About Us
Our Philosophy
We believe plant life plays a vital natural & holistic role in maintaining and regaining our state of wellness. When properly balanced, fed, and supported, our bodies are specialized at maintaining health equilibrium. Although there is no external medicine or technique as qualified as our own body systems at providing healing, those systems can be supported, enhanced, and when needed, healed by the plant world. Traditional Western medicine has its place and is very appropriate to use at times, but we have found that essential oils and herbs have the power to heal most of the day-to-day health challenges our bodies face. Therefore, we believe it is vital to have a ready supply of healing oils with you at all times–and that is why we have chosen to focus on how to make that a reality for most people.
Our Company
We are a family-owned boutique company that focuses on small-batch processing. We believe in transparency–that’s why we provide online batch specific GC/MS reports and country of origin for all of our essential oils. We feel this is very important for you as a consumer because the essential oil industry is rife with companies trying to pass off lower quality or altered essential oils (either things added to, or taken away from) as pure and high quality. We deliver essential oils to you the way the plants produced them.
And a note about pricing. You’ll find our pricing competitive, but not the cheapest on the market. Why? Because pure, high quality, unadulterated essential oils are pricey. It is just a fact that in order to harness a significant enough quantity of a plants volatile oils, a tremendous amount of plant material is needed. For example, 2500 pounds of rose flowers produces about a pound of rose oil! Additionally, optimum growing and distilling conditions are vital to harness essential oils that are actually therapeutic in nature. The old adage definitely applies to essential oil prices. . . if it seems to good to be true, it usually is.
Why Essential Oils?
Growing up, my mother had a massage therapy business in our house. I was familiar with essential oils just because she had them around in her massage practice, and they made our house smell great. But, I didn’t understand their potential for therapeutic use. When we came across them after we got married, to be honest, we were skeptics when we first heard about their therapeutic powers. Weren’t these just for smelling good?! But, we found ourselves with no health insurance and small kids, and needed an affordable solution to deal with the daily health challenges our family faced. Plus, we were wanting more influence over our kids health and didn’t want to feel so powerless when health situations arose. We had a belief that the body had great power to heal itself, but hadn’t figured out a way to tap into that.
So when we came across herbs and essential oils, we decided to try them on an experimental basis. What we discovered is that essential oils and herbs could indeed help us have more control over our family’s health and not be so tossed about with the winds of seasonal sicknesses! During this time we were able to relieve our son’s poison ivy breakout; when the stomach flu & colds were making their regular rounds through the school, we were able to (for the most part) keep our kids healthy and strong. And if they did start to come down with something, we were able to nip it in the bud. I had suffered for years with awful seasonal allergies & hayfever. Most of the spring, I wanted to itch my eyes out of their sockets. But with our new-found plant-based helpers, I was able to in some cases prevent them entirely from flaring up; and when they did overtake my system, I now had a quick remedy to bring relief and stop the allergic reaction in its tracts! We found them indispensable for the burns, numerous headaches, and the sore muscles after sports that inevitably come into an active family’s life. And when we needed a mood pick-me-up, they were there for that too! Although essential oils and herbs are not a panacea for every health issue, we have found that they have lightened our load as parents tremendously! To be able to have ready-in-hand a potent force to help us deal with our family’s problems in the moment they need them has been an empowering thing!
Now many years later, we continue to love and use oils. However, we saw a need to provide top quality essential oils in a way that any budget can afford, and in a way that it was convenient to have the oils with you at all times. We were blessed through hard work of finding our amazing distillers, which provide essential oils that are among the finest oils on the planet. And we back up that claim by being completely transparent so you don’t have to take our word for it. And we now have also formalized our experiential knowledge of essential oils by pursuing our certified Aromatherapist and clinical herbalist certifications (graduation pending) so we can provide our customers with the most reliable, scientific, up-to-date research and guidance.
We invite you to give us a chance and sample our oils and experience for yourself their power to bring wellness to your life!
