dōTERRA—the Highest Quality Essential Oils Available in the World

2009-08-11T09:18:00.007-06:00

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

2009-08-06T10:06:00.005-06:00

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.

*For topical or aromatic use.

The Secret to School Success

2009-08-04T11:39:00.006-06:00

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!

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.
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!
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.
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

2009-07-30T10:16:00.007-06:00

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

2009-07-16T16:31:00.006-06:00

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

2009-07-10T14:31:00.008-06:00

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

2009-07-02T11:15:00.005-06:00

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

2009-07-02T11:07:00.004-06:00

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

2009-06-15T13:26:00.009-06:00

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

2009-06-13T08:17:00.005-06:00

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

2009-06-13T07:33:00.004-06:00

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!)

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.

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…..

Be On Guard—Swine Flu and other Infectious Risks

2009-05-04T11:32:00.017-06:00

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. At the onset of any infection this combination used internally by capsule ingestion or on the bottom of the feet can offer quick relief and elimination.

7. Maintain the basis of personal health through appropriate supplementation. Using dōTERRA Lifelong Wellness pack has immune sustaining benefits for your entire family. With an ORAC score of nearly 6000 per serving, every cell in your body is fortified.

Using CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils is a safe and consistent approach to safeguarding individual and family health.

Yours in Health,

Pick-Me-Up Body Spray with Pure Essential Oils

2009-04-08T11:26:00.004-06:00

Need a little pick-me-up? This body spray recipe (originally featured in Body + Soul magazine) is sure to chase the blahs away and help balance your mood.

dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils allow you to surround yourself with nature's subtle fragrances throughout the day. Use this mist on your hair, skin, or home/office environment.

Ingredients:

1 drop dōTERRA Eucalyptus essential oil

2 drops dōTERRA Geranium essential oil

3 drops dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil

To Make the Spray:

1. Fill a clean, dry mini spray bottle with 4 ounces of pure distilled water.

2. Using a dropper, carefully put the selected blend of essential oils directly into the spray bottle.

3. Tightly close the bottle and shake vigorously to combine. Be sure to shake it before each use, as the water and essential oils tend to separate.

Geranium Essential Oil

2009-04-03T08:00:00.003-06:00

The essential oil of geranium is gently steam distilled from the leaves, stalks, and flowers of the plant. It has a sweet, floral-lemony scent that can be bitter to the taste. Although geranium is a stimulating and refreshing essence, it also has calming properties. Nervous tension and depression may be improved by breathing in the beautiful aroma of geranium.* It has also been found to have antiseptic properties.

Geranium is commonly used for menopausal issues, pre-menstrual tension, fluid retention, and challenges arising from fluctuating hormone levels. The sedative properties of geranium encourage relaxation and pain tolerance.

The essential oil of geranium has become a cherished favorite to those with excessive dry or oily skin. Its balancing effect on the skin helps to calm inflamed skin tissue.

Key compounds found in geranium are citronellol, citronellyl formate, geraniol, linalool, linalyl acetate, and geranyl acetate.

Geranium Soothing Body Scrub

2009-04-02T13:46:00.007-06:00

Unwind after a demanding day with a relaxing spa experience in your very own home. The sweet, pungent scent of Geranium essential oil is ideal for relieving tension and anxiety.

Try this soothing body scrub with Geranium essential oil, and let us know if Geranium is now your favorite oil for relaxation! (Vote on our blog poll and let your voice be heard.)

dōTERRA Dr. Mom Kit Survey Results

2009-03-30T11:38:00.005-06:00

Our latest blog survey asked the following question:
Which essential oil blend in the Dr. Mom kit do you use most frequently?

Here are the results starting with the most frequently used blend:
1. On Guard (50%)
[Editor's note: Smart choice, since On Guard helps prevent the onset of illness!]
2. Breathe (22%)
[Makes sense that it's the second most-used blend, since respiratory issues are a big concern during the winter months and are an on-going concern for those with asthma.]

3. Deep Blue (18%)
[It's great to have Deep Blue since we frequently encounter discomfort due to everyday activities or chronic conditions.]

4. DigestZen (9%)
[Stomachaches, nausea, and perhaps heartburn or acid reflux can take its toll. Keep a bottle of DigestZen handy all the time!]

Thanks for participating, and be sure to also leave comments on our blog! We love to hear from you and will soon be offering giveaways to encourage more participation!

