9. Raw material
harvested
and distilled from
natural habitat

shipped to
dōTERRA
Secondary

1. Organoleptic
2. TPC/Microbial
3. FTIR scan
4. Specialized testing

bottled and labeled
Final Validation
1. Organoleptic
2. TPC/Microbial
3. FTIR scan
4. Specialized testing
Essential oils
released for sale
1. Organoleptic
2. Gas chromatography
3. Mass spectrometry
4. Specialized testing as
needed
11. • Gas Chromatography: Separates the sample into its individual
constituents
• Mass Spectrometry: Identifies them and the percentage with
which they make up the sample
16. ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY
Very safe and gentle without side effects
Keep out of eyes, ears, and nose
Dilute with vegetable oil, not water
Skin sensitivity primary safety issue
Follow all label directions
19. • These molecules bind in distinct arrangement on the receptors
• While there are only 1,000 unique odor receptors, the sequence of
binding can produce over 10,000 individual perceptions of odor
• Aromatic molecules attach themselves to millions of odor receptors
Odor Receptors
20. Odor Receptors
Hypothalamus
• Molecules from the olfactory nerve carry
impulses to the hypothalamus
• Different hormones are released based on
the stimuli that is received
• Serotonin=Sedative
• Noradrenalin=Invigorating
23. Topical
• Apply the oils to the
area that if affected
• Dilute with carrier oil
for young & sensitive
skin
• Apply to bottoms of
feet

26. Internal
• Specific to dōTERRA
• Use as a supplement
for targeted wellness
• Detoxifying
• Use glass or stainless
steel container
• Use veggie capsule
31. Although there are a
variety of antiemetic drugs
available to treat nausea,
none of these have been
shown to be totally
effective and they all have
potentially unpleasant side
effects.
32. Evidence suggests that inhaled
peppermint essential oil can relieve
postsurgical nausea.
33. Control Group
Received no treatment
Placebo Group
Received peppermint essence
Experimental Group
Received peppermint essential
oil
34. Conclusion
• Overall, the experimental group
(using Peppermint essential oil)
reported less nausea than the other
two groups.
• Interestingly, the Placebo Group
(using Peppermint Essence) reported
their severity of nausea to be more
than twice that of the experimental
group.

36. Protective essential oil attenuates
influenza virus infection
BACKGROUND:
Influenza is a significant cause of morbidity and
mortality.
H1N1 influenza virus has stressed the importance of
the search for effective treatments for this disease.
Essential oils from aromatic plants have been used for
a wide variety of applications, such as personal
hygiene, therapeutic massage and even medical
practice.
37. Results
• Influenza virus infectivity
was suppressed by
essential oil treatment—On
Guard Blend.
• Embryonic viral particles
released from influenza viral
cells was reduced by 90%
when treated with 1:4,000
dilution and by 40% when
treated with 1:6,000 dilution.
• Oil treatment of the virus
also decreased direct
infection of the cells as the
number of infected cells
decreased by 90% when
treated with 1:2,000 dilution
and by 45% when treated
with 1:3,000 dilution.
38. • Based on DNA & protein analysis, On Guard stops the protein
coat at the Enodplasmic Reticulum
• Suppressed H1N1 Virus and decreased direct infection of the
cells

CPTG testing protocol, from the moment doTERRA receives an essential oil from a global supplier to a final test of a finished bottle before it is made available for sale.
The evaluation of the essential oils by their physical and aromatic properties by testing for any bacteria, yeast, mold, etc. that may be present.
Identifies the chemical bond functional groups by the absorption of infrared radiation that excites vibration modes the the bond.
Complex reactions occur when an individual breathes in the aroma of an essential oil. In the olfactory region of the nose, individual aromatic molecules attach themselves to millions of odor receptors which have a direct connection to the olfactory nerve and limbic area of the brain by way of direct interaction with the olfactory bulb.
Different odors bind in distinct arrangements on the receptors. While there are only 1,000 unique odor receptors, the sequence of binding can produce over 10,000 individual perceptions of odor.
When an aroma is smelled, stimuli from the receptors in our nose are sent to the Hypothalamus and it reacts according to the aroma.
Based on DNA & protein analysis. On Guard stops the protein coat at the Enodplasmic Reticulum
