Aromatherapy to go - that's the basic idea behind our natural inhalers.

Scents are the fastest way to trigger our brain. Thanks to the «direct
connection» between nose and brain, scents are processed within
milliseconds. And they have the ability to trigger feelings and
emotions: a whiff of roses takes us back to the family garden or the
smell of pine needles reminds us of a camping trip many years ago.

Scents consist of hundreds of different molecules. They act via the limbic
system of the brain which is responsible for memory, homeostasis, mood
and emotions. Depending on their exact composition, scents can influence
mind and body in specific ways.

There is no quicker way to the
brain than through our sense of smell. A direct connection between the
nose and the brain ensures that odours are processed within
milliseconds. In contrast, active substances that are swallowed or
absorbed through the skin must first enter the bloodstream which takes
much longer for them to take effect.

That's what makes scents so
powerful. And that's why we make sure that our scents come from 100%
certified organic, natural essential oils.

With the Aromastick inhaler, the scent molecules reach the nose directly and
without loss. Their influence on the body is thus three times more
effective than conventional aromatherapy (Schneider 2016).
Aromastick inhalers are now used by professional athletes, clinics and
in hospitals across the globe.

Three things control the effectiveness of scents:

  1. amount of odour molecules
    that reach the nose: the higher the concentration of odour molecules,
    the greater the number and type of receptors that are stimulated.
  2. exposure time: the longer the exposure to a scent, the weaker the effect due to habituation.
  3. the sniff:
    sniffing transports scent molecules to olfactory receptors and,
    together with airflow-driven mechanical signals, enhances odour
    perception.

The Aromastick is exceptional because it addresses these three essential factors for scents to be effective.

The patented technology of our Aromastick inhaler, developed in
Switzerland, has several advantages over conventional nasal inhalers.

  1. the
    centrally held filter inside the tube guarantees perfect airflow around
    it for maximum scent uptake with every sniff you take.
  2. the
    suspended filter prevents the oils from coming into contact with the
    tube. This prevents the diffusion of the oils into the plastic and
    ensures their quality with every sniff.
  3. the patented technology enables contamination-free filling under vacuum.

We have an obligation to know what our products do. That's why we do
research.The specially developed blends are subjected to safety and
efficacy studies and we published the results. People who use
Aromastick inhalers can be confident that the products deliver what they
promise.
