Research
The Research
All of our products are blended, quality checked, packaged in glass and shipped directly from Wisconsin, USA.
Our Essential Oils and Diffusing Mediums come directly from the organic farms the plants are grown and produced, or are bought from the vendors the farms use, and are further tested for purity.
Included below you will find a list of Scientific Studies that form the foundation of our Workplace and Business formulas. There are numerus studies provided for your reading pleasure. All of our studies are non-biased, we will never pay to produce skewed results. We base everything on a true scientific process from accredited scientists or accredited educational organizations that have no motive to produce results beyond the true outcomes of the study.
PLEASE READ
Please do not underestimate the power of essential oils! Regardless of the numerous research studies, the tests for safety, and our specifically formulated blends based off of this information. We all have unique DNA! Ultimately, your body’s response to ANY form of stimuli can be different from another person, even someone that is related to you. The appreciation of the essential oil profile may not be the same for you as it for someone else. On a more serious note, if the blend contains something you are allergic to, do not use it. Just like peanuts may not be considered dangerous or toxic, to a person that has an allergy it will absolutely cause significant harm to that person. As an INFJ personality type, I strive to make a positive impact in peoples lives, and have created these formulas to benefit you. But, please be true to your own experience. Your safety is of the upmost importance!
