Challenges
Facing Aromatherapy: Proof of Safety
Robert
Tisserand
Evidence
of safety is an ongoing challenge in any sphere of therapy.
In aromatherapy the challenges include insufficient data,
adverse data, biased interpretation of data, new legislation
and misinformation. Carcinogens, tertogens and allergens are
principal areas of concern. Reasons for confusion, areas for
debate and some possible ways forward will be explored.

Sourcing
Essential Oils, Conservation, Quality Issues and Myths
Tim
Blakley
I
think the subtitle to this presentation could be, ‘Where
do our oils come from, are they any good, and do we do business
well’. The essential oil business in the USA is still
relatively young and going through many growing pains. Since
oils come from all over the world sourcing is a significant
challenge. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
to visit all of the growers/distillers supplying any single
company. So, we do farm visits whenever possible and after
that we have to rely on what information we can get from our
suppliers. How can we verify that our suppliers are producing
quality oils in a sustainable manner?

Closing
Keynote - Moving Aromatherapy Forward with Vision and Action
Raphael
d'Angelo, MD, NMD, MT
As
aromatherapists, we have a grand opportunity to create the
future of clinical aromatherapy in our country which will
have a positive impact on the holistic delivery of health
care in the USA and abroad. My talk will cover our present
situation; the goals that lay ahead; and the means of realizing
them. Metaphorically, I will show how we can steer the course
while avoiding potholes, braking for danger, taking detours,
and when necessary traveling “off road” to arrive
at our destination.

Conducting

Aromatherapy
research is the key to taking our world of aromatic healing
to the next level of acceptance in the general health care
community. A broad range of pertinent subjects pertaining

Neuro-Endocrine
Uses of Essential Oils
Peter
Holmes, LAc, MH
Essential
oils are well known to possess the ability to modulate chemical
and hormonal messengers through stimulation of the limbic
system. Scientific research has laid a good foundation for
understanding and harnessing their neuroendocrine dynamics.
However, the challenge now is how these functions are to be
applied in the context of the treatment intentions we formulate
in clinical practice.

Jennifer Jefferies, ND

Your
Lymphatic System, Immunity and How it Relates to Aromatherapy
Linda-Anne
Kahn, HHP, CIDESCO, CLT-LANA
In
this exciting lecture we will discuss a multifaceted approach
to boosting the immune system. We will discuss the lymphatic
system, Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), essential oils and carrier
oils used to strengthen the lymphatic system, detoxify the
tissues and boost immunity. We will also explore how stress,
dry brushing and supplements play a role in maintaining a
healthy lymphatic system and how they have a positive effect
on the immune system.
Psychoneuroimmunology,
guided imagery, exercise and rebounding will also be discussed.
Aromatherapy and manual lymph drainage together create a powerful
synergy which can treat many conditions and imbalances such
as lymphedema, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and
other autoimmune disorders.

| Energy
Fields: Insights and practices for individual,
community, global and planetary healing
Krishna
Madappa
We
are indeed in the most dynamic period of our intrinsic evolution
as the layers of our conditioned behaviors start to unfurl.
Sharing a wisdom thought “What is within us is perfection,
what is without is imperfection. The outer world can have
perfection only when the inner world inspires, guides, moulds
and shapes the outer world.”
We
will explore the essence of inspirations from wisdom cultures
to present day bio-photonics that we are pure beings of light
and that every cell of the 50 trillion in the human is a living
brilliant universe.
We
shall also explore some daily practices that continue to be
conveyed by teachings of our vital purpose of being, with
some case studies that illustrate these noble and time honored
disciplines.
We
will also know that real existence, real knowledge and real
love are eternally connected. Where one of these resides,
the others follow. With these eternal truths imprinted in
every cell of our being, brilliance is the luminous particle
that is wholly embodying us and in all our actions originating
from thought and is then empowered for a singular purpose.

Therapeutic Practices Program at Metropolitan State College
of Denver as well as the new certificate program in aromatherapy
are just a couple of programs that have shown that our public
is ready to receive this type of education and healing. A
short demonstration of how an integrated approach is used
