Why is Aromatherapy different to the tablets from a GP?
In many ways it isn’t different at all. Firstly, the actual products can be very similar, for example aspirin is a synthetic copy of the plant Willow Bark. Secondly, the aim of both forms of treatment is to get the molecules into the blood stream.
When you take a GP’s tablet the molecules get in by travelling through your gut wall. In aromatherapy Essential Oils enter by being rubbed into the skin or the molecules are breathed in and enter via your lungs - if you have ever seen anyone using an inhaler you will know that is the quickest way to get a drug into the body.
Remember, aromatherapy isn’t new - until the First World War it was all there was. On the battlefields of the Somme, Lavender was all they had to help pain, sterilise wounds and help sleep.
