"I just received my order from Ananda Apothecary yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Shipping was fast and well packaged and customer service was extremely friendly. I compared my new oils with some I had from Doterra and Young Living - can't even tell a difference! I am very satisfied and will be placing another order very soon."
~ RaeMac, from Reseller Ratings

"Their prices are good and their products are of high quality. Their customer service is very impressive...and it was clear that they just do not want to impress you into buying their products, they do care about the quality of their products. I bought about 12 different oils from them, and I am very pleased...Will I buy again? Yes indeed."
~ G.O. London, U.K.

"After some EXTENSIVE research and actual shopping around, I have come to find that Ananda Apothecary is, IMHO, simply offers the BEST essential oils to for my use, both for my budding business (for fragrance and soothing use in my soaps and body lotions to name two), AND for my personal use. Thank you Ananda Apothecary; after much searching, I have found a home to happily park my essential oil business!"
~ G.L. from Reseller Ratings

"What a true gem! Ananda Apothecary goes above and beyond with their essential oils, the array of carrier oils and flower essences. I've placed two orders and received both promptly  two days later. The quality is sheer perfection. I love you Ananda Apothecary! Thanks!"
~ M.C Memphis, TN

"Both product and service are exceptional. Quality of consciousness does matter."

New Essential Oil Science Updates

Cedarwood Tree from which Cedarwood Essential Oil is DistilledSeveral new scientific reports have come out regarding the efficacy of essential oils in eradicating cancer cells. The latest two available on Pubmed.gov involve Cedarwood and Frankincense essential oils. You can read more on our blog: On Cedarwood, research has shown its ability to cause cell death in a line of leukemia cells. In this study, several species of Cedarwood were evaluated for their efficacy in eradicating the K562 cell line, which is a variety of leukemia. Of the cedarwood oils mentioned, Ananda carries Moroccan Atlantic Cedarwood, and we may carry Himalayan Cedarwood in the future.

Frankincense is the most widely studied essential oil for its anti-cancer properties. A study titled "Boswellia sacra essential oil induces tumor cell-specific apoptosis and suppresses tumor aggressiveness in cultured human breast cancer cells" by Suhail MM, Wu W, Cao A, Mondalek FG, Fung KM, Shih PT, Fang YT, Woolley C, Young G, and Lin HK, was published in BMC Complement Altern Med. While Frankincense has been shown to cause natural cell death to malignant cells in every organ system tested, this was the first to be performed specifically on breast cancer cells.

In fact, we have had clients tell us that while they were making no healing progress using traditional methods, once they'd started regularly massaging a 10% concentration of Frankincense Carteri CO2 in Kukui oil on location, that they began to make healing progress -- so much so that their oncologies could not believe the Frankincense had the possibility to affect their illness in this manner. Yet the number of studies continues to accumulate. One of the wonderful hallmarks of the use of the oil is that healthy cells are left unaffected at the concentration used, while aptoptosis occurs in malignant cells.

Rosewood Tree
• The Anti-Skin-Cancer Effect of Rosewood: MANY oils are now being reported to have anti-cancer effects, either by preventing cancers from forming, or leading to "natural" cell death called apoptosis. Rosewood essential oil was tested on various skin cancer cells and pre-cancerous cells with interesting results. A couple of reads through, and you can see that rosewood essential oil was cytotoxic (essentially "deadly") to cancerous and pre-cancerous cells, while having little effect on healthy cells. Note specifically the conclusion: "The identification of selective induction of apoptosis in pre cancerous and cancerous skin cells by REO (Rosewood) highlights the potential anticancer activity of this essential oil."

• Using Essential Oils for Healing Skin Without Scars, Reducing Old Scars, and Smoothing Stretch Marks:Oils have been found particularly useful for regenerating skin that has suffered from accidents or surgery, or has their remaining signs in the form of keloid, acne, or other scars. Certain essential oil blends can speed healing time, reduce or eliminate scars from recent wounds and even greatly diminish the appearance of old ones.
