ESSENTIAL OILS & MEDICAL CLAIMS

9/12/2018

Essential Oils & Medical Claims | The Oil House Essential Oils & Medical Claims
You see them everywhere, claims of miracle cures for everything we experience, giving us health, healing, and a cure for every disease and ailment known to man! With the added benefit of weight loss too! LOL. These days, through the power of the internet, anyone and everyone can make these outlandish claims, on any subject, and whether they are true or not, is really up to you and your own perception, or better yet, your own research of the facts!

There are a few problems with these medical claims however. A lot are unsubstantiated, as the scientific data isn't there for the wealth and variety of human experience throughout the ages. Although herbs and oils have been used for centuries, as yet, not alot of scientific data exists governing the use of such.

​ Sometimes we rely on the witness of another, but when it comes to it, our personal experience may be competely the opposite to what someone else thought, saw, or felt. Right now I'm thinking of a particular movie my sister recommended.... that I recommended to others, and then took them to, and absolutely hated. Zuh. That's the last time I'm recommending something sight unseen! This is especially true when it comes to healing modalities... I like to sit quietly, journal, and pray, and this helps my healing process, but for you, maybe journalling and prayer is not the same experience at all, maybe a soothing massage, or talking things out with a friend is more beneficial to you.

So why is there so much controversy and confusion surrounding essential oils? It is because my own personal experience, your experience, knowledge, country of origin rules and scientific data, is completely different to the next persons'! It is easy enough to debate both sides of an argument. 

​
At times these claims can also be made by those without knowledge or enough experience and the risk is that people can (and do) get hurt. How simple it is to have too much of a good thing, or a reaction to a particular substance! 

Our government through the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia has put checks in place to stop these unsubstantiated and sometimes downright dangerous claims. This is why you will read or see words like: may promote, might help, or "invites." It is also why treatments are not mentioned.

This means that in Australia, our pure essential oils are marketed as "cosmetics", and because of this fact, you will not see any medical claims made in terms of pure essential oils on this website. This is not to say we do not believe in the usefulness and benefits of essential oils for many purposes, it is just that it is unethical (and illegal) to do so.

​ One product may benefit someone greatly, but be dangerous for another. We are not your health care provider, and we cannot give individual advice.
It is against the policy of the company that we choose to stock to make any such medical claims. You may, however, discover that there are many bloggers and websites listing these benefits, but this just means that they are either; not under Australian law due to being in a different country, governed by different laws due to the nature of the product they market, or "running the gauntlet" and disregarding the rules. This is why you will read, by those who are compliant, words like: may promote, might help, or "invites." It is also why treatments to particular body ailments are not mentioned.

All that being said, we do, wholeheartedly, believe in the wonderful benefits of essential oils for your every day life! Do we have any scientific papers to show facts that speak to the power of essential oils? No... we don't. (They are out there though, if you are willing to look.) We do however have a good ol’ fashioned personal recommendations from many a satisfied customer.

You won’t know the difference you can make to the youthfulness of your skin or dry hair until you give it a whirl. You won’t believe the pure concentrated scent of floral sweetness, or warm spice and the feeling it brings wafting through your home. Ever had a massage with some of these oils? The warming, or the cooling effect, and then they transport you to another place... a far off spice market, or warm summer day in a field of wildflowers. {no joke. it happens}

With essential oils, its important to use common sense. Read the label. Check with your healthcare provider if you are on medication, pregnant or breast feeding. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so use only a drop or two- seriously- just a drop or two at a time. They last a long time! {well, unless you use them all day, every day, like some!}

Our essential oils also keep indefinitely if stored in a cool dark spot. (We have a few cases in our essential oil accessories collection like the one below) I've had some essential oils for a few years in the cupboard, opened them again yesterday- still perfect! Thats when you know you've purchased a quality grade oil. Our oils keep indefinitely when stored correctly.

I hope you enjoy your essential oils, understand how to use them safely, and you find them effective for you and your family. Have you ever tried herbs or oils for therapeutic use? What have your experiences been like?

    Hi, Im Rebecca,
    G'day from Tropical North Queensland, home of the Great Barrier Reef. Most days you'll find me barefoot, in a flowy boho dress, my head in the clouds. I have always been passionate about herbs and natural living. Essential oils are something I stumbled upon in my natural healing journey, and fell in love with their powerful benefits. Now can't see how I ever lived without them! Join me...and find your own kind of natural.
