Are Essential Oils Safe?

The age old question, “Are essential oils safe?”. Well, the answer is both yes and no. Well, “Jenn, why would you say that?” The answer is actually simple. Not all essential oils are created equal and as a result you could find yourself with a big disaster on your hands if you aren’t using a pure essential oil.

I know you’re going to tell me, “but I see so many bottles in stores that say pure on the label, so if I buy those I’ll be fine, right?” Wrong. A study completed in 2018 by Aromatic Plant Research Center confirmed that of 50 essential oil brands tested only 3 were 100% pure and of those 3 only dōTERRA® is the one trusted and used by the medical community in clinical research and in medical practice. That number is pretty staggering, right!? Really makes you question how on earth those other 47 oils are permitted to be sold. The reason is because there are no regulations when it comes to the essential oil industry in North America and so a company can write “pure” on their product label when in fact it is not. It may be filled with fragrance (which are toxins), synthetics and fillers and may do more harm than good to the body.

So, in short, if you were to ask me, I’d say stick with the one brand of oils which are the most trusted, pure and potent in the world; the ones used in clinical research and in medical hospitals around the globe. Trust me, after 6 years of use for myself and my child with nothing but positive results, I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
