Discover how doTERRA Breu Branco is sourced (Translated Subtitles)

<<0>> We are here, next to a Breu Branco tree.

<<4>> This is “breu” (resin).

<<6>> Breu Branco is scraped very carefully,

<<8>> to not damage the tree.

<<12>> The tree releases this resin, when a maggot, called “Turu”,

<<17>> makes a hole here, the tree starts to release this resin.

<<23>> It’s interesting because this isn’t the result of human action.

<<28>> Those who work here,

<<29>> extract what the tree has already released.

<<34>> The “Turu” (maggot) damaged the tree

<<37>> and as a defense mechanism it releases the resin.

<<40>> The only thing that is harvested,

<<42>> is what nature already created on its own.

<<65>> These are the cooperative headquarters in Marajó’s Island.

<<70>> It was created in partnership with our current supplier.

<<74>> This cooperative was created

<<77>> to incentivise the harvesters and the local people

<<81>> to generate a bit more value from the land in this region.

<<88>> So, the cooperative helped the harvesters in this region,

<<91>> and the communities living in the region to increase their income.

<<95>> Today, they live off the fruits in the region,

<<97>> the Amazonian fruits.

<<99>> That became an incentive to care for the land

<<103>> and work with a new type of income, including Breu Branco.
