Natural vs. manufactured scents

[Guest guest]

Inhaling artificial scents is NOT the same as inhaling natural scents. The

artifical scents can have properties quite different from natural scents,

including triggering nausea, headaches, digestive upset, etc. Inhaling

natural scents also could trigger problems if the wrong ones are used. For

example, I'd be cautious about using Lignum Aquilariae as an incense with

someone with prolapse problems. It may be safe, but I'm not sure because of

the property of moving Qi downward.

 

PWCs (People With CFIDS) tend to be overwhelmed by scents (and sounds and

any sensory input).

 

For those interested in aromatherapy, we have a professional aromatherapist

and herbalist on this list - wiseweeds.
