How Aromatherapy is Beneficial for Health
April 03, 2008
Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical wellbeing. Aroma therapists blend therapeutic essential oils especially for each individual and suggest methods of use such as topical application, massage, inhalation or water immersion to stimulate the desired responses.

Essential Tips for Aromatherapy
March 25, 2008
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. Even if you only intend on using aromatherapy in your lifestyle for the sheer enjoyment of the aroma, essential oils that are breathed in can offer therapeutic benefits. These benefits do not occur with the use of perfume oils.

Some great thoughts from a few of our new happy friends!

From Amanda--I have had great experiences with the doTerra essential oils I have been given to use and would like to share them. I have suffered with depression and anxiety for 7+ years and have always wanted to find a natural way of gettng relief and lifting a heavy mood. After reading quite a bit about what essential oils can do for people suffering from depression and anxiety I put my faith to the test and went completely off my medication and am doing just fine using some of the suggested oils effective for this problem. I am so EXCITED to have this product and want to share it with anyone who wants to hear. As for my family, My husband is using oils for better rest at night, heartburn, aches and pains and is very open to them. My youngest son also has had a cold this week and for the first time I have sworn off the over the counter medictions we would normally give him to mask his symptoms, and have tried Eucalyptus,Lemon, Peppermint, and Lavender, and he has recovered amazingly and without any discomfort and in a few days time. WOW ! I'm a believer! Have I mentioned I am excited?

From Bill--The good news is that I received your samples and am very impressed! Thank you for sending them. They not only smell much purer and better, but I can indeed immediately feel a vibrational difference. These samples are exceptional, so now I am officially interested and very motivated to explore all possibilities with DoTerra!

From Nicole--Our family has been using DoTerra Essential Oils for a while and we love them! DoTerra Essential Oils are amazing, and they work so well. At first we were skeptical about them, but we have had many wonderful things happen since we started using them. And now we couldn’t be without them. When our family was in the beginning stages of using the oils, our youngest son became sick, he was just crying and lying around and not moving much. This time I was so grateful we had the oils at home, since we knew what the problem was we came home and used the essential oils. Shortly after applying them my son felt fine, and didn’t even act sick. Since then DoTerra essential oils have help with our sons earaches, cough attacks, warts, headaches/migraines, pain in the back, nausea, the list goes on and on….we have had so many amazing things happen. It has been so nice to be able to use essential oils without the worry of side effects of medicine.

From Rob--Since having access to DōTerra oils, one of the first things that me and my wife have done is made blend of Lavender and Lemon in a coconut oil carrier. Because Coconut oil is solid at about 75˚ I slowly melted down 2 tblspns. Then I added about 10-20 drops each of Lavender and Lemon. The smell is out of this world, and assumed it would have a very "calming" effect on the kids, among other benefits. Every night around bed time, we take the blend and begin massaging their feet with the application. Not only is it a bonding opportunity for us, but it is obviously very calming to them. They will often fall asleep during the massage. The most exciting thing however, is that my wife and I have noticed that they wake up clearly having had a very effective night of sleep. They awake, quickly, with positive attitudes, and greatly refreshed. The amazing thing is that there are times that we miss the opportunity to apply oils to one of the kids. The contrast between them and the other kids is outrageously palpable. The other helpful effects cannot be clinically verified, but we can report that since daily using these oils on the kids, we have also pushed through one of the most sever seasons of cold and flu going on around our family and the unfortunate effect on their friends, schoolmates, and neighbors. However our whole family seems to be dealing better with these infectious illnesses. A coincidence? We can't be sure, but personally I'm drawing the initial conclusion that dōTerra oils are incredible.

These statements have not been evaluated by the U.S Food and Drug Administration, are the sole responsibility of the maker, and may not be typical. DōTerra products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

An Open Letter of Welcome

Dear Friends,

Several months ago, we came together with shared passion and vision of bringing the knowledge and benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world. We wanted to be different and we wanted to be better and asked ourselves some defining questions—"What if we could provide the world with a new and powerful wellness alternative?" "What if we could provide this new level of wellness through a mainstream approach to essential oils?" "What if we source, test, and manufacture a higher quality of essential oil more pure and more potent than any other oil available on the market today?" "What if we, in a most professional manner, could partner with major hospitals, doctors, scientists, and opinion leaders to provide the most compelling authentication of essential oils on the planet?" We concluded that, with the hard work and commitment of others with a similar passion and vision, we can and will create a new paradigm for essential oils in the world. With that conviction, we organized a company and our lives haven't been the same since. We named our company DōTerra which is a Latin derivative meaning "Gift of the Earth."

