The quality and purity of essential oils are crucial to how well they work. doTERRA guarantees that their essential oils are 100% pure and natural, with no synthetic additives, fillers, or harmful chemicals. They're never diluted or cut with inferior oils.
It's important to note that the purity and authenticity of essential oils can vary from one manufacturer to another.

Is Cassia and Cinnamon the same?
doTERRA Cassia is extracted through steam distillation from the inner bark and twigs of the fragrant, evergreen Chinese cinnamon tree. Although botanically different from what's called "true cinnamon," cassia is often confused with it.
Since true cinnamon is more expensive, ground cassia is the most popular type of cinnamon in many parts of the world. In traditional Chinese medicine, it's used to support the digestive and circulatory systems.
The Synergy Between Essential Oils and Energy Work
Essential oils are not only known for their pleasant scents but also for their ability to work on subtle energy levels. They possess a high energetic frequency that's capable of influencing the body's energetic system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and bring vibrations into alignment, which is crucially important in many energetic practices.
In work with energy centers, like 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 like meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising the energy level 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 contribute to promoting mental clarity and stabilizing emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They make it easier to reach focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the body's subtle levels.
How Do You Use Essential Oils in Energy Work? To use essential oils in energetic work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation, where you put a few drops of the oil in a diffuser or simply inhale directly from the bottle. This helps align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balance.
You can also apply 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 amplify the energetic effect. Especially in chakra work or Reiki sessions, this supports the flow of energy by bringing the oil's vibrations into harmony with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen energetic work. And don't forget: Your intention plays an essential role in energetic work with essential oils.
