Terpenes & Essential Oils
Below is a sample of the literature reviewed during the formation stages of MONQ. It was utilized to ensure that we had a clear understanding of the wellness profile of the various components of our product, the first Personal Aromatherapy Diffuser.
The industry has subsequently morphed into what some call a No-Nicotine Vape Pen.
Yet we still prefer calling our product Essential Oil based Aromatherapy!
