Welcome to ESSENTIAL OILS

~General Discussion Forum~

"A pretty smell does not aromatherapy make," Tom Begley of Omaha reminds us. "There are three basic levels of oils or essences and only two can be considered therapeutic." "Remember, aromatherapy is based on the essential oils and that means they should be produced in such a manner as to preserve the essential qualities," Begley said. Research is currently showing promise in the use of aromatherapy for such diverse ailments as multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Anecdotal evidence supports the use of essential oils for a number of emotional and physical diseases. French physician Jean Valnet treated hundreds of cases of battlefield injuries with aromatherapy during WW II and wrote about it in his classic, Aromatherapié, now available in English."

From “Aromatherapy: Nose New is Good News” by Michael Braunstein
