DoTerra Essential Oils
If you’ve paid any attention to the wellness industry lately, then you already know that essential oils are all the rage right now.
Made from the stems, seeds, bark, roots, and flowers of plants, essential oils are natural aromatic compounds that people claim can cure just about any health condition or disease.
What Is DoTerra Essential Oils
DoTerra is one of the largest sellers of essential oils, even though the company has been open for a few years. DoTerra claims to be the leader in the essential oils market and claims their essential oils are superior.to other essential oil brands.
However, can they really back up their claims?
Is DoTerra Legitimate?
After looking into the quality of DoTerrs products, it does appear that DoTerra does sell pure essential oils. By pure, we mean that there are no additives or artificial ingredients. This is essential to the quality and effectiveness of the product and because of this, DoTerra products appear to be very high in quality.
You should know that DoTerra operates as an MLM so chances are you’ll be purchasing products through a distributor but it does not appear like you have to buy through a distributor to get products.
DoTerra Products Appear Safe
While it is not always recommended that adults consume essential oils orally, for the most part they are safe. If you’re going to take DoTerra products, you need to make sure you do so in a safe manner and make sure to follow directions on the label.
However, do to the superior quality of DoTerra essential oils, we believe that they are very safe for humans to use. We recommend letting your doctor know that you plan on using essential oils, although this is up to your direction.

LOL — Germanium is a metaloid carbon group chemical element… That typo needs to be corrected in the Blog Post!!
On the other hand, Geranium is amazing for so many topical uses! Helping the skin to retain moisture! Fantastic and I couldn’t agree more that it is one of God’s gifts to us!! :-D
Love love love germanium truly a miracle worker…
My friend gave me the Peppermint roll on oil,and Blue Rub. I use it on my shoulder and arm,and hand. After using it a week, I was avble to stop taking Aleve eveyday. It works pretty good!
It’s hard to trust this article on anything considering that about the third essential oil listed is “Germanium.” Now I didn’t ace chemistry, but I’m pretty sure “germanium” is an element on the periodic table and “geranium” is an herbal flower. go figure. I plan to–elsewhere.
I purchased the emotional aromatherapy kit from a lovely young lady selling doterra at a farmers market before Christmas… I received the diffuser and fractionated coconut oil in new year but no oils..had rung the head office in Australia and complained umpteen times only to be told by a very rude staff member that it was posted…that was over a week ago and I’m still waiting..although I love the product your customer service (in Aus) needs a bit of work…very disappointed
This place is a scam. I was charged for a product that i never ordered and when i called to try and resolve it, i was told that i had ordered it and that they would do nothing for me. I never received the product and yet i was charged $69.95 for it. I told them that my credit card had been compromised but that didn’t matter to them. I called twice on this matter with no resolve. All they wanted to do was send me more product. REALLY!!! Why would i want a product that i DID NOT order. And why would i pay $69.95 for an oil. That is way too much for an oil. Bad costumer service. Extremely pissed!!!!! TOTALLY GOT SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY.
Sounds like you were scammed by whoever took your CC number.
What did doTERRA have to do with it?
If your CC was compromised, call the CC company. They will immediately refund the money.
Your story sounds exactlY like mine however it was ‘terra’ oils not ‘doTerra’ I received the oils and questioned the merchant name on the posted transaction as it was not terra and a week after I canceled a membership (not related to essential oils!) I didn’t know I had a week later I had a $69.95 charge which I didn’t authorize so cc company considered it fraud and handled my card as compromised and reversed the charge.
Sounds like you didn’t get scammed by the company but that your card was stolen…it’s not the company’s job to look after your card. They get an order and they place it. It was nice of them to offer you a gift for the problems you were having. Plus…depending on the type of oil that might be a pretty good price. All of their oils are 100% theraputic grade and some are vary rare which makes them pricy.
WOW……thats all i can say about anyone selling for any of these MLM’s. It is so head in the sand…..its not about the company, its about the ools amd how they help. I RAN from doterra as fast as i could. When i had first started i became a wa with them but i started asking questions and has shunned. Sorry too snobbish from me. I changed to an essential oil company that doesnt rely on users to sell, they have extremely high quality oils and do not promote unsafe use.
