March Newsletter

Greetings from sunny Florida! February was so busy and flew by at such an alarming rate that my head is spinning, but what a fun and unforgettable month it was.

I can hardly wait to share the details of my Healing Hands trip to Guatemala, but it has taken me a bit of time to adjust physically and also process everything mentally and emotionally. I have scheduled a Webinar to share photos and details from our journey, and you'll find the information about that below.

My family and I are in the Sunshine State for just a few more days while I attend dōTERRA's annual leadership conference, and then we'll head back to North Carolina to buy and move into our new-to-us High Point home. I look forward to being in our home area more regularly, but we do still plan to travel quite a bit as well.

Whether you're in North Carolina, another state, or halfway across the world, I hope this spring-focused newsletter helps you march forth in health and hope. Now let's take a look together at spring cleaning, spring cooking, balancing a healthy gut and our emotions, and getting the most out of our spring workouts.

Happy ōiling,

Crystal

dōTERRA Cardamom essential oil is produced from cardamom seeds grown in Guatemala, where dōTERRA has established a Co-Impact Sourcing initiative to help local growers improve their quality of life. Last month I had the opportunity to visit the cardamom farm, drying facility, and distillery, and it was truly such an honor to see the entire process firsthand (when I took the above photos). By providing the drying facility for the cardamom plants in close proximity to the farmers, dōTERRA has helped improve the efficiency of the harvesting and production process. Before, cardamom growers had to travel far distances to dry the product, which was problematic due to the short shelf life of cardamom seeds. Aside from aiding with equipment and production processes, dōTERRA has provided help for cardamom growers in Guatemala by offering education regarding growing, harvesting, and other agricultural activities. In addition, dōTERRA's Healing Hands Foundation funded a training school where young people can learn a viable trade to have better educational and vocational opportunities, and our team loved serving the school staff and students during our time there.

Many parents, including myself, were drawn to essential oils to promote the health of their children. As you model healthy living, a greater balance between mind, body, and spirit will develop within your children as well. I can’t help but smile when I see the next generation of essential oil users at work. As we spark their interests in health, let us also be mindful of safety.

We will focus on two oils: Peppermint and Eucalyptus. Peppermint’s main constituent is menthol, and Eucalyptus’ main constituent is 1,8 cineole. We need this review to help us understand why you may have heard to “avoid using Peppermint or Eucalyptus oils with young children.” When we take a critical eye to the data, we are reassured that our daily use of properly applied essential oils are the safe and healthful practice we intended them to be for our little ones. Of course, it is always a good safety practice to store essential oils out of reach of children.