Pure Essential Oils Offer Healthcare Solutions During Difficult Economic Times

2009-03-26T09:38:00.000-06:00

According to the latest statistics, the current recession has many people suffering from more than just economic woes. Many people have been experiencing an increase in stress and anxiety, which has led to many sleepless nights and a host of health concerns.

Pure, natural essential oils are an affordable, safe way to address these concerns.

Reduce Stress:
Several essential oils are ideal for elevating mood and helping one regain a positive outlook.
Lavender, Wild Orange, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils. Diffuse any one of these, or create your own uplifting blend!

According to a recent report in USA TODAY by Michelle Healy, "Use of prescription sleep aids nearly tripled among young adults from 1998 to 2006, according to a study by Thomson Reuters. A study of medical and drug claims data found a 50% increase in use of the drugs among adults under 45. But perhaps the most startling finding was the increase in use of sleep aids among adults 18 to 24. Use in this age group rose to 1,524 users per 100,000 in 2006, up from 599 users per 100,000 in 1998."

Several of doTERRA's pure essential oils provide a safe, all-natural remedy without side effects.

Start Snoozing:
Studies have documented the effectiveness of lavender essential oil to induce sleep, Geranium essential oil for its ability to ease anxiety and tension and calm the mind, and Serenity Calming Blend for its ability to promote restful sleep.

My Faves:
1. Massage a few drops of Lavender, Geranium, or Serenity to the bottom of the feet before going to bed.
2. Add a few drops of Lavender, Geranium, or Serenity to a spray bottle filled with water and spritz bed linens and pillow before bedtime.
3. Add several drops of Lavender, Geranium, or Serenity to warm bath water and enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub.
4. Diffuse Lavender, Geranium, or Serenity in your room to create a relaxing, sleep-inducing environment.

doTERRA's Scientific Advisory Board Member, Dr. HK Lin, was the lead researcher in a recently published study on frankincense oil as a treatment for bladder cancer. "Frankincense oil may represent an inexpensive alternative therapy for patients currently suffering from bladder cancer," said Dr. Lin.

The oil suppressed cancer growth and activated mechanisms which kill the dangerous cells, they said.

The research was reported in the online journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine and has captured worldwide news coverage.

dōTERRA's Dr. Mom Kit--Because Mom Knows Best!

2009-03-02T08:22:00.000-07:00

Yesterday morning, my oldest son woke up with a sore throat. That achy, scratchy, yucky kind of sore throat that no one likes to have. The day before, my youngest daughter had a cut on her leg that was bleeding. That same day, my other daughter was complaining about a cold sore in her mouth.

Each and every day I am Dr. Mom in my home, taking care of my kids' scrapes, bumps, and bruises. But instead of turning to over-the-counter medications, I use essential oils to care for these types of common occurences. So to soothe my son's sore throat, I gave him a teaspoon of honey with lemon essential oil to swallow, and he felt better right away! To help cleanse the cut on my daughter's leg and help avoid scarring, I put lavender essential oil on the cotton pad of a bandage and placed it over the cut. Then I put melaleuca essential oil on a Q-tip and applied it to my other daughter's mouth for her cold sore.

dōTERRA's essential oils are pure and all-natural, and are the most nurturing way to care for your family's everyday health needs. The new dōTERRA Dr. Mom kit contains nine nurturing essential oils for all your family's health needs. It's amazing how simple it is to use essential oils in caring for loved ones, and how much better they feel.

In anticipation of strong sales, dōTERRA is offering pre-order sales March 1- March 18, with guaranteed shipment by March 18. Click here for more details!

There has been a lot of buzz about the new Flat Belly diet and its key ingredient to the 4-Day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart, the Sassy Water. The recipe claims to help you get rid of the pooch, and let's face it, we'd all love to have a flatter belly!

According to Prevention magazine, "the ingredients aren't just for flavor: The ginger also helps calm and soothe your GI tract. Even more important: The simple act of making this Sassy Water every day will serve as a reminder during the 4-Day Jumpstart that life is a little bit different, that things are going to change. It will help you focus on the task ahead: Getting a flatter belly once and for all."
After learning about this recipe on the Today show, Lil Shepherd (Founders' Club Member) decided to revise the recipe using dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Wonderful Weekends

2009-02-17T16:51:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love long weekends? We were able to enjoy a beautiful weekend while up in the mountains of Park City. My daughters went skiing, my sons went snowboarding, and I went snowmobiling with my sister. I love spending time outdoors and with family.

