dōTerra Aromatics, Independent Product Consultants (IPC) for dōTERRA^®

Why not have another source for the highest-quality essential oils anywhere?

dōTERRA^® is a brand new wellness company, offering you the highest-quality, certified pure therapeutic-grade^® (CPTG^®) essential oils and oil blends, cutting edge supplements and specialty products, as well as aromatherapy information and references, to empower you to achieve optimal health — for you and your family.

dōTERRA^® also has an exciting home-based business opportunity that has the potential to empower you to thrive, even in the hardest economic times.  And, with the introduction of dōTERRA's Family Physician^® Kit, you now have one of the most powerful tools for building a successful business in the health and wellness industry, showing others how they can be self-empowered to meet most of their healthcare needs for themselves and their families, using safe and effective — and natural — therapies, incorporating essential oils.

But why have another essential oils company?

Since its founding, Young Living Essential Oils set the standard for quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils.  They literally defined the term "therapeutic-grade".  And, along with their fine oils and oil-enhanced products, Young Living developed some revolutionary aromatherapy applications, including the RainDrop Technique and using essential oils with the Vita-Flex Technique.  For many (including myself), they redefined the meaning of health.

But, in the last year, dōTERRA^® came along and, with its certified pure therapeutic-grade^® (CPTG^®) essential oils, raised the bar on the meaning of "therapeutic-grade".

My personal story

I have been an Independent Distributor with Young Living since about 1997.  Using the oils gave me back my life; they enabled me to climb out of over 30 years of severe disability, to start my own company.  I owe a lot to Gary Young and Young Living, for all the benefits I've enjoyed these past years.

But, someone contacted me about dōTERRA^®, sending me some samples of frankincense, lavender, lemon and peppermint oils.  I was something of a hard sell, and fiddled around with attempts to test the oils in comparison to what I had been using.  Then, for some reason, I applied some of the dōTERRA^® frankincense to my temples.

Unbelievable!

The instant I applied the oil, it felt like an electric bolt shot through my head.  (I've since found that all of dōTERRA's oils are very energetically active — and effective.)  Even though I had been using frankincense (and blends containing frankincense) reguarly, it never had the energy-balancing effect I found with dōTERRA^® frankincense.  It was utterly amazing.

I enrolled with dōTERRA^® that day.

The rest of the story

Although the people of dōTERRA^® feel strongly about leaving the past behind them and focusing on what makes dōTERRA^® special, I feel that you deserve to know some of the rest of the story.

Over the past few years, several people had left a major essential oils company.  But, they shared profound personal experiences with the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils, and still wanted to be involved with the essential oils.  But, which oils were they to use?

After searching around, in the spring of 2008, they came upon some oils that were unbelievably good.  They had exceptional purity, truly wonderful aromas — and they were amazingly effective.  For many, it was like discovering aromatherapy all over again. 

And so, after seeing how powerfully effective oils of such purity could be, this group of healthcare and business professionals got together and began talking about bringing you these oils through dōTERRA^®.  They came together with a common vision: To bring a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world.  They wanted something different, that would appeal to all people, from those who knew nothing of essential oils to those who were considered the experts in the field, and asked themselves 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 could 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?"

They concluded that, with the hard work and commitment of others with a similar passion and vision, they could and would create a new paradigm for essential oils.  With that conviction, they organized a company and named it dōTERRA^®, a Latin derivative meaning "Gift of the Earth." 

dōTERRA's first offering of 25 single oils and 10 oil blends was introduced for sale on April 25, 2008, to the acclaim of essential oil experts and product enthusiasts, who immediately recognized the superior quality of dōTERRA's certified pure therapeutic-grade^® essential oils.

In addition to ongoing development of new essential oils and proprietary essential oil blends, dōTERRA's future product offerings will include nutrition, spa and healthy living products, based on essential oil technologies and a comprehensive wellness philosophy of nutrition, exercise, rest and stress management, reduction of toxic load, informed self-care and proactive healthcare.

dōTERRA^®: A different kind of wellness company

dōTERRA^® truly is a different kind of wellness company.  Although it deals with powerful natural products to support optimal health, it's solidly rooted in real science, building a bridge between natural healthcare and mainstream medicine.  dōTERRA^® works with doctors and hospitals to do the research needed to demonstrate the healing power of certified pure therapeutic-grade essential oils and cutting edge dietary supplements.

Science-based wellness through dōTERRA^®

Sadly, over the years, there has always seemed to be a wall between natural health products and allopathic medicine.  But, at dōTERRA^®, there is an emphasis on science, both in the demonstrable purity and effectiveness of its essential oils and cutting edge research behind its supplements, and it the language used to bring them to the attention of mainstream medicine.

dōTERRA^® definitely is a new kind of wellness company, one that I'm proud to be part of.
