Aromatherapy Not Effective?
Today I was perusing one of my professional journals and there was a snippet on the ineffectiveness of aromatherapy on health.

I was simply amazed that this journal would continue to publicize what I feel are not conclusive, definitive findings. Several weeks prior I read the study (Journal of Psychoneuroendocrinology) and simply discounted it as not a very well grounded study. In addition to it being a small study the researchers looked at only two aromas. Later, CBS-”the media”- jumped on the bandwagon too.
