What are essential oils?
If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. Essential oils are steam distilled from roots, stems, leaves and flowers, or cold pressed from the rind of a citrus fruit (sounds amazing!) An essential oil is a teeny- tiny (microscopic) sack that sits on the plant. These oils protect plants from environmental threats (extreme temperature), insects, animals and illness. Basically, we are taking a que from mother nature! The oil that provides immunity to plant life- helps boost our immunity and our ability to combat the range of conditions that surround us!
How do essential oils work?
Essential oils are carbon based, as we are (we are so compatible). Given our harmonious qualities, our bodies know exactly how to put the oils to use! Which means, THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS. Furthermore, because we are so in sync, oftentimes “less is more.” One or two drops of this wonderful potion does the trick.
You can use doTERRA essential oils 3 ways:
Aromatically
Internally
Topically
How do we get an essential oil?
The most common method of extracting essential oils is a low-heat steam distillation process. In this process, pressurized steam is circulated through plant material. The essential oils are liberated from the plant and carried away by the steam. When the steam cools, the water and oils naturally separate and the oil is collected. To ensure the highest quality oil extract and optimal chemical composition, the temperature and pressure must be closely monitored. Too little heat or pressure and the oil will not release; too much, and the oil’s composition and potency will be affected.
Steam Distillation
Steam distillation is the most common way to extract aromatic compounds (essential oil) from a plant. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs. As the vapor mixture flows through a condenser and cools, it yields a layer of oil and a layer of water. The essential oil rises to the top and is separated from the hydrosol (floral water) and collected. Since different plants require different environments for optimal growth, the distillation method is ideal and an effective tool for obtaining the purest compounds.
Proper distillation demands a consideration for careful and meticulous use of pressure, temperature, time, and harvesting practices, each of which may be as diverse as the plants themselves. A poor distillation process can alter or destroy the necessary aromatic compounds that comprise the essential oil, leaving a substance far different from the intended goal and something that would not be used to support health and wellness. For this reason, the best distillation artisans dedicate their efforts and work to only a few select plants. This focused effort develops proper knowledge and experience, helping ensure congruence between the oil chemistry of the plant and its distilled form.
Expression
Unlike steam distillation, expression, also known as “cold pressed,” does not involve heat. In this process, oil is extracted from the source under mechanical pressure. doTERRA uses expression to extract all of its citrus oils, such as Wild Orange, Lemon, Lime, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, from the rind.
Why doTERRA?
When it comes to my family’s health, only the top-of-the line products and essential oils will do. I must be 100% confident that what I purchase is free from adulteration, pesticides and synthetics. The essential oil industry is growing at a fast rate. These oils are popping up in mini-marts, franchises, and other companies who do not ensure that the product is pure and reputable (remember that conversation we had about expression and distillation- extracting this oil properly is no easy task!). It is important to use a product that is reputable and trustworthy.
There are two major factors that play a role in the effectiveness and quality of essential oils: Plant Potency and Oil Purity
1. PLANT POTENCY
When selecting which plants are to be used for essential oil production, it is important that the plant is grown in the correct soil, temperature, and climate. Given an optimal environment, a plant and its essential oils, will be able to reach its highest potency.
doTERRA is a unique company because they source their oils from all over our wonderful planet. The oils are extracted wherever the plant grows best. Therefore, when you choose doTERRA, you are choosing essential oils gently and carefully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment. The company works with experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy.
This is the one of the main reasons why I chose to get started with doTERRA.
2. OIL PURITY
Did you know there is no enforced regulation over essential oils?
Many of these bottles that claim to be “100% pure oil” are actually very poor quality and/or highly diluted/adulterated. doTERRA’s quality standard for essential oils is considered Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. Each doTERRA essential oil is carefully and thoroughly tested using the strict CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade quality protocol. An experienced and non-experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize the superior and natural quality standard.