Valentine's Day Spa Therapy

2009-02-11T11:03:00.000-07:00

One of our Premier IPCs, Peggy Langenwalter, shared some fabulous tips on "How to Be Your Own Best Valentine" using dōTERRA essential oils. Thanks for sharing, Peggy!

Spa Therapy

Meditation Blend (for ultimate relaxation)
3 drops frankincense
1 drop myrrh
1 drop sandalwood
1 drop cinnamon bark

Meditation Blend can be modified according to personal preference. The more drops of oil in the diffuser, the stronger the aroma.

Blissful Bath (for a sensational soak in the tub!)

Fill tub with hot water.
In container put 2-4 cups baking soda and
2-4 cups dōTERRA Bath Salts, Epsom salt, or other salts
Add 5-10 drops dōTERRA essential oil(s) of choice to salts

Pour mixture into tub.
Slide in and relax, breathing deeply to enjoy the calming vapors
Soak for 20-30 minutes.

Some oils to consider: lavender, geranium, Citrus Bliss, Elevation, Serenity, ylang ylang, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, grapefruit, lemongrass, peppermint, Wild Orange, Aroma Touch, and Balance. Whisper and clary sage are especially helpful for relief of monthly discomfort.

Note: there may be oils that are too hot or strong for sensitive areas. Avoid these oils or use in very small amounts.

I Love My Thighs Application (anti-dimples, anyone? :)

Pour dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil in palm of hand (approximately ½ Tablespoon).
Add 3-5 drops citrus oils: lemon and grapefruit, Wild Orange and cypress, or combination of your own creation.

After showering or bathing, pat dry. While thighs are still hydrated and warm from shower or bath, smooth on oil blend. It may take two applications per thigh. Smooth upward toward groin.

Citrus oils are pressed from the rind and are excellent for improving circulation and lymph flow, and for helping rid the body of excess fluid.

Happy Hair Blend (for a great scalp and hair treatment)

Warm ¼ Cup dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil
Add 2-5 drops lavender
Add 2-5 drops rosemary

Massage into hair and scalp, wrap in towel or plastic for 10 minutes. Shampoo and rinse.
Essential oils can also be added to shampoo or conditioner. Oils to consider are lavender, rosemary, geranium, and peppermint. Peppermint spritzed on the scalp is especially refreshing on hot summer days.

Fun for My Feet Treatment

Soak feet in warm water with 5-10 drops lavender and melaleuca for 10 minutes. Massage warm, moist feet with dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil and essential oils of your choice.

Cooking with Lemon Essential Oil

2009-02-09T14:53:00.000-07:00

dōTERRA's Lemon essential oil (Citrus limon) has many wonderful therapeutic benefits, but is also great when added to foods and liquids as a natural flavoring.

Our lemon essential oil 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 can be added as a flavoring to drinking water, or can be added to dessert recipes, poultry, or fish recipes. Lemon essential oil can be substituted in any recipe that calls for lemon juice, lemon extract, or grated lemon zest. Simply substitute one drop lemon essential oil for one teaspoon lemon extract or lemon juice.

Enjoy all the healthful benefits of lemon essential oil plus great taste in the following recipe:

Tilapia Lemon Parmesan
2-1/2 lbs. Tilapia fillets
2-4 tsp. butter, softened
2 drops dōTERRA lemon essential oil

Lemon-Parmesan Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
4-6 drops dōTERRA lemon essential oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
2 lemons, sliced fresh parsley

Rinse the tilapia fillets in cold water and drain thoroughly.
Top with butter and lemon essential oil.
Broil about 4 inches from the source of heat for approximately 5 to 6 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Top each portion with Lemon-Parmesan Sauce; broil 2-3 minutes or until sauce puffs and turns golden brown.
Place fillets on serving plate; garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
Serves: 6

dōTERRA Date Nights!

Lavender 101

2009-01-27T13:15:00.001-07:00

If you're new to the concept of self-care, you may be wondering, "Where do I begin?"

A great place to start is by making sure you're getting enough sleep. Wikipedia reports that sleep deprivation may lead to depression, weight gain or loss, irritability, and other health problems.

Lavender essential oil is perfect for helping you get a peaceful night's sleep. Lavender is well documented as a stress reducer and sleep inducer. Its pleasant and calming aroma helps your body and mind relax. dōTERRA's CPTG lavender essential oil is 100% pure and natural, so it's safe and simple to use.

Enjoy an aromatic bath with lavender essential oil. Add 6-12 drops of lavender oil and 1/2 cup bath salts to hot water in a tub. The salts will relax the muscles and the oil will soothe and nourish your skin.

