dōTERRA—the Highest Quality Essential Oils Available in the World

For centuries, civilizations have acknowledged the superior quality of Omani Frankincense. Historians have recorded the wealth associated with the ancient trade of frankincense, and today, the region remains a pivotal place due to this highly valued product.

Because of dōTERRA's commitment to providing the highest quality essential oils, dōTERRA sources its oils from a global network of leading essential oil growers and chemists who can provide the best species grown in ideal environments. dōTERRA's Frankincense oil comes from Oman, where growers have been trained for generations and where the highest quality oil is produced.

From frankincense to birch essential oil, you can trust that dōTERRA will select and source the oils that provide the most therapeutic benefit and that meet CPTG standards. We invite you to join the thousands who are discovering the dōTERRA difference.

Pre Launch of Birch Essential Oil

For years, Birch essential oil has been sought after for its unique properties, but has been unavailable. Until now.

doTERRA is pleased to bring you the only 100% pure Birch Essential Oil available in the world.

Pure Birch oil contains 99% methyl salicylate, which has a cortisone-like action. A massage with Birch essential oil invigorates the body and reduces discomfort in the muscles, bones, and joints.

Special Promotion:
(August 5, 2009 - September 15, 2009) Receive a FREE bottle of Birch (15 ml) and bottle of Peppermint Essential Oil (15 ml) with any order of 200 PV or more! Birch essential oil will only be available as a promotional item for a limited time.

Historical Benefits of Birch Oil:

• Beneficial for bone, muscle, and joint discomfort
• Reduces inflammation and offers relief from discomfort associated with arthritis, tendonitis, and rheumatism
• Cleanses the skin for protection against bacterial and fungal infections

Birch essential oil's powerfully sweet aroma makes it a favorite for use in massage. It provides deep relief to muscles and overall body discomfort and has also been considered an excellent detoxifier.

The Secret to School Success

Are you preparing to send children back to school? Does the school year sometimes feel overwhelming for both you and your child? Follow these simple tips on creating routines in your home that will lead to a happy, healthy, successful school year!

1. Make sure you and your children get optimal sleep by establishing bedtime routines. When you're well rested, your mind is more alert and active, making it easier to concentrate in school. A simple routine like diffusing Lavender Essential Oil in the family room before bedtime helps everyone unwind and prepare for sleep.
2. Don't over schedule yourself or your children. Leave enough downtime in the calendar to enjoy playing outdoors, reading a book, or just hanging out!
3. During study time, consider diffusing Vetiver Essential Oil for its calming, soothing properties. For children who have a difficult time focusing, apply a few drops to the bottom of the feet and massage.
4. Promote healthy habits by diffusing and applying On Guard Essential Oil. Be sure to remind children often to wash their hands frequently. Keep On Guard Foaming Hand Wash near every sink in the home!
   

Helichrysum Essential Oil

One of the most sought-after essential oils, Helichrysum has traditionally been used for its soothing and regenerative effects. The rare essential oil of Helichrysum is distilled from the flower cluster of an evergreen herb and is highly prized by essential oil users, and is known as the "everlasting" or "immortal" essential oil. A recent article in Natural News reports that a study was conducted at the University of Nigeria that found that the active ingredients in Helichrysum that help lower blood pressure are called curcumene and caryophyllene. They also found significant evidence that rubbing the oil over scars does significantly reduce their appearance, even if the scars have been there for some time.

In addition, the oil's anti spasmodic, anti coagulant and anti allergenic properties have excited most of the medical profession. "Due to the rising number of people suffering from heart attacks and heart disease there is now a lot of research going in to natural substances that show anticoagulant (Blood Thinning) properties. Everything from mosquito saliva to ginger and turmeric have been tested, but none of them seem to be able to match the powers of Helichrysum essential oil. The oil has also been found to be a powerful anti allergenic. Not only does it help reduce the superficial signs of allergies such as skin rashes and stomach aches, but it has also been found to protect the liver, spleen and lungs, which is where the first signs of an allergic reaction may occur."

Not all Helichrysum essential oils offer these healing benefits though. Only pure Helichrysum essential oil will protect and benefit the body. doTERRA's CPTG Helichrysum essential oil is sourced from Corsica, the country best known for growing the highest quality helichrysum.

