Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hi all My daily gripe. After my appointment with my Lovely RNP, I went to the Mall. They had Microwavable Herbal packs. They are stuffed with all sorts of herbs (mostly stinky ones ROFLMAO!) and charge a FORTUNE for them. My Gripe comes in with the word Aromatherapy. These things are herbal hot packs. So I asked the guy, " what do these things have to do with Aromatherapy? " His answer was like " Duh. They SmeLL good! " Well, so does chocolate, I pointed out, but what does it have to do With AROMATHERAPY? You know...the use of Essential Oils...Blank stare...Okay... I gave a very quick lesson in Aromatherapy and said that using the word " Aromatherapy " on those packs was rather misleading...He said thanks for the information, he would pass it on. Another thing that got up my nose with those things, they listed all the herbs the packs were stuffed with...AND each herb's therapeutic quality were listed. As if heating up the herbs were going cure anything. Sigh, I'm tired. I know it's only 4:45 pm, but I would LOVE to go to bed now >YAWN< Cheers!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hey Kathleen, And yet another ignorant person emerges in a store... NOT you!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you, by the way! Don't let em get to ya... cuz they don't know what they're talking about and never will in reference to aromatherapy... <sigh> A shop opened in town here.. nice and new and all that... so I figured, well, great.. I'll go and check it out - the OWNER was there along with her assistant... by the time I left, I said to Mark.. well, if her lease is for 6 months - she'll last about that long - guess what? That was about 6 months ago and the place " is " gone! (they're everywhere!!!!!!!!!) Sounds like you need a hug? and a pat on the back for saying what you did!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hi Kathleen I just had to reply to your email. > His answer was like " Duh. They SmeLL good!

My daugther fell while running at her group tennis lesson this past weekend. Being the good mom and the tennis coaches not having a first aid kit, I fortunately had a bottle of Lavender Hydrosol and some essential oils in my purse. After cleaning her knee and face with the hydrosol, I mixed some jojoba oil with a blend of lavender/chamomile essential oil and applied to her knee and cheek. One of the coaches came over and asked what I was doing. I gave a brief explanation of what I was using and the therapetic value of the oils, at which point his eyes glazed over and said " Well at least she will smell good! " Your story and mine only reinforces the point that the majority of people think aromatherapy is only about smelling good. ~Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
