Proceedings of the 4th Wholistic Aromatherapy Conference, San Francisco, Nov 10-12, 2000.
New Perspectives:
Essential oils are more powerful tools than even the most ardent enthusiasts have imagined. Recent research demonstrates the antitumor effects of numerous essential oil components through in vitro experiments with breast, lung and pancreatic cancer tissue as well as melanoma. The surprising effectiveness of Vitex agnus castus is demonstrated in an impressive survey of 35 women using it for PMS and/or menopausal problems.
