Essential Oils – The Legal Pitfalls Making false claims, diagnosis or prescribing

[ad_1]

For many just discovering tremendous healing power of essential oils, there is a temptation to want to tell the whole world about the new discovery. Not only to share this information, but they also want to put oil on just about everyone in their path. Here is the first red flag. Be careful not to make false claims about these healing oils and do not diagnose the problem and recommend some natural healing materials such as essential oils. It is forbidden by law to make false “disease claims” on essential oils, herbs, or supplements. Neither can “analyze” or “recommend” that are medical terms that apply only for those individuals who are authorized to identify and measure. As an expert, you may be legally liable. What is a false claim? Here are some examples of “disease claims:” The essential oils-

o cure cancer

o To reduce the symptoms of cold, flu and sore throat

o Anti -tumoral

o Anti-virus

o Anti-bacterial

o help control prostate enlargement

o renews healthy intestinal flora

or antidepressants

o Anti-inflammatory

o Anti-microbial

o Anti-fungal

o Anti-parasitic

or anticoagulants

o lowers the risk of [name of disease]

o lowers cholesterol

o Reduces the pain associated with the disease

Even though studies show all the above to be true research lacks double-blind studies on a grand scale. At this point in our healthcare system, only pharmaceutical drug companies this kind of money and they are not going to study the effectiveness of natural products on the ground that they can not patent. These requirements therefore can not be owned or laid out by anyone except medical doctor. In fact, I recommend that you do not discuss problems unless you are medically trained. Nurses are medically trained and therefore it is within our permission to discuss the disease and not on our license to diagnose or prescribe unless the nurse practitioner is authorized to do so.

What can we safely say about these oils and how they work? Here are some suggestions:

o Promote good health

o makes you feel good

o Improves nutrition, thus optimizing health

o are immune Enhancing

o support natural defense system

o Support the immune, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous and other body systems

o Assistance in maintaining normal cell renewal

o tempered rising

o Are antiseptic (topical use only)

o are high in antioxidants

o aromatic

o Are oxygenating

o Boost stamina and energy

o help you relax

o Help manage stress and frustration

So rather than analyze and check, we can suggest ways the body can be restored to health. We can research on the health problems and provide additional information; and we can offer stories. Simply replace drugs with herbs and essential oils not serve the client well. Teach others how to balance their bodies naturally the way God intended will serve much better. How can we do this? By looking at the body system that is not working and offer support for the organs.

Educational courses in aromatherapy help you use essential oils properly and know how to discuss healing abilities to the public without making false claims, diagnosis and prescription.
