Why dōTERRA?

Don’t compromise! Use the best!

I was introduced to doTERRA, Essential Oils in July 2016, at that time I had a few questions such as. “Who and what is dōTERRA? “What makes their oils so special”? and “Why should I choose them over anyone else”?  
In this post, I will not compare dōTERRA to any other Essential Oil company but,
I will explain why I choose to align myself with them.

The Birth of dōTERRA

In April 2008 a group of health care and business professionals came together with a mission to bring Essential Oils into every home. They formed a company and named it dōTERRA. The Latin meaning “Gift of the Earth.”

CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade

At the time of dōTERRA’s inception, there was no standard of quality for Essential Oils, so they set about establishing one. Since then all of dōTERRA’S oils have been put through numerous amounts of 3rd party testing to ensure they are safe, pure and of the highest quality. dōTERRA’s set of standards is called CTPG “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade”.

If an essential oil isn’t pure it runs the risk of putting germs, and heavy metals, or adulterants into or onto your body. The risk of provoking an irritation or an adverse effect is significantly higher. Without doTERRA’s CTPG testing there would be no way of knowing if an oil has added fillers, synthetic ingredients or other harmful chemicals added to it.   

For an oil to be CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade it must be:

• Pure and natural, with aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants.
• Free from fillers or artificial ingredients, no dilution of active qualities.
• Free of contaminants, pesticides, or chemical residues.
• Rigorously tested for standards of chemical composition.
• Cross-tested using mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to ensure exact purity and composition potency.
• Sourced by a global network of leading essential oil chemists and growers to ensure, correct species are grown in ideal environments, and that the raw plant materials were carefully harvested at the right time.

dōTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing ®️

Through industry-leading responsible sourcing practices, dōTERRA maintains the highest quality, purity and sustainability in partnership with its growers.

Each dōTERRA Essential Oil is carefully grown and distilled from plants, grown mostly in their indigenous environments. These plants are then harvested at the most optimal time, for their greatest efficacy.

dōTERRA works with communities throughout the world to ensure their growers & distillers are paid a fair, reasonable and timely price. Many of these communities are in developing countries where in the past, had been at the mercy of ruthless cartels. dōTERRA’s Co-Impact Sourcing helps create coalitions for growers and distillers to ensure this standard is kept. These coalitions also work with the communities to provide the resources, tools and training necessary.

In 2018 through its global sourcing efforts, dōTERRA supported 122.095 jobs and positively impacted 541,349 lives.

A quote from one of dōTERRA’s founders sums it up perfectly.

“To the children who we pray for daily, we say: Your long night is coming to an end. Hold on. We are on our way. And to those captors and perpetrators, even you monsters who dare offend God’s precious children, we declare to you: Be afraid. We are coming for you.” –OUR.

doTERRA Markets their oils through Direct Selling. Also known as Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing. Where most other businesses invest millions of dollars in advertising and marketing on TV, radio, print media and all the rest, doTERRA prefers to give the small business owners ( Wellness Advocates) that money.

Wellness Advocates help customers make conscious decisions about their purchases. They build relationships that provide support and education not often seen in a brick and mortar setting.

When consumers purchase from dōTERRA it is highly likely they will reorder and share those oils with others. dōTERRA prides itself on its customer satisfaction, product value and a powerful compensation plan for those wishing to promote and sell their products.