DōTerra is committed to the natural and empowering ideals associated with essential oils. Leveraging largely untapped sources from around the world, DōTerra essential oils will meet rigorous standards of a new testing paradigm for essential oils to be labeled Certified Therapeutic Grade™. Our first product samples are noticeably different than anything we have experienced in our many years in the industry. Whether you are new to essential oils or a seasoned expert, you will immediately recognize the superior quality of the oils with your first experience. We look forward with enthusiasm and joy to make our first products available to consumers very soon.

We appreciate the early interest in DōTerra expressed by many already committed to bringing the many benefits of essential oils to a broader audience. We also welcome a growing number of new people who are just starting to learn about how essential oils can change their lives and the lives of others around them. We have come very far, very quickly over the past few months and we are working very hard to bring our shared vision to reality soon. We commit to you our full heart and effort to this process. Please check our blog, www.doterra.com for continued updates including informational meeting schedules.

Sincerely,

The DōTerra Executive Management Team

Business Model


We are attracting strong Independent Product Consultants with the prospect of using essential oils personally and reselling them to their friends.

Consultants will earn retail profit, free products, bonuses and commissions as they:
1) Demonstrate and sell our essential oils to customers;
2) Sponsor purchasing customers and other interested people to become consultants in their organizations;
3) Train new consultants to sell and build successful careers;
4) Qualify as leaders and develop other leaders in their organization.

Product Consultants are offered the opportunity not only to buy products for their business at wholesale prices with very little cash investment and very little financial risk, but they can start their own home-based business.

Three Ways To Use Essential Oils

Essential oils can be used in one of three ways—

1) Topical application including massage, warm packs, cold packs, compress, bath, shower, and direct application (the most common way).

2) Aromatherapy—diffusion of oils into the air aids in mental and emotional wellness and also reduces fungus, bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors.

3) Internal and oral use as a dietary supplement—Many essential oils are Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) or certified as Food Additives (FA) by the FDA and may be taken as dietary supplements. Direction from a knowledgeable health professional is recommended for all dietary supplementation.

Successful First Sign Up Meeting!

Wow!!! It was magic. Justin Harrison, our Lead Master Distributor, was, well..."Masterful". Dr. Hill was Awesome! We had 40+ of our most excited new friends of DoTerra. Most, if not all, were brand new to oils and network marketing, but many of whom have already achieved high levels of success in their lives.

For our third meeting ever, and first opportunity to sign up, we were very very pleased! It is absolutely true that we have a long long way to go. We are in humble beginnings for sure, but this kind of response just fuels our fire!

Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™


We will provide Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ (CPTG™) essential oils. There are four grades of essential oils - 1) Grade A essential oils are pure therapeutic quality (highest grade) and are usually made from naturally (often organically) grown plants distilled at the proper temperatures using steam distillation. This is the category that all of DoTerra's essential oils and essential oil-enhanced products are in. Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) testing standards will be used to "Certify" the highest quality standards in the industry, meeting or exceeding ISO and AFNOR standards.

The other categories of essential oils (for reference) are as follows: 2) Grade B essential oils are food grade; they may contain synthetics, pesticides, fertilizers, chemical/synthetic extenders, or carrier oils. 3) Grade C oils are perfume grade and may contain the same type of adulterating chemicals as food grade oils. They also usually contain solvents which are used to gain a higher yield of oil. 4) Floral Water is a byproduct of the distillation process and can be very high quality if it comes from a Grade A distillation process. Accordingly it is of very low quality if it comes from poor quality raw materials and/or poor distillation processes.

The Scientific History!

Antiviral and Antimicrobial Properties of Essential Oils, by Dominique Baudoux (Excerpts)

During the 1960s, Dr Jean Valnet gave rise to the rebirth of aromatherapy, which split up into several schools, allowing thousands of doctors to get familiar with an anti-infectious technique not acknowledged by medical schools. Encouraged by hundreds of thousands of patients, a wide-ranging movement was born.

Anti-Infectious Properties
Antibacterial

This is the most widely studied area of essential oils; this property is the only one that is really well-known and used regularly. In fact, many people associate 'aromatherapy' with 'anti-infectious therapy'.

The capacity of essential oils to neutralize germs is now irrefutable. Experimental studies were undertaken in France by Chamberland as early as 1887. In I888, Cadeac and Meunier published the results of their own research (Annales de l'Institut Pasteur). Many in-vitro confirmations were performed by pharmacists and doctors; results were conclusive. In his book, Antiseptiques Essentiels, published in 1938, René-Maurice Gattefosse described the already considerable advancement of the research.

