A family story
Dominique Baudoux is a pharmacist like his father and grandfather. In the 1980s, he was one of the first community pharmacists in Belgium to take an interest in Essential Oils for health.
Passionate from the beginning, Dominique Baudoux travels across France and Belgium to give conferences and training to his peers, in order to give Essential Oils the place they deserve in our family pharmacies. Very quickly, he flew to Japan, Quebec and South Africa where audiences of health and well-being professionals eager to discover scientific Aromatherapy were waiting for him.
An outstanding teacher, Dominique Baudoux tirelessly transmits the passion for essential oils and develops innovative aromatherapy products. His surprisingly effective formulas convince those around him of the incredible healing power of essential oils.
Collected in his first bestseller, “Aromatherapy – treating yourself with essential oils ”, his formulas will forever remain great classics of aromatherapy according to the French School, and make Dominique Baudoux one of the most respected aromatologists in the world.

Producer – distiller partners
Pranarōm works all over the world in close collaboration with producers and distillers of aromatic plants. This proximity allows Pranarōm to control the quality of its essential oils from the plant to the bottle.
In Madagascar, Pranarōm engaged with growers in the early 2000s in order to develop with them responsible cultivation of aromatic plants and traditional distillation that was respectful of both the environment and industrial quality.
In 2009, Pranarōm initiated a vast local development project in Antsirabe which provides stable and fair employment for more than a hundred people while preserving the laboratory's responsible supplies of Essential Oils. This project is AROMABE.
The respect
Pranarōm supports organic farming because it is best for nature. Whenever possible, Pranarôm formulates its products in ORGANIC quality and complies with the requirements of ORGANIC certification. Most products carry an organic certification label controlled by Certisys Belgium.
With a view to sustainable development, Pranarōm invests in Madagascar in the sustainable planting of organic ravintsara and other local plants. Ecological and sustainable production methods are thus respected. Pranarōm also invests in the cultivation of endangered species.
Alongside the production of Essential Oils, Pranarōm develops local services (doctors, nursing, education) on site in order to assist the growing Malagasy population.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to harmonize physical and mental health. Essential oils are used to enhance the natural healing process. It is a natural method which is based on the activity of the biochemical molecules of essential oils

Aromatherapy, the passion for essential oils
“30 years ago, when Pranarôm was founded, aromatherapy was unknown. “You want to treat with perfumes!” », I was told in the pharmacy, out of ignorance. Today, the whole world has heard about the wonderful virtues of essential oils.
Scientific research on aromatherapy is developing at high speed, partly thanks to Pranar ō m. It took a lot of work to get here, and I am proud to have contributed to this influence.
When Pranarôm was launched, there was little study of essential oils, and I set off on an adventure into unknown, sometimes hostile lands! But I am a man of challenges, and passionate about aromatherapy. A pharmacist by training, son and grandson of pharmacists, I aspired to other professional horizons when a homeopathic doctor friend offered me, one day in May 1988, to accompany him to a conference entitled “aromatherapy”. It was the starting point of a great family adventure, which continues beyond my expectations.
I would like to thank the pharmacists, healthcare professionals, patients and of course the employees who have trusted us for 30 years. I sincerely believe that natural medicines, backed by a rigorous scientific approach, have a rich future ahead of them, in all areas of health. This is the direction taken 30 years ago, and this will still be the beating heart of our action tomorrow. »
