Research?

[dremedilllk]

Does anyone know where I can find current research on Aromatherapy or have you conducted any research yourself? For my Aromatherapy assignment I need to include some new research. I've looked on the web but the new studies all seem to be about 10 years old!!

Thanks
Sonia

Hi Sonia. I would also like to know of any. I have found so far that any research that has been done has only been of a very small scale. I did attend a conference on researching therapies earlier this year at NEWI in Wales and there were some people there who were doing their own research. To be honest the person who had conducted a trial on aromatherapy didn't convince me the way she had set it up. It was full of holes and I couldnt see what she would prove.

There are small bits of research done at hospitals by nurses who do therapies, but of course, money is a key issue. Without the backing of the drugs companies it's pretty woeful!

Doing your own research is very time consuming and can be very tricky from what I gather. I did learn of a website when I was studying reflexology but couldn't find it.[&:] Mmmm you have got me thinking now, I did come across something, I'll try and find it.
