Policy on Quotations from References:

Logical portions of the references are quoted in the above paragraphs. The symbol "e;...."e; means intervening sentences have been omitted in an attempt at brevity. We have tried to provide accurate quotes. However, we cannot verify the accuracy or effectiveness of any medical claim made in these references. Please consult a physician about the accuracy of any medical claim quoted from these references before using our product. To our knowledge, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has not evaluated or approved any medical claim cited in these references. Thank you.

Note to Our Customers: If you are aware of a relevant reference concerning the Essential Oils we are using, please bring it to our attention.  We will try to review it and may thereafter quote it on our website. It is very difficult to raise the substantial funding necessary to perform long-term, double-blind, scientific tests on the effectiveness of inhaled vapors from the distilled essential oils. Until those double-blind tests are completed, we wish to bring any relevant references to the attention of our customers. Thank you.
