Herb functions vs AT/EO functions of same plant

[Guest guest]

Dear List Mates,

 

I am hoping someone will save me a whole lot of time

researching, at tell me if the functions of a plant

ingested as an herb are much different than the same

plant EO used in aromatherapy? And if so, is there a

" rule of the thumb " for the differences? Like, say,

the EO/AT use is usually much more on the mental,

emotional plane or some such.

 

The recent thread on Vitex got me curious about this.

It seems to be very much concerned with hormones

whether in herbal tincture or EO form, but still I

wonder at the differences. I am not well versed in

aromatherapy yet nor in Western herbs.

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Christina
