Did You Know – There are 6 ways to practice Aromatherapy within the law

Friends,

I was so happy to read this article from Dr. David Stewart, about how there are 6 ways in which we can use our essential oils, or any form of aromatherapy, and use them within the law – meaning, we wouldn’t be called out for practicing medicine without a license.

I was very happy to read that there are six areas in which “it is perfectly legal for anyone to offer assistance and advice and are not “practicing medicine.” They are as follows:

1. First Aid
2. Pain Management
3. Stress Management
4. Cleansing and Detoxification
5. Building for Peak Performance
6. Improving Quality of Life

And isn’t this generally how most YL distributors or essential oil enthusiasts use their essential oils? It sure does make sharing the power of the oils that much more practical and easier.

Dr. Stewart does go on to state:

“There are precautions to be taken when engaging in these six areas. Be sure that you are not “telling people what to do,” but are merely advising them as to the possibilites from which they may choose. Be sure you are not stating a definite claim that an oil or other natural protocol “can definite cure a condition or have definite beneficial effects.” Simply say these natural means “may” have benefit, but there are no guarantees and different people react differently to the same oils and protocols. If we avoid diagnosing, prescribing, prognosticating, or making claims, we remain on the right side of the law.

You can always cite your own personal experiences, which is not practicing medicine, but only telling anecdotes. And, of course, you can always quote data from published sources, attributing what you share to the sources.”

Well said! Thank you, Dr. Stewart!
