THE AROMA OF CHOICE

by Dorene Petersen, BA, Dip.NT, Dip.Acu, RH (AHG) President, American College of Healthcare Sciences This article first appeared in the NAHA Aromatherapy Journal, Edition Summer 2014 and has been revised for publication here on the IJPHA Blog. Some of my favorite summertime activities in the States are gathering with friends and family for picnics and parties on the patio, at the park, or at the beach—especially on the Fourth of July. Even though I’m originally from New Zealand, there’s something about this celebration of freedom that fills me with hope and excitement for all the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead. We’ve worked hard to build a society for ourselves where we are not discriminated against, where we can speak and write freely, and when we feel things need to change, we have the right to petition our law-makers. Yet, change is a process that takes time, particularly in the holistic health industry. Citizens seeking more natural approaches to healthcare have long had restricted access to services from natural medicine practitioners, such as Registered Aromatherapists (RA). Aromatherapy and the Law In many states, a practitioner can be criminally charged with practicing medicine without a license for offering alternative therapies such as herbal medicine, homeopathy,[1] and aromatherapy. This is also the root issue that spawned the “Health Freedom” movement, which supports patients’ rights to access alternative treatments and health practitioners of their choosing. So what does this mean for aromatherapists? While the Aromatherapy Registration Council[2] (ARC) offers registration through an extensive exam ensuring RAs have demonstrated a core body of knowledge and commitment to safety standards and ethics, the ARC makes it clear that, legally, “it is important to realize that the ARC Aromatherapy Registration Exam and the ARC Registration in no way constitutes a license to practice medicine, diagnose, or treat patients.”[3] California law provides a useful example of this type of restriction: “The unlawful practice of medicine is defined as: ‘Any person who practices or attempts to practice, or who advertises or holds him or herself out as practicing, any system or mode of treating the sick or afflicted in this state, or who diagnoses, treats, operates for, or prescribes for any ailment, blemish, deformity, disease, disfigurement, disorder, injury, or other physical or mental condition of any person…’ CA Stat. Sec. 2052.”[4] Considering the many uses and therapeutic service benefits of essential oils, the wording above makes providing a therapeutic aromatherapy consultancy fraught with pitfalls in the state of California, even as a Registered Aromatherapist through the ARC. However, positive change is on the horizon. The National Health Freedom Coalition (NHFC) is an organization formed with the purpose of promoting and advocating for Health Freedom laws across the United States. As of 2013, there are nine states that have Health Freedom laws, including Arizona, Minnesota, California, Colorado, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Idaho, and New Mexico. Because legislation varies from state to state, RAs should be vigilantly aware of and compliant with relevant legislation and reform within the state where they practice. The NHFC maintains a listing of the state advocacy groups which can be accessed through their website.[5] Safe Harbor and Health Freedom Laws: How Do They Affect Aromatherapists? Health Freedom and safe harbor laws mean greater opportunity for Registered Aromatherapists to practice ethically without fear of violating the rigid and over-arching definitions of “practicing medicine without a license.” The legal structure of a safe harbor bill or law can allow non-licensed practitioners to legally operate, as long as they comply with the provisions stated within the safe harbor law. For example, in 2009, New Mexico passed the safe harbor law, “Unlicensed Health Care Practice Act,” which specifically places aromatherapy under the definition of “‘complementary and alternative health care service’ [defined as] the broad domain of complementary and alternative healing methods and treatments.”[6] This means that an aromatherapist is protected from being in violation of New Mexico medical licensing laws as long as (s)he complies with the provisions listed within the act. Section 3 states: A complementary and alternative health care practitioner who is not licensed, certified or registered in New Mexico as a health care practitioner shall not be in violation of any licensing law relating to health care services pursuant to Chapter 61 NMSA 1978 unless that individual: A. engages in any activity prohibited in Section 4 of the Unlicensed Health Care Practice Act; or B. fails to fulfill the duties set forth in Section 5 of the Unlicensed Health Care Practice Act.[7] One important provision to note in Section 5 of the New Mexico “Unlicensed Health Care Practice Act” is the requirement for the aromatherapist to supply an “informational document” to the patient or client. This is more commonly known as an “informed consent” document. This is a common provision within many safe harbor bills in the U.S., including Louisiana,[8] Minnesota[9] (which also specifically refers to aromatherapy), Rhode Island,[10] and California.