A Closer Look at Groundbreaking doTERRA Research

Did you know daily use of essential oils may have long-term effects, even fundamentally changing who you are? Using the BioSeek® and BioMap® platforms, doTERRA scientists used molecular biology to observe how doTERRA essential oils may influence protein expression—the molecules responsible for almost all cellular action.

While this experimental and preclinical research is still in its beginning phases, some evidence suggests essential oil use may offer positive epigenetic effects.
