Our Quality Control
When we create our products, we start by reviewing the GC/MS analysis reports for the chemical components within the oils so we can determine the best oil for the use we have in mind. Once oils are chosen for a blend, we then chart and document all the data and includes therapeutic actions, safety, contraindications, aromatic notes and any other pertinent information. We then get the joy of blending. Finding a beautiful balance of aromatic notes gives it a balanced aroma that is appealing to the senses. It takes time to create each product so we ask that you be patient with our perfection.
Lovingly Yours, Soul Essentials Duo

By comparison, most essential oils contain between 50 and 500 different chemicals. On a cellular scale, amounts of chemicals which seem insignificant can in fact be very significant. Therefore, it is important not to see a 'drop' of essential oil as merely a
'small' amount but as a very powerful substance! (n.d.). Aromatherapy at

Testimonials
From: Hannah and Titus Yoder:
"This blend is fantastic!! I have a baby that was only a week old when she got a bad cold. She slowly got worse over the course of a week. I made this blend put a few drops in a roller bottle and then filled the roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil and I rubbed that under her nose, on her chest and on her feet. With in two days, I started noticing less congestion. In less than a week her cold was gone!! I LOVE it because it is safe for one so young! Thank you!!”

“I have some of your stuff and it's the best smelling product I have ever smelled...”
From: Stephanie Collard-Miller
I sent a trauma/scar blend to Stephanie and her response: “ I have another story to share about that recipe you have me to use on my husband. When I made it for him, I mixed it with a base of comfrey infused grape seed oil (3% dilution), rather than tamanu (I'm out, lol) and mixed in some mashed up comfrey to make it more of a poultice. I refrigerated it and still have a few tablespoons left.
Two days ago my 2 year old daughter pulled a #10 can of mandarin oranges off the table onto her foot, and I was afraid it might be bruised. I grabbed Rehnes cream and applied it. My daughter didn’t even bruise. roken. There was a deep bruise on her foot and shin and her foot was tremendously swollen. I applied the poultice with your oil blend in it and covered it up with a sock and only an hour later she was able to run around on her foot again. The next day i applied it again in the morning and the bruise was almost invisible at that point. Today she has no bruise and no residual discomfort at all! I'm going to make that blend with the Tamanu oil and out it into a roller bottle i think!
A follow up from Stephanie on her husband: “Much improved! He had his ten day appointment with the trauma specialist on the 31st and the specialist was blown away at how quickly he is healing! He said that at ten days he was showing progress like it had already been 4 weeks. I credit the comfrey and plantain capsules and the poultice made using your recipe mixed with crushed comfrey.

I'm visiting family in Colorado and my hands get very dry and chapped. But this visit I am using Rehne's blend for dry chapped hands and oh my what a difference. My hands feel so good and the blend smells great.

I have dealt with lower back/sciatic pain for years and have tried soooo many remedies to help ease the pain. I was so fortunate recently to get a sample of Rehne's Conifer Pain Relief cream - OMG - this is wonderful cream and has eased my pain significantly and quickly.
I slightly sprained my foot Friday evening and immediately started using the Conifer cream and by Sunday I could walk without limping. I am amazed and excited and highly recommend the Rehne's Conifer Pain Relief Cream.
Aromatherapy for Healing is awesome and powerful.
