CONFUSED? YOU SHOULD BE

I started working and manufacturing aromatherapy-based products for health and wellbeing back in 1987! In those days, it was relatively easy to identify competition (there were so few). Today it is different and you would be forgiven for being confused about all the different versions of what appear to be similar products.

Some marketing strategies seek to confuse you by using strange scientific terms (some even do not exist, they make them up).
Some just deliberately lie to you
Some bend the truth
Some (it appears) are just ignorant.
Some make false and misleading medical claims (against medical laws)
