About Us

Traditional Chinese Medicine + Ayurveda + Aromatherapy

Bringing together the best of nature’s remedies.

Our Story

Quintescents was borne from our founder’s passion to find a permanent solution to chronic ailments that plagued her and her parents. Even though Rui was exposed to a mix of traditional oriental treatments and western prescription medication, these remedies could only provide temporary relief, driving Rui to explore a more holistic approach through self-learning and certified courses.

As a certified Chinese Medicine Health Management Practitioner and NAHA Aromatherapist, Rui established Quintescents, using her integrated knowledge of Chinese Medicine and aromatherapy to create therapeutic blends that encapsulate the best of traditional oriental and western medical wisdom. These holistic blends have become the cornerstone of Quintescents’ solutions to healthy living and improved well-being.

Through our specially curated blends and holistic solutions, our aim is to enhance quality of life, and strive for balanced living that allows our customers the ability to savour the moments that matter.

Our Holistic Wellness Approach

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and Aromatherapy are three ancient holistic healing systems that have been used for centuries to promote wellness and balance in the body, mind, and spirit. Together, they are greater than the sum of their parts. Aromatherapy can be used in TCM to enhance the benefits of acupuncture or massage, and in Ayurveda, to balance the doshas and promote relaxation during meditation or yoga.

TCM

A system of healing that emphasizes the balance between yin and yang, two opposing forces in the body, and the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body’s meridian channels. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage are some of the common practices used in TCM.

Ayurveda

A holistic health system originating in India that focuses on balancing three doshas, which are biological energies that control bodily functions. Ayurvedic treatments include herbal medicine, dietary changes, yoga, and meditation.

Aromatherapy

The therapeutic use of essential oils derived from plants to promote physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils are extracted from plants’ leaves, stems, flowers, and roots and are used in diffusers, massage oils, and other products.

Tradition Meets Technology

Here’s why essential oils are a great complement to natural remedies.

Aromatic

The pleasant aroma of essential oils make them palatable compared to the often bitter and pungent aroma of TCM herbs.

Quick Acting

While branches of natural medicine take a long time to process and prepare before application, essential oils are available on demand and can act fast.

Easy To Absorb

Essential oils are high in efficacy because the smallness of the molecules allows strong penetration into the body.

Suitable For Home Use

Getting a bottle of ready-to-use essential oils means all the heavy lifting is done for you. With an infographic on which parts of your body to massage the oil into, it is easy to implement aromatherapy into your treatment plan.
