When I first started Escents, all I had available to sell were unscented products including lotions, bath and shower washes, hair products and carrier oils along with many other miscellaneous unscented bases. Escents began with a small storefront, built with a $500 budget, an old handwritten wooden sign and an assortment of natural essential oils. My customers would come in and ask if I could recommend different essential oils for individual problems or ailments they had. Some of their indications included: headaches, problems sleeping, weak immune system, low energy, shingles, hemorrhoids and sore muscles just to name a few! Headache Relief (available in a roll-on or aroma blend format) was one of my most popular blends and continues to be a customer favorite to this day. The recipes available to combat many common ailments are endless!

After a time, I started making the bestselling recipes in bulk so I could charge the customers less and pre-package products to save time. Very similar to making fine wine, if you need to make several bottles, it is much easier and more cost effective to make it in large batches rather than one glass at a time. This also allowed for consistent product quality that our customers have come to expect.

Top 3 Escents Wellness products:

HEADACHE RELIEF

Headaches and migraines are so common, especially in our Canadian climate of changing seasons and atmospheric pressure. I developed a recipe that combines Peppermint, known to stop inflammation and reduce nausea, Lavender, for relaxation and stress related headaches, Chamomile Roman, to help reduce swelling and Lemon, known to bring clarity. This blend is my personal favorite and still is 18 years later. Escents was the first to create this powerful healer that has helped so many people.

SLEEP

An issue that many of us face is sleeplessness. I have had so many customers come into the stores looking for a natural solution to help them sleep better without resorting to over the counter medications. Enter one of our top customer favorites, Sleep. I swear by this blend of Chamomile Roman (calming properties), Lemon (to clear the mind), Lavender (to balance emotions) and Ylang Ylang (to help reach a deeper sleep) to help me get the best quality rest possible. The blend was so popular that we developed it into two other formats; Sleep Roll-on and Sleep Aroma Mist Spray. Click here to read customer reviews on this product.

ARTHRITIS TREATMENT

One of the most effective ways to experience the benefits of essential oils is absorption through the skin using any number of natural carrier oils or gels. Arthritis and muscle aches are commonplace and many customers we found had already tried tens of other treatments (natural or other) before coming to us. This potent, cooling gel is a powerful combination of Cypress (to improve circulation) and Eucalyptus (feels cool to the skin, warms muscles and has fever reducing properties mostly due to the anti-inflammatory properties) and aids in relieving the most stubborn muscle or arthritic related pain. We have customers swear by it saying that it soothes and warms their muscles and now able to work through pain without traditional medication. I know how many people this product has helped which is why it is the blend I’m most proud of! Click here to read customer reviews on this product.
