Our first few steps towards this venture started out a number of years ago when we as a family used to make numerous road trips and disappear into the mountains. All of us in the family look towards nature for cures and are fans of mystics and healers of the early ages. When the desire to start this venture was born we were all nothing short of ecstatic. Today along with a backbone of more than two decade's experience in the industry and our zeal and love for nature, Meraki Essentials has come into being. The most beautiful part is that the benefits of Aromatherapy and Essential Oils that have been documented through centuries are now experiences in our daily lives and we cannot wait to share them with the world. We, at Meraki Essentials, are in complete awe of the quality of products that are available to us in our Mother Land and we aspire to transform these age old beautiful traditions into products relevant in today's age. 

Meraki means to do something with soul, creativity or love, leaving behind a piece of you into what you are doing.

​Meraki Essentials wish to inject age old tried and tested natural solutions back into the community. We are committed to generating awareness on the many ways our products can provide benefits to the community at large.
