The Miraculous Science of Plants
The Science of Essential Oils
Essential oils are concentrated aromatic substances extracted from plants. Their fascinating chemistry reflects the remarkable complexity of the natural world.
At God's Provisions for Health, we explore the science behind these botanical compounds, their traditional uses, and what modern research tells us about them.
Drawing on more than 40 years of nursing experience, Vicki brings a lifelong curiosity about the human body, a love of learning, and a faith-centered appreciation for God's creation.
Our purpose is to encourage thoughtful investigation, informed decisions, and a deeper understanding of the miraculous science of plants.

Understanding Essential Oil Quality
Not all essential oils are produced or tested in the same way. Plant species, growing conditions, harvesting practices, extraction methods, and purity testing can all influence the quality and chemical composition of an essential oil.
doTERRA uses its proprietary Certified Pure Tested Grade (CPTG) process to evaluate the identity, chemical composition, and purity of its essential oils. CPTG is doTERRA's own testing designation rather than an independent industry-wide certification.
At God's Provisions for Health, we believe understanding how essential oils are produced and evaluated is an important part of making informed choices.
