Purpose-oriented dual procurement
Different climates and soils influence the chemical profile of the peppermint plant. By sourcing peppermint from India and the USA, we offer a unique chemistry and diverse profile. This strategy also protects against crop failures. doTERRA peppermint oil from the USA comes from family farms, while Indian peppermint oil comes from smallholder farmers in rural areas.
In the US, peppermint is grown in Oregon, where the climate with regular rainfall promotes growth and yields a high menthol content. Peppermint is also successfully cultivated in India, specifically in Uttar Pradesh. This harvest provides many farmers with an important source of income and creates jobs in agriculture and processing. Peppermint cultivation in India utilizes one of the three main growing seasons used in the US for perennial crops. This dual sourcing allows us to support smallholder farmers and contribute to the local economy.

100% Pure Natural Oils
The quality and purity of essential oils are crucial for their effectiveness. doTERRA guarantees that its essential oils are 100% pure and contain no synthetic additives, fillers, or harmful chemicals. They are neither diluted nor blended with inferior oils.

Therefore, when selecting essential oils, it is advisable to choose trusted brands that test their products for quality, purity, and efficacy and provide transparent information about their sourcing practices.
Peppermint harvesting and production process
Peppermint is planted each year using roots kept in a special seedbed, either on the farmer's own land or purchased from a grower. Peppermint is propagated by cuttings, not seeds, to maintain the plant's quality and consistency. It is planted in rows with sufficient spacing to allow ample room for growth. Farmers prepare the soil by plowing and adding organic matter to improve fertility. Appropriate irrigation systems are installed to ensure consistent moisture. Irrigation is crucial for healthy plant growth and maximizing oil yield.
The essential oil comes from the above-ground parts of the peppermint plant. In India, peppermint is harvested by hand. The harvest season begins in June and lasts until July. Peppermint is usually harvested twice a season, but sometimes only once due to the monsoon season. When the peppermint is ready for harvest, it is cut to the ground and then left in the field to dry for up to 24 hours.
After harvesting, smallholder farmers in India bring their crop to nearby community distilleries to have the harvested material distilled. The harvested peppermint is cleaned and cut into small pieces to facilitate the extraction process. The crushed material is placed in the distillation apparatus, through which steam is passed. The steam extracts the essential oil from the plant, the vapor mixture is condensed into liquid form, and the oil and water are separated into different collectors. Peppermint is typically distilled within 48 hours of harvesting, and it takes 4-6 hours to distill a batch of oil. It takes approximately three pounds of peppermint leaves to produce a 15 ml bottle.
The consumed biomass – plant material that has already been distilled – is used to power the distillation boilers, thus creating a more sustainable process.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