It is just scary how some can become almost obessed with a product but never step outside of the box to do complete research
How do you know the oils you buy are pure?
Oh wow – lots of cat fights here / I was using DoTerra and a few YL and with all the drama I chose a step up to Ameo “clinical grade” Essential Oils – every bottle lot number enables you to look up its lab results and NO DRAMA :)
i have a friend that buys/sells doterra. she has had the hardest time getting her upline to communicate with her. she said she has added them on FB and none of them interact with her or invite her to any of the functions. She said most of her upline doesnt even speak to her and this isnt the first time I have heard of doterras wa’s doing this. I actually entertained the idea of selling for doterra and because of the cliques that are associated with it i decided not to. Instead i sell for Young Living and boy am I glad I made that choice, I am currently Diamond and the people are amazing!! Just be warned about the snobbish “better than you” wa’s at doterra
I guess your friend had a bad experience, not all up Lines are like that. I love doTerra and the story behind the company. There will always be bad up Lines in any business, unfortunately.
I am from germany and looked up doTerra and other companies on a buyer be ware companies website, doTerra was listed as one of a very few companies in the world who actually sell 100% pure and clean oils. This company checks every item on the market for the truth in what companies claim their product do, intale and of course the % of each ingredient. Thats why I chose doTerra.
As far as the feud between doTerra Nd Young living is conserned, do your own research, I did. I found a letter to the public from the President of doTerra and it was deep. Anywho, the truth is, people need good advocates to teach them about the oils and the health benefits, they don’t need to hear negativity.
I love my oils
I agree 100%,,,I live doterra products!!!
I would have to say I do love Doterra but have had the same issues with my up line. To the point that I now consider myself a one man show which is difficult because I am still learning.
My goodness! I’m so so sorry to hear of anyone having a poor experience with their uplines!! I try to treat my team as family. I hope you have successfully reached out and are enjoying a relationship with your upline, by now… :-/ Look in your backoffice and reach out to your Diamond leader, if not. We are here to help!! There are so many great tools, now, too — the Share Success Program, for example! Or Edge Success with Rod and Seth; or Starfish with Neal Anderson?
Good luck “Totally Stressed” — wishing you joy and prosperity!!
Hi Totally Stressed,
I’ve been with doTerra for about 6 months, I have an amazing spline that does a call with product give aways, they also do weekly video’s and a monthly team meeting. They teach you how to teach your classes and will meet with you one on one or call you. I’m still learning and probably always will be but I am happy to help you or share with you what I have learned so far.
Essential Oil Consumer Reports (completely independent of any oils company) recent published tests on YL cinnamon oil…shocking results.
I don’t know about them being sued. There is talk that YL is in huge financial trouble.
Let’s face it, none of us know what really goes on behind closed doors except for what is spoon fed to us.
Not everyone reacts to the oils the same. That is true, regardless of the company.
I would rather take my chances with DoTerra or YL than with the drug companies ANY day.
If you are a wellness advocate for either company, stop gripping or who’s who and try working together.
The FDA wants all of it run out of the marketplace and people who just bash eachother’s competition make these very important oils look like scams.
Work together or shut up and get out of the way. It’s about helping people not your petty arguments.
A good point and well said
Thank you!!! Well said! Too many people lose the reason to help people and focus on petty bull…. We need to stick together!
I agree! I love my choice of DOTERRA. I just talk about the things I love about our company. The most important part of what I am doing is Helping people.
Well, of course the skin will burn, you have to mix the oil with another oil. Example: coconut oil. This is common sense.
I take it you never emailed them asking why they stopped using 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils & just kept their trademark. They are not pure. They are being sued due to their Lavender EO leaving 3rd degree burns on skin. Also the CEO is a chiropractor who knows nothing of Essential Oils besides what he stole from the company who gave him a job when no one else would. I’m very disappointed in this sites lack of research, you call yourself supplement police, come on.
Thank you for your honesty!
Hi Linda, When your selling for Young Living it’s not nice to defame your competition just so people will buy from you. Have a nice day!!!
You have proof Linda sells Young Living how?
You must sell doTerra oils, Jane, and that doesn’t make you very objective.
