Dr. David K. Hill, D.C. shared these recommendations at the 2015 dōTERRA Convention. To create these recommendations he balanced effective ranges of essential oils with known safety data. It is important that essential oil users stay within the Ideal Amount ranges to derive the maximum benefit from using the essential oils. In fact, overwhelming the body with too much essential oil can sometimes lead to unwanted outcomes. This is because cells in the body utilize complex chemical reactions to metabolize the oils. It is never appropriate to exceed the metabolic capacity of the cells. Learn more about metabolism in this article: Essential Oil Metabolism.

My name is April and I am a mom to beautiful boy/girl twins. They are a handful but I couldn’t imagine my life any other way. I have an M.A in psychology with an emphasis on Statistics and Research. My path was set towards getting my Ph.D in Neuroscience but getting pregnant with the twins changed that direction. I love to read and learn new things. I have strong interest in science and finding out the “How” and “Why.” I find myself always questioning everything. You could almost call me a skeptic. If I find something that might be too good to be true, then I will find any research I can to find out if it really is true. If I am unfamiliar with something I will usually look it up (I love google) and find out more. Since my degree was so heavy in research I know how to search for information using various journal databases and dissect the information.
