Urgent Care The Podcast, Archives (Originally Published on 9/05/2018): Featured Guest, Jayme Bella Founder of Greenerways Organics.
For Jayme, the first thought of an organic company came during the summer of 2008 when her house was damaged by a severe storm and became infested with insects. She was pregnant at the time and increasingly eco-conscious, she started reading the labels of traditional insect repellents and realized they were ridden with harmful chemicals and other ingredients that were completely unknown to her. Fearful of what these chemicals could do to her unborn child, she began to research various essential oils and the properties they contained.
Shortly thereafter, she invested in a small machine that allowed her to mix small quantities of essential oils. After much research, she wound up with a variety of oils, all of which had repellent properties to varying degrees. Through the process of hard work and extensive mixing and matching she, along with her family, eventually derived a formula that actually repelled insects, was kind to skin, and was safe. Sharing with friends and other family members led to positive confirmation of their findings and Greenerways Organic Bug Spray was born.
