Comment on Animal testing – is it relevant? by Robert Tisserand

Crystal, I very nearly didn’t post this at all, because it can easily be seen as negative or aggressive. But, that’s not my motivation – which is to put straight some radical misconceptions about essential oils, based on the science.

Thanks for pointing this out Robert, I find the inconsistancies within publications of leaders in aromatherapy very frustrating. Especially when you continue your education to get clarity and end up more confused. I sure wish we could pull together a bit more.

Very useful article! It is great to know there is possible to treat early signs of skin cancer with other that medicines. Even though it’s not always working and most of it is in experimental phase I am very hopeful this will change. I find the video very informative, and hope many people will try and benefit from what nature has to give.

Comment on Lavender oil – skin savior or skin irritant? by D. KNIGHTON

Thank you. I had been avoiding products with lavender, linalool, limonene etc., ever since I caught an episode of Dr. Oz warning of the dangers of fragraces in cosmetics some time ago. I’ve come to realize the Oz show goes for sensationalism and stopped watching it some time ago – seems to breed paranoia.
Today I finally got around to doing my own research and came across your page amongst others and have decided to reclaim my favorite products with the “offending oils”. Again thank you.

Robert,
You mention that linalool is more prone to oxidation than linalyl acetate. Is this because linalool is an alcohol? If so, should an antioxidant be added to any blend that contains an EO from the alcohol family?
