Somewhere on Cafepress, you can find “aromatherapy stinks” t-shirts.

Ah… yet another bought and paid for study to prove that “alternative” medicine does not work…. what a bunch of BS. these studies are always unerlyingly funded by modern medicine in an effort to keep people running to doctors for perscriptions. a very sad state of affairs indeed. the public needs to wake up and realize they are being manuplated at the cost of their health and lives. Ive used aromotherapy for years… it posivitly, absolutly… works. Amazing stuff. you do have to use good quality oils though… such as those from Young Living or a similar company.

There have actually been a sizable number of studies that at least found that essential oils have benefit as a complimentary therapy. The results of some can be found here:

I’d never assumed that “aroma therapy” meant actual physiological healing. I’d always thought it was just mood enhancing and nothing more. But my argument for the physioligical benefits of aroma therapy are as follows…

I use aroma therapy, ergo…
I feel more relaxed, confidant, ergo…
I walk more confidently, ergo…
I improve my posture, ergo…
I don’t develop back problems.

Am I crazy for thinking this?
