Re: [Everything doTERRA] allergies and scent sensitivities

Regarding his 'competitive advantage' statement, I'm thinking this.....
My thoughts....improved focus, moods and health for students and staff will result in student achievement and public perception. Further, it would be something that no one else is doing. All of this would logically improve admissions as well. It is another value add.

Thoughts anyone?? Thanks for your help.

Thank you Pat! Absolutely! I will add your revisions to my next reply to him

Here is part of his response back after I sent the doTERRA blog posts about oils in the classroom "Thanks, Chad. It's tricky business, as campus policies would need to be changed – which could cause us to consult our legal counsel. The easy answer is going to be "no" if I try to push this up or downstream right now. I will need to tread carefully and figure out if this offers some sort of competitive advantage over other schools/health clubs.  If we can prove it provides a competitive advantage, we have a better history of consideration and adoption.

I would say, "thanks for your response, let me assure you that this is neither potpourri or Candle based. These are essential oils from plants, they are steam distilled and have amazing therapeutic properties. These oils are in well over 400 hospitals and this is growing exponentially. The medical profession is looking at the oils as a new basis for wellness and I think you should at least do your own research and offer this to the precious children that you help". 

I know this is basically what you have written back to him and I concur with that. I just feel you should not stop offering this to him. 

Thanks, and remember "We are out to change the World"

ok, so I reached out (via email and included the Vanderbilt Hospital video) to a friend who is an exec at a Christian School and part of his response was..."Thanks for the info, Chad! We deal with kids who have significant allergies and sensitivities to scents, so we aren't permitted to have candles or potpourri.  I am guessing that this would be considered in the same category?  I'm actually surprised that a healthcare environment can allow those to be used. I used to work in the healthcare products industry and they have insane rules on anything airborne.  "

Anyone dealt with this concern? I'm thinking that the oils would only help, but is there something to the scent sensitivity thing? Any links to testimonies or references that speak to the use of aromatic compounds in a school, etc.?

Part of my response was..."Well, the essential oils are certainly not in the category of potpourri or candles. Actually, the essential oils of doTERRA are the purest and most potent in the world and they developed a standard called CPTG - Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade to ensure that standard of quality. These essential oils would actually helped the students with allergies and should not effect those with sensitivities to scents due to the purity of the scent. Most reactions are due to the poor quality/low grade and/or the synthetic nature of the scents/oils. This is an interesting discussion that I will research further on.

At minimum, an oil blend like doTERRA's "On Guard" could be diffused in order to kill airborne pathogens and make your environment healthier for students and staff."
