Running to the Dr every time is costly! MONEY—Premiums, co-pays, prescriptions TIME—Office visits, insurance forms, sick time HEALTH—Synthetic chemicals, harmful side effects CONTROL—Confidence, intuition, peace of mind 4 things to consider: 1 – MONEY : insurance costs----if you HAVE insurance + $10 - $30 co-pays at each visit with several visits can add up to $30- $60 minimum + 10 - $100 co-payment on each prescription 2 – TIME: making the actual appointment and going to it + filling out insurance info and trying to understand the statements! + SICK TIME required if you work 3 – HEALTH : pharmacology/prescriptive drugs and over-the-counter medications often have side effects + introduce synthetic chemicals to the body 4 – CONTROL: are you confident in your healthcare provider ? + do you know what to do instinctively but fear consequences of going to an MD?

Research Validates Natural Healing Approaches “Nearly 40 percent of adults used integrative therapies last year, according to a new government report, most often to treat chronic back, neck and joint pain, arthritis, anxiety, high cholesterol and head or chest colds.” "Studies show that $2.5 trillion is being spent in a system that is not improving the overall health of our citizens," according to the institute. "Incidents of chronic disease are on a sharp rise and by 2023 will cost our nation $4.3 trillion." -Chicago Tribune, January 14th, 2009
How Can You Naturally Approach Seasonal Health Concerns? Find protection in every drop of dōTERRA oils! Therapeutic-grade essential oils— a natural healthcare alternative.
What is an Essential Oil? Natural aromatic compounds in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Nature’s Living Essence! For those of you who are not familiar with essential oils, let me tell you about these powerful drops of plant extract. Essential oils the natural aromatic compounds found in plants. They are usually steam distilled , but some like citrus oils are cold pressed from rinds. This picture shows you a Peppermint leaf on the left. On the right you see a magnification of the leaves with the small oil sacks on the leaf surface. To create Peppermint essential oil, they harvest thousands and thousands of pounds of leaves and compress them in a vat and steam is run through the plant material. The water and vapors move through a piping system and at the end of the distillery process you get 2 things – floral water for perfuming, and essential oil to tap off for health use. Essential oils are the LIVE essence of the plant. Unlike herbs which are dried, essential oils carry all of the active chemical constituents that the actual plant has itself. This is why they are so therapeutically powerful. Think about what a plant has to do in nature to survive? It has to be able to fight off the elements, disease, contamination by insects, trampling and more! These same characteristics are available to us in essential oils as live, plant extractions. dōTERRA Essential oils are HIGHLY CONCENTRATED---1 drop of dōTERRA Peppermint oil is the same as 28 cups of Peppermint tea! 70 times more potent than dried herbs: ONE drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea! Peppermint
Powerful, Medicinal Properties of EOs Have Been Used for 1,000’s of Years! Analgesic Antibiotic Antibacterial Antidepressant Antifungal Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidant Antiparasitic Antiseptic Antispasmodic Antiviral Astringent Decongestant Digestive Disinfectant Diuretic Expectorant Immune System Strengthener Sedative/Relaxant Stimulant Essential oils have been used for 1,000’s of years for medicinal purposes. Each oil has a multitude of chemical constituents that provide medicinal value, typically 5 – 8 different things it can do to help in healing. This is a “laundry list” of just some of the therapeutic qualities essential oils hold. Most all oils are antibacterial, antiviral and antiseptic-----so you can be comfortable passing along the bottle and trying it as you are naturally protected by its content. In our presentation you’ll see some of these listed on each oil I’m going to share with you. Each oil has MANY of these properties. For instance…Peppermint is: - an Analgesic for pain relief - Anti depressant for the psyche - Anti-inflammatory for muscles and joints - Anti-spasmodic for muscle contractions - Decongestant for lungs - Digestive for the stomach - Expectorant for the respiratory system - Stimulant for the mind
How Do You Care for Your “Health”? Toxic load? Unwanted side effects? Expired products? Synthetic solutions that often don’t work! (REMOVE THIS SLIDE IF YOU DON’T WANT IT THERE) When I became familiar with some of health concerns essential oils could address instead more effectively and naturally than using over-the-counter remedies, herbal remedies and prescriptions…. My friend pulled her “stash” out of her medicine closet….and look what she found! This is just for 2 people…. stomach problems colds & flu asthma and allergy remedies warts & skin cracks antiseptics dental help pain relievers sunburn pain and insect bite relief WOW!! Here’s what you also need to keep in mind. All of these products have an expiration date. The essential oils I am going to share with you tonight will literally last for GENERATIONS if you keep the lids tightly sealed. The citrus oils last about 30 years. But compared to having to toss out all these synthetic solutions….natural essential oils make a GREAT long-term investment! Can’t we consider choosing something healthier for our health and the health of our clients?
