I personally have no faith in studies or surveys done by companies who sell the item being studied. They make very specific recommendations about how much of the more toxic essential oils should be diluted before applying to the skin. Besides the evaluations performed by the expert panel, an important step in maintaining credibility involves the publication of its findings and conclusions in a peer-reviewed and accredited scientific journal. Their evaluations are based on existing data or, where insufficient data exist, on testing performed by RIFM itself. Organizations like International Fragrance Research Association (link on our website) base their essential oil safety recommendations on an international panel of experts, made up of toxicologists, pharmacologists and dermatologists who have no commercial ties to the fragrance industry, and whose work involves the safety evaluation of fragrance materials under conditions of intended use. I used to disregard or ignore some safety cautions a long time ago and now I realize how very important these cautions are, especially to those individuals with histories of allergies, extra sensitive people or just those with chronic poor health. It is a big issue and I am more aware than ever before of specific safety aspects like sensitization, because of some of my own health issues. Since receiving your email I have taken some time to gather and reread National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) articles about essential oil safety. I know you are a member of the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) and I would like to know your opinion.Īnswer: Thank you very much for sending the email about Young Living raindrop therapy. Young Living is compiling testimonies from those involved with this technique and hope to publish the findings to further promote the use of Raindrop Therapy. He personally had done this technique 50 times with maybe 15-20 clients. He has had only one experience which was reported negative, a person who suffers from candida experienced a “die-off’ reaction. Question: In talking with a “Raindrop Technique” practitioner (Young Living Essential Oils), I learned that Thyme and Oregano Essential Oils are used neat (undiluted) on the skin during this technique.
