        My dear Al,
 
    Be sure that Natural Medicine is not anymore an empiric method as it
may be still
in Papua New Guinea or similar areas on our Earth.
 
    There are many thousands of studies related to the essential oils...
    Most of the active compounds from the essential oils have been
studied
as you suggest above...
 
    Germany, United Kingdom, France have already a good tradition in
this.
 
    Aromatherapy, like apitherapy too, has strong scientific bases.
 
    If you want to find these bases and take advantage of them,
you need to work (study) a bit more, and open first your mind and
soul...
 
 
        Kind regards,

PS Our intuition and imagination (creativity) can develop only if we
eliminate the "scare" from our mind...
