Allergies are a way of life with some individuals. Avoiding the very thing that causes their allergy is hard to do because of others in their life. Perfume is one of the most common reactors in individuals with allergic hypersensitivity. Some people actually believe that natural is better than synthetic perfumes.

Recently, there has been a study done at the University of Gothenburg that shows that natural aromatic oils can cause contact allergy or eczema-provoking allergens. We have been told by the Aroma Therapists that the natural oils do not cause any type of reaction. This has been proven false by a real life study. Guess there will be some revisions to what goes into advertising of essential oils now.

I have one client who is a Universal Reactor and cannot get around any form of perfume or essential oils. She leads a very lonely life but is a real life survivor of Chemical Sensitivity. She was poisoned by pesticides and is determined to move forward with her life, no matter what is thrown her way. She is an inspiration to others and helps them all to understand how to cope with their allergy.

Natural lavender oil was studied by Lina Hagvall, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg. The results of the study showed that natural aromas or essential oils are not as healthy as reported. Her study showed that essential oils do not prevent the formation of allergenic substances. This is going to be a big blow in the theory of natural substances are healthy for us. The study showed just the opposite. I am sure that there will be some type of backlash from this study, more information needs to be uncovered for the whole story.

I personally use some of the essential oils but will be a little more careful in my selection of what to use now. Peppermint is my favorites but it will be used less now. I have one friend who is allergic to the smell of peppermint essential oil, now I know why. I thought she was just allergic to me, now I know better. Guys and Girls, you need to watch your essential oil, might be a real turn off to your partner.

Allergies can be frustrating but dealing with them is a matter of survival for some individuals. If you believe you are having a severe reaction to a natural essential oil, consult with you Doctor to get more information. This study of Lavender Oil shows that all things in Mother Nature are not always good for us.
