There’s doubt about it: wherever you go, whether your local pharmacy, grocery store or to your favorite skincare shop, essential oils are on the rise more than ever. Though essential oils have been used for thousands of years, it wasn't until recently that mainstream media and shop outlets began mass producing these tiny jars around the world with one single purpose: offering remedies for individuals suffering from chronic illnesses and diseases, to mental and physical health.
One of the many companies focusing on cultivating their brand, while providing customers around the world with such remedies is doTerra, a health-care company aiming to create the highest quality oils specifically designed to improve a persons mind and mood.
doTerra, which in Latin means ‘Gift of the Earth,’ was founded in 2008 to provide what they claim: ‘The purest essential oils so individuals and families may redeem their mental and physical illnesses, while providing exceptional standards of quality’ (via doTerra). Unlike its competitors, doTerra utilizes a direct selling model per client, to determine which essential oils package would be benefited the most. To do this, doTerra wellness advocates work one-on-one with new patients, conducting which single blend essential oil and/or package would be best to alter their mental or physical state.
While the company initially began with 25 single blends and 10 regular blends, doTerra has introduced more products based on spa, nutrition, and healthy living habits through their technologies and wellness mission. Although essential oils are used as holistic treatments, they are not a cure for all, as scientists have yet to find evidence to prove such claims (via GoodHousekeeping).
Despite this, doTerra has become one of the leading essential oil companies, even providing communities within the U.S. economic resources through their in-house foundations, all aimed to enhance mental and physical wellness. Today, over 2 million people worldwide use doTerra products for such cases as anxiety, severe stress, mental disorders, in addition physical defects such as hair loss, lack of sleep, colds, infections and more.
While it’s unclear how far we are from having holistic treatments be the one and only cure for diseases, doTerra continues to strive as one of the paramount leaders in universal medicine, offering clients worldwide a more natural form of remedy.
