Hi, my name is Brian Skinness, the founder of Imani Natural Products and Terrapin Station - Music, Art & Wellness Centre in Nevis Minnesota.
I believe in the power of basic things. It stems from my belief that all things began as one. This wholeness paradigm influences my worldview in every way and is consistent with my belief that we are here as a result of creative intelligence.
I believe that our immune system is designed to function with naturally occurring elements and chemistry, like those found in food and herbs. The foundation of modern pharmacology is the chemistry found in nature. However, the development of synthetic chemical methods has allowed for a variation of the natural structure, while less attention is given the natural compounds considered non-active. This isolation and synthesisation has significant value by increasing a specific effect, but may also result in unintended complications since the body is less suited to assimilate this type of chemistry. One school of thought considers powerful medicine to be inferior and should only be used in the most severe cases of imbalance. From this point of view, it is better to use foods and herbs to restore balance before small imbalances become severe.
Deal with the difficult while yet it is easy;
Deal with the big while yet it is small.
-Lao Tzu
Maintaining personal responsibility for our choices is important for our overall health and sense of well-being. When our life feels out of control, our stress level rises, we eat less intentionally and toxins build-up. Over time, our immune systems become fatigued and our bodies are increasingly susceptible to disease. When people choose to reduce stress, improve nutrition and reduce toxic influences health can be maintained and improved naturally.
Some people are finally ready to try natural methods after they feel that they've explored, experienced, or even exhausted modern medicine. Others choose a natural approach first and decide what makes sense for them. Your healthcare choices are personal and too complex to offer a "one size, fits all" solution. We simply want to encourage you to make decisions that move you toward health and our mission is to serve you whenever we can.
I hope that you'll stay connected!

We are an essential oil company operating on the belief that God created plants that naturally and intelligently support our immune system and enhance our lives. Essential oils are an intriguing and provocative form of a plants energy - a beautiful and concentrated summation of the powerful factors of earth, air, water and sun combined with the aromatic plants unique growing chemistry.
Imani means Faith and we believe that many plants were originally designed to assist our body in healing. We believe that this original design still has significant value in today's world. It inspires us to seek out and offer oils from plants grown in their most natural way and tended by people who hold a similar view.
Our mission is to be a vessel through which God can work to provide medicinal quality essential oils to those who seek them.
Some things have changed since we began in 1993...like internet ordering, streaming music (a personal favorite of mine) and email; however, for us, some things have stayed the same.
I still hand pour the oils that we send everyday. It's a key process that keeps me close to the oils and more keenly aware of their quality. It's important, perhaps even sacred, to me.
We are a relatively quiet company that grows simply and organically by word of mouth, so we treasure the connection that we have with you!
