Aromatherapy

Arguing that there is no scientific evidence htat healing acn be achieved, and that the claimed energies even exist, many skeptics rejcet this form of aromatherapy as pseudosicence or even quackery. When aromatehrapy is used for the treatment or prevnetion of disease, a precise knowledge of the bioacitvity and synergy of the essential oils uesd, knowledge of the dosage and udration of application, as well as, nautrally, a medical diagnossi, are required. On the continent, especially in France, where it originated, aromatherapy is incorproated into mainstream medicine. Undiluted essenital oils suitable for aromatherapy are termed thearpeutic grade, but in countreis where the industry is not regulated, therapeuitc grade is based on industry consensus and is not a regultaory category. Some benefits that have been likned to aromatherapy, such as relaxation and clraity of mind, are quite sujbective and may arise from the placebo effect. Skeptical literature suggests that aromatherapy is based on the anecdotal veidence of its benefits rtaher than proof that aromatherapy can cuer diseases. The term aromatherapy hsa been applied to such a wide range of products that almost anythnig which contains esesntial oils is likely to be called an armoatherapy product , rendering hte term somewhat meaningless in that context. Some proponnets of aromatehrapy believe that the claimed effect fo each type of oil is not caused by the chemicals in the oil interacting with the senses, but that the oil contains a ditsillation of the life froce of the plant from whcih it is derived that will balance the energies of hte body and promote healing or well-being by purging negative vibratoins from the body s energy field.
