It is Gattefossé that is credited with essential wholesale coining the term aromatherapy in 1928 within an article where he supports wholesale essential oil the use of using essential oils in their whole without breaking them down into wholesale essential oils their primary chemical constituents. In 1937, Gattefossé wrote a essential oil wholesale book called Aromathérapie: Les Huiles essentielles hormones essential oils wholesale végétales that was later translated into English and named Gattefossé's Aromatherapy. It is still in print and widely wholesale natural oils read.

Gattefossé certainly had no idea 70 years essential oil company ago that aromatherapy would become the field it is wholesale aromatherapy today and that the term that he genuinely meant to refer to a natural export essential oils healing modality would be snatched up and misused as a marketing essential oils wholesale buzzword.

Should Aromatherapy be Renamed?
Robert Tisserand, the an English aromatherapist wholesale organic oils who was responsible for being one of the first individuals to essential oil supplier bring knowledge and education of aromatherapy to English speaking lavender oil wholesale nations, has written several books and articles including the highly jojoba oil wholesale respected 1977 publication The Art of Aromatherapy. The Art of mint oil wholesale Aromatherapy was the first aromatherapy book to be published in English.

I recall a lively correspondence that I enjoyed with Mr. Tisserand several years ago regarding the confusion over the term aromatherapy. In brief, we both agreed that the term linalool wholesale is confusing and does not fully capture what the field is all about, and we shared our comments over wholesale chemical products the dilemmas in changing the name of this valuable holistic field. Though there is agreement amongst many that the chemical suppliers term aromatherapy is misleading, little has been able to be done to solve the dilemma. We cannot magically snap our fingers wholesale chemical compounds and instantly change the term aromatherapy to something immediately accepted by all and that doesn't frequently draw clouded assumptions.

The dilemmas that exist include the following:
Common agreement does not exist on what single word or brief aromatic chemical phrase would clarify what holistic aromatherapy entails.

What body would be given wholesale herbal extract the authority and would hold the confidence by those in the field and society in general to officially decide upon a new term?