Aromatherapy For Cramps

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) soothes and relaxes the body, uplifts and elevates the mood, and cleanses and supports the skin. Allure magazine's blog includes a post about clary sage and cramps:

Aromatherapy For Cramps
By Kristin Cobb

Aromatherapy can be a source of pain relief for menstrual cramps, according to The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. In a study of 45 women who had severe menstrual complaints, some received a 15-minute abdominal massage with aromatherapy oils (lavender, clary sage, and rose) diluted in almond oil for seven days before and the first day of their menstrual period, while others were treated with plain almond oil. Only the aromatherapy group experienced a 42 percent reduction in pain from cramps compared with their previous menstrual period. Lavender may relieve muscular tension, and clary sage and rose may regulate the menstrual cycle and improve hormonal balance, says Myung-Haeng Hur, professor of nursing at Eulji University in Daejeon, South Korea. Though she and her colleagues comment in the study that "in rare instances, skin irritation could occur" after topical application of these oils, no side effects were reported among the participants. For treating menstrual cramps, the best way to deliver aromatherapy is through a massage or bath, Hur advises.

Wedding Bliss

Many happy couples will be saying their “I do’s” this summer, which means that most of us will be attending weddings and bridal showers. Every bride dreams of the perfect day, but with all the items on her to-do list, she may need some help finding “calm” in the midst of chaos.

Essential oils are the perfect match for wedding bliss. A diffuser and a calming oil such as Lavender or Serenity help ease stress and create a relaxing environment for the bride-to-be. To provide a pampering experience before the big day, create a gift basket with doTERRA therapeutic bath salts, Geranium essential oil, and a loofah as a bridal shower gift. The bride will enjoy an at-home spa experience that will soothe her emotions and leave her skin soft and smooth. Or better yet, give her a day at any of the world-class spas that use doTERRA essential oils in massage treatments.

Wedding event planners may also consider adding bottles of doTERRA essential oils to give as party favors. A bottle with a small note attached placed on each table will remind guests of the celebration and will provide them with a treasured take-away. Citrus Bliss, Elevation, Whisper, or any single oil make great gift ideas.

Green Cleaning with Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil (Citrus limon) is a natural cleanser and has many household uses and health benefits. dōTERRA's lemon essential oil is the highest quality available on the market--it is cold pressed from the rinds of lemons grown in Italy. Italian lemons are much larger and sweeter than domestic lemons, and higher in limonene as well.

Lemon essential oil boosts the effectiveness of cleaning with natural products and leaves a fresh, clean scent around your home. Why switch from off-the shelf products with ingredients like bleach and ammonia? Because those cleaners can irritate your eyes, airways, skin, and nervous system, and they also pollute and contaminate your indoor air and the streams they wash into.

Lemon essential oil will give you all the deep cleaning power you want, plus it is ALL-NATURAL, SAFE, AFFORDABLE, and leaves an UPLIFTING aroma in your home. Below are some recipes to deodorize, disinfect, degrease, polish, and brighten your home with lemon essential oil.

Furniture Polish:

• Add 4-5 drops lemon essential oil to a small amount of olive oil. (Olive oil is a natural oil that helps to nourish and polish wood.
  
• Mix, apply lightly to furniture, and buff for a nice shine.

Basic Household Disinfectant:

• Fill a spray bottle with water and a squirt of plant-based liquid soap
• Add 5-10 drops each of lemon, lavender, and white fir essential oils
• Shake well and apply to all surfaces

Floor Cleaner:

• Pour 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar to a bucket of water (1 gallon)
  
• Add 10-20 drops lemon essential oil
• Add 3 drops oregano essential oil

Mold & Mildew Spray

• Pour 2 cups distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle
• Add 2 drops lemon essential oil and 2 drops melaleuca essential oil
• Shake well and spray on infected area

Window Cleaner

• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 10-15 drops lemon essential oil
• water
• Mix well in a spray bottle, apply to windows, and wipe
  

Nurturing with Essential Oils

doTERRA IPC Phillip Bruttig and Madison

"I was visiting my family this past weekend in Orange County. My three-year-old niece Madison overheard a conversation I was having sharing my experience with essential oils. She quickly interrupted the conversation and said, 'Uncle Phil, can you make me feel better?' Then she coughed and said, "I think I need oils rubbed on my feet." Little ones are such a joy :) This was a super cool moment....Thank You, doTERRA!"

