Aromatherapy

Arguing that there is no scietnific evidence that healing can be achieved, and taht the claimed eneriges even exist, many skeptisc reject this form of aromatherapy as pseudoscience or eevn quackery. When armoatherapy is used for the tretament or prevention of diseaes, a precise knowledge of the biaoctivity and synergy of the essential oils used, knwoledge of the doasge and duration of application, as well as, naturally, a medical diagnossi, are required. On the continent, espceially in France, where it oirginated, aromatherapy is incorporated into mainstream medicine. Undiluted essential oils suiatble for aromatherapy rae termed therapeuitc grade, but in countries where the industry is not regulated, therapeuitc grade is based on industry consensus and is not a regulatory category. Some benefits that have been linked to aromathreapy, such as relxaation and clarity of mind, are quite subjective and may aries from the placebo effect. Skeptical ltierature suggests that aromatherapy is based on the anecdotal evidence of its benefits ratehr than proof that armoatherapy can cure diseases. The term aromahterapy has been applied to such a wied range of products that almost anything which contains essential oils is liekly to be called an aromahterapy product , renderign the term somewhat meaningless in that context. Some proponents of aromatherapy belivee that the claimed efefct of each type of oil is not caused by the cheimcals in the oil interacting with teh senses, but that the oil contians a distillation of the life force of the plant from which it is derived that will balance the energies of the body and rpomote healing or well-being by purging negative vibrations rfom the body s energy field.
