According to our friend Google The Twelve Days of Christmas is a song that was published in England way back in 1780. There are twelve verses which accumulate gifts that were given by a lover on each of the twelve days of Christmas. There have been many versions of the song of the years, here is my personal favorite by Pentatonix:
Now then, we know The Twelve Days of Christmas is from a l o n g time ago. You know what else is from a long time ago? Yep, essential oils! They actually date back to Babylonian times. So I wanted to take you on a 12 Days of Christmas - doTERRA Style!
On the first day of Christmas doTERRA gave to me: one amazing, heartfelt company
doTERRA was founded in 2008 with a mission to share the highest quality essential oils in the world. Through their commitment not only have they succeeded in creating a new standard of quality: CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade™, but they've also been able to provide sustainable jobs not just in the United States, but across the globe and more importantly in third world countries where they partner with the local farmers, harvesters, and distillers. And even more heartfelt is their passion to help those communities, where they meet their needs; wells, schools, and medical facilities to name a few.
On the second day of Christmas doTERRA gave to me: the perfect synergistic essential oil pairing
Frankincense and Myrrh (which anyone can get free this month, btw) individually are rockstar oils that are renowned. When you pair these two together you create an explosion of synergy that basically means they have more therapeutic advantages because of their multitude of characteristics.
On the third day of Christmas doTERRA gave to me: the beginner's trio
As a simple first step on your journey with essential oils, we recommend a trio of three of the most popular oils: Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint. They are special, unique, and versatile on there own, but the three together make the perfect seasonal threat blend.
