Recently my alternative
healthcare practitioner recommended aromatherapy for my depression. Does it
work?
There are many therapies in alternative healthcare that are downright scams and aromatherapy is one of them. There is ZERO proof that this therapy has any medical benefits, except for a soothing massage. Business minded people now prey on desperately ill patients offering them false hopes and scamming them of their hard earned money. Aromatherapy is simply the use of oils extracted from a variety of plants. These oils are then massaged on your skin. There is no doubt that the massage will make you feel great but as far as its healing properties are concerned-that is BS.

Be prepared to pay a big
bundle for these sessions because these therapists will give you some bogus
reason for enrolling in multiple sessions for many months. In addition, you may
also develop an allergic reaction to these products. By the time you are
done with aromatherapy, you will have paid enough money for a down payment on a
new car for the therapist-and your depression will be worse.