Many Uses for Marjoram Essential Oil

Sweet Marjoram Essential Oil is indigenous to the Mediterranean region: Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. It was known to the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness. The ancient Greeks used marjoram in cosmetics, fragrances and medicines; Greek physicians also used it as an antidote to poison. In 16th century Europe, sweet marjoram was used in bags to scent the bath water and for washing. In Egypt, it was known for its healing properties and was also anciently used to aid grieving.

dōTERRA sources its sweet Marjoram Essential Oil from Egypt. Many use marjoram for alleviating migraines, arthritis, headaches, respiratory infections, sinusitis, insomnia, anxiety, nervous depression, asthma, bronchitis, colds, constipation, flatulence, grief, menstrual difficulties (including PMT) and stress.

Other Uses of Marjoram
Sweet marjoram oil is also used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and detergents; it is also found in meats, sauces, and seasonings.

Culinary Uses of Marjoram

When cooking with marjoram essential oil, remember that doTERRA oils are in their purest form, which makes them very concentrated. Only a tiny amount is needed to flavor meats, sauces, or seasonings. When substituting marjoram essential oil for the dried or fresh herb, begin with the toothpick method. Dip a toothpick in the oil and swirl into the sauce until the desired taste is achieved. For larger quantities, one drop of the oil will add plenty of flavor.

Recent News about Marjoram

A recently published article in Martha Stewart's Whole Living refers to Marjoram Essential Oil's ability to treat eczema. Eczema is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder. Although eczema is not contagious, it is very common—estimates are that more than 15 million people in the United States have eczema. One clinical study evaluating essential oils for treating children with eczema concluded that massage with essential oils was effective in improving the dry, scaly skin lesions. The essential oils most often chosen by the mothers in the study included sweet marjoram, frankincense, German chamomile, myrrh, thyme, benzoin, spike lavender, and Litsea cubeba.

Give Dad the Gift of Better Health This Father's Day

This Father's Day, give dad a gift that will help him enjoy greater health and happiness: introduce him to pure essential oils! Our Father's Day promotion includes 15 ml bottles of Peppermint essential oil and Grapefruit essential oil, plus a FREE dōTERRA specialized water bottle.

Health Benefits:

• Peppermint is the perfect essential oil to add to any exercise or fitness routine that dad enjoys. Have dad apply a few drops of peppermint to the back of his neck or temples before his workout, or place a few drops in his palms and have him inhale deeply. The energizing aroma will keep him pumped up to workout and get healthy!
• Peppermint is also great for easing tired, sore muscles AFTER a good workout. Massage the oil neat or with Fractionated Coconut Oil to the area that is sore.
• Grapefruit and Peppermint essential oils help improve the digestive system. Adding just a few drops of either of these essential oils to water helps improve digestion, eliminates bloating, and removes toxins. With this specialized water bottle and essential oils, dad will stay hydrated while enjoying more flavorful water!
• Peppermint and Grapefruit essential oils are excellent mood elevators. These are perfect oils to diffuse in the home or office to create positive, uplifting feelings and to reduce stress.
• Grapefruit's fragrance has been studied for its ability to help people LOSE WEIGHT. The aroma encourages feelings of fullness, and taking it internally helps with digestion. Maintaining a healthy weight is vital to a longer, healthier life!

Using Scent to Create a Scent-sational Home Environment

Just a few drops of essential oils can make life at home look, smell, and feel more pleasant!

Even though there is plenty to enjoy outdoors during the summer months, most of us will still be spending some time indoors (at home, in hotel rooms during summer travel, or perhaps a cabin on campouts).

Adding the fragrance of essential oils to your summer space is the perfect way to create an inviting atmosphere for friends and guests, while also creating an UN-inviting environment for pesky insects.

• Diffuse uplifting fragrances such as Citrus Bliss, Peppermint, and On Guard to purify the air and to create a fresh, clean smell.
• Take your essential oils along when you travel. When staying in hotels, add a few drops of essential oils to a tissue or washcloth, and place over the air vent or fan in the room. This will disperse the oils into the air and rid the room of any odors and airborn pathogens.
• If you're sending your child to camp, send him/her with a spray bottle and a bottle of Purify. By adding a few drops of Purify to water in the spray bottle, your child can spritz the air in the cabin or tent, as well as any mattresses or sleeping bags to rid them of insects or musty odors.