Essential Oil Production Synthetic Perfume /Industrial Therapeutic Health Benefit Food GRAS Standard I’d like to explain a REALLY important point about QUALITY of oils. The circle in the middle represents the entire universe of worldwide essential oil production. The top left box shows us SYNTHETIC oils…which is represented proportionately by the blue in the circle. Most oils on the market are not natural at all, but are chemical combinations of fragrances that are used in perfuming, in commercial aromatherapy in stores, and for products like soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents and more. The green circle represents the next largest percentage of essential oil production – this is FOOD GRADE that are considered Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS). This would be oils used for flavorings like soda pop, packaged foods, cake mixes, candy. The purple dot represents the percentage of THERAPEUTIC GRADE. These are “essential oils” that you find everywhere from the Dollar Store to Whole Foods. They are commercially-available oils . Some are tested for purity, MANY are not. Some are diluted with Jojoba oil or Almond Oil and some have toxic extenders in them. ALL of them say “For External Use Only” “Keep Out of Reach of Children”, etc. dōTERRA is committed to providing only THE finest quality essential oils in the world. They only sell and distribute CERTIFIED PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE essential oils. © 2008 DōTerra Intl, LLC Confidential and proprietary information. Unauthorized duplication strictly prohibited.
Highest Quality Essential Oils in the World ONLY dōTERRA = Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oil Quality is CRITICAL! PURE—Every batch GCMS tested, 100% natural, no artificial ingredients, fragrances, or fillers SAFE—Highest quality sourcing POTENT—Standardized active compounds So what is a CERTIFIED PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE oil or CPTG? dōTERRA guarantees that each bottle of their oils is completely PURE, SAFE and POTENT They perform two sets of laboratory tests on both the sample batch and the final batch of each oil they distribute. These tests are performed by an independent laboratory. The tests are called GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY and MASS SPECTROMETRY. The Gas Chromatography test tells them exactly what constituents are in the oil. The Mass Spectrometry tells them if anything was added to the oil such as any plants with pesticides, the wrong plant, or even fillers a distiller would have added. Any oil that fails to meet the dōTERRA templated standards, is rejected!! This is SOOOOOO important and what makes dōTERRA unique. In fact, they stamp all their oils with this CPTG code to help you be assured that these oils are SAFE and have only the compounds they are intended to have. dōTERRA offers a natural healthcare alternative….therapeutic grade essential oils. Their essential oils are a wonderful compliment to your current healthy lifestyle choices like eating right, exercising, restful sleep and more. What I also love about essential oils is that in this 15 ml bottle (hold one up)….there are 250 drops of oil. Since we only use 2-5 drops per application, that means you have as much as 125 “doses” in one small bottle. I think you’ll discover what a cost-effective and powerful, natural health tool dōTERRA’s essential oils can offer as we share them with you. Also note that dōTERRA’s oils are undiluted, and therefore VERY concentrated and strong. 1-3 drops does the same thing therapeutically as 10 of another brand! Highest Quality Essential Oils in the World
3 Simple and Safe Models for Use Aromatic Diffusion Purify rooms or change emotion Diffuser Drop in hands Drop on tissue Spray on a surface or nearby Just open/smell from bottle Topical Application Apply directly to skin or in a carrier oil Internal Use In a capsule, under the tongue, in water or honey There are 3 ways we can use essential oils. The first is by Aromatically Diffusing oils. Let me start by saying that we typically use anywhere from 2 – 5 drops of an oil per application. So no matter what method you use, that is the quantity you typically use. Like the unique dōTERRA Lotus Diffuser I have running over here (point), we can diffuse oils into the air to benefit everyone who is breathing in the area. This particular diffuser is fantastic because it has a small device inside it that vibrates at 10,000 vibrations a minute, creating this misting effect. We all know oil and water don’t mix, so as the water molecules are being fractionated into mist, the essential oil is riding on the mist into tiny particles that we can take in through our nose to effect our entire system. You don’t have to have a diffuser like this to take in oils aromatically though. You can put a drop on your hand and cup it around your nose and inhale. You can put a few drops on a kleenex or cotton ball and put it in your car vent. You can add it to a spray bottle and squirt it into the air. You can simply open the bottle and in hale the beautiful scents. Whichever method you choose---when you inhale an essential oil, your body takes the scent in through your olfactory system. This creates change in the limbic system which is thought to be the primary part of our body where emotion is generated. So, we use oils to effect MOOD or EMOTION and because we’re taking oils in through our lungs when we breathe, they effect our RESPIRATORY system. The second way we use essential oils is by applying them TOPICALLY. This is how most people are familiar with oils or scents. We can put a few drops of an essential oil into a base carrier oil or lotion and apply it to our skin or feet. Many of these oils we can apply “neat” or undiluted directly to the area of concern. We use oils topically for both the local effect ---like aching feet, a headache, or sore muscles. But once we apply the oil to our tissue, the body begins to move the therapeutic value throughout our system and we therefore effect the entire body system in time. The third way to use oils is INTERNALLY. Tonight we are serving you LEMON WATER….which is one of the ways you can take in the powerful therapeutic effects of essential oils. Just a drop in a glass of water and you’re getting all the value of hydration and antioxidant protection in one….plus it tastes good! You can put a few drops of essential oil in a vegetable capsule (like this one) that you get at the health food store. You can put drops right under your tongue Add them to water, any beverage. The reason we take oils internally is to target the internal organs such as our DIGESTIVE system, our MOUTH, our THROAT, or organs such as the LIVER and our UROGENTITAL TRACT. Oils taken internally will have a rapid effect as they hit our blood stream quickly. Very safe and gentle Keep out of eyes, ears, and nose Dilute with oil, not water Check for skin sensitivity with first time use
