Mentioned in the Bible over 1,000 times and among the treasure robbed from the tombs of Pharaoh's, essential oils have long been part of our history- Yet was forgotten in the modern world.
After a serious logging incident that left him paralyzed in 1973- he defied medical prognosis and healed himself. Once a logger, Gary dived deep into the understanding of nature around us and how it can heal. In the 80's he stumbled upon the last remaining modern distillery located in France. There for 3 months he slept in the fields, by the distillery and gained the trust of the family, soaking in all the knowledge.
With his love for Oils growing, Gary searched out more of the history, more of an understanding of these precious oils.
His experiences were amazing and the knowledge he brought home convinced him even more that there was so much that had been lost to the modern world.
In addition, he spent over 30 years farming aromatic plants, learning distillation and analytical evaluation, and traveling to the far corners of the earth in his study of essential oils. He designed and built eight large distillation facilities around the world, with others in the planning stages. No other company has the history of research and development of essential oils in the areas of production, usage, research, and education as D.
