Skip to content Essential oils are complex, aromatic, molecular compounds that are extracted from different parts of plants, such as leaves, flowers, roots or peel. Only 10% of the world’s plants can produce essential oils – therefore these pure oils are very precious. Plants produce the oils for their self-protection against pests, insects or external environmental influences.
Essential oils work by entering our bloodstream directly through the cell wall via the skin, respiratory tract or digestive organs. They penetrate the cell wall at high speed and take effect within seconds or minutes. They have a positive influence on body, mind and soul. The effect of essential oils is not a new trend. Even the ancient Egyptians used oils for medicinal purposes.
Due to their chemical structure, they automatically have an effect on the mind, body and soul. This has nothing to do with esotericism or spirituality but has a scientific background. There are major differences between synthetic fragrance oils and pure essential oils with therapeutic effects. They work on an emotional and physical level and can be used externally, internally and aromatically.
Essential oils can have a powerful effect on our memory, hormones and emotions via the olfactory system. A particularly gentle and effective method is to use a diffuser, which distributes the fine oil particles in the room air without altering the valuable molecules through heat. The fragrance molecules reach our limbic system directly via the nose and can thus unfold their full effect. At the same time, we absorb the oils through our lungs, which also has a gentle, positive effect on our blood circulation. Alternatively, you can put 1-2 drops in your palms, breathe in the aroma deeply and feel the beneficial effects directly. The aromatic application is ideal for bringing body and mind back into balance, especially when dealing with emotional issues
Thanks to their high purity and quality, dōTERRA essential oils can even provide support from the inside and be used as an effective dietary supplement. Simply add 1-2 drops to a glass of water, place under the tongue or use when cooking. Another option is to take it in an empty capsule (veggie cap) so that the oils can develop their effect in the body via the digestive tract. This allows you to use the beneficial properties of the oils in a safe and effective way to take your well-being to a new level.
Essential oils can be applied topically, i.e. directly to the skin, or gently massaged into the skin. It is advisable to always dilute the oils with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or a neutral lotion - especially for sensitive skin, children and the elderly. The oils work both on the affected area and holistically, as the valuable plant molecules enter the bloodstream via the skin and can thus have a supportive effect throughout the body. Massages, compresses or the targeted application of a drop to the desired area enable local application, while dilution is gentle on the skin and at the same time optimally supports the effects.
Did you know that 1 drop of peppermint is about as strong as 28 cups of peppermint tea?
