Revising safety - Research in essential oil use and synergy

http://roberttisserand.com/2011/06/negative-bias/

I'll be at Robert Tisserands seminar in Miami 15/16th October, see you there!

Aromatherapy Research & the Synergy of Constituents

Essential oils are both complex and multi-functional, simultaneously acting as, for example, antibiotics and antidepressants. They contain many important bioactive constituents, and this complexity allows for both synergistic and antagonistic effects. Synergy is a manifestation of the efficiency of nature, combining substances for an enhanced outcome. Clinical aspects covered include radiation damage (whether from therapeutic or accidental exposure) skin safety, bedsores & wound healing, antibiotic-resistant infections, preventive measures for sun damage and skin cancer, and pain of different origins. Many clinical studies are referred to in detail. The seminar is for those with some previous knowledge of essential oils and aromatherapy, and who want to take their understanding to a deeper level. Most of the seminar is lecture format with slides.

Reducing inflammation from Osteoarthritis with Ginger


In China the first recorded use of Ginger was by Confucius (circa 500BC) who claimed never to be without ginger when he ate.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine ginger is used for colds and chills to promote sweating, expel mucous and stimulate the appetite.  The dried ginger has been used to treat stomach ache, dihorrea, nausea, cholera and bleeding (Leung A, Foster S Encyclopedia of Common Natural Ingredients used in foods, drugs and cosmetics).

As regards the essential oil it is steam distilled from the dried rhizomes.  The scientific approach is that if you understand the main components of the oil then you will know the general effects.  However particular uses of essential oils depend on components which may be present in very tiny quantities.  The main components of the essential oil are sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (50-66%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes. If three isoprene units join they make a longer and heavier chain molecule known as a sesquiterpene (15 carbon atoms).  Sesquiterpenes are slightly antiseptic, bactericicidal, calming and anti-inflammatory.  (Price, Aromatherapy Workbook).  

The essential oil does not contain the pungent and warming components found in the dried herb. The oil is used in Aromatherapy as a circulatory stimulant, for cold hands and feet and cardiac fatigue.  Blended with roman chamomile and sweet orange it has relieved morning sickness.  Sufferers of arthritis have found a compress of ginger oil helpful.  Inhaling ginger oil has been found useful for coughs and sore throats.  (Mojay, Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit). Ginger with peppermint and caraway is recommended as a blend for upset stomaches and travel sickness either mixed with a vegetable oil 2% essential oil 98% carrier oil and rubbed on the stomach or placed on a tissue and inhaled.  (Shirley Price, Aromatherapy Workbook) 

Essential oil should always be used in tiny quantities and never be taken internally but applied externally in diluted form or inhaled.

essential oils and animals

Evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians were the first to use essential oils. They developed distillation techniques and pioneered the discovery of medical and other uses of essential oils. At about the same time, the Indians and Chinese were also developing the use of plant materials in healing. Knowledge of oil use was passed on to the Greeks.. The Romans continued this process. A Persian physician named Avicenna (approximately 1,000 A.D.) is credited with perfecting the distillation process.


Oils have been shown to have many possible desirable effects such as reducing anxiety and inflammation, fighting oxidative processes, battling toxins and fighting infections by inhibiting bacteria, fungi and viruses. Oil odors can also be used to affect mental states and memory. Modern doctors are looking for agents that will assist in management of resistant infections and cancer, and these natural products may well hold the key to several major advancements.

Classroom vs distance learning

Spa teaching often starts with ayurveda because those are the oldest known writings, but things were discovered and remembered long before writing was invented, Socrates complained about the new invention of writing because of its ambiguity whereas when someone speaks meaning is clear and what is said is clearly remembered.  That is the argument for the classroom rather than distance learning.
