doTERRA Deep Blue is perfect for a soothing massage after a long day of work. Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus work together to soothe and cool. After long hours on the computer, try rubbing Deep Blue proprietary blend on your fingers, wrists, shoulders, and neck. A few drops of Deep Blue Soothing Blend diluted in doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil can be part of a cooling and comforting massage. Deep Blue is one of the Top Ten oils from doTERRA and a very popular option for Athletes.

Research

In a recent study, doTERRA researchers investigated the effect of CPTG Deep Blue essential oil blend on human skin cells using the BioMAP^® dermal fibroblast system.¹ By adding certain factors to cultured skin cells, the researchers induced a cellular response that was designed to imitate a cellular inflammation response in a living person. Some of the pre-inflamed skin cells were exposed to Deep Blue essential oil blend while others were left alone.

After exposure to the blend, the cells were collected and burst open. RNA was extracted from a solution containing the cellular contents and sent for RNA microarray analysis. The microarray results indicated that signaling pathways related to inflammation, immunomodulation, and wound healing were affected in cells exposed to Deep Blue essential oil blend.¹

The major active components of doTERRA Deep Blue including methyl salicylate, menthol, eucalyptol, and camphor, are organic molecules that possess beneficial properties and are widely used in various health care products. These facts taken together with the experimental results help explain why Deep Blue is soothing after strenuous exercise – why it’s so great for athletes.
