Considering I have been in the health and wellness industry for over 15 years I feel like I’m pretty late to the essential oil party.
I’v dabbled in using different oils in my massage blends and had an oil burner at some stage but to me they where really nothing more than something that smelt nice UNTIL I tried doTERRA and my view on essential oils completely changed.
With these oils you can feel the effect they have on your body as you inhale them- your anxiety and stress levels can go from an 8 to a 2 within a few breaths!
I think back to the times when I was super stressed and anxious doing my HSC, when I suffered with insomnia, was travelling and had jet lag and was homesick. I wish I had essential oils to lean on while I was at uni and during my pregnancy and post partum.
I don’t know how I’v gone for so long without discovering these oils and I wish someone had shared them with me earlier which is why I’m here sharing them with you now.
It wasn’t until I had newborn with glue ear that I started using them and realising their potential and that was only in 2016.
Man I wished I had doTERRA essential oils in my life before that.
Now that they’re there I can’t imagine doing life without them- whilst they certainly aren’t the answer and cure to everything- life for me is better with them in it for sure.
Now why do I choose doTERRA? Well apart from me noticing the huge difference (between them and other essential oils I had experienced) right away from smelling them and feeling the impact they had on my body, the more I found out about doTERRA as a company the more I like them.
For the first time there is a company producing essential oils and testing every batch for purity and potency as well as sourcing them in an ethical way to support the farmers and the ecosystems the oils are harvested from.
Source to you is a resource anyone can access to check oil quality. You just enter the Id number of your oil (found on the bottom of every single oil bottle) and get a full quality report. This is unheard of in the plant medicine industry and amazing resource.
Because of the testing they do, there is now hospitals and medical institutions using doTERRA essential oils for their patients to compliment their treatment and improve their experience. How cool is that?!
I’m a big fan of combining natural therapies with western medicine as they really can compliment each other so well.
They also have the Healing hands foundation . This foundation works to provide people and communities experiencing poverty or distress with the tools to become self reliant.
Some of the areas the foundation has worked with and are in partnership with are: anti-human trafficking such as Operation underground railroad, domestic violence, and helping to reduce poverty by supporting the local communities in the third world countries that the oils are sourced from. See what I mean by checking out Co-impact sourcing.
So, if you are looking for the best quality essential oils and and are mindful about conscious consumerism then you can feel good to know that when you buy your oils you are also supporting some wonderful partnerships.
Every home should have an essential oils kit- just like a first aid kit. If you aren’t already using these amazing plant medicines and you would like to find out more about getting some doTERAA essential oils I offer basic training and support for new customers and can guide you on how to use them safely.
