Modern Approach

Many modern medical approaches focus on managing symptoms rather than treating root causes. While conventional treatments - especially for chronic conditions - can offer relief, they often rely on synthetic, isolated agents that may carry both known and unknown side effects.

Globally, healthcare spending has soared. In 2021, the total surpassed US $9.8 trillion, accounting for 10.3% of global GDP . That equates to approximately £7.9 trillion or €9.2 trillion (using approximate mid-2025 exchange rates).

Despite this massive investment, health outcomes in many areas—such as chronic disease prevalence and quality of life - have not proportionally improved. That leaves us asking: are we truly healthier?

Natural Approach

We deeply value the role of modern healthcare—and we also believe there's more you can do to help your body thrive. Nature offers powerful tools that work with your body to address its needs at the root, not just the symptoms.

Essential oils, extracted from plants, are a safe and effective way to support both physical and emotional well-being. They're also more affordable than you might think. Each 15 mL bottle contains about 150 drops, and because you only need a small amount at a time, the cost per use is surprisingly low.

When you see how much value is packed into each drop - and how much it can do for your health - you may just find yourself wondering why you didn't start sooner.

Let's learn more about essential oils

doTERRA CPTG essential oils are power tools in your emotional and physical health journey.

Pure Essential Oils are powerful

Essential oils are made from natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted and distilled from plants for their powerful health benefits. Just one drop of doTERRA CPTG Peppermint oil delivers the equivalent of 28 cups of peppermint tea.

These aromatic compounds act as the plant's own immune system - and because they're natural, our bodies can recognize and use them effectively, offering benefits without the unwanted side effects of many synthetic alternatives.

Pure oils are safe and effective.

Essential oils contain hundreds of natural compounds, each with unique abilities to protect, restore, and support the body. They work in harmony with your system - addressing concerns at the root and even on a cellular level.

With doTERRA, purity is never in question. Plants are carefully harvested in their native environments, and the oils undergo more testing than any other brand in the industry. Every batch is verified to be free from synthetic fillers and adulterants, with rigorous third-party testing to ensure authenticity, potency, and the highest standard of quality.

Aromatic Usage

There are three main ways to use essential oils, and the first is aromatically. This method is perfect for freshening the air - both around you and within your body - and for creating a desired mood or atmosphere.

Through a process called olfaction, the aromatic molecules travel directly to the limbic system of your brain in about 30 seconds, influencing emotions, memory, and mood almost instantly. You may have already felt these quick effects if you've ever inhaled the uplifting scent of Wild Orange.

Topical Usage

Applying essential oils topically is one of the quickest and simplest ways to enjoy their benefits. When used properly, they can nourish and protect the skin, soothe the body, enhance massage, and support countless everyday needs.

Topical use is unique because it allows you to target specific areas for focused relief, while still offering overall support for the whole body. Once you experience how easy and effective it is, you'll find topical application can instantly elevate your essential oil routine.

Internal Usage

When done properly, internal usage offers unique benefits that aromatic and topical use alone can’t provide. Because they come from plants, fruits, and other natural sources, certain essential oils can safely support healthy cell function, digestion, immune health, and even gentle internal cleansing. Each oil's unique chemistry delivers specific wellness benefits, making internal use a valuable part of a complete essential oil routine.
