Words from the founder

I’m Dr. Patty!  And yes, that’s me in front of a baobab tree.

So happy you stopped by. So, relax and explore our well-curated essential oils for your daily needs, body, mind, and lifestyle. But before you do so, let me tell you about Makaaina!

Committed to quality

Sourced primarily from Madagascar

Madagascar, an island known for its unique fauna and flora, is the primary source of our high-quality essential oils.

Why Madagascar? My homeland is rich in medicinal plants and essential oils with transformative properties—many are endemic to its biodiversity.

And guess what? Some of these medicinal plants and essential oils have always been my family’s trusted health allies.

Being a native of Madagascar, I’ve experienced their benefits since childhood, from alleviating minor discomforts to addressing severe health concerns. Their effectiveness is deeply rooted in my experiences, making them an integral part of my everyday life.

Meaning of Makaaina

You may wonder what the meaning of Makaaina is.

In Malagasy, “maka” means to take or take back. “Aina” is life or the essence of life.

The deep meaning of Makaaina is to cease hard work or from the weight of life and take a breath (take back life) for a fresh start, a new vigor, or renewed energy.

Our Mission

 To spread the joy of wellness with the knowledge and the power of essential oils.

The core of true wellness is self-care and family care, knowing what

we want for ourselves, our health, our peace, and our family.

With Makaaina, we aim to guide you on this journey.
