 One of the soap artist that I follow on Twitter is Kenias Soap. I find she is in Nashville/Gordonsville, Tenn. Since I grew up in the Nashville area and my Dad’s name was Gordon, my ears pricked up. Never heard of Gordsonville and wonder just where it is in conjunction to Nashville?

Oh well, Kenia and her Etsy shop is what is interesting and worth knowing about. She has been making soaps since 2003, and is about to celebrate her first year anniversary with Etsy.

 A couple of weeks ago, I had an interview with Joni Lang of Dr Mom Oils. She can answer your questions concerning essential oils and of course, as a consultant with doTERRA  Joni has them for sale.

Last week my husband ended up in the hospital over night for heat exhaustion. If I had know about this particular essential oil it might not have happened. Joni told me that next time he is outside in the heat make sure he has some peppermint oil to rub on the back of his neck.  It will help to bring down his body temperature. Learn more great uses for Essential oils on Joni’s site.

I am so glad to now have Joni and her essential oils as an advertiser on this site. I hope all of you that use essential oils for health purposes or in your products will click on her ad. You will thank me for it.

  • Why did you decide you and your family would benefit from taking/using essential oil

I first heard of Essential Oils over twenty years ago, but didn’t understand.  Was re-introduced about five years ago, and loved the way I felt after using them.  I begin to learn as much about them as I could because I knew I could take care of my family’s health from a more holistic approach with the oils.  I also had an amazing speedy recovery from an infected blister using Oregano oil, and I was hooked!

  • Which ones in particular do you use/take and how have they helped?
I could never live without Peppermint Oil. I mostly use it for headaches and digestive issues, but it has such a variety of uses, like cooling a hot-flash, or keeping a burn from blistering.  I also love Ginger for anything digestive and Wild Orange is quickly becoming another one of my favorites, I love the way it uplifts my mood, and it tastes great in my water. doTERRA also has several blends, but my favorites are a calming blend called Serenity, and an uplifting blend called Citrus Bliss.
 
  • What is therapeutic grade oils and what does that mean?
Therapeutic grade essential oils are 100% pure natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants, and are known to have powerful healing properties.  They do not contain fillers or artificial ingredients that would dilute their active qualities. Therapeutic grade essential oils help to stimulate the immune system, have antiviral properties, are anti-infectious, also antibacterial, antiseptic, and even anti-fungal. doTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils are guaranteed to be 100% pure and natural and free of synthetic compounds or contaminates. They are subjected to rigorous mass spectrometry and gas chromatography testing to ensure extract composition and activity. doTERRA’s 100% pure essential oils represent the safest and most beneficial essential oils available today. In short, therapeutic grade essential oils can be used for a variety of healing benefits for both physical and emotional well-being.
 
  • Am I buying from you or doTerra? I am confused as to how this works?
dōTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils and essential oil wellness products are sold exclusively through Independent Product Consultants who, working from home, introduce, educate, and sell dōTERRA products for which they receive sales commissions.  So while you purchase oils from my website, they are shipped directly from doTERRA so that you can be assured of quality and purity.
  • Can these be used in soap and skin care products?
Absolutely!  Because of their purity and quality, doTERRA’s essential oils are the perfect choice for soap and skin care products.
  • Why should I use your essential oils over someone elses?

dōTERRA  essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize dōTERRA’s superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade essential oils.

 
doTERRA is the only company in the world that has CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade)
essential oils.
Pure – 100% natural, no artificial ingredients, fragrances, or fillers
Safe – Certified to be free of pesticides and other chemical residues
Potent – Standardized active compounds
Tested – Tested by independent laboratories, not by in-house staff or vendors
 

To understand the difference of pure therapeutic grade essential oils try this at home: Compare the smell of dōTERRA’s 100% lavender essential oil to another lavender oil or product in your home. If your product’s fragrance is overbearing in any one note it may contain synthetic chemical substitutes. A 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oil should have a balanced, broad fragrance profile and should smell crystal clean. Now, compare the feel of your product to dōTERRA’s essential oil. A pure essential oil should not feel slick or oily but rather absorb cleanly and completely into your skin.

 
 
  • What is the best way to purchase essential oils from doTERRA?
 
You can purchase doTERRA essential oils directly from my web page.  When purchasing oils from doTERRA, you have three different options.
 
1.  Purchase them for retail price.
2.  Pay a one time $10 fee and become a preferred customer and purchase at a discounted price.
3.  Set up a wholesale membership and purchase products at 25% off retail.
     (for a limited time you can set up a wholesale membership for free until May 31st)
 
With a wholesale membership, there are NO monthly minimum purchase requirements, and you do NOT have to set up an Autoship.  However, if you find that you are purchasing oils on a regular basis, then auto-ship is a great idea because you can earn reward points for free product. You can always change the date and the products of your auto-ship, and you can cancel it at anytime with no penalty.
 
  • Why did you choose to become involved with doTERRA?
 
I have used and tried essential oils from a few different companies, but I always felt like something was missing.  I felt like there was something better.  I wanted pure therapeutic grade essential oils that I felt safe ingesting and that were 100% pure.  I heard about doTERRA in January of 2009.  The more I learned about the company, their quality standards and their mission, the more impressed I became.  I knew I had finally found what I was looking for in an essential oil company and a business that I could be proud to represent.  In short, I loved what I had found.  I was most impressed with the fact that they had a Scientific Advisory Board with real Doctors and real Scientists with real degrees who are continuing to do research and promote further study and application of therapeutic-grade essential oils in modern health care practices. Whether you are looking for pure essential oils to take care of your family’s health, or to use as ingredients in your soaps and body products, you will not find a higher quality brand of essential oil than doTERRA’s.
 
I hope you will take the time to learn more about our company and our products, then experience the quality of doTERRA for yourself.
