Dr. Eric Fishman, also known as Dr. MONQ, is frequently asked why an orthopedic surgeon would venture to start an aromatherapy company. His answer is quite simple. People go into medicine in order to help others and as an orthopedic surgeon, he was able to help tens of thousands of people…one at a time. So in a busy day, he would help 40 or 50 patients, but it was always constrained within the Western medicine box.
He was able to draw straight lines with a scalpel and help people according to the Western medicine precepts, but he didn’t give a thought for the most part to Eastern medicine, and certainly not to aromatherapy. After retiring from medicine, Dr. MONQ enrolled in a yoga teacher training program and for the first time ever, experienced the amazing benefits of aromatherapy.
Classmates and teachers would give him peppermint to get energized and lavender to relax and he was amazed at the benefits. It was then that he developed the concept of helping not one or two people, not tens of thousands of people, but in fact millions of people around the world by providing them with a convenient and easy method of using essential oils in their own personal diffuser wherever they are. That is when MONQ® was born.
MONQ® is an acronym; Modifying One’s Natural Qualia. Qualia is a poorly understood concept. It relates to how we experience the world. The redness of a strawberry, the sweetness of vanilla, or feeling nervous or stressed, as opposed to feeling calm. So by using a MONQ® personal aromatherapy diffuser, you can change for the better your perception of the world, and particularly your perception of yourself, your state of mind, and your sense of being.
“People are able to use MONQ® Diffusers wherever they are, whenever they want,” states Dr. MONQ. “We all know that stress is one of the most pervasive impediments to good health and longevity. Recent EEG studies have demonstrated that using Zen MONQ increases Alpha and Theta brain waves, clearly indicating a more relaxed and meditative state. The effect is almost immediate in many instances. It has been shown that breathing in the terpenes that are present in MONQ® products can lower stress. And, our tens of thousands of customer testimonials, sharing their daily experiences and wellness improvements, are a testament to the belief that breathing MONQ® is lowering their stress and improving their Qualia of Life too.” Visit www.DrMONQ.com to learn more.
