the science of breath

Measured-dose aromatherapy demands scientific precision and pure ingredients. Powered by leading-edge research, and in collaboration with organic and natural producers, processors and farmers from across the globe, we developed Daily Dose Inhalables to propagate the benefits of scent-based phytotherapy, for benefits across the central nervous system and immune systems, and for anti-anxiety (anxiolytic), antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. (*1) (*2)

Handcrafted, and human first.

Daily Dose Inhalables is driven by the pursuit of a non-toxic life and starts with research into the effects and benefits of inhalable essential oils; with meeting farmers and sourcing organics, and pure essential oils that have been chemotyped and validated through gas chromatograph mass spectrometer; with understanding stabilization and scale up for absorption via inhalation; and with the simplicity of natural vessels for the inhalables.

Measured dose aromatherapy

01

Our process starts with essential oil and therapeutic clinical trials and randomized controlled trials, the extraction of essential oils to chemotype quality validated via gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, the verification of organic constituents, melt-points and scent-release, with phytotherapy research, stabilization testing and hot- and cold-throw validation.

Inhalation validation

02

The fastest way in which an essential oil can enter the body and human systems is through inhalation via the nose. (*I.1) Inhalation is not only fast, but also effective, shown to induce central nervous system response in just 4 seconds, entering olfactory pathways that regulate emotion, visceral activity and advanced brain functions including alertness, memory, relaxation and feelings of contentment. (I.2)

When inhaled, scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerve and trigger olfactory transmission and the Orexin neuronal system in the hypothalamus and particularly impact the amygdala emotional center of the brain. (I.3)

Chemotyped essential oils

03

Essential oils are renowned and proved for their potential health benefits due concentrated plant extracts, but not all essential oils are equal. Natural elements and energies like sunlight, water, soil, climatic conditions and origin impact the chemical composition of essential oils. (*C.1)

Our oil bank consists of chemotyped essential oils, which determine the therapeutic effects. Formulation using chemotyped oils permits high potency, high dosing and ensured effectiveness.

Research-derived dosage

04

Each product we design and manufacture takes into account the diffusion mechanism for effortless inhalation. In formulation and manufacture, cold diffusion and low temperature diffusion are paramount to preserving the essential oil potency, while also promoting the release of the volatile molecules into the air for maximum efficacy.

Dose test research on total inhaled essential oil intake and rate of intake demonstrate clear effects on biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, and show therapeutic benefit on the regulation of anxiety and depression, and improved affect (*R1).

05 FURTHER STUDY

In studies of affective disorders and mood maladies, inhalation-based aromatherapy is shown to not cause side-effects, which is vastly different from commonly-used psychotropic drugs, opening a burgeoning field of further study into efficacious and human-centered treatment (*F.1)
