Key Ingredients And Benefits
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
In today’s video, Dr. Axe talks to you about essential oils for weight loss. So many people want to burn fat and lose weight fast in a safe way. Essential oils alone can’t get you to lose 20 pounds, however, it helps support your body in losing weight. There are three main essential oils that can help your body in weight loss.
The number one essential oil is grapefruit oil. It helps to activate enzymes in your saliva that help your body break down body fat. The oil of grapefruit comes from the peel, which helps support metabolism and cleansing of your lymphatic gland.
The second essential oil to support weight loss is cinnamon oil. Cinnamon oil helps regulate blood glucose levels and GTF (glucose tolerance factor).
The third oil that helps the body with weight loss is ginger essential oil. Ginger reduces sugar cravings, reduces inflammation in the body, and improves digestion and absorption of nutrients. This process supports cellular energy, which in turn, helps with weight loss.
If you’re looking to lose weigh with the help of essential oils, he would recommend grapefruit, cinnamon, and ginger essential oils. You can diffuse it or apply it topically with coconut oil.

This video explains the optimal zone of nutrition in which our body gets the most out of the foods we eat, the problems vitamin deficiencies can cause, and the differences between vitamin varieties. We have formulated our Daily Nutrient Pack to give the body just the right amount of nutrients, no more and no less.
Co-impact sourcing will help ensure a long-term supply of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils while helping to strengthen economies in developing countries and improving the livelihoods of our growers around the world.
Maintaining the high standard of quality set by dōTERRA® for purity, potency, and consistency of our essential oils involves following a proven process that yields industry leading quality. The first step in the process starts with the plants themselves.
dōTERRA uses a global network of artisans to provide the raw materials—sourcing—used for essential oil production. Where a plant is grown has a major impact on its constitution, which in turn determines its potency. Using local artisans who have grown the source plants for generations ensures that the plants are not only properly cared for, but also grown in an environment that maximizes the essential oils’ potential.
Additionally, harvesting the right part of the plant at the right time is a major determiner in the quality of an essential oil. Growers have discovered over generations proper harvesting secrets that increase yield and quality of the essential oil.
Using local artisans to source the raw materials for essential oils has the added benefit of creating industry for that particular community. In many cases, the harvesting of essential oil source plants has created jobs and opportunity where previously there was none. In this way, dōTERRA is helping health-conscious individuals find safe alternatives while also lifting entire communities and giving them hope for the future.
Every batch of dōTERRA® essential oils is subjected to strict requirements set forth in the CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® quality protocol. This protocol ensures potency, purity, and consistency batch to batch.
The CPTG testing begins immediately after distillation with each oil being reviewed for its chemical composition. A second round of testing is carried out at our production facility to ensure that what was distilled and tested is the same essential oil as was received. A third review of the chemistry of the oil is conducted in a three-phase procedure as the oils are packaged into the bottles we use as consumers. Each of these tests confirms that the essential oil is free of contaminants and unexpected alterations during production.
The CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade quality protocol includes the following tests:
While there is a science to the distillation of essential oils, it is also an art. Distillers not only rely on years of experience, they also employ modern technologies and techniques.
The most common method of extracting essential oils is a low-heat steam distillation process. In this process, pressurized steam is circulated through plant material. The essential oils are liberated from the plant and carried away by the steam. When the steam cools, the water and oils naturally separate and the oil is collected. To ensure the highest quality oil extract with the correct chemical composition, the temperature and pressure must be closely monitored. Too little heat or pressure and the oil will not release; too much, and the oil’s composition and potency will be affected.
Compression, in which plant parts are pressed to squeeze out the essential oil, is another common method of distillation. Many citrus oils are expressed in this manner.
I am sure that most people would agree that stress can impact our health in a negative manner. So part of functioning at an optimum health level will include reducing stress.
Reduce Stress ~ Stress is toxic
Therefore, breaking cycles that increase or add to stress in our lives is key. Part of that includes our thought lives. There is much scientific data that supports these statements. I would suggest that each person try to renew ourselves in this area. You can renew your mind. There is a process that each individual goes through before he or she chooses to act. First we observe through our senses. We either see, hear, taste, touch, or smell something. Then a cycle occurs all interacting together. We give ourselves instructions. We have thoughts about ourselves. And we have body responses associated with these thoughts and instructions. Sometimes a body response triggers a thought but sometimes it’s the other way around… See the chart below:
The first step in renewing one’s mind includes noticing and taking hold of our thoughts(self-thought) and instructions(self-talk) that we are giving to ourselves. Capture your thoughts. Then, agree with what is productive and true and disagree with what is harmful, unproductive and/or lies that you may have picked up in toxic encounters in your travels. It may be that you may notice a physical response (body response) first that is connected to your self-thought or self-talk. All three are happening at the same time, but some people are more aware of their physiology and for others it may be their thought life. (Zoom in to make the bigger.)
Sometimes I have clients who will tell me that they don’t have this cycle or part of it happening in them, but I will tell you that I can guarantee that it is there. During difficult times or even just by watching others in our environments, people sometimes train themselves to ignore or numb thoughts and feelings in maladaptive ways. Ignoring their existence only allows the patterns that we don’t like or want to continue impacting our minds and bodies. Many times, in our core, there are driving beliefs about ourselves that are extremely unproductive and sometimes flat out lies. Yet, when left unchecked, we are actually choosing to allow them to have power in our lives.
I would encourage you to examine your thoughts and improve your overall health by kicking out what really doesn’t belong in your head. Really try to focus on thoughts that are “true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy, think on these things.” Pay attention to negative thoughts and instructions you may be giving yourself and change them. For example: I’m not important enough, or I don’t deserve to rest yet, or Don’t ask for help or I always do this wrong… can be changed to a more truthful thought … I am important, I am allowed to rest too, Speak up for what is best for others AND myself, I am going to get this down…
Dr. Caroline Leaf, a cognitive neuroscientist with a PhD in Communication Pathology specializing in Neuropsychology explains thoughts and physical connection very well.
