Citrus Oils: Why Use Them Internally

If you’ve been following along with Symphony of the Cells™ and Boyd Truman, you’ve heard citrus oils mentioned once or a hundred times. So, why do they matter? Why should you use doTERRA pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils in your daily routine? Pure citrus oils, including everything from Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange, Grapefruit, to Tangerine and Bergamot, come from the rind of the fruit.