Molecules with the highest anti-bacterial coefficient are: carvacrol, thymol and eugenol; all three are phenols. Not a phenol (but related, with a benzenic core), cinnamic aldehyde has an anti-infectious activity comparable to phenols. Thanks to these four molecules, any aromatherapy-savvy practitioner will be able to master most common infections.

Alcohols with ten carbon atoms (or monoterpenols) come immediately after: geraniol, linalool, thujanol and myrcenol, terpineol, menthol and piperitol are the most well-known. Reliable, broad-spectrum molecules, they are useful in numerous cases of bacterial infections. Aldehydes are also somewhat antibacterial; the most widely used are neral and geranial (citrals), citronnellal and cuminal.

Ketones are interesting for the treatment of mucupurulent infectious states (usually a strictly indirect action): verbenone, thujone, borneone (camphor), pinocamphone, cryptone, fenchone, menthone, piperitone and carvone.

Anti-Fungal
Fungal infections are a hot topic today, due to the overuse and abuse of antibiotics by most members of the medical profession; as we all know, antibiotics are first and foremost microscopic fungi. The molecular groups with the strongest antibacterial action are also active on fungi. However, treatment must be over a longer period. Fundamental studies have also revealed the anti-fungal activity of alcohols and sesquiterpenic lactones.

Antiviral
The mad parasites of any and all forms of life, viruses give rise to pro-teiform pathologies, some of which medical science can do nothing to cure. Classic responses to these infections are very limited, so essential oils are a godsend in treating viral problems, from the most common to the most fearsome.

Molecules from many chemical families have shown an in-vitro antiviral activity, among them monoterpenols and monoterpenals.

Ketones, and especially rare cryptone, have shown an interesting capacity to fight naked viruses.

Aldehydes, whether used internally or in the atmosphere, are good complementary treatments for patients with viral infections.

Generally, viruses are highly sensitive to aromatic molecules, and some severe viral pathologies may show a vast improvement following their use. A fact of the highest interest, unearthed during fundamental research and clinical experiments: normal cells of patients under aromatic treatment seem to acquire a special resistance to viral penetration.

(end of article)

Other examples of published articles on essential oil research, especially those in medical journals:

Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt's book "Medical Aromatherapy" has a list of some basic research, including the following:

1960: Maruzella demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal effects of hundreds of aromatic compounds

1987: Deininger and Lembke demonstrated antiviral activity of essential oils and their isolated components

1973: Wagner and Sprinkmeyer in 1973 did research on a 170 year old blend of distilled oils still available in Germany. The effects of melissa and the other oils in Kosterfrau Melissengeist had been empirically known since Paracelsus (about 1500). They concluded that, with varying degrees of intensity, there was an inhibiting influence on all the bacteria tested, (Pneumococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphlococcus aureus haemolyticus, Neisseria catarrhalis, Streptococcus haemolyticus, Proteus vulgaris, Hemophilus influenza, Haemophilus pertussis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli-Aerobacter group, various Corynnebacteria, and Listeria) and stated the large spectrum of this inhibitory action is as broad as or even greater than that of wide-spectrum antibiotics.

Schnaubelt lists even earlier basic science research showing it has been known a long time that essential oils have antimicrobial effects:

1800-2002: Numerous animal and in vitro studies - evidence that all essential oils are antiseptic, some more than others and that many are effective against certain fungi, bacteria and viruses.

1881: Koch demonstrated the bactericidal action of essence of turpentine against anthrax spores

1887: Chamberland demonstrated bactericidal activity of essences of oregano, cinnamon and clove on bacillus anthracis1910: Martindale showed essential oil of oregano is the strongest plant-derived antiseptic known to date, 25 to 76 times more active than phenol on colobacillus.

The Problem

Unfortunately, Western Medicine focuses on diseases and not people, leaving gaps in physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. For this reason, bridges must be built between the millions of Americans practicing alternative medicine and the powerful world of modern medicine. Many people utilize mainstream medicine for diagnosis and basic information, while turning to alternatives for what they believe to be health-enhancing measures. Studies indicate that a majority of people use alternative approaches in conjunction with conventional medicine.

Wellness is already a major concern and continues to rise in America. According to Paul Pilzer, a leading wellness industry authority, and others, they project the $400 billion Wellness industry to be the next trillion dollar U.S. industry by approximately 2010. This is a growth rate of $250 million per day. This growth is being driven by the aging baby boomer generation and by the modern lifestyle which is full of stress, pollutants, toxins, lack of exercise etc, all of which fuel premature aging and increase in disease.

