Where Essential Oils are Sourced Matters dōTERRA has made the commitment to source our essential oils from artisans who grow aromatic crops in the indigenous soils of their land and follow our stringent growing and harvesting quality standards. This allows dōTERRA to not only offer the world’s finest essential oils, but to also impact the economy in a positive way on a global scale. Isn’t it wonderful to know that the bottle of essential oil you are using today is not only benefiting you but also the person who so carefully grew it for your benefit? Plants grown in traditional or indigenous environments yield better results because the natural elements specific to that region promote a more therapeutic profile of the aromatic compounds produced by the plant. For example, Where your oils are sourced matters. Although lemons grow readily in the United States, the therapeutic values are not as beneficial because the growing conditions that exist in its native land cannot be duplicated. dōTERRA Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil, is indigenous to Sicily. The rich soil conditions, the salty, humid air from the Mediterranean Sea and rocky, mountainous terrain all contribute toward the sweet lemons that have made this region so famous for its citrus production. There is a saying in Sicily that, “lemons aren’t real unless they are Sicilian.” Although lemon oil can be acquired from the US, Argentina, or other regions for a much lower price, dōTERRA is committed to sourcing their oils from indigenous regions that produce the highest quality essential oils. For dōTERRA, it’s not about price, it’s about results! Producing essential oils that meet the dōTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade standard is a skill requiring years of experience. It takes the work of a dedicated artisan at each step, from growing and harvesting to fine-tuning the distillation process, dōTERRA only partners with the best. **This information was edited from an article originally published in the dōTERRA Fall 2013 Living Magazine. ***Please IM ōil Emissaries, Kay or Christopher at Essential Oils+ if you would like to purchase dōTERRA essential oils.