Diffuse lavender in your bedroom and play soft music to unwind before bedtime. Breathing the aroma will help everyone in your home relax and is a calming influence in any environment.

Apply a drop or two of lavender essential oil on the back of the neck or massage on the bottom of the feet.

Be good to yourself with lavender essential oil. You'll sleep better and wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy a new day!

Take Time for Self-Care in 2009

2009-01-26T13:04:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I was determined to take some time to slow down and practice self-care, so I enjoyed a pedicure with my favorite essential oils. Spa treatments, whether at home or at a spa, are a great way to pamper yourself and transport you to a state of bliss. But they're also a great way to improve your health and well-being.

Many of us could enjoy better health by reducing stress. Stress can wreak havoc on our bodies in the form of weight gain, emotional overload, and lack of sleep. In this month's issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah revealed how stress has affected her health:

"What I've learned this year is that my weight issue isn't about eating less or working out harder, or even about a malfunctioning thyroid. It's about my life being out of balance, with too much work and not enough play, not enough time to calm down. I let the well run dry.

In 2009, dare I, dare all of us give ourselves all the love and care we need to be healthy, to be well, and to be whole? I know for sure that for each moment of this brand new year, I'm gonna try."

So this year, be sure to surround yourself with the aromas of essentials oils, and take time for self-care with pampering treatments using dōTERRA's certified pure therapeutic-grade essential oils. Your body, and mind, will thank you for it!

Getting to Know Master IPC, Justin Harrison

Justin was first introduced to essential oils 12 years ago

and feels grateful for the exhilarating sense of empowerment

they have given him to take care of most any health

condition that his family encounters. Sharing with others

the wonderful benefits of essential oils, Justin and Keri

were the first in the history of dōTERRA to become

Founders’ Club members.

Early on his career, Justin was introduced to the power

of network marketing. He built a substantial organization

very quickly and continued to help others achieve

financial freedom for five years until such time that the

company collapsed due mismanagement.

At that time, he decided to test the waters in the corporate world.

Justin spent the past seven years working with

independent distributors to promote health and abundance

around the globe for one of the largest essential oil retailers

in the world. Many of the greatest experiences of his life

happened during those years, as he was given the ability

to do what he loves—help people achieve their dreams. It

also allowed him the opportunity to gain an intimate

understanding of the true power of essential oils. He

joined dōTERRA in March 2008, and his life has never

been so good!

Justin and Keri are the parents of four rambunctious boysand reside
in Mapleton, Utah.

Product Testimonial

I have severe allergies. I am horribly allergic to animals, pollen and mold. When I moved into a house with two cats, I woke up every night with an itchy throat, itchy eyes, runny nose and my larynx became inflamed.

After being frustrated with the results of Zyrtec, Clariten and Nasonex, I decided to turn to essential oils. I put two drops each of peppermint, lavender and lemon in a capsule and swallowed it before bed. That night, I slept through the night and woke up without puffy eyes! I have been using the oils for a week and have had amazing results without any side effects from the prescription drugs I previously used. dōTERRA oils are amazing!

-Adrienne M., Highland, UT

Essential Oils in the News

The scent of peppermint or cinnamon in your car might make your morning commute less frustrating and you more alert when behind the wheel. That's according to the results of a recent study led by Dr. Bryan Raudenbush, an associate professor of psychology at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. According to the study, drivers demonstrated decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue when exposed to peppermint and cinnamon scents. T

he study also revealed that drivers were more alert.

The results of the study, Effects Of Odor Administration On Driving Performance, Safety, Alertness, And Fatigue, were presented at the recent Association for Chemical Reception Sciences Conference in Sarasota, FL.

The study builds on Raudenbush's past research, which indicated the odors of pepperm

int and cinnamon enhance motivation, performance, and alertness, decrease fatigue, and serve as central nervous system stimulants.

"Given these results, it is reasonable to expect that the presentation of peppermint or cinnamon odor while driving may produce a more alert and conscientious driver, and minimize the fatigue associated with prolonged driving," says Raudenbush.

In the present study, participants were monitored during stimulated driving under three odor conditions (peppermint, cinnamon, non-odor control). Odors were added to low flow oxygen (1.3L/min) via an oxygen concentrator and presented at the rate of 30 seconds every 15 minutes. Subjective measures of cognitive performance, wakefulness, mood, and workload were also assessed.

