Theos-Talk Archives (March 1999 Message tt00065)

MKR,

My wife has studied aromatherapy extensively and we use it almost everyday
for one reason or another. Lavender, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Neroli,
Lemon, Jasmine, Rose etc all have various uses that I can vouch for. This
is why in a book such as the Skeptics Guide (herein SGTTNA) if one entry
can be proven to be wrong then that must cast doubt on all entries.
