I don't know if she is going to allow this to be posted or not but I did send this reply to her...
Before getting into my thoughts I would love to know who/what your source was behind this quote, "The most coveted, and most expensive (and thought to be the most therapeutic) oil is that which is collected during the first part of the distillation period. The resulting oil is called "first distilled.""
Your other sources, in my opinion, are not reliable as they are soap and toiletry companies and do not specialize in essential oils.
I've had a lot of contact with doTERRA reps and interaction with the company and have never heard one of them say that "You'll know it works by its smell." They may say that you can smell a difference from doTERRA and other EO companies but not that it "works" based on the smell. It works based on the results.
For example, you know it works when a young Mom applies doTERRA's oils on her daughter who is seconds away from being rushed to the emergency room because she can't breath due to a severe case of Croup…and the oils not only help her breathe, but calm her daughter, and save the parents a load of money. They work when a baby smacks his eyelid on a sharp object and you stop the bleeding, swelling, and bruising with doTERRA's Lavender & Helichrysum. Or as you stated yourself you know they work when the peppermint and lemongrass work to heal a groin injury that YL's oils weren't able to heal.
The things you point out about why doTERRA isn't the best seems trivial. You yourself said that the peppermint worked and then the next thing you say is that you question the therapeutic effect. That doesn't quite fit together for me.
On the bottle of peppermint it states that it is extracted from the leaf and flower tops. Most companies extract from the full plant. That is why doTERRA's peppermint smells different. Which some people would claim that no company would go to those lenghts to only use the flowers and leaves. To that I would say "Just because you won't doesn't mean doTERRA doesn't."
There is a reason that they have grown to be the largest essential oil company in the world in the four and half years that they have been in business – because you get results. They are also the only company that has been approved by the Taiwanese government as an essential oil that can be taken internally. Pretty sure that says more than what a toiletry company claims.
To address your concern about TerraShield, from my information they are trying to get this blend patented…which would make sense as to why they aren't releasing all the ingredients. It does state on the label that the ingredients are pure fractionated coconut oil, and a proprietary blend of 15 therapeutic-grade essential oils. It states that it does not contain artificial ingredients, fragrances, or chemicals such as DEET. It carries the CPTG label which means it has gone through the same rigorous process of all of their other oils.
It isn't that doTERRA isn't the best company. At one point in your reviews you stated that, "At some point, I needed to be OK with a super good, reasonably priced company and call it a day." It sounds like you have found the balance you were looking for. In that light…doTERRA isn't the best company for you. That doesn't mean that they aren't the best though.
While I understand and respect people's choices to choose what they feel is best for their families, I also feel like more concrete proof behind your words is needed.
