Armonia Essentials

Veronica lost her husband in a road accident in 2014. To provide for her five small children, she started making ropes from the fibers of plants. Initially, she would make about 200 shillings a day, but over time local shops stopped buying from her. Veronica made friends with another young widowed mother, Lucy. As they contemplated how they would make ends meet and provide for their young families, they met Mr. Kigo. A man who changed their lives. He told them to leave their jobs and to work for him instead; harvesting pink pepper. Veronica was a natural! Since she started harvesting pink pepper, Veronica has been able to make 1500 shillings a day compared to the meager 200-300 she was earning previously. Veronica and Lucy are just two examples of the hundreds and thousands of lives that are and will be impacted by the harvest of Pink Pepper. That’s why doTERRA does co-impact sourcing. It is all about the individual and how we can make their lives better. ▷ LEARN MORE ABOUT DOTERRA PINK PEPPER ESSENTIAL OIL HERE: https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog/spotlight-pink-pepper-oil ▷ LEARN MORE ABOUT DOTERRA CO IMPACT SOURCING HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXSMxzwy2wU&list=PLp3VbOdUkkm34vyJpzl4RudAq-6GjFe5- https://www.doterra.com/US/en/difference-co-impact-sourcing We’re so grateful for these partnerships that allow us to harvest the purest essential oils from all over the world.

The pink peppercorn, while similar in appearance to black peppercorn apart from the color, is closely related to cashews. The “molle,” or pink peppercorn tree, was considered a sacred tree to ancient Incans. Indigenous populations used all parts of the tree, including the pink peppercorn fruit, as herbal solutions to health needs. Pink Pepper essential oil is well known for its ability to help support a healthy metabolism and immune system when taken internally. Pink Pepper may also help the body maintain healthy cellular function and overall cellular health.

Recently, doTERRA gathered a group of employees and Wellness Advocates to travel to Guatemala. While there, they were able to learn more about how our growers in the area harvest Cardamom for our Cardamom essential oil, and participate in various service projects hosted by doTERRA's Healing Hands Foundation™. Guatemala was chosen as the Co-Impact Sourcing location for doTERRA’s Cardamom essential oil because the environment in Alta Verapaz is particularly conducive to the cardamom plant. The hot, humid, rainy weather, paired with the nutrient-rich clay soil, produces the perfect balance of the therapeutic chemical components targeted in doTERRA’s CPTG® Cardamom essential oil. Only one percent of the world’s cardamom plants are distilled for essential oil, while the balance is harvested and sold into the global spice market. Guatemala is the world’s largest exporter of cardamom for the spice market. The production market for cardamom, however, has historically been rather unstable in Alta Verapaz. Because this area is so remote and transportation so difficult, small farmers are often left with few options and are typically forced to sell their cardamom to middlemen at lower prices. The middlemen then resell the cardamom at higher prices. This exchange leaves the farmers in a tight economic spot as they try to produce quality cardamom and make a profit on their crops. By partnering with doTERRA in a Co-Impact Sourcing program, cardamom growers in Guatemala receive several benefits through working together within cooperatives. First, small farmers are able to earn predictable, stable incomes for their families, as well as participate in the collective benefits provided by the cooperatives, including resources and technical assistance for improved methods of growing their cardamom plants. Such collective benefits often enable members to obtain better pricing on agricultural inputs, better access to financial instruments, and access to collectively owned drying facilities that result in the harvesters receiving fair pricing for their cardamom production. Additionally, doTERRA contributes a portion of the purchase of every kilogram of cardamom directly to the harvesting communities to build schools, hospitals, and other community-benefitting projects for improved livelihoods. ▷ LEARN MORE ABOUT CARDAMOM OIL SOURCING HERE: https://youtu.be/Mb7_h-4OtdY ▷ LEARN MORE ABOUT DOTERRA CO-IMPACT SOURCING HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbiu-Duwo2k&list=PLp3VbOdUkkm34vyJpzl4RudAq-6GjFe5- _________________________________________________________________ For more information on doTERRA products follow us on: →Facebook https://www.facebook.com/doterra/ →Instagram https://www.instagram.com/doterra/ →Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/doTERRA/ →Blog: https://www.doterra.com/US/en/blog-pr... →Twitter: https://twitter.com/doterra

The plant produces small, delicate, pink flowers, and thrives in high altitudes. This is why Spikenard flourishes so well in the Himalayan mountains. Spikenard essential oil is extracted from the roots and is produced using the process of steam distillation. For centuries, Spikenard has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic health practices native to India, and was historically used to anoint those of high honor. Sourcing doTERRA Spikenard oil is legally sourced from Nepal with regulatory oversight by the Nepal Government Department of Forests (dof.gov.np) to ensure CITES compliance. All doTERRA Spikenard oil is sourced from distillers and partners who are required to provide CITES certification and permits for regulated oil production and legal exportation. doTERRA can provide sustainable income for Spikenard harvesters and distillers. Because many of these harvest areas are remote, it can be difficult for distillers and harvesters to receive the income necessary to support their families. With the doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing® initiative in Nepal, Spikenard harvesters and distillers can enjoy fair, on time payments. Not only does this initiative help the harvesters themselves, but doTERRA also works to help these rural areas with special community projects that aim to improve quality of life. CITES Certification doTERRA works in strict compliance with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). CITES provides the international agreement between governments to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. doTERRA voluntarily, systematically, and enthusiastically complies with CITES recommendations and restrictions. Revered since ancient times for its uplifting, relaxing aroma and ability to promote clean skin, Spikenard essential oil is still extremely useful and beneficial today. Used to promote healthy skin, relaxation, and uplifted mood, Spikenard oil is known for its distinct, woody, spicy scent that creates a pleasant aroma when diffused or used as a personal perfume. _________________________________________________________________ For more information on doTERRA products follow us on: →Facebook https://www.facebook.com/doterra/ →Instagram https://www.instagram.com/doterra/ →Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/doTERRA/ →Blog https://doterra.com/US/en/blog-products →Twitter https://twitter.com/doterra
