Don’t you just love learning about new essential oils? Well, Green Mandarin essential oil is known for supporting healthy digestive and immune systems when used internally.* Also a cool thing to know is that Green Mandarin essential oil is pressed from the unripened fruit of the mandarin tree, while Red Mandarin essential oil comes from a more mature fruit. This oil has some pretty amazing properties which include being anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antitumor, antiviral, expectorant, laxative, and sedative.
Primary Benefits of Green Mandarin oil
Supports healthy nervous, digestive, and respiratory systems when consumed*
Known for its soothing and uplifting aroma
Internal use helps maintain healthy immune function*
This has been such an amazing oil for us as of late because we have just recently lost some pretty special people in our lives. The aromatic scent of Green Mandarin oil is bright, fresh and has been effective for soothing strong emotions such as anger, grief, and shock. It can also be sedating and calming to the nervous system while promoting courage and quiet strength.
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in four fluid ounces of liquid or take in a capsule. You can also use a flavoring in cooking or salad dressings.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with carrier oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.
This oil is Kosher certified.
Internal Use
Green Mandarin oil is regarded as safe (GRAS) for human consumption by the FDA so you can dilute 1 drop of oil in 1 tsp. of honey or in a 1/2 cup of yogurt, although this oil is not recommended for children under 6 years old. And when using Green Mandarin oil topically use with caution and in greater dilution for children and the elderly or health compromised. All essential oils that are dated or oxidized oil may irritate highly sensitive skin, so be sure to note the expiration date on the bottom of every bottle you get directly from doTERRA. Because this is a a citrus oil for topical application I always recommend dilution for proper absorption and safety.

I recently heard from a trusted expert in the field of nutrition that it isn’t so much “you are what you eat” as, “we are what we absorb”…
Think about that for a moment…
That is true on so many planes right now from the energy, and environment and friends we are exposed to, to of course what we consume. Now you are here for nutrition, so this is where we are going to focus in this article… and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you a new product line just launched by doTERRA for foundational nutritional support!

doTERRA Fiber
Fad diets are a popular trend and most focus on consuming high amounts of protein and low amounts of carbohydrates. This unbalance can wreak havoc on our fiber intake!
According to the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, even with a healthy diet, most people only get half the amount of fiber they need. The FDA recommends 25–38 grams of dietary fiber every day depending on age, weight, and gender.*
That’s a lot of raw vegetables and bowls of oatmeal! dōTERRA Fiber was created as a convenient and delicious way to supplement your fiber intake.

dōTERRA Fiber is sourced from whole food sources like apple, tapioca, and flax seed to support a healthy and regular digestive system, control appetite, and support the metabolic process.*
Fiber is a fantastic macronutrient that supports many different health functions within the body, not just the digestive system, including the cardiovascular and the immune systems.*
The importance of a healthy gut microbiome and its relation to the immune system has recently become an area of scientific studies. Research has shown much of your immune system can be found in the GI tract. The addition of the special prebiotic blend in dōTERRA Fiber provides food for probiotics in the gut to support a healthy microbiome and immune system.*

Do you hate eating vegetables!? I still live with adults who believe corn is a vegetable and that is the only one that doesn’t get some push back here.
There are many reasons you may not be getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. It’s expensive, preparation can be time consuming, and you may feel unsure of how much you really need to eat.
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, less than one out of every three adults eats the recommended amount of fruit per day, and over 70 percent do not meet guidelines for vegetable consumption.
dōTERRA Greens was created to supplement your fruits and vegetables intake with responsibly sourced, wholesome ingredients. dōTERRA Greens is a convenient and tasty way to provide your body with essential nutrients and dietary fiber to enhance overall wellness.*

