Essential Oils and Cancer

Proceedings of the 4th Wholistic Aromatherapy Conference, San Francisco, Nov 10-12, 2000.

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.

Masters Series Volume 2: The Biology of Essential Oils

The fact that essential oils are produced by living organisms is too often lost in the shuffle of commerce. Indeed, commercial essential oils are more often than not only partially derived from a specific plant and partially constructed in the laboratory. While the primary reason for adulteration is to cut cost, the readiness with which the marketplace accepts those adulterated oils reflects a severe lack of understanding of how and why products from a living organism are different from those from a chemical factory. Efforts to establish quality standards through chemical analysis, while important and useful, have also helped to blur the distinction and somehow created an impression of equivalence between natural and synthetic substances.

Masters Series Volume 3: Aromatherapy Lifestyle

The therapeutic use of essential oils in the framework of aromatherapy has become a fact of life. As aromatherapy has grown and diversified it has become clear that the idea of generating scientific data to convince the medical mainstream has given way to an understanding that the most rewarding features of essential oil use cannot be adequately described with the language of reductionism, but rather with narratives from more wholistic disciplines. Nonetheless, this Part III of the PIA Masters series focuses on those aspects of essential oil therapy which do correspond to the western pharmacological paradigm.
