With the H-1-N-1 scare, many are asking what can be done to protect our families against Swine Flu and other illnesses. With children in school and interacting with friends, neighbors and coworkers, we constantly find ourselves surrounded by coughing, sneezing and runny noses. It can be difficult to ensure the continued health of our families. A couple of simple tricks will help ward off the many infections and bacteria we come in contact with each day. 1. Diffusing essential oils is a common way to keep the environment around us clean. Studies have proven the effectiveness of diffusing essential oils. Oils such as On Guard, Lavender, Melaleuca, and Purify are especially effective at killing airborne bacteria and viruses while boosting our immune systems. 2. Washing our hands regularly has always been an effective way of warding off illness. A recent article in the New York Times shows the benefits of washing with solutions containing Cinnamon essential oil, one of the ingredients of the doTERRA On Guard Foaming Hand Wash. Cinnamon essential oil is very effective in killing bacteria and other contaminants. 3. Other uses for essential oils include applying On Guard essential oil to the bottom of the feet morning and night or adding a little of your favorite citrus essential oil to some water to help boost the immune system. Another ancient and easy to use essential oil mixture is called Thieves oil. To make this mixture, combine cinnamon, lemon and eucalyptus. This mixture dates back to the Middle Ages and was used by thieves who would steal jewelry from the dead bodies of plague victims. Those who used this mixture never got sick. Thieves oil, when made with doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils, can be taken internally or applied topically. For over a century it has been impossible to get Birch essential oil in it’s pure form. This is due in a large part to the high demand for the oil in the early 19th Century. With the high demand, the availability of the oil diminished and the quality was degraded. Once they learned to make the desired components synthetically, it became even more difficult to find.
Both Birch and Wintergreen both have a high amount (99.9%) of Methyl Salicylate, a natural Cox Enzyme inhibitor. Birch also has some additional components such as Linalool and Limonene that add to it’s application possibilities. Many cultures have used Birch over the centuries to treat different symptoms. The Native Americans used it for headaches, muscle aches, cold, fever and digestive problems. Birch can also be used for the following:
Fun Fact: Birch can be used as a natural teeth whitener. Add one or two drops of Birch to your toothbrush after you finish brushing and brush with the oil to naturally whiten your teeth. Now until September 15, 2009, you can get a bottle of Birch and Peppermint for free with any order of 200PV or more. Place your order now to take advantage of this offer.

A question that people often wonder is what distinguishes doTERRA essential oils from all of the other oils on the market today. The explanation to this is an easy one. doTERRA is committed to providing the highest quality oil available on the market and isn’t afraid of additional tests to ensure that each batch meets this high standard. The doTERRA founders looked at the current essential oil standard, “Pure Therapeutic Grade,” and felt that it wasn’t high enough. The phrase “Pure Therapeutic Grade” has been applied to essential oils to distinguish the higher quality oils from those that are inferior in quality. About 2% of oils sold in the US today meet the “Pure Therapeutic Grade” standard. doTERRA wanted to create a method to identify the best of the best out of that 2%. To qualify as “Pure Therapeutic Grade” each oil must go through a Gas Chromatography test. This scientific method checks the basic components of an essential oil and verifies that the components required for the oil to work in accordance with FDA studies actually exist in the oil. If the required constituents are not in the oil it can’t be AFNOR or ISO certified. To raise the essential oil quality bar, the doTERRA founders defined a new standard for essential oils: “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” or “CPTG.” To meet this new standard, each batch of oil must meet the current “Pure Therapeutic Grade “ standard and then in addition to those requirements, each batch also must go through a mass spectrometry test as well. This test verifies that the amount of each required constituent is correct for each batch of oil to ensure maximum potency. In addition, this test also ensures that no additional ingredients such as weeds, pesticides or synthetics are in the oil. This allows doTERRA to guarantee that every batch is 100% pure, natural and free of synthetics.
Because of the rigorous testing each batch of doTERRA essential oils go through, they are the safest most beneficial oils available on the market. Even individuals that have had a history of problems such as skin irritation using other essential oils have found better success with doTERRA oils because of the purity. This scientific explanation is nice, of course, but the easiest way to see the difference in our oils is to try them out first hand. The difference in quality and purity is easy to identify with a side-by-side test and is very noticeable in the aroma, touch and potency. Contact us today so you can experience the difference in doTERRA essential oils for yourself. Diffusing essential oils in your home or office is a perfect way to help relieve tension, dispel odors, and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. When diffusing, essential oils have been reported to support the immune system and create a feeling of balance and well being. So…why should we diffuse oils? When the great flu epidemic of 1918 was in full swing, gauze masks were worn over the face in attempts to keep from inhaling the lethal virus. It didn’t work…The virus was many times smaller than the openings in the gauze. Many volunteers who wore those masks lost their lives, thinking they were safe, removing the dead from homes and city morgues. They simply inhaled the virus right through their masks. Today, we know that by diffusing a micro-fine, vaporized mist of therapeutic-grade essential oils into an enclosed atmosphere, potentially life-threatening viruses and bacteria are rendered harmless. With the threat of super bugs growing ever more resistant to vaccines and antibiotics, diffusing essential oils makes more and more sense. It simply is the ultimate home health care defense against life-threatening organisms. While diffusing essential oils will not stop a person from being infected outside of the home, it does create an infectious free zone of air within the home you can use to protect your loved ones. Breathing air diffused with essential oils attacks any virus or bacteria lining the respiratory tract which may have been inhaled outside of the infectious free zone. It also keeps the infection from spreading to other family members. It may be years before every household routinely diffuses to keep the air purified and free of infectious organisms, but these devises are available today. Our preferred diffuser is the Lotus diffuser (you can order it from our website). It has a special air pump designed to disburse essential oils in a micro-fine vapor where they stay suspended for several hours to reduce airborne infectious pathogens, fungus, mold, and freshen the air with natural fragrances. When essential oils are diffused, the molecules are broken up into micro-fine mist particles. These mist particles stay suspended in the air for long periods of time. Not only does this reduce bacteria, mold and odors in the air, but these micro-mist particles also benefit those who inhale them. Diffused oils don’t just mask odors; they actually alter the structure of the molecules that create odors – rendering them harmless! They also increase the available oxygen in the room and produce negative ions. Diffusing releases oxygenating molecules as well as negative ions, which kill microbes. Testing at Weber State University proves conclusively that diffusing essential oils kills life-threatening airborne micro-organisms. Research also shows that cold-air diffusing certain oils may:

This ensures that the oils are not only 100% pure, but also that there is the right amount of constituents in each oils. It also checks that there isn’t anything in there that shouldn’t be – like pesticides and weeds. |
