​Have you ever felt totally helpless to help your child or someone you love? Have you ever wanted a better way to care for your loved ones that is safe, natural, and effective? For years, I was the mom who would ride out colds as best we could because I didn't want to go to the doctor and follow recommendations I didn't believe in. I knew there had to be another way to take care of my family in a safe, natural way. Along the way, through some reading, I discovered essential oils. I went to a local health food store and put several to use. For years, I dabbled with some success. 

About 5 years ago, I was introduced to a new line of essential oils that changed my world! The purity, the quality, and effectiveness was beyond my previous experience. As a wife, mother, and woman my mind was opened to the opportunities and possibilities! Here are some of the reasons I use essential oils:

1. doTERRA essential oils work! Because of purity and potency, I got great results for myself and my family. As I began using them and sharing with others, the success stories expanded. Quality matters.

2. I love that essential oils are safe, natural, and work to suppport the body. As my husband says, "We are carbon based life forms and plants are carbon based life forms." Thus, they work together wonderfully!

3.  I feel empowered as a woman to care for my family. I have solutions at my fingertips to help my family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I can help my family. I have tools and knowledge. As an independent woman, I really like this. :)

4.  What started as a love for the oils and a healthy lifestyle turned into an opportunity to earn additional income for my family. doTERRA's business model offers mom's like us the opportunity to share what we love, essential oils, and get paid for helping people get their own membership. For our family, the financial piece was life changing.

Essential oils are produced by plants in low amounts to serve a host of beneficial functions. Oils attract herbivores that help the plant reproduce; they also ward off unfriendly pests, fight off environmental threats, and even allow the plant to heal itself if physically injured. When looking at the plant as a whole, they are composed of a small amount of essential oil—on average, just 1–5 percent of a plant’s total composition. Acquiring even just one bottle of essential oil requires an incredibly large amount of plant material. For example:

Approximately 60 pounds of lavender flowers are required to produce just 16 ounces of essential oil. That is nearly 30 pounds of delicate, lightweight flowers per 15mL bottle!

It requires more than 10,000 pounds of rose petals to distill just one pound of rose oil! In terms of bottles, that is approximately 105 pounds of rose petals per 5mL bottle.

It requires 6,000 pounds of melissa plant to distill just a single pound of melissa essential oil. That equals around 63 pounds of melissa per 5mL bottle.

Nearly 3,000 lemons are needed to distill just over 2 pounds of lemon essential oil. This equals about 50 lemons per 15mL bottle.

When bottled for human use, essential oils are highly concentrated. For this reason, it is important to be aware that using essential oils is very different from using the whole plant material and only a small amount is necessary to induce a powerful benefit.
