The Remembered Remedy™

Essential oils done properly. That’s what this is.

For twenty years, The Ananda Apothecary™ was known for accuracy, transparent education, and practitioner-level science. I’m Anita Felice, Eric Cêch’s widow and the person restoring his archives after the apothecary closed.

What you’ll find here:

• Eric’s original research (chemistry, formulations, distillation insights)

• Essential oil profiles that actually explain how things work

• Safety data you can trust

• Applications grounded in real evidence

• No trend language, no oversimplification, no marketing

Who this is for:

• Practitioners who need reliable reference material

• Students learning aromatherapy properly

• Home users who want to understand what they’re using

• Anyone tired of generic, dumbed-down content

Eric built Ananda on a simple principle: accurate information, clearly explained, honestly delivered. That’s what this space continues.

For those asking about the apothecary: After careful rebuilding, the store reopens Spring 2026 at anandaapothecary.com. Small batch. Limited offerings. Built to the standards Eric held.

If you want to learn how essential oils actually work—not just what’s trending—you’re in the right place.
