Essential Oils.... Nature's playful essence at our fingertips
Now I must say, essential oils have been one of my absolute favorite ways to stay healthy, happy and playful in my holistic health journey! These concentrated plant extracts conveniently place the healing gifts of nature right into our hands. You can literally do SO many things with them, diffuse them into the air, add them to your recipes or directly use them on your body. Keep in mind, this is not the case for every brand of essential oils, and that's why I only use DoTerra, a medical grade company of Essential oils that is approved by the FDA.
Essential oils have become a staple to my daily life. I bring them EVERYWHERE with me! When I find myself at music or yoga festivals, sacred ceremonies or just hanging out with a friend, I am known as the essential oil fairy!
How to use Essential Oils
The doTerra Difference....
They are pharmaceutical grade. You cannot ingest other essential oils unless they have this distinction. Having their nutritional facts labelled properly and approved by the FDA.
Used in hospitals around the world. Getting FDA approval is a big process. Their laboratories are patented and inspected consistently.
Taking herbs, fruits, vegetables and flowers and making a super concentrated form that can enter through the bloodstream barrier to allow for instant effects on the body's nervous and immune system.
Every oil has its own unique benefits to the body and mind.