Western medicine and Alternative Medicine worlds are merging, but people do not know how to take advantage of this opportunity. In three separate research surveys that surveyed 729 schools in the United States (125 medical schools offering a MD degree, 19 medical schools offering a Doctor of Osteopathy degree, and 585 schools offering a nursing degree), 60% of the standard medical schools, 95% of osteopathic medical schools, and 84.8% of the nursing schools teach some form of CAM. Increasing the funding for research of alternative medicine techniques was the purpose of the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine. NCCAM and its predecessor, the Office of Alternative Medicine, have spent more than $200 million on such research since 1991.

Friday, February 8, 2008

The Team

Dr. David Hill, D.C.: Dr. Hill is well known throughout the industry as a premier knowledge expert on wellness and essential oils. As the former administrator of a well known health clinic, Dr. Hill managed a staff of over forty professionals for several years, treating hundreds of patients in the process. For the past three years, he and his team have developed educational seminars that have been seen by literally tens of thousands of people during his tenure. The demand for such education continues to grow which made these seminars a significant profit center. Dr. Hill has authored and published a number of very successful books, brochures, and pamphlets. The latest book to be released was Nature’s Living Energy, which sold out its first printing in less than a week. Dr. Hill’s ability to communicate effectively with other medical professionals quickly wins their respect and trust. He also has the innate ability to communicate with the mainstream public regarding health issues, proving solutions in a language they can understand. His sincere interest in each individual makes him an immediate favorite with all who know him.

David Stirling: Dave has extensive experience and education in business management, with BS and Master degrees in business. He has most recently chaired the executive management team for a large essential oils company, which team took the company from near bankruptcy to a solid position of profitability, doubling revenues in just over three years.

Monday, February 4, 2008

Competition and The Market

We are investing our own money in creating a person-to-person direct selling company, educating consumers about essential oils, and bringing the products to market. We will compete in the $30 billion U.S. direct sales channel with Avon, Amway, Mary Kay, Nu Skin, Tupperware, and others. The major consumers in the multi-billion dollar global essential oils market are the United States (40%), Western Europe (30%) and Japan (7%), with trade in essential oils and related products increasing at roughly 10% per year. We already have very strong customer and distributor prospects in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Taiwan. We anticipate pre-launch activity starting in April/May of "08 and an August/September '08 official launch.

The solution to the problem

Essential oils and natural extracts are the “soul” of a plant, possessing tremendous power and energy. As a rule of thumb, it generally requires anywhere from one to ten tons of flowers or plants to produce slightly more than a liter of essential botanical oil. For healing and therapeutic purposes, these oils must either be used in their purest and most concentrated forms or combined with common “carrier oils” for everyday use. Over 300 identified aromatic plants throughout the world yield their precious oils (or nature’s living energy) when properly distilled. Each oil contains the ability to aid in the relief and treatment of basic everyday physical and emotional wellness. Our key suppliers source for us the most pure and potent essential oils in the world. For example, our Frankincense actually comes from Oman, not from India as is the case with other competitors. By demanding the strictest quality standards in the industry, we will generate the most pure and premium essential oils on the planet. We also have access to advanced technologies that promote consumption by users of the product. We further anticipate a premium package for the products and expect to employ delivery systems familiar to the average consumer.

Friday, January 25, 2008

In The Beginning...

Essential oils have been prized for thousands of years for their healing properties, but for the last 100 years the oils have been overshadowed by the advent of modern or western medicine. We intend to restore pure essential oils to their once prominent role in the healing process in the United States and throughout the world. We will do this by creating a direct selling company that brings alternative medicine and traditional medicine together. Direct selling empowers tens of thousands of consultants to efficiently and economically share the message of essential oils with their family and friends, thereby making these precious oils widely available among mainstream populations. In bridging medical traditions we will partner with well-known authority figures like Dr. David Hill, and other well-known institutions, doctors, scientists, and high-profile promoters of essential oils.

Health and wellness is a primary concern for most people today and is projected to be the next trillion dollar industry, and many people are looking for more comprehensive solutions in addressing spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellness. In essence, they seek to experience a total healing of oneself. Modern medical doctors have made vast improvements in the science of treating physical disease, but have largely ignored these other aspects of healing. Further, individual patient experiences and a steady stream of additional discoveries expose modern medicine as full of gaps, missing links, and endless questions. For this and numerous other reasons, many people suffer every day with pain in one form or another, and either do not have access to or do not trust modern medicines.

..And so it begins by naming our company DoTerra..which in Latin means "Gift of the Earth".
