doTERRA is a US-based company that has been selling therapeutic-grade essential oils since 2008. They pride themselves in being one of the first to standardise only the highest quality essential oils from around the world as Certified Therapeutic Grade (CPTG).

Aromatherapy has been described as the practice of using natural oils to help enhance one’s wellbeing. These small vials on pure essential oils can be used to help sleep, uplift, calm, and even keep sickness at bay. I don’t believe they are the end all and be all of modern medicine, but I do believe that your well being has a lot to do with your your senses and the senses of smell and touch play crucial roles.

I recently purchased doTERRA’s Family Essentials Kit through doTERRA Therapy Philippines. These 9 bottles of essential oils were chosen for specific tasks. Here are the attributes of each essential oil or essential oil mix as described by doTERRA.com. Read till the bottom and get a chance to win doTERRA goodies for yourself and some friends.
