If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you might have more use for essential oils in your life than you think. While some view essential oils as mysterious or complicated, they can be used for household cleaning, cooking and baking, improving well-being, and more. Along with the applications for everyday life, many enjoy essential oils because of their health benefits, as well as their postive effects on emotions.

While some may think that using essential oils for personal care is messy, inconvenient, or the same as using other hygienic products, it is important to note that essential oils provide a pure, non-toxic way to care for the body, and are easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has produced a list called Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), which identifies essential oils as safe to be used internally as non-medical constituents. The GRAS list provides general safety suggestions as well as information about plants and other substances that have a well-documented history of safe internal use. While there are essential oils with applications that extend beyond this list, the GRAS list is a credible resource to help confirm the safety of using essential oils internally.

Traditionally, certain essential oil application methods have been preferred or used exclusively. However, as the research surrounding essential oils continues to develop, a greater understanding of application methods is now understood. All application methods are safe when used appropriately, including aromatic, topical, and internal methods. One or multiple application methods can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends in one of three methods.

It is fortified with the proprietary doTERRA On Guard Protective Blend of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils, which provide natural protection against certain environmental factors while elevating the overall cleaning capability.

Essential oils come from plants, fruits, and compounds found in nature, and therefore present a safe way to receive internal benefits. You are most likely already incorporating essential oils into your daily diet, as many of the foods we eat contain a small amount of essential oil. Because our bodies are designed to metabolize and process natural compounds like plants and fruit, we are already equipped to metabolize* essential oils.

To protect the integrity of the essential oil’s delicate chemical profile, all distillation methods require careful attention to time, temperature, and pressure. Each of the aromatic compounds that make up an essential oil has a different sensitivity to heat. Some molecules will remain completely unaffected by high temperatures while others are very delicate and can be destroyed if the temperature of the system gets too high. Meticulous control of the distillation conditions is vital to successful essential oil production.
