Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Martin, I was just looking at your book reviews - especially those that concern me. I don't concede all your critical points about about Essential Oil Safety, though some are apt and pertinent. At any rate all are duly noted, and I believe most would not apply to the revised edition. This is still 12 months away, now co-authored with Rodney Young. On one major point, I beg to differ - that of transcutaneous absorption of essential oil constituents. There is fairly abundant literature on this. Regarding The Art of Aromatherapy (I am not familiar with the book/edition you cite) this is something of an antique now, and was written well over 30 years ago. I'll just say that I agree with some of the points you make, and not others. I am as bemused as you are by the way some of the content is treated as fact even today, when things have moved on so much. I would like to correct one factual error - I neither attended nor graduated from an aromatherapy course run by Danielle Ryman (I did meet her once, for about an hour). Or, in fact anyone else. I have of course never claimed any academic credentials in plant medicine or related disciplines. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi all, The point about " transcutaneous absorption of essential oil constituents " has always confused me also. I know of so many people who suffer from the effects of absorbing other compounds through the skin that I must question that EO will not be absorbed through the same vehicle, at least in some cases. I will also say that I have the highest regard for Martin and I consider him right unless I see contraditory evidence. But this is something I have never accepted that sub q is not effective.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Robert, >I neither attended nor graduated from an aromatherapy course run by >Danielle Ryman Well it just goes to show you can't believe a fraction of what people in this trade tell you. That information came out of her own mouth direct to me!! I will now remove that comment from the review. I don't envy you the job of updating your safety manual as now there is so much trash about on the chemistry. I have said I will never update my manual on the basis of flawed chemical guesswork like RIFM are now using as well as the EEC. So the best of luck with that project. >I beg to differ - that of transcutaneous absorption of essential oil >constituents. There is still no sound research suggesting that sufficient can enter the body via the skin to have therapeutic effects internally. In addition, even if there were, there is not sufficient volume entering the body via that route compared to via foods we consume. Most of aromatherapy just assumes that rubbing a diluted plants essential oil on the skin will produce the same effects as the same plants herbal preparation given internally. The biggest blunder ever made by all aromatherapy authors. I know that essential oils have been used as carriers to force drugs through the skin, but being used as a solvent in no way equals use as a therapeutic agent and the methods used bear little relationship to the average use in massage.

I have said I will never update my manual on the basis of flawed chemical guesswork like RIFM are now using as well as the EEC. So the best of luck with that project. We are taking the approach that applying safety factors such as 100 or 1,000, to No Adverse Effect doses is, in most cases, baseless and arbitrary. And, the rationale for listing some of the so-called high risk skin allergens as such is equally fuzzy. So no mercy there. I'm puzzled by the way RIFM are ignoring human data in preference to animal models, which in turn are supposed to reflect human susceptibilities. Makes no sense to me. > > >I beg to differ - that of transcutaneous absorption of essential oil >constituents. > There is still no sound research suggesting that sufficient can enter the body via the skin to have therapeutic effects internally. I agree that there seems to be an unspoken assumption in aromatherapy that ascribed therapeutic effects will always occur from dermal application. I believe many effects are unlikely, and many are likely, since some will require substantial dosing and some won't. In addition, even if there were, there is not sufficient volume entering the body via that route compared to via foods we consume. Most of aromatherapy just assumes that rubbing a diluted plants essential oil on the skin will produce the same effects as the same plants herbal preparation given internally. The biggest blunder ever made by all aromatherapy authors. If people are still ascribing the properties of the herbs to essential oils without any rationale for doing so, they need their knuckles rapped. I know that essential oils have been used as carriers to force drugs through the skin, but being used as a solvent in no way equals use as a therapeutic agent and the methods used bear little relationship to the average use in massage. These oils/constituents work by altering the skin's barrier properties - effectively making the skin more permeable. So it seems to me not unreasonable to expect those oils/constituents to enter themselves through the " gate " they have just opened.
