I have experienced first hand how dōTERRA is changing peoples’ lives. It has changed mine. I had terrible digestive issues and I was desperate for a solution. I had resorted to swigging straight Apple Cider Vinegar every 45 minutes to deal with the burning sensation I could feel along my esophagus.

It was a short lived period of relief, but it was the best natural solution I had found to that point. I tried some other common products and soon found that they had some unfortunate side effects.

A friend suggested I try one drop of dōTERRA Lemon and one drop Peppermint and that I apply it topically to the area I could feel the burning. To my surprise, it worked IMMEDIATELY (sorry for the caps, but you have to know I was very excited).

Not only did it work, it worked for hours. That is the moment I realized the true power of essential oils. It opened the floodgates to a new way of caring for our family. I started learning about all the ways we could use essential oils. I was becoming more of a believer with every success we experienced!

Why I choose dōTERRA (yes, it was me that decided):

1. The science, research and transparency of the essential oils and other products. When I first looked into high quality Essential Oils, I found that of all the companies out there, dōTERRA had rigorous standards they hold themselves to which they refer to as the CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) Standard:

• -Third party testing
• -Impeccable sourcing and partnerships around the world (Co-Impact Sourcing)
• -Attention to sustainability

2. Education. As someone who was eagerly pursuing certifications in aromatherapy, I felt the dōTERRA commitment to educating people through Wellness Advocates was a unique and powerful idea. If we are able to provide ongoing education for people they will be able to really understand how to use natural products safely and effectively. They are very committed to keeping education as the number one priority. The focus of this company is service driven. Truly.  

3.  The focus on humanitarian efforts. I learned about their Healing Hands Foundation which strives to offer relief and service in a multitude of ways. Everything from supporting organizations that work to fight human trafficking around the world to re-building schools destroyed by earthquakes in Nepal. This organization is there in times of tragedy and in times of need throughout the globe, including here in the United States. That to me speaks volumes about the nature of those who are at the organizational level. It is a mission driven company.

4. Debt free, privately held company. dōTERRA not only grew faster to a billion dollars than Apple, but it is and will remain owned by the seven founders. The stability of the company is not reliant on investors and the financial abundance of the company. This allows them to put time and research into efficacy studies and their customers experiences.

5. Cost Savings. We save hundreds of dollars in healthcare annually now. The products themselves are extremely affordable and they last a long time. They are shelf stable for many years and that is really important because one drop is really all you need!

6. They are helping to transform the healthcare system in the USA and around the world. dōTERRA not only provides empowering natural forms of healthcare that are available in more than 8,000,000 homes around the world, they are now entering the public sector of healthcare services with their Prime Meridian Health Clinics (More on that in a later post).

I feel confident using dōTERRA Essential Oils and supplements for our family for all the reasons I have listed and many more.

It also bodes mention that dōTERRA has advisory panels of Board Certified Physicians and Veterinarians that help us understand the safe and effective use of all these products from A-Z in our homes.

In my opinion I could not have chosen a better company to help support my family’s health and wellness.

I’m a believer!
