Some of the most memorable moments on dōTERRA trips don’t happen at the resort or during the excursions. They happen when everyone comes together to serve.

On many of the Incentive Trips, a special day is set aside for a local service project. Participants step away from the typical trip activities and spend time helping within the community that is hosting the event. Whether it’s supporting local schools, community spaces, or other projects, it’s a meaningful way to give something back.

Sharing that experience with others on the trip often ends up being one of the highlights.

Cardamom is a warm, spicy oil that many people love to add to drinks like chai tea, and it’s also well known for supporting digestive comfort.

Much of the world’s cardamom comes from Guatemala, where the crop grows especially well in the country’s humid, mountainous regions. Through Cō-Impact Sourcing, dōTERRA works directly with farmers there, helping create reliable income opportunities for families who depend on agriculture.

Community projects in the region have also been supported together with organizations like CHOICE Humanitarian, including vocational training programs that teach practical skills such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality.

To help protect the quality of the harvest, improved cardamom drying facilities have also been introduced. Because the pods need to be dried quickly after harvesting, these facilities allow farmers to process their crop faster and receive better value for their work.

It’s another example of how sourcing essential oils can support both high-quality oils and the communities that grow them.

Did you know that dĹŤTERRA offers CĹŤ-Impact Sourcing trips where Wellness Advocates can travel to the places where essential oils are grown?

These trips give participants the opportunity to see the sourcing process firsthand and take part in Healing Hands humanitarian projects in local communities. It’s a chance to meet the farmers, visit distillation sites, and help support projects that make a lasting difference.

Over the years, Wellness Advocates have traveled to places like Guatemala, Kenya, Nepal, and Bulgaria, working on projects that support schools, clean water initiatives, community development, and more.
Because these trips are so popular, participation is typically limited and often involves qualification requirements or a lottery system depending on the specific trip.

For many people, it becomes one of the most meaningful experiences they have within the dĹŤTERRA community.

The Hawaiian Islands are known for their volcanic landscapes and incredibly rich soil, which makes them an ideal place for many unique plant species to grow. One of the most treasured is Hawaiian Sandalwood.

For centuries, Sandalwood has been valued for its warm, calming aroma. Unfortunately, heavy harvesting in the past led to major declines in native Sandalwood forests across Hawaii.

Today, a different approach is being taken.

Through the Kealakekua Mountain Reserve (KMR) on the Big Island, doTERRA works alongside local partners to help restore and protect native Sandalwood forests. This large conservation and reforestation project focuses on carefully managing the land, protecting existing trees, and planting thousands of new ones to support the long-term health of the ecosystem.

Early harvesting efforts primarily relied on dead or naturally fallen trees, allowing younger trees time to grow and regenerate. Extensive nurseries and ongoing planting programs continue to expand the native forest.

The goal is not only to produce Sandalwood essential oil, but also to restore native Hawaiian forests and ensure these trees thrive for generations to come.
Pretty incredible to think that one small bottle of oil is connected to such a large conservation effort.

One of the organizations supported through projects funded by the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is CHOICE Humanitarian.

CHOICE Humanitarian focuses on helping rural communities build long-term stability through education, infrastructure, and economic development. Instead of temporary aid, their programs work directly with local communities to create solutions that allow families to become more self-reliant over time.

In places like Nepal, this partnership has supported projects such as rebuilding schools, improving water access, strengthening local infrastructure, and helping communities recover after natural disasters.

These efforts often take place in the same regions where essential oils are sourced, helping support both the people and the communities behind the oils.

Frankincense is often called the “King of Oils.” But where does it actually come from?

Frankincense essential oil is distilled from the resin of Boswellia trees that grow in dry, rugged regions of the world. What many people don’t realize is that there isn’t just one type of Frankincense tree. Several different species produce resin, each growing best in slightly different environments.

dĹŤTERRA Frankincense is a proprietary blend sourced from four Boswellia species:

â–Ş Boswellia carterii
â–Ş Boswellia sacra
â–Ş Boswellia frereana
â–Ş Boswellia papyrifera

Because each species thrives in different conditions, the resin is harvested from several regions including Oman, Somaliland, and Ethiopia, where these trees naturally grow.

Through CĹŤ-Impact Sourcing, dĹŤTERRA works directly with harvesters and sorting communities rather than relying on multiple layers of middlemen. This helps provide more reliable income, fair compensation, and greater economic stability for the people who collect the resin.

At the same time, sustainability efforts are in place to help protect the trees themselves. Frankincense has been harvested for thousands of years, and responsible practices help ensure these trees and their ecosystems can continue to thrive for generations.

There’s a reason people often say, “When in doubt, use Frankincense.” Its versatility makes it one of the most loved oils in many homes.

One of the organizations supported through the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is Days for Girls, a global movement focused on improving access to menstrual care and education.

Around the world, many girls miss school or lack safe options during their menstrual cycle. In some regions, materials like rags, leaves, or other improvised items are used simply because there are no better alternatives available.

Days for Girls works to change that. The organization provides washable, reusable menstrual kits along with important health education that helps girls and women manage their cycles safely and with dignity.

Beyond the kits themselves, the program also supports local enterprises and community partnerships, helping create sustainable solutions that empower women and girls long term.

Since its beginning, the movement has reached more than one million girls worldwide, and continues to grow.

My Story

About 7 years ago my husband brought some Essential Oils into our home. I thought they were weird. They smelled funny, in small little bottles and thought they were just plain ODD! I refused to use them. I really had a hang up on the thinking of “what else will people come up with to sell? it’s all a money scheme!” 2 months went by and I had burned myself and it hurt so I thought what have I got to lose by trying this oils called Lavender. So I did and it actually worked. I did not want to admit to my husband that they really did work. I just kind of shrugged my shoulder and made a funny face when he asked me how my hand was doing. The next morning I got a book out that he had laying around and started reading about the science behind it, saw the chemistry too (didn’t quite understand it, but enough to know it was legit!) and then noticed there was an oil called Frankincense. I remember that word. It was a gift to the Christ Child and that was when light bulb went off in my head. I was curious! I wanted to learn more but didn’t want to tell anyone. Just keep it to myself and my family. Well, I had a profound experience with an oil and one of my children that really helped when I had been looking for a solution. Then it happened, my heart was speaking to me. Tell me I needed to share these oils, people needed to know there are options. After praying about this, I knew it was the right thing to do. I needed to start teaching others. Now it’s what I do, it’s my passion. I love teaching others, helping others, holding their hands. I feel purpose with this business and it is now my profession.
