What are Essential Oils?
Natural Aromatic Compounds from Plants
Essential oils are complex aromatic chemical compounds extracted from plants from around the world. They come from the leaves, bark, stems, fruit, flowers, roots and other parts of the plant.

There are three main ways people use Essential Oils:
1. Aromatic - breathing, smelling the oils
2. Topical - applied to skin

to food or drinks

They work with the local communities to help provide basic needs for clean water, medical clinics and schools. doTERRA also gives financial support to several organizations such as Operation Underground Railroad to help stop human trafficking.
