🌿 Important Reminder About Essential Oil Safety 🌿
I recently revisited a powerful video by Dr. Josh Axe titled “Top 10 Dangers of Essential Oils”, and I highly recommend giving it a watch—especially if you or someone you love is using essential oils from grocery stores or online marketplaces.
🧠 Around the 3-minute mark, Dr. Axe highlights Mistake #3: Ingesting Poor-Quality Oils. He explains how ingesting essential oils that are not rigorously tested for purity and potency can lead to hormonal imbalances, neurological issues, and even toxicity. This is especially concerning for people with existing health conditions.
💡 While Dr. Axe doesn’t mention specific brands like doTERRA by name (likely due to professional neutrality as a doctor), he clearly outlines the exact quality standards that doTERRA adheres to:
- Third-party testing (including GC/MS)
- Sourcing from trusted growers
- No synthetic fillers or contaminants
- Transparency in purity and sourcing
These are the very reasons I trust and use doTERRA oils. Yes, they may seem more expensive at first glance—but when it comes to your health, quality is non-negotiable. A cheaper oil that hasn’t been tested for internal use can do far more harm than good.
✨ If you’re ever unsure about how to use an oil safely—especially internally—please reach out. This is what this group is for, or message me privately if you prefer. I’m here to help you make informed, empowered choices for your wellness journey.
