Most of the oils that are produced today are used by the perfume industry. They are purchased for their aromatic qualities only. The oils are produced in completely the wrong way for any health benefits to remain. High pressure and temperature along with chemical solvents are often used during the distillation process to extract a greater quantity of oil at a faster pace. These oils can smell very good and cost much less, but they will lack the most important if not all of the chemical constituents necessary to produce a Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oil.

Plants can produce several types of chemotypes (simple species or biochemical specifics) depending on the method and conditions of growth, region, and climate. Thyme for instance can have high levels of thymol depending on the time of year in which it is distilled. If distilled during mid-summer or late fall, there can be higher levels off carvacrol, causing the oil to be more caustic or irritating to the skin. Low temperature and low pressure distillation is also an important factor to maintaining the purity and fragrance of a therapeutic value of oil.

As we use and begin to understand the benefits and power of essential oils in our personal healthcare, we begin to comprehend the absolute necessity for procuring certified pure therapeutic grade  (CPTG) essential oils. There can be no substitute for the purest essential oils we can find. Scientist and chemists have been able to reproduce in labs some of the constituents in essential oils but have yet to recreate an essential oil completely.

All information on this website is  based on the use of certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) essential oils. Those of you who are new in the discovery of essential oils, or even those who are versed in the use and terminology of essential oils and aromatherapy must actively seek out the highest therapeutic grade and purest quality essential oils available. Anything less then certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) essential oils may not produce the desired effects and results and in some cases can be extremely toxic.

doTERRA goes above and beyond in their commitment to quality and efficacy of essential oils. In this 4 minute video, important points are covered related to essential oil industry standard and how doTERRA exceeds those standards when it come to essential oil purity and quality. Watch the video to learn more.

***Video Transcription***

doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils represent the safest purest and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy.

And Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils means something very different. It means we’ve protected the chemical compounding of that plant just as it was produced from the earth. We don’t need to improve on those compounds. And if we have the care, if we have the scientific knowledge, if we have the commitment and the integrity to preserve that.

Therapeutic Grade essential oils are most often extracted via a low heat steam distiallation process in which steam is circulated under pressure through plant material liberating the essential oils into the steam. As the steam mixture cools, the water and oils naturally separate and the oil is collected in its pure form. To ensure the highest quality oil extract of correct chemical composition, temperature and pressure must be monitored very closely. To little heat and pressure will not release valuable oil. While too much can change an extracts composition and potency. As important as the carefully controlled extraction process is, it is also vital to ensure the perfection of the resulting essential oil.

There are a growing number of products claiming to be or to contain essential oils. They range in price and quality and are found in skin care, cosmetics, aromatherapy and other products. However, many of these products do not use 100% pure essential oils and often use fragrance synthetic chemical substitutes to dilute or replace more expensive essential oil extracts.

Synthetic oils cause side effects. Naturally occurring ones don’t, it really comes down to a trust issue. You really have to trust the sourcing of the essential oils. You have to be able to trust, you want to be able to trust where the oil has come from, that it’s been maintained in the proper, cause you’re not going to know. You’re not going to have any idea when you pull an essential oil off of the shelf whether or not it’s pure. There’s no way for you to tell. It’s why we make the commitments we do for testing and for chemical analysis, not once, every single time. It’s the only way to ensure that quality exists and when you do then you have something that’s magical, then you have something that creates change.

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are 100% pure natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants. They do not contain fillers or artificial ingredients that would dilute their active qualities. Compare the smell of doTERRA’s 100% lavender essential oil to another lavender oil or product in your home. If your products fragrance is overbearing in any one note, it may contain synthetic chemical substitutes. A 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oil should have a balanced broad fragrance profile and should smell crystal clean.

A 2 minute video on doTERRA’s essential oil purity and efficacy.

***Transcript***

doTERRA’s line of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils represent the premium standard for essential oils today. Long valued for their uses. Essential oils have played a significant role throughout history in health and wellness.

When I think about CPTG, when I think about quality of essential oils. I think this is the question I get more than any other. What makes doTERRA oils different? What makes it unlike any other essential oil that you can have access to? And it’s our commitment to that quality standard. In my mind, it is a division of two different things. One is, we have to have safety. There needs to be purity associated with the essential oil. We don’t want to improve on what nature has already created for us. And so we maintain the purity, we maintain the delicate nature of all the compounds, however large or however small they are in their presence. They must be preserved. We don’t want to change them; we don’t want to alter them, because when we do, we alter the effects that they have within the body.

And efficacy is the second component associated with that. They must perform their designed function within the body.

