Essential oils are aromatic compounds found in plants. Have a read of What are Essential Oils to learn more

CPTG stands for Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. There is actually no regulation of the essential oil industry and so doTERRA coined the term. The essential oil industry has some very low grade, synthetic oils that are easily accessible and they seem from the bottle to be of the same standard as some of the higher quality therapeutic grade oils such as doTERRA. As there was no standard in place doTERRA felt the need to create one so they could regulate against it with their products and you can find out more here

doTerra oils are beyond Organic! So what does that actually mean? Did you know organic certification is not what you may think! Were you aware that individual countries have different specifications as to what constitutes Organic? Basically that means that what Australia sees as organic may not be the same as what Haiti sees as the requirement to be classed as Organic. As doTERRA source their oils from all over the world this would prove to be a massive headache and most of the countries where the oils are sourced to be Organic does not come close to the standard required by doTERRA of CPTG (see above for more details) CPTG guarantees the oils are free from any residues such as pesticides, herbicides. extenders or solvents regardless of where the oil is sourced. This makes the oils far beyond pure and organic and you can read more about the companies commitment to producing the purest oils in the world here

LRP stands for Loyalty Rewards Order. When you place monthly orders you can earn yourself points to use on FREE products. Watch this video to learn more and this one to find out how to place your first LRP order on your account. 

doTERRA imports the oils into Australia as food grade oils. That means they are safe and suitable to use internally. There are a few things to think about before you start to use them internally.

Not all doTERRA oils are suitable for ingestion. Check the bottle for information as to whether the oil is safe for internal use. It says on each and every bottle. There are many aromatherapists who are against internal use and can be quite vocal and this is ok as if the general information given to the public was that essential oils are safe for internal use we know not all oils are created equal and some are synthetic and certainly should not be taken internally. 

I never advise in my workshops for or against any application of essential oils what I do though is provide you with ways I have used the oils for my family and my experiences with them. I share the resources available so that you can make an informed decision as to whether internal use is for you as it is your personal choice. If you decide internal use is not for you rest assured you will get the same benefits whether you use the oils aromatically, topically or internally. You can read more here

Store the essential oil in room-temperature conditions and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (leaving oils in the car during summer, on window sills etc.). Avoid exposing the oils to direct sunlight or other sources of UV rays. Prevent prolonged exposure to oxygen which can cause oxidation of the oil over time (forgetting to put the lid back onto the bottle!). Tightly secure the caps after each use (prevents the oils from evaporating and decreases exposure to oxygen
