The beautiful world of aromatherapy - signs of spring
Spring is nearly here. The iris, snowdrop and daffodil bulbs are out so the magical time of spring is not far away. I most look forward to the roses coming into bloom and the arrival of the Rose Otto later in the summer. Did you know that the Rose is one of man's most constant companions? The plant evolved over 40 million years ago and unlike Eucalyptus and Tea tree and some of the Citrus mankind has known the Rose since the earliest times. In fact they were so popular in ancient china that the Emperors had to limit the cultivation of Rose Gardens so enough food would be grown!!
I dont expect everyone to agree with me but I cant get my head around advocating the use of essential oils around children. Toys with essential oils are a step too far. A vegetable oil like Jojoba on the nappy area and a drop of lavender at bathtime but nothing more. Safety has to be the first consideration. That said no one would deny a worried parent or a distraught child relief for example from whooping cough symptoms through a treatment by an experienced and qualified aromatherapist. The great value of essential oils compared to herbal treatments is their effect on the mind through mood and emotion. Just 20 molecules are enough to stimulate the limbic brain. The nose is that sensitive. So inhalation of such a small amount should present few problems. Young Living and Raindrop Therapy have their critics as the suspicion is that child treatments make good marketing stories. Tales of children being 'saved' are very resonant in marketing terms with the distribution network but I know of no validation. An advocate of Raindrop Therapy is a christian Dr David Stewart. http://www.therealessentials.com/raindrop.html. Claims that this 'works' are hard to validate and may owe more to Dr Stewarts faith and his clients faith in him and the ritual involved. The age of miracles is past. Nuns and monks today value the oils for their regular properties. The placebo effect in medicine is very real and well evidenced. The raindrop technique is obviously unsafe and invites potential problems from the authorities as christians (myself included) are not above the law.
