AromaStick

AromaStick is a Swiss-based manufacturer of aromatherapy nasal inhalers filled with 100% organic essential oils and absolutely nothing else. We developed the AromaStick because we wanted to offer people an easy-to-use, effective and all natural way of getting over the humps that we face in the day, whether it be a boost of energy or a moment of relaxation. Thought has gone into every detail of the production from the custom built filling machine and the recently patented AromaStick inhaler design (EP2868314), through to the quality of the ingredients and the efficacy of our essential oil blends.

The AromaStick has been designed to take advantage of our olfactory system and it's direct link to the brain. Each sniff of an AromaStick delivers scents directly to the nose, without loss of quality or quantity and with minimal exposure time to reduce habituation effects. In this manner, we are able to potentiate the effects of the aromas in order to influence mind and body. In fact, AromaSticks are so effective, that they influence the body 300% more effectively than scents released into the room.

Each AromaStick natural inhaler is rigourusly tested using randomised, double blind, and placebo-controlled methods where possible, to verify the claims we make. Our studies and our approach have been accepted by the wider scientific community and resulted in numerous peer reviewed academic publications. The AromaSticks have since even been introduced successfuly in clinical settings as an accompaniment to existing treatments.
