The package arrived so fast that I couldn't believe it. The mail man was all grins as my husband ran to greet him and held up my little box with each item wrapped like a treasure. These folks are worth every penny and know how to run a quality business. They really care about their products. I encourage anyone to try them out and see for yourself. You'll be very pleased. "

"I have been purchasing wonderful oils from Ananda Apothecary for many years. The quality of their products has always been first rate. Absolutely delightful fragrances for all sorts of purposes that you really must try. I am so thankful to have found them. Their prices have remained unusually stable and extremely reasonable in today's marketplace. I used to call them with my order but their website is sooooo very easy to use. This is the first time I used the website and I'm delighted. Even an old bunny like me could follow the directions.

"Ananda Apothecary makes you feel like more than a customer, they make you feel like family. They are kind and professional. I highly recommend them."
~ J.W. Hattiesburg, MS

"This was my second order with Ananda Apothecary and they didn't let me down. I was looking for Rosewood oil and Eric explained why they do not carry it and suggests using an oil from the Ho Wood tree. This oil isn't on the main list of oils they sell, but he bottled some up for me. Again, I was met with helpful customer service, the order was carefully packaged and promptly sent. The level of quality of the oils didn't disappoint either. I will continue to order from Ananda Apothecary."
~ N.M. Sacramento, CA

"There is no need to look any further, they have it all. Essential oils, Flower Essences, Custom blends. Their knowledge is overwhelming. First rate. I rated it 5 out of 5 (Excellent)."
~ R.P. Douglas, AZ

"I ordered a 30 milliliter bottle of patchouli essential oil from Ananda Apothecary as a Christmas present for my wife. I placed the order online less than ten days before Christmas, a very busy time for sellers. Still, it arrived ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. Smells wonderful too! My wife is very pleased with her gift, and has begun making sprays with it, using information she obtained from Ananda's website. I will definitely buy from Ananda Apothecary again because their product is of high quality, and their service was outstanding."
~ D.S. South Boston, VA

"I have made several purchases from Ananda Apothecary and, as usual, things could not have gone better with this one! I LOVE this place!! Great products. Lots of great educational info. on their website. Prices that are actually BETTER than those in brick-and-mortar stores in my area. FAST delivery. Quick, genuine customer service.

This store is BETTER than shopping at any store in my area! Thanks to Ananda Apothecary!"
~ K.S. Romeoville, IL

"It is with great pleasure that I give this review for Ananda Apothecary: the order I placed for 5 essential oils was shipped promptly, they arrived in perfect order, the quality of the oils is excellent, beautiful full aromas! But what was most impressive was the superb customer service I received, which I rate as A++++.

I was in search of a natural remedy... However, it proved next to impossible, living in a small city on Canada, to find a local knowledgeable source for them. When I contacted Ananda Apothecary, Misty answered my numerous questions and e-mails promptly, usually within hours, and generously shared recipes for my skin condition, gave expert advice, went out of her way to help me, knowing full well that I might not purchase from them since it would be easier to search for a Canadian on-line source for essential oils once I knew the recipes for the essential oil blends.....I couldn't have asked for more.

It is obvious when one receives a shipment that Ananda stocks top quality products as the oils are full-bodied, the bottles are labeled with full information, but what is not obvious is their commitment to helping people and to the art and science of aromatherapy...it is simply outstanding. Thank you Ananda, and I look forward to purchasing from you again! "
~ W.C. Ontario, Canada

"After unsuccessfully searching several local shops for a specific essential oil, I resorted to do an internet search. I found Ananda, Inc. had the product in stock, reasonably priced and with realistic postage costs.

While following the easy on-line directions, I made my selection and provided the information required. I soon received an email confirming my purchase. The next day a shipping notice was also sent. Within a couple of days, the item was received, beautifully packaged, in perfect condition and an invoice was included.