[11] This document can be labeled differently in different states—you may see it called something like a “client bill of rights” or “disclosure.” Under New Mexico law, the informational document notifies the patient or client: of the nature and expected results of the aromatherapy services to be provided that the aromatherapist is not a healthcare practitioner licensed by the state of New Mexico of the aromatherapists’s degrees, education, training, experience, or other qualifications regarding aromatherapy of many other details surrounding the aromatherapist’s background as well as the patient’s rights to honesty and privacy[12] Some of these states require this “bill of rights” to be visibly posted within the aromatherapist’s office as well as an individual hard copy document. While this type of requirement varies state to state, many Registered Aromatherapists find it useful to provide an informed consent document regardless of the law. The New Mexico Complimentary and Alternative Medicine Project LLC. (NMCAAMP) has a useful checklist for creating this informational document for New Mexico practitioners, which can be found on their website[13]: www.nmcaamp.org. While a great number of states are still without Health Freedom laws, many holistic health advocates are campaigning for safe harbor bills. Melissa Toye, an ACHS graduate and owner of the natural products company Midwest Herbs and Oils, is currently advocating for a safe harbor bill in Missouri.[14] States Without Health Freedom Laws It’s extremely encouraging to see our industry progressing. However, even though our society and the allopathic medical community are becoming more comfortable with the idea of alternative modalities like aromatherapy, there are still many states without Health Freedom laws. As with any healthcare practice, it’s essential that a Registered Aromatherapist be highly informed about the laws of his or her state in order to legally practice aromatherapy in a state without a safe harbor law. Legislation varies from state to state, and I would highly encourage all aromatherapists to visit their state’s legislative website and review the laws relating to healthcare and practicing medicine. But I would also like to offer a few basic guidelines and key functions—the do’s and don’ts—of a Registered Aromatherapist. Let’s start by discussing what an aromatherapist does not do: Diagnose disease: An aromatherapist is free to evaluate a client and determine possible causes of imbalance, but he or she cannot diagnose disease, and should always refer clients back to their primary care physician for a diagnosis when necessary. Treat disease: As with diagnostics, the aromatherapist does not focus on disease, but rather shares helpful information with clients, empowering them to take control of their own health and wellness. Prescribe drugs or pharmaceuticals: An aromatherapist offers education surrounding essential oils, herbs, natural remedies, and holistic nutrition. Perform invasive procedures or touch therapies without licensing: Registration through ARC does not license an aromatherapist to perform touch therapies such as reflexology, chiropractics, or massage. However, if an aromatherapist is also a licensed chiropractor or massage therapist, the modalities can be used in tandem with one another if it is within the scope of practice of the profession. There are still many ways an aromatherapist can be a helpful and useful holistic health practitioner without resorting to the “don’ts” listed above. An aromatherapist does… Understand good health and recognizes that it requires a holistic approach, including fresh water, physical activity, fresh air and sun, plenty of rest, and a focus on proper nutrition. Share knowledge about achieving and maintaining health and wellness regularly with essential oils, homeopathics, herbs, and other natural modalities. Evaluate each client with a holistic approach, recognizing that daily nutrition, the environment, and lifestyle choices have a large impact on health and wellness. Empower their client to achieve improved health by addressing any imbalances caused by poor sleep quality, imbalanced nutrition, and any other negative lifestyle habits. Recognize when allopathic healthcare is needed, and is always prepared to refer a client to their primary care physician for diagnosis and/or treatment. Ambassadors for Aromatherapy and Natural Medicine While the Health Freedom movement is growing and legislation is changing, aromatherapists have an obligation to uphold the highest standards and ethics to maintain integrity within our industry. This requires vigilance when working with essential oils for clinical use. It’s important, for example, that an essential oil is not labeled to imply that it’s intended for use in the diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. This type of claim categorizes the oil as a drug, and all “new drugs” require approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). So, for example, as an aromatherapist you cannot say, “This oil is supportive for cholesterol.” Though the statement does not include the word “treat,” it implies cholesterol is high. Registered Aromatherapists should always choose the highest quality of pure, unadulterated essential oils. This requires a thorough knowledge of sourcing, production, distillation, and labeling. There are many unregulated and misleading terms when it comes to essential oils such as: “spray free,” “all natural,” “therapeutic grade,” and “CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®.” These are unregulated marketing terms, and in no way mean the oils are truly pure, organic, or unadulterated, and often lead consumers to falsely believe that they are superior to Certified Organic essential oils. We are ambassadors for the practice of aromatherapy. With all of these exciting changes, it’s ever more important to maintain the upmost integrity when practicing aromatherapy. I often find it helpful to re-read the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy’s Code of Ethics[15], the AIA Code of Ethics[16], the AIA Standards of Practice[17], and the ARC Disciplinary Policy[18]. I am encouraged by the progress we have made in our efforts to make aromatherapy and other natural modalities more readily available and accepted. The road to Health Freedom is long, but I couldn’t be more excited to be part of such a courageous and inspiring community of healthcare practitioners.

