The use of essential oils to humidify the air, taking into account their influence on the psyche, protection against infections and general well-being, is not regulated by any specific rules. The knowledge about the influence of smell and the breathing in of essential oils in small doses is based on remarkably wide clinical research, described in thousands of publications and books, one of which you’re currently holding. The rules of law concerning essential oils and the use of their biological and therapeutic properties concern medicines which have been using essential oils as healing compounds for many years. The other collection of knowledge concerning the safe use of essential oils are the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards, which include products of the perfume-cosmetics industry and alike, and state the maximum safe concentrations for essential oils, depending on the type and the intended use.

Aromatherapy is thus supposed to help eliminate both the effect and cause of discomfort. Moreover, the essential oil blends use the synergism effect, known in pharmaceutical circles, and selecting proper essential oils allows the blend to act comprehensively and hence eliminate not only pain but also its cause. And finally, to top all the other arguments praising the use of blends in aromatherapy, there is the smell factor. The more rich, more elaborate the bouquet, the better are the individual sensations of the person smelling them. [...]

We are currently preparing to conduct research on Lady Pinecone’s™ blends at one of the medical universities, during which we will assess the antimicrobial activity of the volatile fractions of the essential oils against bacterial pathogens causing infectious diseases of the respiratory system, the allergenic effects of fungus, and respiratory syncytial virus in strictly defined experimental conditions.

During the process of composing the Lady Pinecone™ blends, we use the knowledge of experts, scientific publications and test results concerning the influence of essential oils. Below we present a list of studies and publications, which are categorised for each individual blend.
