Consumer Cautions/Alerts
Aromatherapy is an incredibly large unregulated field. Although
that does have its benefits for the time being, as a consumer you
may be in for trouble. We at NAHA have been recipients of many complaints
and concerns regarding the practices and products of many companies.
Since we are non-profit we will not affiliate ourselves with any
one particular entity but feel it is imperative to offer information
we feel is the most appropriate for safe practice and to protect
you, the consumer from being taken advantage of. Since we are only
one association we welcome your comments and concerns. We file your
complaints of other entities and individuals and once we have 3-5
consistent issues sourced and verified issues we will be doing our
own research for potential inclusion in this section. Since there
are many different views on the subject of safety and essential
oil practice and use, we have decided to include statements from
those we feel have the most accurate and well substantiated information.
Professional Views
on Safety and Essential Oils Practice.
Although I would never particularly claim that essential oils cannot
benefit from a variety of practices there are common sense, rules
of thumb, questions to ask as follows:
Have you ever heard of this technique, product or service benefiting
any amount of people?
Can you find 3-5 resources supporting this technique, product or
service?
Can you find 3-5 resources not supporting this technique, product
or service?
Have you researched all that is involved in this technique, product
or service, for example:
Would you typically use a product in this manner safely? What are
the ingredients that go into the product – are they safe,
natural, well noted for their benefits? Are there any notations
clearly linking this to be unsafe?
Is the service new and/or has it had any substantiated claims, positive
or negative in nature?
Please note: Although we do not endorse or criticize any
one particular company, product, practice, or the like we are interested
in providing you with information so that you as the consumer may
make the most appropriate decision for you, your family and your
safety. Due to varying degrees of experience and levels of comfort
we understand you may or may not find this information useful –