Top 10 Essential Oils to beat colds and flu

As the temperature changes from the warmer summer days, to the cooler fall air, this season often brings with it the inevitable cold and flu. This year however, instead of taking pills, try swapping your meds for essential oils, some of which work wonders in helping the body heal faster when a cold or the flu surfaces. They are a great natural remedy, with a plethora of health benefits and can be used either through inhalation or through skin absorption. To get the most out of essential oils and their benefits, create a blend of one of the essential oils (12 drops), combined well with 30ml of a carrier oil, such as cold-pressed olive oil, or coconut oil. To help alleviate the symptoms of a cold and flu, at night, rub the blend at the sole of your foot and wear socks. Throughout the day, rub the blend in the palms of your hand, placing them over your nostrils and inhaling. Meanwhile, you can learn more about how essential oils work and how they could be used to alleviate pain here.

Top 10 Essential Oils for Colds and Flu

Oregano

This antiviral and antibacterial oil helps boost the immune system and is ideal for combating infections. In your healing process, use oregano essential oil as a natural hand sanitizer, combining 10 drops of oregano oil with two tablespoons of coconut oil, and rubbing it into your hands. Besides, fighting against germs, it will also help keep your hands soft and smooth. Be warned though, this essential oil is pretty potent - using it on broken skin may cause irritation, so go easy on small cuts.

Lime

Lime is antiseptic, antibacterial and antiviral - three important properties that will help your immune system fight off germs. Lime is also beneficial in treating fevers. Due to its antiallergenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic substance, it can help alleviate and reduce fever.

Peppermint

Beneficial for the respiratory system, peppermint provides effective relief for nasal congestion, asthma, bronchitis, as well as the common cold and cough. If you're feeling stuffed or cannot stop coughing, try a peppermint essential oil steam, by draping a towel over your head and breathing in the steam from a bowl of hot water, mixed with a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil.

Thyme

Use this oil to give your immune system a boost. Thyme essential oil will also give your liver a detox. This essential oil can also be used to treat respiratory infections. It is an excellent pulmonary disinfectant, and besides being useful against colds and the flu, thyme is also ideal to use for asthma, catarrh, coughs, whooping cough and bronchitis. Extensive research has also discovered that thyme helps to increase mucus secretions to relieve dry coughs.

Frankincense

If you're suffering from a cough, frankincense is said to be a natural remedy for the lungs. It is also recommended for asthma and bronchitis. Just add 2 to 3 drops of frankincense essential oil in 1 ounce carrier oil. Rub the blend thoroughly on your chest.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is often found in cough drops and ointments (you've likely smelled it in VapoRub) due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. One other fantastic property of Eucalyptus is its ability to stimulate the immune system and combat inflammation in the lungs. In fact, it is the perfect remedy for healing a sinus infection. All you need to do is add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to a bowl or pot of steaming, hot water. Drape a towel over your head, close your eyes and breathe deeply for instant relief. The oil contains anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties which help reduce the swelling of mucous membranes.

Hyssop

Perhaps one of hyssop's greatest benefits lies in its ability to lower body temperature and fever. It is also an ideal essential oil to use if you suffer from chronic bronchitis, or respiratory infections, including a pesky cough that won't go away.

Lemon

Colds and fever may sometimes cause earaches or swelling in your lymph nodes, which may result in you feeling all the more worse. Try rubbing some lemon oil (combined with a carrier oil) around your ears and/or lymph nodes, to allow them to drain. Using lemon essential oil will also help you feel more energized, particularly when you're feeling run-down.

Clove

This essential oil is especially used as a remedy for toothaches. But due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-bacterial properties, clove is great at alleviating colds and flu too. It is often mixed with cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary, in a blend called Thieves Oil.

Ginger

When you're feeling a little under the weather, the flu may also have you feeling a little nauseous. In this case, you should opt for ginger essential oil. This can also soothe flu-related aches and pains.

What is Complementary and Alternative Medicine??

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a broad term that covers a range of healing therapies, such as: Acupuncture Chiropractic Massage Herbs and nutritional supplements Diet Mind-body therapies Naturopathic medicine Homeopathy Aromatherapy Energy therapies Bodywork Ayurvedic medicine Traditional Chinese medicine Yoga One of the most widely accepted definitions of complementary and alternative medicine comes from David Eisenberg, MD, director of Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies at Harvard University: "Complementary and Alternative Medicine are those practices explicitly used for medical intervention, health promotion, or disease prevention which are not routinely taught at United States medical schools, nor routinely underwritten by third party payers within the existing United States health care system." The National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) defines Complementary and Alternative Medicine in a similar way, as "a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine." These definitions of complementary and alternative medicine don't address how the underlying philosophy of these approaches are different from conventional medicine. Generally, complementary and alternative therapies follow these basic principles: Complementary and alternative therapies are based on the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Natural methods first. Complementary and alternative medicine do not rely on prescription drugs, surgery, and other conventional medical procedures. However, they don't discount the benefits that these procedures can provide when necessary. An individualised, comprehensive approach. Complementary and alternative medicine looks at the underlying cause of the problem and addresses the whole person (mind, body, emotions, spirit) without just masking the symptoms. The goal is to create optimum health. Complementary and alternative medicine focuses on preventing disease and helping someone feel the best they can as much as treating disease. Other terms for complementary and alternative medicine are: alternative medicine, CAM, integrative medicine, wholistic medicine, holistic medicine, complementary medicine, and natural medicine.
