The Ananda Apothecary Aromatherapy has gotten a bad rap, hence our push to make the term Aroma-therapeutics more popular. Essential oils are real medicine on many levels, and even their aromas should be respected for what they can do. In one study, aromatic use of Balsam poplar (a tree needle essential oil) increased the efficacy of a conve...ntional drug by 4 times (yes, 400%!). We've published this in a post on the current research using essential oils as cancer therapeutics...

The Ananda Apothecary People ask us all the time about making their own perfumes. Actually, it's really challenging? Imaging painting a picture, and how easy it is to mix a bunch of colors and make 'mud'. Aromas are like this. BUT! There's some really great, straight-out-of-the-bottle natural perfumes. Amber is out of this world, for both m...en and women. Our staff also loves Indian and Vanuatu Sandalwoods, and Rose Otto (folks get stopped randomly on the street wearing this one - 'what are you wearing?')

Amber Oil - This extract is made from fine organic Amber resins, with small amounts of other essential oil to bring out the Amber's warm and earthy aroma. It can be worn as a natural perfume or used to enhance your meditiative experience.
