Yet one more reason that I love doTERRA essential oils, not only do they benefit the health of all of those that use their oils, but doTERRA also greatly benefits the local economy of the partner farms where doTERRA's oils are sourced from around the world.
"Essential oils are becoming more and more popular as people recognize the amazing benefits they provide toward improving health. As the market builds and doTERRA’s amazing success is evidenced, more and more competitors attempt to enter the market place. Here is why doTERRA is the best choice. doTERRA oils are sourced from native regions with partner farms that have generations of experience and reputations of handling their product with passion and perfection. Only doTERRA works with farmers in their indigenous regions to LIFT the economy by working to bring fare prices for their products. doTERRA demands the highest quality oils and sustainable farming practices which insures our valuable oils will be available long into the future. doTERRA does this by funding state of the art distillation equipment, building schools and improving local medical facilities. doTERRA offers producers a billion dollar annual customer channel. No other company has this type of market penetration. Other companies seek to have their own farms (which leads to limited accountability, limited experience, limited environmental control, massive increases in overhead, robs the existing communities of much needed economy), or they wholesale through middlemen attempting to drive the prices to poverty levels for farmers (which depletes the local economy and forces poverty conditions in many indigenous regions). I am ecstatic to be a doTERRA distributor and represent the most fantastic, life changing products on planet Earth!" - Rod Richardson, Edge Essentials