"In general, prolonged driving led to increased anger, fatigue, and physical demand, an

d decreased vigor. However, fatigue ratings were decreased in the cinnamon condition. Both cinnamon and peppermint administration led to increased ratings of alertness in comparison to the no-odor control condition over the course of the driving scenario. Periodic administration of these odors over long term driving may prove beneficial in maintaining alertness and decreasing highway accidents and fatalities," says Raudenbush.

Dear Friends and Consultants of dōTERRA,

We wish to express our deep gratitude for another amazing month of huge growth and consultant success for our fledgling company. August was by far our largest month since we began selling product with significant revenue increases and record numbers of new product consultants joining our dōTERRA family. You have far exceeded our expectations for what are traditionally the hardest two months of the year in our industry, July and August. We are now gearing up for what should be the largest growth period of the year, kicked off by our upcoming Launch Celebration and Training Conference. We have a full schedule in September that includes pre-launch events in more than 15 major cities, and the introduction of weekly online "Webinars" every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm MST. Please refer to the events section of doterra.com for more details.

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to dōTERRA!

Sincerely,

dōTERRA Founding Executives

Launch Celebration and Training Conference

We had a great response to the publication of our 2008 Launch Celebration and Training Conference schedule of events, and many took advantage of our early registration promotion. If you did not register before August 31, you still have a chance! Join us on October 17 and 18 for two days of intensive essential oil training from industry and wellness experts. We will be introducing our new line of Lifelong Wellness nutritionals and other new essential oil products at the event so you won’t want to miss it! We will also celebrate our official company launch with friends and associates of our rapidly expanding dōTERRA family. For more information or to register, visit our company news section on doterra.com.

Product Testimonial

“As a massage therapist and educator, I have applied essential oils to hundreds of people including children, adults, and senior citizens with great results. Unfortunately, attempts to apply oils to my husband resulted in a severe skin reaction causing him to break out in small bumps that would itch and scab over. I was working as a distributor for another essential oil company and they told me he must be “defective” or “toxic” in some way, and I resigned myself to the fact that he could not benefit from using essential oils. I was then introduced to dōTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils by a trusted friend, and I decided to carefully give them a try on my husband. We applied a small amount of oregano, which would normally cause a severe reaction, to his back before he went to bed, and in the morning he was fine. Encouraged, we applied dōTERRA’s oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, marjoram, peppermint, and Balance blend for a second night, and he had no uncomfortable reaction as he had using the other company’s oils. This is very encouraging for both of us and we plan to continue using dōTERRA’s oils from now on.

Thank you, dōTERRA, for giving us pure essential oil alternatives that are safe, effective, and smell so wonderful too!

Submitted by Peggy Langenwalter, Albuquerque, NM, licensed massage therapist, health advocate, Independent dōTERRA Product Consultant.

Product Tip of the Week

“I am an avid mountain biker and am constantly trying to keep my flexible backpack water flask and drinking tube free of mold and other yucky residue for my next ride. I tried adding three or so drops of dōTERRA lemon essential oil to my water before a recent ride and, not only did it add a refreshing lemon twist, my flask smelled lemon fresh the next time I rode. I since tried a drop or two of peppermint oil on days I need a little pick-me-up and it also calms my digestion of sports bars and drinks that sometime upset my stomach during rides.”

Submitted by Debbie, Lindon, UT, mountain biker, triathlete, mother of five, satisfied dōTERRA customer.

If you have a product tip or experience you would like to share with dōTERRA , send an e-mail to editor@doterra.com and include your name, address, telephone number, your consultant number if you have one, and tell us a little about yourself.

New dōTERRA Typography Standards

In an effort to create brand equity through the consistent use of our name and logo, we will no longer use the upper-case “DōTerra” version of our company name in typewritten content. Instead, we will only use a lower-case lead letter “d” and “ō” and upper case “TERRA” to more closely mimic the typography of our logo mark, “dōTERRA.”

The only exception to this typography standard will be the use of an “o” without a top line for non-HTML viewing of e-mails. We ask for your patience as we make these updates to existing company materials, and we encourage you to follow this standard in your future communications that include our company name, dōTERRA.

(To insert the top line above the “o” in Microsoft Word, go to Insert, then Symbol, find the appropriate character on the pop-up palette, and then press Insert. The “ō” character is available in common san-serif fonts such as Arial or Franklin Gothic and is also available in Times Roman. You can also set up an automatic replace function in Microsoft Word using the AutoCorrect Option in the Spelling & Grammar tool.)

