Our most recent addition has been Sacred Frankincense – Boswellia Sacra, from Oman. This is a very high grade, hydrodistilled essential oil, and the most rare of the three types of Frankincese oil we carry.

Hi Kathy — we do have a few blends specifically formulated to match YL’s blends for our customers whom would like to use those. Thieves is our PuriFy, Valor is our Virya, Peace and Calming is our Shanti, Pan Away is our Super Soother, Brain Power is our Sattva, Citrus Fresh is our Tangy Citrus, Juva-Flex is our ReJuvinate, Purification is our Pure Aire.
If there’s one we don’t have, that you’d really like to see, let us know and we’ll do what we can to put it on the site!
All the Best ~ Eric
I am so intrigued with your oils. I am familiar with Young Living, but they are so expensive and not personal. I am curious if you have an oil like YL “Gentle Baby”. Also, what would you recommend for migranes? I also am interested in any oils that could benefit someone with MS or seizure medication.
Thank you so much.
Rita Bacher
Rita, I use coriander in a blend I sell for headaches and migraines. As everyone’s migraines can be so different, it may or may not work for you. Mine is in a blend also containing lavandin, roman & german chamomile and valerian (along with organic menthol). Hope that helps you in your own blending!
Thank you so much. I will try this.
hi , i am really impressed with the detailed description of each oil. I would like to place an order and pay with my credit card from India and request the parcel to be delivered to my friend in San Franscisco and he will carry the parcel to India , with him by 1st of November.
Please let me know if this is okay with you , so i can place my order with you as soon as possible.
Thanks

I love your company! The products, the way you take care of your customers (me) The obvious care you give to your products and how you ship them and your pricing. The knowledge base of essential oils. Just wonderful doing business with you all. Thank you. I’m wondering if its possible to blend up a similar formula to Young Living ~ Raven? Its really the only one I’d like to try and reproduce.
I wouldn’t ask and then I saw a comment from someone and your response ~ so ~ I’m giving it a shot.
Thank you.
Michele Chelenza
Hi Michelle — This is our ‘Breathe Deep‘ Blend, on the essential oil blends page. It’s very popular…let us know if we can help you further!
Just wondering if you ever have oils discounted? or close outs?
thanks.
Hi Carol,
You’ll see a link to “Specials and New Products” at the tops of every page. We don’t keep oils in stock long enough to have “close outs”, as we keep “this season’s” oils in stock where appropriate, and oils that age well actually increase in value as they get older…let us know if we can help you further!
Just had to say I was surprised to see Miron glass on here. I ran across their website one night/early morning while looking for bottles for my creations. So happy to see a stateside company carry their product…they are amazing. Will be putting in an order soon.
Do you have an equvilant of Young Living Aroma Siez blend found in their
Raindrop pack and Aroma Life whihc is good for cardiac problems
thankyou I am putting my first order together
I’m very new to all of this. My limited experience has impressed me enough to know I want to purchase more oils. I’m intrigued by a few of the YL blends but after researching the products and company, I’m afraid to go down that road… thats how I stumbled onto your site. Do you have anything similar to the R.C. essential oil?
Thank you!
I did a huge search 2 years ago to find violet spectrum storage bottles and went to a lot of effort ordering these bottles from Switzerland. They are absolutely spectaculor and worth the cost. Kudos – Ananda for making them available to us here in USA!!!
I have been looking for a place to buy Essential Oils for some time. I was using YL. But did not want to continue down the ‘sales’ road. My husband has severer arthritis. He can’t find a medication that will help the pain and still allow him funtion. After speaking with your staff I ordered Athlete Magic. I can’t say enough good. The belend diminishes the pain in a few minutes and keeps him nearly pain free for several hours. I did not know I could get free samples or free shipping on my first order because I placed my order by phone and the staff person didn’t tell me. But I am extreamly happy with his recommendation. Keep well, Sonja
I am a little surprised at the number of inquiries about YL replications at Ananda. I have been mixing my own “Valor” blend for years. The oils included in YL’s blends are listed on their website (or used to be), and knowing how to mix them (see Connie and Alan Higley’s book, Reference Guide for Essential Oils, which also lists ingredients for YL’s oil blends) makes it relatively simple to come up with your own blend. I was even able to tweak my Valor knockoff to suit my personal tastes (heavier on the rosewood)!
do you have any oil for hair that can make hair shiney? my hair is very long and dry.
I have purchased a Kangen water machine and do laundry, dishes, scrub my floors, etc. with this water. It is great for cleaning but has no odor. They suggested I add essential oils to the water to make my house, sheets, etc. smell good. What would you suggest I use for this? I cannot find essential oils at any local stores.
Hi Connie,
You can add 4 drops for every 8 ounces (cup) of water of essential oils like Lemon, Eucalyptus, Lemon Tea Tree, Lavender, etc. There is no ‘hard and fast’ rule about the number of drops – you can choose the oil, and make the concentration to your liking. They all have some amount of antibacterial qualities. Simply shake or stir well before each use, as the water and essential oils will naturally separate (unless you also at ‘Tween’, which emulsifies the oil in water – though for your application, I wouldn’t recommend it…not necessary!)
Do you have a product similar to YL Deep Relief? I love your oils. I received my first order about a month ago, and I am getting ready to place another one. So excited to have heard about you.
Do you have versions of YL’s Humility, Transformation, or (especially) White Angelica?
Thank you!
Hi – Sorry for the very delayed response. We do know that YL is very popular, though we encourage our customers to consider blending for themselves…the savings is rather dramatic. I do know that these blends contain MANY oils in each formula, though you’d be surprised how even 3 or 4 oils nicely balanced can be just as wonderful. Blending yourself is a bit of a challenge at first…we do it by counting drops of each oil, then letting the blend sit for a while, then adjusting…etc. This way one can take the next step and really formulate more personal recipes. Oh, and just a little tip, if you ever did want to blend your own, inhaling from a small bag of freshly ground coffee beans between smelling your blends ‘cleanses’ the olfactory sense. Cheers!
