Anima Essential Oils

Adriana Ayales, Founder: "I am thrilled to announce that we have officially acquired Floracopeia, an essential oil company co-founded by my dear friend and colleague David Crow.

When I first took David's course over a decade ago and tried Floracopeia's products, I was immediately hooked. The quality and potency of these oils was - and is - incomparable. As strange as it may sound, I've never been a big fan of essential oils. Aside from the classic items in any herbalist's first aid kit, I didn't collect any exotic oils...until I met David.

David and Floracopeia opened up a whole new world of healing potential to me. Since then, I have delved into the traditional art of distillation, extraction and many other preparations. Did you know that aromatherapy and medicinal scents were among the first forms of medicine ever used for health and healing?

Recently, David told me that he was considering closing Floracopeia, the company he has built over the past two decades. I knew immediately that I wanted to make it my mission to continue his legacy by supporting eco-projects that distill some of the best oils in the world. For this purpose I have more than 20 special oils for the Anima Mundi-Pharmacy selected. I believe these oils are a must have in your home or first aid kit for various therapeutic and medicinal purposes.

The essential oil industry can be incredibly deceptive. That's why it's of utmost importance to me to continue David's commitment to bringing small batch distillations to conscious consumers. With strange extractors, diluents, agricultural toxins, and other harmful practices, getting these small batches of very high quality oils from extremely rural areas to you is no easy task. 

We are deeply grateful to David for his lifelong commitment to supporting communities that grow sustainable, natural medicines and preserve ethnobotanical knowledge.
It is a great honor to welcome David to the Anima family as our new Chief Aromatic Officer. Given his profound legacy, we are committed to advancing this important work in close collaboration with David and his team."
