MONQ Introduces a Personal Aromatherapy Solution Noses Won’t Go Blind To

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2016—MONQ therapeutic air introduces a personal aromatherapy diffuser that keeps each whiff as powerful as the first. Rather than diffusing a constant stream of essential oils, which eventually causes the senses to become “blind” to a scent, MONQ is putting forth an innovative technology that bathes the olfactory senses directly in small bursts, thus providing a more effective and long-lasting way for individuals to benefit from aromatherapy.

A recent article published by Eric S. Fishman, M.D., Preston Campbell, PhD, Wendy M. Yoder, PhD, and Allison J. Phillips, MS explains, “We are hardwired to respond to scents… The pleasure we derive from these vivid sensory details can provide significant benefits to our health and overall wellbeing. Unfortunately however, the transformation is often short-lived. Because our olfactory neurons rapidly adapt, the sensation quickly disappears. This is why conventional desktop diffusers lose appeal. After a few minutes, our brains have processed the information, and the scent becomes just another transitory echo. Needless to say, this poses numerous limitations for aromatherapy.”

Similar to individuals who can no longer smell their own home, traditional aromatherapy diffusers also become undetectable to the senses overtime. However, in its combination of vaporizing technology and its terpene-rich aromatherapy blends, MONQ has found a science-backed solution that avoids oversaturating the olfactory senses.

“Unlike traditional diffusers or a candle that will disperse the aromas haphazardly through the air, MONQ offers a handheld personal aromatherapy device that is diffused directly into your mouth and out through your nose. In doing this, we allow the olfactory senses time to recover completely, which makes every breath feel as compelling and impactful as the first,” says Dr. Fishman, co-founder of MONQ.

MONQ is currently available in a variety of doctor-formulated blends, including Happy, Vibrant, Sexy, Healthy, Active, Zen, and Sleepy. It is entirely free of tobacco, nicotine, and artificial chemicals. Additionally, each personal aromatherapy device is 100 percent recyclable and responsibly sourced using only American-made ingredients and the highest quality materials.