NUTRITION QUESTIONS
What type of protein is used? a. Chocolate and Vanilla: Whey protein concentrate and casein. b. Vegan: pea, brown rice, flaxseed, Sacha inchi, and pumpkin seed.
Is there any soy in the products? a. All of the new products are soy free.
Are these safe for pregnant and lactating women? a. We recommend any women who are pregnant or lactating inform their physician about their use of our products and to follow their physician’s advice. However, when used appropriately, we know of no contradictions that would prevent someone from using dōTERRA products.
Why are the new products not labeled as organic? a. Pursuing organic certification was something we considered. However, our current quality control processes and analytical testing provide an equivalent benefit as organic certification. Additionally, pursuing organic certification would increase the cost of the product, and we decided to prioritize affordability to keep these products as accessible as possible for all.
Are all the dо̄TERRA Protein flavors gluten free? a. Yes, all of the dо̄TERRA Protein options (Chocolate, Vanilla, and Vegan) are certified gluten free. The oat flour included in these products is sourced from a specific plant in Ireland that has very strict gluten controls in place.
Are the Fiber and Greens gluten free? a. While they are not certified gluten-free, we have verified that all the ingredients in these two products are free of gluten. (and all other allergens except for dairy which is in the vanilla and chocolate whey protein shakes).
Why are sweeteners added to the products? a. Monk fruit and stevia—which are both natural sweeteners—were added to the dо̄TERRA Nutrition products to help them be delicious as stand-alone mixes.
Do the ingredients follow our sourcing practices? a. As with all our products, these new products follow dо̄TERRA’s commitment to best sourcing practices. We avoid any questionable supply chain sources and follow the same rigid testing standards (potency, purity, contaminants, etc.) that we hold ourselves to with all our products.
Are any products being discontinued once this new line launches? a. Yes, dо̄TERRA Protein will replace all Slim and Sassy Trim Shakes, and dо̄TERRA Greens is the new, improved version of TERRAGreens. doTERRA Fiber is a new product and therefore will not be replacing any current products we offer.
Are these products safe for children to consume? a. While the Nutrition products were designed with the nutritional needs of adults in mind, these products were made using whole food ingredients that can be found in the daily diet of adults and children. Though all of the Nutritional products should generally be safe for children, we recommend that parents adjust serving sizes for children as they see necessary.
Are the greens and fiber Vegan? a. Yes, the Greens and Fiber are both vegan.
What flavor is the Vegan protein? a. The Vegan protein is vanilla flavored.
What flavor is the Vegan protein? a. The Vegan protein is vanilla flavored.
Why did we include Maltodextrin? a. Maltodextrin is used as an excipient (processing aid or carrier or incidental additive) and is a crucial ingredient for the production process. The maltodextrin used to produce dо̄TERRA supplements is sourced from natural sources like corn, wheat, cassava or tapioca root and is used in very small amounts. dо̄TERRA is transparent with our product labeling and this is why you see maltodextrin listed on our supplement labels and may not see it included on supplement labels from other companies.
What are the natural flavors? a. Instead of listing 5-10 different flavor components (I.e., the Vanilla flavor- there is vanilla extract, vanillin, and other natural flavors that contribute to give that desired vanilla flavor) we list it as natural flavor.
Why did we include Oat Flour? a. We included this as an additional source of protein and fiber, as well as a source of beta-glucan. In a crowded protein space, this unique source of protein and fiber helps to differentiate our product, providing a nice taste and mouthfeel along with the benefits of beta-glucan, all while being certified gluten-free (at 10 ppm, which is tighter than the industry requirement of 20 ppm). b. The oat flour we are using is independently verified to be gluten-free by Gluten Watchdog and is certified by the Celiac Societies of Ireland, the UK, and Spain.
What are the serving sizes? a. Vanilla Protein: 1 serving is 37g; 20 servings total b. Chocolate Protein: 1 serving is 41g; 20 servings total c. Vegan Protein: 1 serving is 39g; 20 servings total d. dо̄TERRA Greens: 1 serving is 12g; 30 servings total e. dо̄TERRA Fiber: 1 serving is 11g; 30 servings total
Are all of these new products vegan-friendly? a. Most of the new products are vegan-friendly except for the vanilla and chocolate proteins – which include whey proteins.
Do these new products contain dairy? a. The vanilla and chocolate whey proteins contain dairy. The Vegan protein, Greens, and Fiber are all dairy free.
Is this a meal replacement? a. This product is a protein supplement, not a meal replacement. It can be used as a base for a meal replacement depending on what you add to it to boost caloric and nutritional intake.
Which Markets can purchase these new items? a. These kits are available for the US market, participating NFR markets, and GAC.
Why are the doTERRA Greens and Fiber 30 servings, while the doTERRA Proteins are 20 servings? a. The amount of servings included in the packages align with the Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein in the average adult, reinforcing and contributing to making strong daily routines.
What is the difference between the new Greens and TerraGreens? a. There have been a handful of new additions to this product, most notably the Superfood blend and we aimed to improve the flavor.

