Docteur Valnet

Docteur Valnet is a French range of organic essential oils that carries the name of Dr. Jean Valnet, a pioneer of aromatherapy in France. Paris Pharmacy ships its pure, certified organic oils to the US straight from Paris.

Docteur Valnet: The Legacy of a French Aromatherapy Pioneer

Jean Valnet was born in 1920 and learned about plants as a child from his grandmother, a midwife and herbalist. He became an army doctor, discovered aromatherapy, and in Paris led researchers working on the analysis of essential oils. In 1964 he published his first book on aromatherapy, later translated into six languages. Through his books, conferences, radio and television, he spoke up for organic farming, healthy food and the protection of the environment. In 1982, Marie-The Tiphaigne, who ran a laboratory of natural products with her husband Jackie, met Dr. Valnet and became his student. She was the first to use the term family aromatherapy, the art of using essential oils in small amounts in everyday life. In 1985, Dr. Valnet asked her to produce and distribute his 9 essential oil blends, and in 1995 the couple added a range of 50 single essential oils with organic certification. Today the Cosbionat laboratory is the exclusive maker of Docteur Valnet products.

Key Ingredients and Technology

These oils belong to the Docteur Valnet Absolute Quality range. Each one is a pure, complete and natural essential oil from a single named plant, steam distilled at low pressure and certified organic (AB label) by Bureau Veritas. Each oil is also chemotyped: its main natural molecules are identified, and every batch comes with a certificate of analysis that you can look up online. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so use them sparingly: keep them away from the eyes, never apply winter savory oil undiluted to the skin, and store the bottles away from light and heat, out of reach of children. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using Docteur Valnet essential oils during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
