Rare archives of clinical oils & remedies are being revived. We are a genuine mom & pop shop.

See the pinned post & subscribe: anitafelice.substack.com/subscribe There's the me (ma) and the him (pa). We shut down in 2020. :( Our resurrected version (V.2) is opening 12/3/21 as as Synergy Essentials. Here we offer the introduction of alchemy in the creation of the new formulations to suit the multi-dimensional and high-sensory abilities of users. We will still offer the traditional therapeutics to manage the physical well being. We will still source essential oils from expert artisan distillers around the world. We only buy pure, unadulterated, potent stuff.

When the body is processing something the mind hasn't caught up with yet — it often shows up in the gut.

A QUESTION WE WERE ASKED YESTERDAY:
Q: "I have a client who is experiencing a profound mind-gut disruption. Is there a formulation (s) that might be helpful for her?"

Initially thoughts went to a digestive support formula, but then it hit! There is something!

When the body is processing something the mind hasn’t caught up with yet, it often shows up in the digestive system. It’s something we’ve thought about for a long time (observing a family member), even before there was language for it.

The Angelica+™ Threshold Set was developed around what herbalists once called nervous digestion. Not as a claim, but as a pattern we’ve seen repeatedly over time. It’s something we’re seeing more and more — and there’s now a growing body of research around it.

In this circumstance it may be useful to pair it, when needed, with something like Palo Santo — used aromatically — to help the nervous system settle more immediately.

One works deeper. The other shifts the environment.

Both are in the current cabinet.


👂Curious to hear from you.

❓Have you ever experienced something like this where the body seems to process before the mind does?

If this resonates, share it with someone who might need to hear it.

Most people don’t think about what they’re breathing every day.

Planes. Offices. Gyms. Hotels.
Recycled air. Shared surfaces. Closed environments.

This isn’t seasonal. It’s constant.

Those who keep Super Immune™ in their cabinet don’t wait until October. They don’t use it because they’re worried.
They use it because they’re paying attention.

Spring travel is already starting.
Allergy season is already here for many.
Exposure is already happening. That's life.

It isn't about “getting sick.” It’s about what your body is navigating every day without you noticing, or just with the seasons of life.

We keep both Super Immune™ and Purify™ on hand for that reason. Purify™ is in the kitchen, Super Immune™ is in the travel bag.

We share some interesting data about this shift of managing today's environmental load in an article on Substack here:

https://open.substack.com/pub/anitafelice/p/indoor-air-quality-environmental?r=696euo&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

You can browse several publications about essential oils and their benefits as we slowly republish the Ananda archive one story at a time.

I shared my practice with these two formulas in that article, we'd love to hear how you use them. Let us know in the comments below!

A brief Update: Sometimes, having no expectations leaves room for surprises.

We've been watching what people are ordering. The usual suspects are leading the way:
1. Rose Otto.
2 Helichrysum.
3. Ever Youthful
4. Palo Santo

and The aged Patchouli — which has already SOLD OUT! That was a head turner.

Other historic top picks: Athlete Magic. Ever Youthful. Super Immune and Purify are being received well too. Some of these are moving more quickly than we expected.

What's interesting is generally the Super Immune™ and Purify™ pair were traditionally a Winter season staple, but it appears the environmental load of today's modern world, (recycled air, shared surfaces, closed environments) is being felt and we're seeing that shift in real time.

The outlier here is the Angelica+ Threshold set (designed for somatic healing, deep grief, and trauma). Very few remain of this new item and category, so thank you for confirming what we felt was needed.

If you're just finding us — this is the return of The Ananda Apothecary™ after a four-year hiatus. We've been doing this for a long time. Welcome! We notice many of you are new.

We appreciate your comments and conversations here. It helps re-activate this community here and show up on feeds again. Keep the conversations going. We are listening.

Sneak Peak with (1) One Day to To Go! Going for the GOLD!
If you're a fan of Corsican Helichrysum, you will love the one we are offering. This one has the honey notes and it's wonderful.

It's Springtime, and we wake up to the birdsong of les mésanges -- these are the little Blue Tit birds native to the Mediterranean hillsides where we now call home in Occitanie. Did you know that these gold and blue birds with raccoon like patterns around their eyes select Helichrysum to build their nests? Turns out they know what the plant's aromatic does for the health of their little ones yet to come.

We feature Helichrysum in an unlikely way in this article published on Substack.

Tomorrow.

After four quiet years, the Ananda Apothecary shop will open again tomorrow — March 17 at 12pm EST.

Before that happens, we want to say thank you.

Many of you kept writing over the years — emails to a site that wasn’t even active, replies to newsletters (that hadn't been sent in years), comments on Substack when we surfaced, messages asking if the work would ever return, DMs here on FB.

Some of you simply kept sending good thoughts our way.

We heard all of it. Brings me (Anita) to tears. Good ones!

The offering tomorrow is small, and the way we’re doing things has changed. But the standards remain the same, and we’re grateful to begin again with you.

Your encouragement over the years had more impact than you probably realize. It helped carry this work through some very stormy weather.

Thank you for staying with us.

If you're curious how the work continues today, you can read more here: https://www.anandaapothecary.com/pages/about-the-stewards

We feel we are stewarding a legacy that you all are part of, helped build, and have been unwaveringly loyal to throughout.

See you tomorrow.

Did you know that Patchouli essential oil still shows insect-repellent activity in studies against moths, termites, and mosquitoes??

Yes, people either love it or find it repelling as much as the insects do. Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) leaves were often packed with cashmere shawls and other fine fabrics exported from India to Europe. Bundling dried leaves with textiles helped protect valuable goods during long sea voyages. I recently wrote about the rare Patchouli oil we will be offering when doors open at The Ananda Apothecary™ on Tuesday, March 17.

You can read more about the experience I had when I used it as an after bath oil. You can tell me if it was a good or a bad thing.

Our Story

The Ananda Apothecary was founded for one reason: To get the most therapeutic essential oils on the planet to folks at affordable prices. We believe the VERY BEST oils for every application are those that are 100% Pure & Genuine. We do 5 physicochemical tests on each, including GC/MS analysis on every single batch to ensure this. Indeed they are of aromatic superiority.

We have wonderful relationships with Certified Organic distilleries around the world, and stay on the leading edge of the science of healing with essential oils. The Ananda Apothecary has developed a proprietary, certified organic aging process (yes, some oils get better with age!) that makes some of the more exotic oils not only smell better, but have greater therapeutic properties as shown by their GC/MS analysis.

We choose farmers and distillers who choose to keep the integrity of the essential oil from seed to distillation to provide the most healing oils available today. We do not sell ‘retail’ through any store, nor are we an MLM. We sell ‘wholesale’, direct to you. That’s how we get can offer you the World’s Best Essential Oils at the best prices you can afford.
