Veriditas Botanicals

The name Veriditas comes from the Latin words for "green" and "truth". The locally-grown herbalist and owner of Veriditas Botanicals, Melissa Farris, created her line of pure, therapeutic grade, organic essential oils to reflect deep and significant healing powers found through a connection to the earth and to nature. Farris is an international educator and she maintains close connections to the farmers and distillers of her oils through a cooperative in France and direct relationships with other distillers around the world. These relationships allow Veriditas to provide high-quality oils at affordable prices and to connect consumers more directly to the source of their essential oils.

The Wedge now offers a full line of single oils and therapeutic essential oil blends from Veriditas Botanicals, which are fundamental for every family's home pharmacy. The special Wellness Formulas include treatments for warts, acne, gingivitis and more. Single essential oils include Lavender augustifolia and a special "Reserve" Lavender (the Dom Perignon of Lavender!), Sandalwood, Peppermint, Cocoa, Eucalyptus and others. Veriditas oils are produced with the intention of being used for their healing properties. We are happy to offer these oils with the love and regard in which they were grown and distilled.

Why Choose Therapeutic Grade?

Most essential oils on the marketplace are traded through distributors or brokers and pass through many hands before reaching a retail store. These oils are often adulterated with substances that "boost" or "extend" one or more of the fragrant properties in the oil. One liter of pure, organic Lavender is sold for around $300. On the other hand, a liter of synthetic or adulterated oil is sold from $10 to $60. One can see why boosting and extending a true oil to increase profit margins might be a seductive choice. Adulterated oils can also cause short term side effects such as rashes, burning or other irritations. It is unknown what long term effects synthetically treated oils have on human physiology.

Veriditas offers only pure therapeutic grade essential oils, shipped directly from the producers that grow and distill them organically. This direct relationship allows them to offer essential oils that you and your nose can trust.

Why Choose Organic?

When an essential oil is labeling "organic", this certification ensures that the plants were farmed, harvested, distilled and distributed according to organic methods. Following organic farming methods ensures that oils are free of pesticides, synthetics and adulterants.
