THE REVIVED ANANDA APOTHECARY™

This is the return of The Ananda Apothecary™.
Rooted in history. Built for the future.
Revived for those who recognize the difference.

Founded in 2004 by Eric R. Cech, The Ananda Apothecary™ became known worldwide for its uncompromising essential oil quality, clinical aromatherapy research, and transparent sourcing long before these standards were common. Eric’s curiosity, scientific rigor, and relentless commitment to purity shaped a generation of practitioners and everyday users alike.

After his passing, the apothecary’s work continued quietly under Synergy Essentials. Yet the heart of Ananda—the pursuit of plant intelligence, precision, and integrity—never disappeared.

Today, Ananda returns in its original name and spirit carried by the wings of Anita Felice & Anthony Be.
Not as a recreation of the past, but as a continuation of its legacy.

We remain committed to:

 - Exceptional essential oils and artisan distillers
 - Scientific clarity and education
 - Clinical-level aromatherapy made accessible
 - Honoring Eric's research and lifelong work
 - Carrying the lineage forward with accuracy and care

This revival is not nostalgia.
It is stewardship.

The Ananda Apothecary™ remains a place where quality is exact, information is trustworthy, and nature’s intelligence is treated with respect—not marketing. The legacy lives on, and so do the standards.

Welcome back!
