Cypress essential oil is derived from tall evergreen trees native to southern Europe and western Asia. The aroma of Cyprus oil is energizing, clean, and refreshing, making it popular in spas and among massage therapists. The grounding scent is also ideal for times of transition or loss.
Cypress essential oil is rich in monoterpenes, making it beneficial for oily skin and overall skin health. α-Pinene, one of the main chemical compounds and monoterpenes in Cypress oil, helps reduce the appearance of blemishes.
The peppermint plant is a hybrid of water mint and spearmint that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. A high menthol content—like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint essential oil—distinguishes the best quality Peppermint oil from other products. The sharp, sweet scent of Peppermint essential oil can create an exhilarating environment during physical activity.
Because of its high menthol content, Peppermint oil may be soothing when used in a massage.
Also known as “wintersweet” or “joy of the mountains,” Marjoram essential oil is valued for its calming properties and positive benefits when used as part of a soothing massage.
The Greeks and Romans saw marjoram as a symbol of happiness. Marjoram oil is used in culinary dishes, imparting an incredible flavor to soups, stews, dressings, and sauces. In Germany, the herb is called the “goose herb” because it’s traditionally used when roasting geese.
A staple in Thai and Italian cuisine and a delicious addition to tomato soup, basil is a popular plant in many herb gardens.
The high linalool content of Basil essential oil contributes to its relaxing aroma, and its camphor content gives it exceptional cleansing properties, making it an effective surface cleanser. The skin-cooling properties of Basil oil also make it ideal for uplifting aromatic massages.
Basil grows wild in tropical and subtropical regions, with over 150 varieties flourishing worldwide. doTERRA Basil essential oil is distilled from the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum), which is cultivated by small-scale farmers in the fertile soils along the Nile River.
Once called a forbidden fruit and one of the seven wonders of Barbados, grapefruit was first documented in 1750 by Welsh Reverend Griffith Hughes. The name grapefruit comes from the grape-like cluster in which the fruit grows. Grapefruit essential oil can create an uplifting environment—ideal for motivating yourself throughout the day. The main chemical constituent of Grapefruit essential oil is limonene.
Lavender is widely considered a must-have essential oil because of its versatility. It’s been used and cherished for centuries because of its unmistakable aroma and myriad of benefits. Ancient Egyptians and Romans used lavender for bathing and cooking and in perfumes.
Lavender essential oil is distilled from the freshly harvested flowering tops of the true lavender plant (also known as English lavender) from lavender farms in Bulgaria, France, and other areas of the world.
The gentle, relaxing aroma of Lavender oil is best known for promoting a peaceful environment.
