History
The Aztecs made vanilla popular as it was prized and often used in perfumes, Vanilla is extremely popular in all cultures. Madagascar provides about 80% of the real vanilla used in the world. The tropical climate provides ideal growing conditions.
doTERRA contributed to a social impact project with Madagascar vanilla through the Co-Impact Sourcing® program and the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation®. It is called the Mahadera Agricultural Training Center.
Oil Description
Vanilla is one of the most expensive plants to source, next to saffron. Because of this, most vanilla you find is synthetic. Vanilla planifolia is a type of orchid and the flowers must be hand-pollinated to produce fruit. The flower typically only blooms once a year in the cool hours of the morning. Farmers must be diligent to get the timing right for pollination.
Cautions
Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
