Q2: Where can I buy these essential oils?
We recommend purchasing only certified organic oils to easily ensure purity, quality, and sustainability of oils. Certified organic oils will be 100% pure and unadulterated. You can purchase oils via our Founder’s website as an independent representative for the Miessence brand of essential oils (since 2008). Please visit our page here linking to purchase pages for oils on that external website.

Q3: What is aromatherapy and why does it work?
Our current favorite overall summary of this answer comes from a book by Charla Devereux. She says “The olfactory function allows a direct connection to the brain. Sensory cells in the mucous membrane line the nasal cavity and are stimulated by the presence of chemical particles dissolved in the mucus. Fibres of the olfactory nerve run upward from smell receptors in the nasal mucosa high in the roof of the nose, through minute holes in the skull where they enter the olfactory bulb of the brian. The signals are carried to the rhinencephalon (“part of the limbic system of the brain…”). What is perceived in the brain as an odor is, in fact, the chemical particles. We can register as many as ten thousand different fragrances, in contrast to our sense of taste which can register only four types of taste. ….As the limbic system, a center for emotions, is connected to the hypothalamus, which controls the whole hormonal system through the pituitary gland, it is logical that smells should produce many different responses including anger, comfort, anxiety, sensuality, and even fear.”
