Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination.

Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.
Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils.
In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends toward more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.
dōTERRA CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize the superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade TERRA essential oils. (content source)

Hi, what a great website. I have a question in the A-Z list of ailments with Doterra oil remedies do you have to use all products at one time listed ? Or can you choose just one from the list and use? Example of what I mean: sinus congestion; sandlewood, thyme, eucalyptus. Do I use all 3 or choose any of the 3? Thanks so much!
Hi Kim, great question. You can use one at a time.
Hi, This website is wonderful information! I will recommended to my family and friends about this website.
I have one question, I have muscle spasm in small intestine, any idea that I could use essential oils for my small intestine?? I see the deep blue helps muscle spasm, but that for general muscle or specific kind of muscle? Thank you so much.
Hi, I was left comment here few hours then somehow its disappear! I want to ask you about muscle spasm in small intestine, do you have any idea to use essential oils for small intestine? I see the deep blue helps muscle spasm, but I m not sure if that for general muscle spasm or specific muscle? Please let me know if you know any EO can help with small intestine? Many thanks!!! **** FYI this is great website! I will recommend to my family and friends :).
Oh thanks so much. That’s a really good question. I would think rubbing the juniper on the stomach would work. But you never know. I have not tried it personally, so hesitant to recommend. I suggest you see a doctor about the spasms in your small intestine! That sound very uncomfortable. I get what I think are spasms in my intestines with Crohn’s. I drink chamomile tea for that and they eventually let up. It really helps.
I found this resource from a blog: Juniper – has antispasmodic properties. Relieves nerve pain, joint and muscle aches and spasms.
