Last September, I got to meet Dr. Hill, the Chief Medical Officer of doTERRA. It was brief meeting as I prepared to receive recognition for achieving a new rank in my doTERRA business, but truly an honor.
I have so much respect for Dr. Hill’s humble nature, and his dedication to truth, science, and purity of essential oils. But, also, his commitment to helping people and bringing us the most cutting edge information through his research and relationships including those with top universities.
We are so lucky to have Dr. Hill as one of our executives! I love the way he takes the most complex chemistry, and shares information in a way that makes it easy to understand. I really enjoyed reading this article because, in my own experience, I knew the essential oils were working for me, but I wasn’t sure why or how. As a midwife and researcher, I love knowing the WHY and HOW things work, and as a mom, I’m committed to making sure that anything I put on or in my kiddos, is pure and free of contaminants or adulteration.
Learning more about the chemistry can seem daunting which is why I love how Dr. Hill breaks it down for us. He gives an easy to understand explanation of the science behind how and why these drops can do so much for our wellness and specifically addresses these questions:
If someone is allergic to a certain plant, can they still use the essential oils that come from those plants?
How do chemical constituents in essential oils affect us?
What’s the difference between Cinnamon Bark and Cassia essential oils? Is one better than the other?
And he includes his recommendations.
What other resources have you found that help you understand the ‘why’ behind your favorite oils?
