There is scientific proof of the benefits of "essential oils/aromatherapy". And of course if like anything can be distorted and sold to the gullible
like the "potions" Pescador posted.
The same has been said about my profession which is becoming more and more accepted by the medical field and layman alike.

if your profession is chiropractic, homeopathy, or non-allopathic medicine, or anything along that nature, i am in total agreement and in full
support.

The movie Perfume.... I've seen it and recommend it for everyone's viewing enjoyment.
Acudoc.... Ever since a serious back injury, acupuncture has kept me walking. Obviously I'm a firm believer. And yes, it is becoming a more accepted
treatment for many ailments. I've heard that even Kaiser Permanente offers acupuncture treatments for a reasonable co-pay.

dianaji - Medicare pays for chiropractic. Of course, your chiropractor needs to be willing to accept Medicare payments.

Hey Doc how does "AcuScent Aromapuncture Therapy" grab ya.
You could employ the use of smells to cover multiple bases. Alleviate pain and improve their mood at the same time.
Methinks you guys are on to sumpin'! Diana, think of the possibilities here; "Triggerfish over a mesquite fire aroma therapy", "broiled lobster
aroma therapy"
"scallops with garlic sauce scent", "Baja dirt road essence" and the list goes on!
Now yer talkin' my language!
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

Placebos are also shown to have remarkably effective results. It's all in your head...............

A placebo effect does not mean it doesn't work...it just means we don't know why it works.
"Belief is powerful medicine, even if the treatment itself is a sham. New research shows placebos can also benefit patients who do not have faith in
them"

I'm glad acupuncture worked for you. Just like western or any other form of medicine it is not for everyone for everything but it can be very useful
for many people for many problems. In 1996 the AMA deemed acupuncture needles were medical devices.

I'm a licensed acupuncturist and before that a professional licensed massage therpist for a total of 22 years. I got into the field after several knee
surgeries and a massive subluxation of C6-7. Massage was part of my therapy for my operations.
When I blew my neck out and in severe pain I was working with a couple doctors. They sent me to a couple specialists and they all said I needed
surgery and fusion. To make a long story short due to the results a friend of mine had for back pain I decided to try acupuncture first. I was "cured"
in 3 weeks and it's been close to 20 years and it has never come back.
In my practice I use different therapeutic modalites in conjuction with traditional chinese medicine theory. For essential oils I'd take a q-tip and
swab an acupuncture point. For example if someone was dealing with stress and needs to relax I'd use an essential oil known for its relaxation
qualities and then swab acupuncture points traditionally used to relieve stress and calm the mind and body.
One modality I started using a few years ago is vibrational therapy which is the use of medical tuning forks. Just like acupuncture, essential oils
and even western medicine is all based on the fact that the body is energy. So again using TCM theory I use medical tuning forks of specific
frequencies that can tonify or sedate and acupuncture point just like I can with a needle, other frequencies have other therapeutic value. My
patients really seem to like this approach and it is very useful for those patients that have a fear of needles.

I've been on the Baja boards since the days of the old "Amigos" board. I don't post like I used to very much but do read the board on a consistant
basis. Mostly I post on the www.vivasancarlos.com board (the political board, I'm a junkie) for the last few years.
Unfortunately the next time I plan on going to Baja won't be until April 2011...yikes
Do you practice using essential oils? You stated that you mix blends?

Aromatherapy as well as accupuncture are "known" to have positive effects on many health ailments if one properly researches them. Lavendar oil is
also a good flea deterrant for pets.

Yeah, my dog would love it. She'd repay my efforts by finding a pile of $#!+ to roll in.