Inspirational Story of the week
I love DōTerra! Not only have I been able to do what I love, but my clients see a difference in these oils. I now have people-- health practitioners mostly-- seeking me out to get involved, due to the amazing quality of these essential oils! I have earned more money with DōTerra in the past 4 months than I earned with my previous company in the first full 5 years! The part I love the best is that I have not beat the bushes for one client or business partner yet, nor do I intend to! Thanks, guys!

2008-07-30T10:19:00.000-06:00

We are pleased to announce the availability of our first two products in our Health Assist™ targeted wellness line, MJ Assist™ and FM Assist™, two all-natural dietary supplements formulated with Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils. We would also like to announce the availability of our first product offering in our DōTerra Spa line, Spa Therapy Bath Salts, a custom blend of therapeutic bath salts from around the world that provide a soothing and detoxifying medium for using DōTerra essential oils in therapeutic bathing.

MJ Assist™ Muscle and Joint Formula
Whether from a long day on your hands and knees in the garden, a training run for your upcoming 10K race, or keeping pace with your teenagers on a weekend mountain hike, we all experience occasional muscle and joint discomfort associated with today’s active lifestyles. As we age, our bodies don’t seem to respond the same way they did when younger, and we may experience muscle and joint discomfort more frequently.

Many of the over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceutical solutions for muscle and joint discomfort can be accompanied by negative side effects such as stomach discomfort resulting from the inhibition of the COX-1 enzyme which protects the stomach’s lining. MJ Assist is an all-natural alternative for temporary relief of muscle and joint discomfort. MJ Assist’s fast-acting formula is made with safe and gentle therapeutic-grade essential oils that support your body’s response to physical activity with no harmful side effects.*

Wholesale price: $29.50
20 softgels (20 servings per box)

FM Assist™ A Monthly Formula for Women
Millions of women suffer from the unpleasant side effects associated with menstrual cycles. PMS discomfort can include cramps, bloating, nausea, and headaches. Such discomforts are never well timed and can ruin any woman’s plans for the day or party for the weekend. When symptoms of PMS arrive, a woman needs immediate relief to continue functioning at a high level.

Over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceutical solutions for PMS discomfort may only address some symptoms associated with a woman’s menstrual cycle. Some products target headaches while others target cramps and may be accompanied by undesirable side effects. FM Assist’s fast-acting blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils is an all-natural alternative for temporary relief of monthly PMS discomfort, cramps, bloating, nausea, and headaches.*

Wholesale price: $24.50
15 softgels (7+ servings per box)

DōTerra Spa Therapy Bath Salts
Therapeutic bath salts have a long history of traditional health care applications and are enjoying a resurgence of use in modern health spas offering therapeutic bath treatments. Bath salts are used to revitalize skin, soothe sore muscles, and for detoxification. They also function as excellent carrier medium for essential oils used in bathing therapies. DōTerra Spa Therapy Bath Salts are a blend of exotic spa-grade bath salts sourced from around the world that provide a soothing, detoxifying medium for therapeutic bathing with DōTerra’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils.

Wholesale price: $14.50
1 lb. re-sealable bag

DōTerra Announces Insect Repellent Blend

2008-06-11T16:58:00.000-06:00

DōTerra is proud to announce the forthcoming launch of TerraShield™ Repellent Blend.

As reported recently in HealthNewsDigest--"DEET is commonly known as the king of mosquito repellents, though not everyone is keen to slather it on their skin. A study conducted in the late 1980s on Everglades National Park employees to determine the effects of DEET found that a full one-quarter of the subjects studied experienced negative health effects that they blamed on exposure to the chemical. Effects included rashes, skin irritation, numb or burning lips, nausea, headaches, dizziness and difficulty concentrating. Duke University pharmacologist Mohamed Abou-Donia, in studies on rats, found that frequent and prolonged DEET exposure led to diffuse brain cell death and behavioral changes, and concluded that humans should stay away from products containing it."

DōTerra's "TerraShield" Repellent Blend includes only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils. Oil of lemon eucalyptus, which is derived from eucalyptus leaves and is the only plant-based active ingredient for insect repellents approved by the CDC, is one of the oils found in this new blend. This new blend of oils will be up to 10 times more effective than DEET.

Look for the launch of this new product within the next 2 weeks.

DōTerra's Official Launch Celebration!

Mark your calendars! October 17 & 18 are the dates of DoTerra's official launch event. The celebration will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Little America Hotel.

Don't buy perfume oils thinking they are the same thing as essential oils. Perfume oils do not offer the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.

These benefits do not occur with the use of perfume oils.
