TAP CRAP ** What is True Aromatherapy?

[Guest guest]

Hey Chuck,

 

> Hello all:

> Found this definition on a web site tonight and it is the first time I have

ever heard or seen this one. Is this true, that products will be labeled as

such? Who is making that decision? Another YL ploy? I guess we'll all 'tap'

into it eventually........;>)

It was a wild butt, greedy and crony supporting idea back even before

Jade destroyed NAHA .. back in Cheryl Hoard's time as NAHA Dictator.

The intent was in many ways similar as that of the ARC .. to corner and

control elements of the Aromatherapy business. It was about power, and

greed .. and ego.

 

Back then I wrote a scathing discourse of the lack of credibility of the

idea and the fact that the vested interests were so obvious that only

the stupid could not see who would benefit. And I laid them out for the

stupid.

 

A particular chemist was on the inside of the gud ol' boy/gal system ..

though it was never OFFICIALLY declared that he would be the analyst of

record for the ridiculous label .. it was known by those who were paying

attention. So I immediately coined a term that was used for some time

until the idea went to hell in a hand basket .. I started titling all my

posts as you see in the subject above and it sorta caught on.

 

Bottom line .. its not gonna happen .. never was. At least, not till

after the battle and some folks aren't so good when it comes to doing

battle on lists case the winners are normally those who see through the

deception and have no personal gain at stake.

>> What is " True Aromatherapy " ?

>> Real aromatherapy, a.k.a. " True Aromatherapy " is not simply the use of

products containing fragrance. Pure essential oils from plants, which have not

been adulterated with synthetic substances or additives, must ideally be of the

finest quality and appear in the product in quantities considered to be

therapeutic.

>> Over the past decade, many commercial companies have capitalized on

aromatherapy's popularity and introduced products into the marketplace that do

not contain plant-derived essential oils, but petrochemical-derived synthetic

fragrances instead. Currently, no regulations prevent scented products from

being labeled " Aromatherapy. " Consumers can educate themselves by researching

label ingredients: products containing the word " fragrance " typically contain

synthetic scents and not essential oils. Within the coming years, expect to see

True Aromatherapy Products identified with the designation " TAP. "