Essential oils can be useful for creating a healthy body, supporting the immune system, soothing feelings of discomfort, and more.*
Because of these powerful benefits, essential oils are useful and effective during every phase of life—even during pregnancy. By following proper safety guidelines, you can feel confident in using essential oils during pregnancy and delivery.
When you are pregnant, your body goes through a wide variety of changes. These changes often bring feelings of discomfort and sensitivity throughout the body. While every pregnancy is a little different, the goal is to support the healthy, proper function of the entire body. Along with proper nutrition and regular exercise, essential oils can be used during pregnancy to help support a healthy body and healthy baby.
Is it safe to use essential oils while I’m pregnant?
You might be wondering, “It is safe to use essential oils during pregnancy?” Due to the ethical issue of testing expecting mothers and their fetuses, there are limited clinical studies addressing the safety of essential oils during pregnancy. However, we can rely on the history of safe use to determine which essential oils to use during pregnancy.
It is important to remember that during pregnancy, it is not uncommon for a woman to be sensitive to essential oils. Due to these sensitivities and all of the changes that occur in the body when pregnant, it is important to consult with your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy.
Talking to your doctor about using essential oils while pregnant
Even if you’ve used essential oils before without incident, you should still inform your doctor of any essential oils you plan to use during your pregnancy. Your doctor knows you, your specific health concerns, and the status of your pregnancy, and therefore, should be aware of any and all essential oil products you plan to use during pregnancy.
Because each pregnancy is different, your doctor is the best resource for making a treatment plan and determining which essential oils are best to use during pregnancy for each individual. Your doctor can give you a good idea of what to avoid during pregnancy, and any other safety measures you should take based on your personal health and the health of your growing baby.
Other safety guidelines for using essential oils when pregnant
As mentioned, it is not uncommon for pregnant women to experience increased sensitivity to essential oils. You might consider adapting the amount of oil you use or application methods when using essential oils during pregnancy to help with any sensitivities that arise.
It is also important to remember that not all essential oils are created equal. It is crucial that you use pure essential oils during pregnancy—you will want oils that are free of toxins and contaminants. All doTERRA essential oils are thoroughly tested to ensure purity and safety, and when used appropriately, provide a safe option during pregnancy.
What essential oils are safe to use during pregnancy?
Once you’ve talked with your doctor about your pregnancy and essential oils, you can start to safely use essential oils during pregnancy. Here are a few ideas for how to use essential oils during pregnancy:
Essential oils for morning sickness and nausea:
Peppermint oil and Cardamom oil can alleviate occasional stomach upset when taken in veggie capsules or added to water.
Ginger oil may help reduce occasional nausea when taken internally.
Spearmint oil offers many of the same benefits as Peppermint oil, but serves as a milder option to help with sensitivity or stomach upset that occurs during pregnancy.
The DigestZen® Digestive Blend is doTERRA’s tummy tamer blend and provides a healthy, natural way to soothe an upset stomach.
Essential oils for heartburn:DigestTab® Chewable Tablets are infused with the DigestZen tummy tamer blend, delivering digestion-supportive oils, and the acid-neutralizing benefits of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate helps maintain stomach acid balance to help you deal with the discomfort that comes from heartburn and indigestion—without the chalky aftertaste.
Essential oils for pregnancy back discomfort: Massaging soothing essential oil blends like Deep Blue® on the lower back can be helpful when experiencing back discomfort. When discomfort in the legs or feet arise, rubbing the AromaTouch® Massage Blend on the lower extremities can help these problem areas.
Essential oils for better sleep during pregnancy: Good sleep and rest are paramount during pregnancy. Blends like doTERRA Balance®, doTERRA Breathe®, doTERRA Serenity®, are full of calming and soothing essential oils and can be used aromatically create a relaxing environment. Other essential oils like Clary Sage, Dill, Lavender, and Sandalwood promote feelings of calmness and can create an ideal atmosphere for achieving a good night of rest. In addition to diffusion and aromatic use, these oils can also be applied topically or used internally when appropriate.
For restful sleep during pregnancy, try the following suggestions:
Place a few drops of essential oil on your blankets or pillows at nighttime.
Diffuse calming essential oils for 30 minutes before going to bed.
Add one to two drops of Lavender oil to a cup of hot water for a relaxing tea that can help you unwind at bedtime.
Essential oils for better skin during pregnancy: A pregnant woman’s body is ever changing, and this includes changes in the skin. As the body works to keep up with a growing fetus, the skin can often become stretched and taut. Another challenge that many women experience during pregnancy is an increase in oil production of the skin. Thankfully, many essential oils can help to reduce the appearance of oily skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and beautify the skin.
Here are a few of the best essential oils for skin during pregnancy:
Essential oils for emotional support during pregnancy: In addition to all of the changes occurring in the body during pregnancy, the changes in a woman’s hormones can cause heightened emotions. To manage mood during pregnancy, consider using any of the essential oils from the doTERRA Emotional Aromatherapy System™. This collection provides a variety of oils to help you deal with the wide range of emotions that you’ll encounter throughout your pregnancy. Use these oils and any of your favorite calming, soothing, or uplifting oils to help manage your mood during the emotionally taxing months of pregnancy.
Essential oils for labor and delivery:
Because essential oils promote uplifting and calming feelings, they can be extremely useful during labor and delivery when stress, anxious feelings, and emotions are running high. Research shows that women who use essential oils during labor and delivery have reported less anxious feelings and felt more positive about their experience, when compared to women who did not use essential oils.
The combination of doTERRA Balance® and Wild Orange oil make a good blend, especially during delivery when you want to balance emotions and dispel anxious feelings.
Try using the AromaTouch® blend topically for comforting and relaxing effects. This blend helps to soothe the mind and the body, and is especially helpful for soothing areas of tension and stress when applied to the back and shoulders.
Clary Sage oil can be used to reduce tension, which is helpful for contractions. Consider blending Clary Sage with other calming essential oils like Lavender oil or Geranium oil.
Is it safe to use essential oils when breastfeeding?
In addition to concerns about essential oils and pregnancy, many people ask, “Is it safe to use essential oils while breastfeeding?” While the body changes significantly during pregnancy, these changes don’t end with the birth of the baby—your body will continue to change as you adapt to post-partum life. Just as you should discuss the use of essential oils with your doctor before using them for pregnancy, you’ll also want to consult with your physician when you begin nursing.
Again, your doctor is the best resource for advice when it comes to your body, your baby, and any special concerns you might have. Just as you would check with your doctor before using any new products when breastfeeding, it is important to discuss your essential oil use with your healthcare professional when you become a nursing mother.
Like pregnancy, breastfeeding places a lot of demands on a mother’s body. When nursing, the goal is to maintain a strong and healthy body that will support a healthy newborn. With the help of your doctor, you can use essential oils and essential oil products that support healthy function of the whole body.