Today, science is confirming the relevant and important roles of essential oils. Each of doTERRA’s essential oils contains unique, potent properties. Whether it is the sweet, warm citrusy fragrance of ginger, or the age old wisdom of frankincense. DoTERRA provides only the finest oils as well as other quality products, for those you demand perfection.

DoTERRA’s essential oils are 100% pure and natural and are free from synthetic compounds or contaminants. doTERRA for your home. doTERRA for your health.

Product Description

Concept
A body that is trim and fit is not only attractive, but also supports a lifetime of energy and vitality, and can help prevent the accelerated onset of many degenerative diseases. Managing weight and healthy body composition is primarily a matter of expending more calories than we consume. Eating less food (quantity) and improving our food selections (quality) along with increasing physical activity is the best way to experience permanent and healthy weight loss.

Eating Less
Food can be both physically and emotionally pleasurable. When we are hungry, our bodies send powerful signals through various physiological pathways to let us know it is time to eat. When we respond by eating, equally powerful signals reward us for responding to our bodies’ desires. These signals are influenced over time by how much we eat, what we eat, and why we eat.
Most people in the developed world consume more calories than required for supporting healthy and vibrant life function. Reducing the amount of calories we consume when dieting can be difficult if our bodies are conditioned to high-calorie diets. Eating more healthy foods in smaller amounts throughout the day, using a dietary supplement of essential nutrients, and participating in a regular exercise program can help change unhealthy signals to eat more than we need or to eat for the wrong reasons.

Healthy Hydration
Many unhealthy “diet” potions use diuretics that cause the body to release water resulting in short-term weight loss, but also resulting in dehydration and other negative health consequences. Drinking water regularly throughout the day can help support efforts to eat less calories. Proper hydration is also essential for metabolic functions throughout the body and supports cellular energy and activity.

Slim & Sassy™ Metabolic Blend
doTERRA’s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of 100% pure CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals. Slim & Sassy includes a blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon essential oils. Just add 8 drops to 16 oz. of water (regular size bottle of water, use glass or stainless steel container) and drink between your healthy meals throughout the day to help manage hunger, calm your stomach, and lift your mood. The Slim & Sassy blend also makes a delicious and healthy flavored water for proper hydration during exercise and other activity. It has zero calories and is an excellent replacement for high-calorie beverages or for drinks that contain artificial sweeteners and colors.

Cautions

What does it mean to be classified as Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade?

For an essential oil company to be classified as therapeutic grade, there is only 1 test to pass- the Gas Chromatograph (Gas) test.

What does the Gas Chromatograph test look for?

Each essential oil has hundreds of compounds. During the gas test ,specific compounds are checked for.  As long as the specific compounds are present, the oil passes and can be classified as therapeutic grade. An important factor to note here is that there is no requirement for purity in this test. This test does not check for foreign impurities such as pesticides and weeds, nor does it check for all of the compounds to be present. If the specific compounds that the test was searching for are all created synthetically, the oil will still pass. Here’s the kicker- if an oil passes and is allowed to be classified as therapeutic grade, it can also be labeled as 100% pure, even if it’s contents are entirely synthetic or harmful.

We have to do better than that right? Then let’s talk about a second test that most high end essential oil companies perform.

The Mass Spectrometry(MS) Test

The MS test looks for key things that the gas chromatograph test did not look for. 1) It checks for foreign impurities of any kind. 2) Tests for exact amounts of compounds, all of them must be present in order to pass. If there is 1 out of hundreds of compounds missing it does not pass. 3) All compounds must be pure.

What are the problems with this test? There is no regulation on how often this test should be performed. Most companies don’t perform the MS test often, some go years between testing. Some companies perform this test in house, a cause for concern since this leaves room for a conflict of interest. Prices for oils are higher than those from companies who only perform the GAS test, and yet you may be getting the same quality of oil.

What is Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG)?

CPTG means that both the gas chromatograph and mass spectrometry test were performed, but beyond that it also guarantees that the MS test was performed for every oil! This standard means that you know your oil is 100% pure! The therapeutic properties will perform at their best and you can use these oils for therapy without worrying about harmful side effects. Because they are so pure and potent, very little is used for an application. Most applications require no more than 1-3 drops per use.

doTERRA’s CPTG essential oils can be used in conjunction with any current medication you are taking, and will not interfere with any health regime you might be following. In fact, CPTG oils by doTERRA will do a better job than the medication can and can only enhance a healthy lifestyle. A bold statement? Yes, medications help combat health issues, but at what cost. There is always a list of pretty nasty side effects that come with the use of any synthetic medication.  Whether they be symptoms that show after a few uses or symptoms that will take years to surface, negative action inside the body has a negative impact on the body.
