FAQ
What exactly is Prana+Therapy?
Prana+Therapy is a functional health remedy that serves as an effective antibacterial sanitiser through the remarkable process of synergy. This involves a carefully crafted blend of 19 pure, 100% organic essential oils in a 2% essential oil to 98% water ratio. This unique formulation has been independently tested and proven to eliminate 99.99% of pathogens such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas.
Is Prana+Therapy effective against viruses?
Yes, Prana+Therapy contains 19 antiviral and antibacterial components in the form of essential oils. Through synergy, the combined effect of these oils is amplified significantly, enhancing their overall efficacy. While we can only officially claim the antibacterial aspect based on independent testing, Prana+Therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in viral environments through years of practical use.
How effective is Prana+Therapy against bacteria?
Prana+Therapy has been independently tested by Hill's Laboratories and proven effective against common bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These results underline its powerful antibacterial properties.
What is the Prana+Therapy Infection Prevention Protocol (PIPP)?
Prana+Therapy's PIPP involves the following steps to ensure comprehensive protection and disinfection:
- LAUNDRY: Disinfect clothes by adding one cup of Prana+Therapy to the rinse cycle of a full load.
- AIR: Purify the air by diffusing full-strength Prana+Therapy in an electronic diffuser 24/7.
- SURFACES: Sanitise surfaces by spraying Prana+Therapy onto common areas, wiping with a paper towel, and allowing the solution to settle.
- HANDS: Cleanse hands with Prana+Therapy to sanitize, hydrate, and maintain the skin’s natural pH balance, avoiding the harsh effects of soap and alcohol-based products.
Why is Prana+Therapy safe for all animals, including those sensitive to essential oils like cats?
The 2% essential oil to 98% water ratio ensures that Prana+Therapy is potent enough to be effective while being gentle and safe for all animals. This low concentration minimizes any potential adverse effects, making it suitable even for species generally sensitive to essential oils.
Why is Prana+Therapy labelled natural and not organic?
Prana+Therapy is made of pure wildcrafted and organic essential oils, organic emulsifiers, deionized water, and organic white vinegar. There are no preservatives or chemicals in our products, ensuring a pure and natural remedy.
How much Prana+Therapy should I buy?
Consider how much you are likely to use in a six-month period. An average household typically purchases 5KG every two months, while those following the PIPP may use 5KG per month.
Why do you recommend only buying what I'll use within six months?
Freshness is key with natural products. The primary purpose of Prana+Therapy is as a remedy, and adding preservatives would compromise its safeness and effectiveness.
Can I use too much Prana+Therapy?
Unlike chemical cleaners and hand sanitizers, Prana+Therapy is designed as a remedy, so the more you use, the better you feel. It is safe for extensive use around the home and on the body.
Do you test your products on animals?
Absolutely not. We never have and never will.
Should I be worried that there are no preservatives?
No, we have perfected our process to ensure no artificial preservatives are needed. All jars and manufacturing equipment are sterilised with natural products.
Shelf Life of Prana+Therapy: Small Bottles vs. Bulk Sizes
Why Do Smaller Bottles Have a Shorter Shelf Life Compared to Bulk Sizes?
The shelf life of Prana+Therapy varies between smaller bottles and bulk sizes due to several factors related to the nature of essential oils and their storage conditions. Here’s a detailed explanation based on scientific principles:
-
Thermal Insulation and Temperature Stability:
- Smaller Bottles: Smaller bottles have less thermal mass, meaning they can warm up and cool down more quickly with changes in ambient temperature. This increased exposure to temperature fluctuations can accelerate the degradation of essential oils, reducing the product's shelf life.
- Bulk Sizes: Larger containers have a greater volume of liquid, providing better thermal insulation. This helps maintain a more stable temperature, protecting the essential oils from rapid degradation and extending their shelf life.
-
Exposure to Air and Oxidation:
- Smaller Bottles: Each time a smaller bottle is opened, a greater proportion of the product is exposed to air. This can lead to increased oxidation, where essential oils react with oxygen, causing them to lose potency over time.
- Bulk Sizes: In bulk containers, even though air exposure occurs, the relative amount of product exposed is smaller compared to the total volume, slowing down the oxidation process and preserving the product’s efficacy for a longer period.
-
Light Exposure:
- Smaller Bottles: Essential oils are sensitive to light, which can break down their chemical structure and reduce effectiveness. Smaller bottles may be more frequently handled and exposed to light during use, accelerating this degradation.
- Bulk Sizes: Bulk containers are typically stored in less accessible areas and are opened less frequently, reducing their exposure to light and helping to maintain the stability of the essential oils.
Practical Tips for Extending Shelf Life
- Refrigeration: Keeping smaller bottles in the refrigerator when not in use can prolong their shelf life up to a year. Similarly, storing bulk sizes in a chilled environment will also extend their shelf life.
- Proper Storage: Both small and bulk containers should be stored in a cool, dark place to minimise light and heat exposure.
Conclusion
The shorter shelf life of smaller bottles of Prana+Therapy compared to bulk sizes is primarily due to factors such as temperature stability, air and light exposure. Understanding these factors can help users maximise the efficacy and longevity of their Prana+Therapy products by choosing the appropriate container size for their needs and storage practices. Refrigeration of both small and bulk sizes when not in use can significantly extend their shelf life, ensuring the product remains effective for up to a year.
