The broad principal of the aromatherapy is that there are certain aromas that have a desirable impact on the body although these claims could not be proved through clinical researches, say the Grupo Mayan experts. The only thing that we know that the practical experience proved that the aromatic essential oils have a proven effect in some cases as antibacterial or antiviral. It was also proven that an essential oil in a mouthwash would be of great benefit.

Some data collected from research made some time ago said that the aromatherapy could help people to deal with their fear of closed places when undergoing MRI scans. Also other study findings are the relaxing effect that occurred in the state of body and mind, comment the Grupo Mayan experts.

Any viewer of the scientific researches about aromatherapy would discover easily that they are very weak and most of the cures are based on findings, not on a scientific experiment and proof, say the Grupo Mayan experts.
Bottom line, till now all the uses of the aromatic essential oils are based upon the findings in vivo without solid results in vitro to support these claims.

Safety measurements
In addition to this, there are some safety measures that you must apply when you use the essential oil, as recommended by the Grupo Mayan experts. First, do not use the essential oil as it is without dilution as it may be very harmful to the skin, it may cause serious inflammations if used with its pure concentration. The best way to use essential oil is to add few drops to an oz of oil to be used on the skin.

When you are choosing your carrier oil, say the Grupo Mayan experts, be aware of the sun light toxicity that may occur with some oils. Lime peel oil may cause toxicity if used in the direct sunlight. Take care not to leave the carrier oil container open, as it may be toxic to your pets.

The lavender oil and the tea tree oil may be a cause to abnormal tissue growth in the breast area, although there is no solid proof for the relation between the oils and the symptoms but just one insignificant study stated that this occurred in two out of three kids.

In all cases, say the Grupo Mayan experts, you should take good care when using aromatherapy especially if you are pregnant and lactating women. Most of the regularly used oils for massage and topical use are toxic and poisonous if taken internally. For example, a teaspoonful of eucalyptus is more than sufficient to initiate the toxic reaction. When using essential oils topically those have the same active ingredients as other ingested medicines could be of an adverse effect.
