There are A LOT of companies out there that sell essential oil! Now I want clear something up right from the get go...just because a company boasts that their products are 100% organic or wild crafted, that does not mean that those products are pure or therapeutic when being packaged and sold. The dictionary definition of organic is "relating to, yielding, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant of animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics or pesticides." which basically just means that the plant is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, nothing else in that definition is taken into consideration. Also the term "wild crafted" just means that the plant was grown outside in a "wild" habitat and not necessarily in a region that is the most beneficial to getting the highest quality oils.
While doTERRA came highly recommended to me from friends, that wasn't the only thing drawing me to this company. Not only are the plants grown and harvested in their natural habitat, they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG), beyond organic, verified pure, and free of fillers, pesticides and foreign contaminants. How do I know this? Because doTERRA does 3rd party testing to ensure their oils are pure, genuine, authentic and potent and the results are certified to show this!
Every other company that I looked up did their own testing, in-house. That is a HUGE red flag for me! The testing most essential oil companies do are ONLY to ensure specific required constituents are present in the oil, and they don't test the therapeutic levels of those constituents. They do not test for things that shouldn't be there (like weeds which also can be organic)! I absolutely cannot put my faith, my trust, my family's well-being, in the hands of a company that handles their own testing!
The other thing I did was read through reviews on amazon, and while reviews can sometimes be a little misleading and shaky, you can generally get a good idea of a product by reading through several if you can, and boy could I! I wasn't comfortable with some thing that I read about a couple of the companies, one specifically that had to do with one of their founding members. Now whether these "rumors" are true or not, they just didn't sit right with me. In the grand scheme of things, I really didn't need to read the reviews to get involved with doTERRA, but they definitely helped solidify my decision!!
