In the world of sports, essential oils have many benefits for athletes. A university with
an NCAA Division I athletic program now works with dōTERRA to receive instruction
on essential oils and the AromaTouch® Technique. All of their campus training facilities
have implemented dōTERRA products into their training and physical therapy
approaches with impressive results.
To help the trainers understand the benefits of dōTERRA
products, the university welcomed more information and
training on essential oils. The trainings focused on oils such
as Deep Blue®, dōTERRA Breathe™, Lemongrass, White Fir,
Lavender, and dōTERRA On Guard®. dōTERRA shared tips
with the full staff of athletic trainers about how to dilute
for sensitivity with Fractionated Coconut Oil, and the
uplifting benefits of diffusing essential oils. The trainers,
in particular the Coordinator of Football Performance,
were impressed with the idea of first working oils such
as White Fir and Lemongrass deep into the tissue with
manipulation, and afterward applying the Deep Blue Rub.
Another significant challenge many athletes face is how
to manage stress effectively. Balancing the emotional and
physical demands of a taxing schedule can be tricky for
students. The trainers had a particular interest in learning
about the AromaTouch® Hand Technique to help relieve
some of that tension. Samples of Lavender and other
oils were also given to the trainers. One trainer shared,
“Athletes often ask us for something to help them relax
and sleep better. It’s not something you might always
think about when dealing with sports. And I’m happy
to be able to offer an athlete a natural solution first.” As
they began to use the products, many trainers came back
with questions about how they could better benefit from
the products, not only to help those who already had
problems, but also how they could use them to keep their
athletes healthy.
