Ocotea Essential Oil is extracted from an evergreen tree (Ocotea Quixos) in Ecuador. Referred to as Ecuadorian cinnamon, the bark of this tree is used during cooking and food rituals.
Ocotea (pronounced: Ock-o-tay-a) has the highest level of alpha humulene of any Young Living essential oil, which is a compound that helps aid the body's natural response to irritation and injury.*

How do I use it? Take it internally in a glass of water (mix in a breakfast smoothie!), or dilute with a carrier oil (like olive oil or coconut oil) and apply topically.
To purchase you have 2 options:
Retail or Wholesale Distributor (think "VIP").Don't be frightened by the word "Distributor." Being a Distributor only means that you get a discounted wholesale price, and have the option to sell the product yourself, if you choose. To purchase wholesale as a Distributor you’ll need to make a purchase of a starter kit while you’re joining. No worries, there is absolutely no requirement to do anything ever again, other than log in and order products at your convenience, and only if you choose. It’s just like being a Young Living VIP!