This is about my 7th time visiting your site, in the last few days. I am so intrigued with all of the oils you carry and the information you have. I’ve been looking for reasonably priced oils along with a website that shares the oils benefits. You also carry organics! I’m impressed, and now a life long customer. I wanted to thank you for the dedication you all have given to bring us this site. You are helping so many people…I hope you understand this!! :-)
Oh, I placed an order the other day and its already been shipped! Another reason to brag about you guys! Get ready for a buncha orders! I’m telling everyone I know! :-) Thank you, Again! :-*
Do you have an oil similar to Joy from YL?
I’m going to be ordering some oils to try and would like to be able to compare to what I’m familiar with. Although it sounds like I will be pleased!
Hi Sheryl,
We don’t at this time have a comparable blend…I’d encourage you to blend it, but see it’s rather complex :) Honestly, blending 10 oils together is VERY rare, as some of tfhe constituents get so diluted as to not really have much of an effect on the end product. Not to say it’s not a wonder aroma! Though you might consider checking out the ingredient list, and sampling the 3 oils that sound most akin to what you’d like the blend to do for you personally. I do hope this helps!
Love Ananda so much! I order regularly to create products with the oils, and for personal use, too. Would love Ananda to have have an affiliate program, so I could place a banner on my websites!
Just a thought-b/c Ananda is my go to source for oils and information. Thanks for the great oils and essences!
looking for something equivalent to “Peace and Calm” I’ve seen elsewhere. It’s supposed to work on agitated husbands and black labs with ADHD. The oils I’ve seen so far are costly. Is there a more affordable blend that works?
Hi Iin,
Yes, our version of Peace and Calming is called ‘Shanti’. The blend with that trademarked name (Peace and Calming) is costly solely due to its producer’s MLM financial structure.
Let us know if we can help you further.
Thanks!
I can’t find the new acne blend to place an order is it available yet. does it come as a 30ml or 12ml
Also do you have an equivilant to Aroma Seiz from YL It has
basil, marjoram, lavender, peppermint, cypress
I received my 1st order recently and love my oils, especially excited about Ravensara and experimenting with it….I was wondering if you have any blends comparable to DoTerra’s “On Guard” and “Digestyn”?
Hi Diane,
Thanks for your inquiry. We don’t have something similar to Digestn, but Super Immune is proprietary formula similar in properties to On Guard ~ We’ve had a customer recently relay that they believe the Super Immune more effective – see more here: http://www.anandaapothecary.com/essential-oil-blends.html.
Not sure about your desired effect of the Digestyn ~ stomach/intestinal cramps are quickly and profoundly relieved by massaging a sprinkling of Roman Chamomile mixed in your palm with any carrier oil and massaged on the abdomen.
Hope this helps!
thank you so much for your quick response! I LOVE your site filled with helpful information!
Hi Charlotte – sorry for the delayed response. While I’d love to be able suggest something from our store, I’d HIGHLY recommend seeing a qualified Naturopathic Doctor in your area. This person will take your daughter’s entire health & psychology into consideration, and suggest natural treatments and lifestyle changes that may truly address the root of the condition. It won’t do any harm to do concurrently, if she’s already begun another course of therapy.
Hope this helps.
I love your products. I use them for a ton of various things. I have other brands that I had before I found you. Yours work just as good as the “expensive” brands. Thank you for your variety in containers too! Very helpful. Kim
Hi Sharina,
Thanks for your inquiry…No, no kits yet…a VERY worthwhile product, we’ve just been so busy we haven’t had the time…please keep watching…
Cheers and Thanks,
Eric
Beautiful oils. Thank you so much. I am very pleased with the quality. So delighted with the Litsea “May Chang”. Frankincense (Boswellia Sacra) is amazing on tender joints. Thanks for the additional samples. What a fabulous business. Looking forward to indulging more in your oils in the future! There may not be a true “method to the madness” of treating diseases with oils, but it sure give us hope! Allergies, intensity, reactions, all must be assessed prior to utilizing them for medicinal purposes. But overall the future is very bright for our plant based health insurance!, Essential OILS! Go Ananda!
We have fleas horriblely. I have used Yl oils as what is mentioned but they are not leaving our little dog alone. I have sprayed a mixture of different oils on his bedding and on him and they seemed to like the oils and even get bigger. Now what is that about? Honestly I feel these fleas dijest these oils and grow. I hate the thought of spraying harmful chemicals on him and his bed. Please help.
Hi Terry,
A scientific study was just released indicating Geranium as an effective repellent for tics. I can’t say for sure it will work for fleas, but there seems no reason it shouldn’t. The oil researched was Geranium: make a 3% concentration spray using just the South African geranium essential oil in water, with ‘tween’ as an emulisfyer. Find tween and pipettes on our ‘Bottles and Pipettes’ page. Add 1ml geranium essential oil to each ounce of water, or 8ml essential oil to 8 ounces of water in a spray bottle. Add an equal amount of tween – the tween smells a little off at first, but will mellow out after a day. Shake vigorously, and spray and brush on.
I do hope this works for you!
I want to know roughly how many drops are there in your 12 ml bottle essential oils?
Hi ~ there’s an average of 35 drops per milliliter of essential oil. It varies significantly – this page can be hugely helpful in making accurate measurements, as it shows our measurements using our 3ml measuring pipettes for each oil. 1ml in the plastic pipettes was also compared to a measuring glass eye dropper.
Drops Per Milliliter of Essential Oils
This works out to 420 drops in a 12ml bottle.
Hope this helps!
