Essential Oil Science
The dōTERRA difference is that while something else may provide correction of a symptom, it does so by pushing your system out of balance — like a crutch — to compensate for a weakness in the body. Essential oils work to keep the body into balance, so things work as they should. Please don't misunderstand me here- I'm a fan of modern medicine. There's a time and place for it and I'm truly thankful for educated doctors and nurses helping and saving lives every single day. On this page I'm referring to informed self care - I'm not a doctor.
dōTERRA essential oils have the ability to penetrate cell membranes, and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues.

Essential Oil Safety:
While dōTERRA essential oils are very safe and gentle, they are also very powerful and very potent and should be used with care. Never put essential oils in the eyes, ear canal or up your nose. Dilute with a carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil) or unscented lotion- NOT water. Dilute on young children and sensitive skin and expectant mothers. If you're debating on whether to dilute or not, always err on the side of caution and dilute. Use an empty veggie cap and place a few drops of oil in for safe ingesting.
