Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mood, cognitive function or health. The effectiveness of aromatherapy is yet to be scientifically proven, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential.

Since some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-microbial effects, it has been suggested that they may be useful for the treatment of infectious diseases. Evidence for the efficacy of aromatherapy in treating medical conditions remains poor, with a particular lack of studies employing rigorous methodology.

Is it ok to use Bath and Body Works aromatherapy oils in a diffuser?
Q. I was wondering if I could use a Bath and Body Works aromatherapy oil in my diffuser. It uses an air pump to disperse the oil into the air in a fine mist. I noticed on the Bath and Body Works website it says that the oils should be used with an oil warmer. Also, I couldn't find out if the oils were 100% essential oils. Could they still be used regardless? Does it even matter? Sorry, I'm new to oils and diffusers!

A. No. It looks like, from their website, what they sell is "home fragrance oil" and "massage oil." The former is a blend and not essential oils. The latter is diluted with what is called a carrier oil. Either of these can stop up and ruin an expensive diffuser. True essential oils are obtained from plant oils and have healing properties. Some are anti-fungal, bactericidal, anti-spasmodic and so forth. What you have smells good but is made from petrochemicals, highly refined oil obtained from the ground--some is made into motor oil, gasoline, etc. It has no healing properties & may even be damaging.

Where can I get started in aromatherapy/essential oils?
Q. I have a few basic oils, but I'm not quite sure how to get started with aromatherapy. I'd also like a source from which to purchase more oils and supplies. If anyone knows, that would be great! Thanks.

A. Getting into aromatherapy is great but if you really want to learn i would take a class on it im taking it as well i have 2 yrs left that is if you want the degree... some of the oils you have to be very careful cause some can be toxic you should know all the contraindications about that... always have the latin name correct and make sure it is the right latin name cause even tho it can say lavender oil if it doesnt have the latin name dont get it they should always have it , i know lavender oil has about 3 different latin names cause there are different ones so definately pick the right latin name... so as you can see its difficult cause you really must be careful when choosing oils and even making things but if you want to take a class… [cont.]
