Yes, if it is not listed in my manual you can presume it has not been

tested, AND most important, the information published. I know for

example that in the RIFM private members database they do have

information on other extracts, but until such time as that

information is published in a scientific journal it is not valid.

 

Aromatherapists, natural perfume makers and suchlike have for years

been mislead on safety issues by AT suppliers who do not care about

anything other than selling the latest 'novel or new' extracts. They

will latch on to any unevaluated reports that come to their

attention, and sell products hiding behind " my customers have never

reported an adverse reaction " . Try asking for that information and

see how far it gets you!
