Top News Story! dōTERRA was featured on Fox 17 news about how our essential oils are being used at Vanderbilt Hospital’s emergency room to contribute to a positive work environment for the staff.
“My daughter runs hurdles for her high school track team. She was at a practice over spring break when her coach pushed her to 3-step the hurdles. She hit hurdle number five with her trailing foot which sent her flying. She was moving so fast that she was unable to catch herself. Her face hit the ground first and the impact was to her right eye. She managed to get up with some help from the coaches but when she came home she had marked swelling and a significant abrasion.
The Day of the Accident
I had just received the Immortelle blend the previous week. I knew there were valuable oils contained in the blend such as, frankincense, sandalwood, lavender, myrrh, helichrysum, and rose. Armed with this arsenal of oils, perfect for wound care and skin rejuvenation, I went to work. I applied the Immortelle blend to her face and then covered it with ice. My daughter was unhappy because the eye and wound were so sensitive. I gave her the “tough love” lecture.
Three Days After the Accident
I was consistently ensuring that the blend was applied a minimum of twice a day. We were careful when placing it above and below the eye and on the abrasion. The whole process was amazing. My daughters scab began falling off after only the 5th day. There was healthy skin underneath and the black eye and swelling were dramatically diminished.
Seven Days After the Accident
From the first day of her track accident until the wound was fully healed was only eleven days! I feel Immortelle increased the healing process. It gave my daughter’s skin the tools to lay down healthy skin cells without creating a scar. Immortelle is a wonderful addition to my skin care regimen but it is also part of my family’s first aid and wound care protocol.
Eleven Days After the Accident
Thank you for creating this blend. Immortelle saved my teenage daughters face!”

Used for centuries in perfumes and fragrances, Patchouli is one of the more aromatic essential oils. Patchouli oil has an easily recognizable rich musky-sweet fragrance and is used widely in the perfume industry.
Patchouli is a species from the genus Pogostemon a bushy herb of the mint family, with erect stems, reaching two or three feet in height and bearing small pale-pink or white flowers. The plant is native to the tropical regions of Asia but is now extensively cultivated in China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Philippines, West Africa and Vietnam.
During the 18th and 19th century silk traders from China traveling to the Middle East packed their silk cloth with dried patchouli leaves to prevent moths from laying their eggs on the cloth. Many historians speculate that this association with opulent eastern goods is why patchouli was considered by Europeans of that era to be a luxurious scent. It is said that patchouli was used in the linen chests of Queen Victoria in this way. Studies today suggest that patchouli essential oil may serve as an all-purpose insect repellent.
Patchouli essential oil is known to have a grounding, balancing effect on the emotions while providing excellent mood support. Patchouli is also widely used for wounds and tissue repair, as well as in skin care preparations for these same properties.
