Essential Oils

Last week, I had an opportunity to experiment with various essential oil brands.  Knowing that no two brands are created equal, I have been on a quest to find the best of the best, while still keeping my price point affordable.  Until now, Aura Cacia has been my essential oil brand of choice.  I have also used Now Foods Essential Oils, but found their quality lacking when compared with Aura Cacia.  Back to last week.  I met with a representative from doTerra.  Since I possess a vast knowledge of essential oils, including their properties, healing powers, and how/when to blend them, we were able to have fun, and not just make this about education.

The most telling aspect of the session was when we performed a side by side comparison.  We chose to compare Lavender.  The brands compared were Aura Cacia and doTerra.  The first was in smell, which I can not convey to you in a blog other than through my own words.  Aura Cacia, which has been suitable to meet my needs for the last two+ years, is suddenly dull smelling next to doTerra's Lavender.  The next experiment, which I would not have thought to try on my own, was a game changer for me.  Performed over my (very obvious with super pale skin) veins on the underside of my wrists, my right arm received two drops of Aura Cacia Lavender, and my left arm received two drops of doTerra Lavender.  The right arm remained unchanged.  The left arm, however, experienced plump veins as they readily accepted the essential oil in to them.

I have never been more sold on a product before this moment.  Yes, it appears to me that doTerra is a pyramid company, like most other sell-at-home products.  Yes, doTerra is priced higher than other essential oil brands.  And yes, I am now a doTerra representative.  You can find me here.  When my oils arrive, I will take photos of the wrist oil experiment and share them with you.

It's important to note that I plan to use my doTerra membership to purchase high quality essential oils for the products I make.  If you would like to purchase doTerra, I will not try to stop you, but I am also not in this to be a pushy sales rep.  I will, however, tell you that if you plan to buy as many as I am, it's worth your while to be your own representative and buy the oils at wholesale prices.
