Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 - Loraine Glueck Wednesday, May 02, 2001 10:48 AM clinic; ProphetOfDoom aromatherapy I am a student in massage therapy. I'm doing a presentation in my anatomy and physiology class, and I have chosen the subject of aromatherapy. However, research is proving to be difficult. So far, I've encountered many hokey "aromatherapy can cure everything" pages and many "aromatherapy is hype" pages. I'm having trouble finding a resource that gets past the accusatory comments and the sheer naivete, and just gives me the science. If you can help, please email me at ProphetOfDoom -I appreciate any help I can get.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 Hi Loraine, I'm replying to this on group since there are others who are interested in aromatherapy. There are a number of very qualified and very professional aromatherapists on the wiseweeds groups on , including a man who grows roses in Turkey. The wiseweeds groups is the best source of aromatherapy information that I know of. Also check with Catherine Novak. There are some scattered references to TCM aromatherapy in some of the Bob Flaws books. You're right to be leery of any healer who claims that his or her particular school of healing can cure everything. No school of healing can cure everything, and that includes TCM. Sometimes TCM is best, sometimes chiropractor or DO, sometimes Western medicine, sometimes acupuncture, sometimes herbs, sometimes surgery, etc. Sometimes the best treatment is a combination.
