The guineapig challenge
I've had this idea that essential oil users could become guinea-pigs in observational studies of how essential oils work on our own bodies.
An observational study requires the description of the three elements:
1) the ailment (and health profile and case-history of the person with the ailment);
2) the treatment oil(s) and carrier used (plus batch numbers, and GC-MS with list of constituents) application method(s), dosage, frequency of dosage and length of time the treatment was continued for and;
3) the response(s), including any unexpected effects or adverse effects (so-called ‘side-effects’). If possible, before-and-after photographs taken at the same angle, in the same light are helpful, as well as written descriptions.