Here are additional tips on how to keep your home environment smelling fresh and staying free of insects by using all-natural essential oils. Simply add a few drops of the following essential oils on a cotton ball and place in corners or areas where insects are found; sprinkle a few drops of the essential oil directly from the bottle along baseboards; or add the essential oil to a water bottle, shake, and spritz the area to send bugs running away.

Ants- TerraShield, peppermint, rosemary
Aphids- peppermint
Beetles- TerraShield, peppermint, thyme
Chiggers*- TerraShield, lavender, lemongrass, thyme
Cutworm- thyme
Fleas*- TerraShield, Purify, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint
Flies- TerraShield, lavender, peppermint, rosemary
Gnats- TerraShield
Mosquitos*- TerraShield, lavender, lemongrass
Moths- TerraShield, Purify, lavender, peppermint
Plant lice- peppermint
Spiders*- TerraShield, Purify, peppermint
Ticks*- Purify, lavender, lemongrass, thyme

*In case the insects find you before you use your oils, the same oils that repel insects also relieve the effect of the bites. (Special thanks to IPC Jan Meredith from Oregon for compiling this list!)

Amy Lin, Linda Lin (Dr. HK Lin's sisters), Kathy Teng (front row)

David Stirling, Dr. David Hill, and Greg Cook are currently visiting Taiwan and Japan to introduce people in those countries to dōTERRA's Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils.

"On this trip we have gained a better understanding of how the Chinese people have been using essential oils for hundreds of years. However, it is clear that no other company offers the purity and quality of dōTERRA essential oils in the market. Thus, we have been able to introduce the Chinese people to dōTERRA's Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils, and we have also been able to introduce the use of oils internally. We are here supporting some very enthusiastic customers, and we are VERY excited about the prospect of officially opening these markets as soon as we have an established customer base," said Greg Cook, Vice President, International & Operations.

dōTERRA is currently working to provide online sign-ups and shopping in both Chinese and Japanese, and has recently printed Introductory Kit booklets in Chinese and Japanese. Also available are Chinese and Japanese IPC Agreements, which are found in Virtual Office/Tools/Business/International Forms.

What I want for Mother’s Day
By Becky Cox


1. Nummy tiny lemon muffins with Lemon essential oil not made by me.
2. 60 minutes of uninterrupted silence so I can shave in peace and soak in Lavender and Spa bath salts.
3. Foot massage using Lavender and Peppermint administered by my favorite massage therapist, Mike Cox.
4. Mike has to put a tiny dab of Vetiver on his wrists so I can sniff him all day. Mmmmmm…..
5. Kisses from Maddy, Nick, and Dylan, and no back talk when I ask you to practice piano.

What makes your Mother's Day magical? Please let us know!

Be On Guard—Swine Flu and other Infectious Risks

Unfortunately, germs and our exposure to them are a regular occurrence. As resistance and new strains continue to develop, we are at an increasing risk for serious infection.
I realize that there are many discussion threads regarding the potential dangers concerning the swine flu and other infectious health risks. There is much in the way of scientific medical research which demonstrates the efficacy of essential oils against a variety of pathogenic germs. Naturally occurring compound groups such as alcohols, phenols and aldehydes are often identified as being the most beneficial. I feel confident that it is a reasonable and responsible approach to use essential oils daily in a model of prevention and for resolution of symptoms in the cases of exposure.

In general, reducing our exposure and enhancing immune protection is our best defense. I suggest using dōTERRA essential oils in the following way:

1. Establish the daily routine of applying On Guard on the bottom of feet (for yourself as well as family members) both morning and night, which creates long-lasting and consistent protection.

2. Diffuse dōTERRA essential oils in your home routinely throughout the day. On Guard and your favorite citrus oil combined is a potent and uplifting aroma.

3. Drink plenty of water. Adding a few drops of your favorite citrus oil will enhance your body’s natural defenses.

4. Viruses and bacteria are found in staggering numbers on surfaces. Use essential oils to thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces you and your family come in contact with. A mixture of Wild Orange, On Guard, and Thyme is especially potent. Diluting the mixture with water in a small glass spray bottle can easily be used anywhere, anytime. Simply spray and wipe for germ-free surfaces on the go.

5. Wash and wipe your hands using essential oils. Adding essential oils to your favorite soap increases effectiveness.

6. Use essential oils in combination to enhance their germ fighting benefits. The essential oils of On Guard (dōTERRA’s natural defense blend), Oregano, and Thyme are a critical part of your family’s protection plan.