Personally, I discovered essential oils over 15 years ago and although my pregnancy days are years behind me I have had many friends and clients who have thanked me for introducing them to essential oils during their pregnancies to support them with skin, sleep, immune and most important emotional related issues.
Stephanie Fritz also known as The Essential Midwife, has a very successful midwifery practice in Southeast Arizona. doTERRA interviewed her to find out a little more about using essential oils during pregnancy and with children.
Her advice when educating her clients on this topic is simple: “My intention in a class about using essential oils during pregnancy is to eliminate the fears around using essential oils during pregnancy, birth, and with your children or babies.” Remembering the lessons from our Introduction to Oils Workshops you will recall the importance of Purity from doTERRA. This is so important to trusting that these oils are Safe, Effective, and Affordable.
In addition to the use of essential oils for reasons mentioned above I like to focus on the following guideline for supporting Pregnant mommas :
1. Let’s talk about the importance of nutrition. I think we can all agree with Stephanie who says, “Nutrition is the number one thing to watch during pregnancy. I always refer to diet even before bringing up essential oils. For example, I recommend that you have 80-100 grams of protein, dark green leafy veggies, and that you drink at least 3-4 quarts of water every day. Only after you have the proper nutrition do you add in essential oils and supplements from doTERRA®.”
2. Specific essential oils and supplements that are safe to use for each stage of pregnancy and with babies. It is very important to consult with your health care professional about any supplements you are taking. Stephanie recommends:
doTERRA Microplex MVp™. “It’s a great supplement to add to your doTERRA wellness lifestyle even before pregnancy. With my clients, I talk about it being a wholefood supplement and that our bodies assimilate that much better than synthetic vitamins. You can use this supplement no matter what stage of life you are in.”
Note: Sometimes even the healthiest of diets fail to offer optimum nutrition, which is why a prenatal is often recommended. Although not specifically designed to be a prenatal, many women, working closely with their qualified healthcare provider, choose to take Microplex to help fill nutritional gaps. Also, many women choose to take xEO Mega®, which provides important brain-development nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids (particularly DHA).
