FAQ
Prana+Therapy is a functional health Remedy. One of the functions of this remedy is to be an effective anti-bacterial sanitiser This works through the remarkable process of synergy.
The Prana+Therapy formula has â19 Anti-Viral and Anti-bacterial componentsâ in the form of essential oils.
Through Synergy this amplifies these essential oils and combined âtogetherâ this amplifies their action 10,000 fold.
We can only claim the anti-bacterial aspect of our product as we have had it independently tested by analysis. However, from Kimberleyâs own experience, since she created Prana+Therapy formula over 17 years ago, this is a high quality product and when used the way Prana+Therapy Infection Prevention Protocol (PIPP) has been developed, Prana+Therapy has proven results in an infectious Viral environment.
You can use this protocol where infection is already present or to protect yourself.
Remember L.A.S.H.:
Step One: LAUNDRY â disinfect your clothes.
Add one cup of Prana+Therapy to the rinse cycle of a full load. (purchase of 5KG & 20KG bottles recommended)
Step Two: Purify the AIR you breathe.
Diffuse full strength Prana+Therapy in electronic diffuser 24/7 (purchase of 5KG and 20KG recommended)
Step Three: Sanitise SURFACES
Spray Prana+Therapy onto exposed common surfaces, wipe with a paper towel and dispose. Repeat spray and let settle.
Risky areas: door handles, hand rails, taps, sink basins and kitchen surfaces. (use any size bottle, 5KG and 20KG great for refills)
Step Four: Cleanse HANDS
Use Prana+Therapy to sanitise, hydrate and maintain the skinâs natural pH balance. Wash hands as normal, spray with Prana+Therapy and dry with paper towels.
While washing hands with soap or with Alcohol infused products have been recommended, excessive use can also dry & crack the skin which can leave it vulnerable as it strips the âacid mantelâ of the skin leaving the skin susceptible to infection. (use any size bottle, 5KG and 20KG great for refills)

There appears to be an over-use of the terms âorganicâ, â naturalâ, â eco-friendlyâ and âgreenâ these days. It can be very confusing to understand just what is in a product. Donât rely on the label to tell you a product is safe, ALWAYS read the ingredients list on the back. Prana+Therapy is made of pure wild crafted and organic essential oils in a base of organic emulsifiers, deionized water and organic white vinegar. There are no preservatives or chemicals in our products. Prana+Therapy is about as pure as it gets.
When considering how much Prana+Therapy to buy, consider how much you are likely to use in a 6 month period. An average household usually purchases 5KG every 2 months, those following the PIPP (above) will tend to use 5KG a month.
Like all natural products, fresh is best and the primary purpose of Prana+Therapy is to be a remedy. The addition of organic or chemical preservatives and binders can extend the shelf life while compromising on the safeness and usefulness of Prana+Therapy as a remedy on eyes and mouth for instance.
Unlike chemical cleaners and hand sanitisers which can be detrimental to your health, causing chemical sensitivities such as skin, eye and respiratory irritations. Over time, through inhalation and absorption, gut health can also suffer.
Prana+Therapy is designed as a remedy, so that the more you use the better you feel. I personally use 5KG a month, in my kitchen, laundry, aromatherapy diffuser, on my skin, in the kitchen, floors and so much more...

Yes Prana+Therapy is great as a deodorant. However it is not a anti-perspirants. It is not deemed healthy to block the pores to avoid perspiration and this can only be achieved with the use of synthetic chemicals.

The synergy formula in Prana+Therapy has been diluted down into a safe and balancing solution at less than 1/2% dilution, making it suitable for use during pregnancy. However, the old adage "when in doubt, dont" remains true. It is recommended that one use caution during the first trimester and avoid the use of most essential oils where possible. Geranium, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, orange and patchouli are the greater oils used in Prana+Therapy are suitable for use after the first trimester.
Many of the claims made in aromatherapy books and articles about not using particular oils during pregnancy are unfounded. Many of these claims are not based on the essential oil concerned, but are from the traditionally claimed effects of the water soluble herbal extracts when taken internally. Such extracts are totally different to the same plant's oil. Essential oils are commonly used as flavourings. It appears then that legislation would have restricted the use of essential oils, even if there was the slightest evidence that using essential oils externally was a risk to the health of a fetus. However wintergreen and birch oils should be avoided when pregnant. This indication is due to the main chemical methyl salicylate that could possibly be absorbed by the skin. Exceeding levels of methyl salicylate in the bloodstream is not a good idea during pregnancy. Prana+Therapy does not contain wintergreen or birch.
The America FDA requires labels to have a caution against using essential oils during pregnancy. The reason for this is due to rare cases of complications in some tests. We advise that you should check with your doctor first before using essential oils while you are pregnant. However, pregnant woman around the world are using essential oils every day. There are many aromatherapy books with various self prepared formulas just for pregnant women.

According to Ayurveda, (part of the ancient and oldest scriptures originated in India) *Prana, Ojas (essential energy of the body), exists within the heart. The word Prana means "Life Air" or "Life Force" *Prana is the physical carrier of awareness to the object of perception. *Prana is the life within each breath we take. *Prana the cellular intelligence that continuously flows from one cell to the other. *Prana the internal movement of thought, sensation, feeling, and emotion. *Prana, body, and mind are deeply connected.

The most potentially toxic and hazardous method of using essential oils is through internal Use. By ingesting the oils or using them in suppositories the whole essential oil, and all of its components, find their way directly into the blood. However this caution is mostly regarding ingested essential oils in their whole and concentrated form. When diluted at a ratio of 1% to 1/2 % or less and consumed in small quantities the reaction would in most cases be one of nil. Prana+Therapy has been diluted to less then 1/2% and is a non-toxic body and home care product. However it is not meant to be used internally.
