Just wondering what the general public think about the government banning essential oils>
The EU and the US are bringing into effect a ban on the use of over 60 different natural essential oils, including lavender and rose. Why? Well these oils are made up of natural chemical compounds, some of which, when isolated and used in high concentration, can cause skin irritation. But lavender oil can be used on the skin with no adverse reactions and is effective in the treatment of burns and other skin conditions. It is when they separate the single natural chemical in the oil (this can only be done in a laboratory) and use it alone on the skin (probably rats) that they cause problems. So the answer they have found is to ban the use of these oils. It will severly effect the natural cosmetics and perfumery business.
What do you guys think?

I've said it before and i'll say it again ... the government is retarded.
sounds like the drug companies don't like the competition.
I think they don't understand the meaning of "essential"!
AACK! When is this supposed to happen!? I use lavendar oil all the time. It's a great treatment for animal bites. It fights infection, reduces pain and helps stop bleeding.
People, please become aware that choices are being made for us and not with our personal best interests.
