Well, they're not, actually!

My grand-daughter's friend is having great success clearing up
the psoriasis that has troubled her for years, since she was a
child (25 years ago) with some aromatherapy oils I mixed for her.

She's not the first person I have helped with this problem,
the oldest was 72, and had tried every possible treatment
over the 70 years that he'd had the problem!

I'm with you on this, Anne. I know from personal experience how helpful
aromatherapy can be. A member of our family has just completed the
post-graduate Tisserand course and is going on to do further training. It's
a meticulously careful training and it benefits a great number of people.
But it's not compulsory, so I never do understand why people get in such a
state about it!

It works because YOU want it to work. Rather like Hypnosis. Load of rubbish
but something to 'fall back on' and "believe" in. All a state of mind.

Adulterated quackery.

Except that Rosemary Campbell-Preston who works or did work at Saville
gardens and was knowledgeable about scent said that her daughter could
have an asthma attack brought on by some aromatherapies as one in
particular smelled like a medication she use to have when she had an
asthma attack as a child.
Okay so it's psychological but then that's quote a powerful effect in
itself at times!

I can go straight back to when we first were married and living in Army
quarters if I smell Dettol as the girl across the way used to
disinfectant the stairs once a week with a powerful agent of some type
or other but one sniff now and I'm there in 1970

There's no doubting the power of the mind and I have no axe to grind one way
or the other. But IMO if something works for good and it's psychological
influences, so what? It works where, perhaps, other methods have failed.
Hypnotherapy helped me to overcome my fear of flying (or rather, crashing, I
suppose!) and to stop smoking. It works because, as any good hypnotherapist
will tell you, they work *with* you and your mind, not in spite of it.
However, where aromatherapy is concerned we know that certain plants have
certain medicinal properties and that knowledge has been with us for
centuries. It's like dowsing - those who can't do it scoff at it, those of
us who can know just what it feels like and know that it is not 'in the
imagination'. People have employed dowsers and plant remedies for centuries
because they work. That is NOT to say that I think they should replace
alopathic medicine when it's necessary. That IS a dangerous attitude, IMO.

Massage works to relax muscles, and we all like smelling nice
smells.

Oh here we go again ... Sacha, if you really think dowsing works and
you can surely prove it works because, ahem, "it works", I can
help you to a nice cool $1,000,000 (I know the dollar is not worth what
it used to be worth, but I bet even you'd appreciate the extra few
pennies :-).

And the little dig at "allopathic medicine" ... *Sigh*.

Let me know when you're ready to undergo the dowsing test. I'll split
the winnings with you - $999,999 to you and $1 to me. Sounds fair ?

It was no dig at all. If any of my family are seriously ill we go to a
doctor. I believe that the two can work side by side. The little 'sigh'
dig is childish.

I've already told you what I think about this. I think such things are a
form of gift and I don't think playing with them to 'win' *anything* is
right. I know dowsing works because I've felt the rod move. I've met
dowsers who have found water and metal and those for whom they have found
it. Some charge for their services, many don't because, like me, they see
it as a gift. You haven't, so you don't believe it. I really can't imagine
why it fusses you so much, to be honest.
