity. Do not use oil on a child’s hand as they may transfer to their eyes or mouth.
7. Consult your physician before using essential oils if you are pregnant or under a doctor’s care or have other safety questions regarding
   essential oils.

It is important to remember that therapeutic-grade essential oils are highly-concentrated plant extracts and should be used with reasonable care. Consulting with someone who has experience with essential oils will make your first experience with essential oils more enjoyable and rewarding. As you learn how to use essential oils through personal experience, share your knowledge with others in a safe and responsible way and encourage others to do the same.
