Essential Oils 101!

 

My journey started with essential oils at a vendor fair when the wellness advocate rubbed Deep Blue onto my shoulder and within minutes the discomfort was gone. I was intrigued and the rest is history!!  I use essential oils daily to help boost my immune system and support my body in a natural way. I hope you find this online class helpful and informative as you enter this wonderful world of essential oils.

 


The dōTERRA Difference

Our Certified Pure Tested Grade - CPTG® essential oils contain no fillers or artificial ingredients that would dilute their active qualities. They are free of contaminants and other toxic, chemical residues.

We work closely with leading chemists and growers to select botanicals of the correct species, grown in ideal environments and carefully harvested at the right time. They are the safest and most beneficial oils available in the world today.
