What are Essential Oils?

LET’S BREAK THIS DOWN.

If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. They are the natural extracts from plants that are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Ever squeezed the rind of an orange while making a delicious cocktail and that beautiful smell from the mist sprayed in the room? Yep, that would be the essential oils.

Why We Love Them

They are amazing tools for self-healing and awareness

Shiloh’s Story

First off, essential oils are freaking amazing! If you are at all skeptical, I get it. After being exposed to essential oil benefits through a Functional Medicine Provider during a desperate time, I had severe chronic pain and was living with autoimmune disorders that had become nearly debilitating. These conditions affected my emotions and let’s just say that I was a wreck with anxious feelings and occasional depression that ruled my life. I also felt exhausted—all the time. I was sleeping during the day and had no energy or zest for life. My self-esteem was at an all-time low. Basically, I was miserable. And I didn’t know what to do.

I felt like I had tried everything, and nothing was working. My friend told me to give essential oils and supplements a try, I realized it was time to look at things differently and begin supporting all the systems of my body naturally. I was sick of having so many side effects from what I was doing, and I knew something had to change. To my surprise, they worked! Like really really worked. And now, years later, I’m still raving about them!

Why doTERRA

How to use them

  • Aromatically

    Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes. Aromatherapy is founded on the body’s predictable response to specific olfactory stimuli. Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating while others can be calming and soothing. Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify the air of unwanted odors. Low or no-heat essential oil diffusers are recommended as they do not change the chemical structure of the oil being diffused. Essential oils can also be used as cleansing and purifying additives to laundry and surface cleaners throughout the home.

    Simply use oils in a diffuser, or put a couple of drops in the palms of the hands rub them together and inhale.

  • Topically

    Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically. Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized benefit to the target area of application. They have restorative and calming properties and can be used effectively with massage and beauty therapy. The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefits throughout the body.

    Simply apply to the area that is causing discomfort. 1-3 drops is perfect for topical application. Please always dilute with a carrier oil of coconut oil, jojoba oil etc to test the sensitivity of the skin first before applying neat. Some oils are “hot oils” and should always be diluted. Clove, cinnamon, oregano are a few “hot oils.”

    When in doubt apply essential oils to the bottom of the feet and cover with a pair of natural fiber socks for several minutes. Oils applied to the bottoms of the feet hit the blood stream within 30 seconds and service every cell of the body.

  • Internally

    Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of health conditions. Only use with doTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Oils. Many essential oils are generally regarded as being safe for dietary use, but some oils should not be taken internally. Do not use any essential oil product internally that does not have the appropriate dietary supplement facts on its label.

    Only take oils internally that are labeled for personal consumption with a Supplement Facts guide on the bottle. Oils bought off the shelves are not considered safe to take internally.

    Simply use a couple drops of the essential oils I use and trust in a glass or stainless steel cup of water or beverage. Do not use plastic as citrus oils leech out the harmful chemicals found in plastic.

    2 drops of Frankincense under the tongue can help support healthy cellular function in the body, whereas a couple drops a day of citrus oil like Lemon can help to naturally cleanse the body and aid in digestion. Both are great for daily maintenance and are used to promote a healthy immune system.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg on how you can use essential oils for supporting your health and well-being. There are literally thousands of ways to use them for your home, your mood, supporting your immune system and assisting your body back into homeostasis.
