ABOUT US

I'm Jacinta Meyers, founder of Essential Essence Aromatherapy Oils, a passionate research scientist who has spent many years developing manufacturing processes to make much needed anti-cancer, anti-viral and antibiotic pharmaceuticals.  Many years ago, when my father was undergoing chemotherapy for his cancer, I found out that he was being treated with some of the drugs that I helped to make. I struggled with the realisation that although they were assisting to treat the cancer, they were also creating some devastating side effects.  Some of these side effects seemed much worse than the cancer alone.  When I saw what these did to my dad I was heartbroken.  I felt helpless that I could not help him feel better and wanted to stop working a scientist.  When I told my dad this he encouraged me to continue making these medicines because they gave people hope.  They provided an opportunity for them to overcome their illness and to experience a healthier future. 

Even though anti-cancer drugs are now more targeted, meaning the side effects are greatly reduced, I decided to make some changes in my life. I changed the focus of my work.  My next job was to assist with the manufacture of medical devices which would be used as diagnostic tool during the pandemic.  I then moved into a different type of manufacturing which involved the production of vitamins, minerals and complementary medicines. These medicines are critical to supporting recovery of patients with different health conditions, and they also help to build resistance to disease and infection.

Whilst working in these other industries I decided to also use my scientific expertise to research and produce my own natural remedies to support health and well-being.  I created my own brand because I wanted to make products which would help others to naturally overcome pain, skin conditions and emotional issues in their lives without having to worry about the deleterious side effects that often accompany the use of many ingredients commonly used in western medicine. 

My family and friends continue to help with the day-to-day operations associated with my business.  Without their instrumental support, great ideas for improvement, and belief in my dreams and abilities, it would not have transformed into what it is today.
