Essential Oil Expert
The GREATEST Fan Interview by Kingi Knox
Q: What is
DoTERRA and why should I use it?
A: DoTERRA
is a company that was founded in 2008, with the mission of sharing therapeutic
grade essential oils. DoTERRA means gift of the earth. These oils are of the
highest quality and purest essential oils. DoTERRA created a new standard of
therapeutic quality of essential oils. Their new standard is CPTG or Certified
Pure Therapeutic Grade. When you choose doTERRA, you are choosing essential oils
gently and carefully distilled from plants. The climate and the soil have a lot
to do with their potency.
Q: Is doTERRA an essential oil
for aromatherapy purposes or does it serve health benefits?
A: DoTERRA essential oils can
be used for aromatherapy purposes and they also have many benefits. Each
individual essential oil or essential oil blends affect the body differently.
Some oils are great for alleviating occasional stomach upset, some oils are
great for balancing and toning the skin, some oils relieve feelings of tension,
some alleviating stomach upset, some support healthy bones, healthy heart, and
so much more.
Q: Is doTERRA costly and to
achieve my health purpose what is the duration of something?
A. DoTERRA products are not
costly. Sometimes people tell me that organic food is expensive. These oils are
beyond organic, as they are grown in their indigenous regions. For instance,
lavender is grown and harvested and France and lemon is grown and harvested in Italy.
It is my belief that it is all in what we as individuals value. Do we value our
health more or material things more? These oils are an investment to our
health. In terms of how long someone would have to use the oils to achieve
their health purpose, it depends on the individual and what they are
experiencing. For instance, I like to drink lemon essential oil water three
times a day everyday because it is very cleansing and nourishing to the body.
After my daily workouts I like to use Deep Blue Rub, which is doTERRA’s
soothing blend. It soothes sore muscles and joints. I also take doTERRA’s
Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV) of vitamins daily to get the proper
supplementation, energy, nutrients that support my immune system, and so much
more. My team and I are very big on education so when people purchase oils, we
set up a wellness consult with those individuals and come up with a specific
and individualized oil regimen to suit their personal needs.
Q: Where did this originate
from?
A. Essential oils have been
around for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Indians
used essential oils and recognized the oil’s abilities to influence people’s
emotions. The term “aromatherapy” was not officially coined until the 20th
century and it took many years for people in the scientific field to recognize
the emotional benefits of the oils. In the 1990s biologists started to fully
understand how our biochemistry or our individualized bodies rather, respond to
the effect of scent. It is because of this discovery that we now know that
essential oils have an amazing effect on emotions and moods.
Q: What makes doTERRA different
from any other oils?
A: I mentioned this briefly in
the beginning of the interview, but doTERRA is the only company that had the
Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade or CPTG standard. Each liter of oil is tested
to ensure purity. They are tested for heavy metals, potency, what effect they
will have on the human senses, and more. Rigorous testing is involved to ensure
that these oils are safe to use. There are no synthetics, there are no fillers,
no pesticides, no GMOs, and they are food grade. When I walk into some of these
stores and see some of these essential oils they are selling, some of them
say, “External Use Only”. Whenever an
essential oil says, External Use Only it should not be on the skin. Our skin is
the largest organ on our bodies and whatever we put on our skin filters
straight through the bloodstream. If we cannot ingest the oils then they should
not be on our skin. DoTERRA’s oils are FDA approved for internal consumption.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: No there are no side effects
and that is the beauty of these oils. For instance, if you put Peppermint and
Wild Orange in your water they are going to enhance one another. Peppermint
will give you energy and cool your body down while Wild Orange will uplift mood
and promote overall health.
Q: What are the different types
and what does it serve?
A: There are many different
types of essential oils and oil blends that doTERRA has, but there are 10 most
popular oils commonly used by many. Those 10 oils are: Frankincense, Melaleuca,
Breathe, DigestZen, Oregano, OnGuard, Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, and Deep
Blue oil. These oils serve many purposes, such as balancing mood, helping
occasional skin irritations, promoting respiratory health and clearing airways,
relieving occasional stomach upset and nausea, boosting immunity, cleansing and
detoxifying, relaxation and reducing anxious feelings, energy, and a soothing
massage.
Q: Why do you like the product
so much and why do you think others should be a pat of the doTERRA experience?
A: I like the products so much
because they work. I use them everyday and have seen amazing results using
them, whether it is for skin irritations, balancing mood, stomach upset, relaxation,
circulation, and the list goes on. I can really stand behind these products
because I’ve seen such amazing benefits and have heard so many wonderful
testimonials from my family, friends, and customers who purchase these
products. I am a firm believer that everyone should be a part of the doTERRA
experience. Essential oils are just that, essential. We need essential oils on
a daily basis for a variety of different things. The integrity of the company
is outstanding. This company does what they call co-impact sourcing in which
they partner with growers and farmers in developing countries, giving them
steady jobs and a reliable income. DoTERRA also has Healing Hands Foundation.
In the Healing Hands Foundation doTERRA provides educational resources,
installs drinking water, builds schools, and provides funding. Lastly, what I
like about doTERRA is how the company has created financial freedom for many
people. The compensation plan is phenomenal and I enjoy the fact that I am a
part of training people to become financially free.
