Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Some of you will know I have been moaning about some of these sites for years, but it really is getting serious now. Each week I am getting requests for links to health advice web sites which are nothing more than link scams aimed at raising money from adverts. They are growing at a heck of a rate. These link scammers make no attempt to check if the web site they refer people to is reputable or not and often they are far from reputable. Most don't care that they are directing people to information and products sold by dangerous quacks and con artists. Only today I came across this aromatherapy website: http://www.aromatherapynaturally.com On their page on clove oil they include for its uses among others: cholera, herpes, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and virus. All claims that are outrageously misleading and wrong anyway. What is so bad about this site is there is no way of contacting whoever is putting this information out there. Therefore, joe public think it is a good source of information as they don't seem to be selling anything. So newcomers please beware of these type of web sites and beware of what you believe on any advice they give. I keep overhearing people on the bus who believe everything they read on the internet!!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Did you see their precautions? This is clipped from their website. I see that they have done a lot to inform people about the safety... Although I'd use probably 1/2 of the amount of clove oil for the egg cupful of oil. I'm also thinking that their target audience is not some novice. Well we know by know for which disorder and moods this oil is used but very important fact is how to use, how to apply this, what method should be used, so that its effective and gives best results. Massage is a very useful way to use oils, but as this is very strong, it should be used with some carrier oils to make it dilute e.g. Almond, sunflower, olive or any other oil. Take a mixture of 4 drops of this oil and an egg cupful of base oil, massage to the affected area in a light and circular manner, as we know his oil is great for relieving pain. In case of toothache, massage outer jaw. Clove oil is very good to fight bad breath and toothache, can be used a mouthwash or light gargles. Hot bath with 6-8 drops of oil soaked for atleast 10 minutes is so relaxing, stress free and pleasant. What's aromatherapy, its just how the aroma flows and heals someone. There could be different ways. If this oil used as a room freshener, it controls the spread of disease, improves the quality of air we breathe and makes a romantic atmosphere. To do this one can use it in warm water bowl, light bulbs or radiators, just place few drops of oil and let it evaporate. This oil is also good for digestive system; just add a drop of oil in cooking. This oil is very powerful antiseptic agent, fights bacteria and fungus (as in case of flue, bronchitis and athlete's foot), excellent for contagious and gum diseases. One can also use this oil directly to the affected tooth or gum area. However, in vapor therapy this oils is used with the help of Burners and vaporizers, which have proven favorable results for dizziness and bronchitis Precautions Moreover, maximum essential oils are very strong when concentrated. What we are taking here is not the quality but cause of its extremely potent nature, cause they are pure oils they should be used diluted, mixed with some carrier oils. We know that how much these oils are effective but if used concentrated they can have some adverse reaction and cause irritation and anxiety. Essential oil of clove is to be avoided during pregnancy. This oil can also cause mucous membrane and skin irritations or even dermatitis cause of its potent nature and depends on the skin type. Use of this oil should be avoided in prostate cancer, kidney or liver problem, alcoholic impact, or when taking anticoagulants. Clove oil is very potent oil and should be used with care. Before using this oil if consulted with aroma therapist might be very useful. ---- aromamedical2003 08/02/06 09:17:30 Health advice web sites Some of you will know I have been moaning about some of these sites for years, but it really is getting serious now.
