• The Ananda Apothecary was formed by Tarah Michelle, ND, M.Ir., MH (Naturopathic Doctor, Master Iridologist and Master Herbologist), and Eco-Scientist Eric Cech, to provide an affordable source for the world's finest therapeutic grade essential oils. Ananda has always focused on the importance of using authentic, pure, therapeutic grade oils for medicinal aromatherapy practices.
  
  
• The Ananda Apothecary maintains strict quality control measures to ensure our essential oils 100% pure, and that that each individual variety is among the finest distillation available, anywhere. These methods include GCMS analysis, optical rotation testing, organoleptic analysis, and more.
  
  

• In addition to certified organics, many of our oils are distilled from wildcrafted plants. In many cases, the very pinnacle of therapeutic activity is found in oils distilled from plants ethically harvested from nature, rather than from farmed sources. While not only being free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, these plants receive crucial nurturing unmatched by even the most careful, holistic farming methods. We offer oils from wildcrafted sources such as Frankincense, Lavender, Cedarwood, Oregano, Rosemary and many more.
  
  
• Ananda has developed relationships with artisan distillers around the world. These craftsmen specialize in producing the finest, medicinal-grade oils, using carefully controlled distillation methods. We also offer a variety of CO2-distilled oils, produced at significantly lower temperatures than steam distillation. This technique can offer an even higher therapeutic value of certain oils (though not all ~ that's why some oils are available as CO2's, and others via the classic steam distillation technique). Frankincense, for example, has vastly improved therapeutic qualities when distilled via the "supercritical CO2" method.
  
  
• Our pricing is always wholesale, for every customer. There is no need to sign up or become a member of anything. We do not have seperate wholesale and retail "tiers", which would end up increasing the cost of oils for everyone. We also maintain a strong customer service ethic, ensuring your questions and concerns are promptly responded to by phone or email. We offer an absolutely no-hassle return policy on all our products (see Order Info).
  
  
• Our oils are available in a wide range of sizes, from 2 milliliters (1/15th of an ounce) all the way to 1kilogram (approximately 34 ounces) in some cases. You'll save more by buying larger sizes in the oils you use the most.
  
  

• We offer a wide variety of therapeutic blends, and are always adding more. By investigting the ingredient lists,you'll find blends you may already be familiar with. If you'd like something you don't see on our site, please email us you're request. We listen to our customer's requests, and will add the blends you desire to our collection.
  
  
• We also offer a complete collection of aromatherapy supplies such as carrier oils, diffusers, bottles and measuring pipettes. Further, we have the complete lines of North American and English flower essence vibrational remedies, which can be used in concert with essential oils for many purposes.
  
  
• Last but not least, we're commited to the environment, and the people and animals of the planet. We ship using packing material made from 100% biodegradeable and recycled materials, and have partnered with CarbonFund to offset carbon dioxide emissions related to shipping and other operations. We also donate a portion of sales to several non-profit organizations such as Smile Train, Defenders of Wildlife, the Dzi Foundation and others.
