As part of our vision to bring a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world, do-TERRA is invested in moving the science of essential oils forward. This is accomplished in many different ways and is managed by a strong Research and Development team within do-TERRA. This department consists of PhD scientists and experienced professionals that gather scientific and clinical research, identify research needs, design and carry out studies, and prepare those studies for presentation to others. To carry out these ongoing studies, do-TERRA has and continues to build relationships with research hospitals, universities, and other research organizations. The end goal is to better understand how essential oils work—how the components in an essential oil interact, how essential oils interact with cells, how they affect people, and how they can improve our home and other environments. These studies are typically presented at our annual Convention, then made available through other avenues. They help inform, enrich, and benefit do-TERRA Wellness Advocates™ and their customers on the best uses of essential oils for the greatest good.