I'm thrilled to have found the essential oil I wanted and was able to purchase it with little effort and no gas needed."
~ J.M. Wauwatosa, WI

"Their site is great-very informative. Very easy to order from. After I ordered I received a confirmation email on my order and when to expect it. Within 3-4 I received my order. Everything was there and the products are wonderful. The oils are a very good grade. I plan to order from them again soon."
~ K.M. Syracuse, NY

"Wow! They are the best. Good choice best price and fast response. Definitely recommended!"
~ D.O. Velenje, Slovenia

"First, Ananda Apothecary's website provided ease in selection of the multitude of varieties of essential oils, as well as grades (the purity) of available essential oils. I liked the fact that they had samples to purchase and educational information easily attainable on one view.

Second, the prices were affordable and fair.

Third, I received the products in good time and condition. They were carefully wrapped and well-protected in leak-proof containers.

Fourth, one product was unavailable, because they wanted to protect the scarcity of its trees and its ecological environment and welfare. They, in turn, substituted it with two similar essential oils with a personal note, its reasons, and purpose.

I was surprisingly well pleased with their handling of the products and care for customer satisfaction, AND they exhibited to me a genuine feeling of excellent business ethics and values."
~ L.C. Pearl City, HI

"Hello, I just wanted to let you know I just received my oils I ordered. Wow, they are great and they got here pronto. I had never ordered before and called Friday and got them today which is Monday. Your oil prices are wonderful but most of all they are 100%. You can tell good ones from not so good. Thank you! I have been looking all over the place for excellent oils at great prices. Just wanted you to know. I will be informing my friends where to order as I have several who love and use oils."

"I am extremely impressed w/ Ananda Apothecary and rate them 100% and best of all essential oil companies overall (I have solid experience and rather long-term experience w/ 10 companies, only 4 w/ whom I've been truly pleased). Since I found Ananda, I've raised the bar. Please take the time to read on...

I've been practitioner of aromatherapy for about a decade, buying from boutiques & health stores, and more recently ordering online, essential oils and related products (candles - I try to stick to veg or soy - carrier oils, etc.). I try to purchase only organic products, and have been very happy to see an increase in organic oil distribution. Ananda has a very complete list of oils and many (perhaps most) of them are organic or wild... Many commodities purchased from communities/farmers/locations lack funding for the certification (not to mention the pesticides!!) required to be certified organic, so I bet more of Anandas products are organic than those they can list.

Ananda's Oils are extremely well packaged, from the bottles to the boxes. All the info, location of growth, method of extraction, latin and common name, precautions, and much more are PERMANTLY and beautifully labeled on the bottle. Others don't include all of the info, and some have rubbed off w/in days of purchase. Ananda's bottles are all dark cobalt, and all have a dropper-top to avoid spillage/over-pour, compared to some that distribute oils in clear bottles and/or have nothing to control the flow. I've lost a significant amount of oil before b/c some bottles would have a dropper-top, while others from the same company did not... Even when I know there's not one, I have to get a dropper, and that becomes even more problematic when mixing oils.

Ananda offers sample sizes of all their oils for $2-$3, even the absolutes, and the samples are large enough to use. I have paid a ridiculous amount for little bottles that are the size of their samples.

Many of Ananda's oils are CO2 extracted, so one is getting the most of the oil, the most accurate scent, increased environmental friendliness, etc. The quality of Ananda's oils is exceptional. Sometimes I've ordered oils (paid much more too), and they have been very thin, very weak, & inconsistent w/ the quality I know is available.

Ananda's service is EXCEPTIONAL... I ordered for the first time on a Sat, and I received my box on Monday, beautifully organized and packaged, and even w/ a gift ... to get it that quickly was such a pleasant surprise)... They called me and emailed me, and they replaced the one candle they were out of w/ a larger and more expensive candle at no extra cost to me. When I spoke w/ them they were super friendly, personal and loving, as we all can and ought to be.

This is the longest rating I've ever written, and I hope others have taken the time to read it (and if so, thanks!)... Way to go, Ananda!! (As a yoga practitioner, the name is very special too!!)"
~ H.D., Houston, TX

"Simply a wonderful experience. will do future business with them again. They won a loyal customer that will mention them to everyone."
