    Because of their widespread use in perfumery, research has been required by the government on EOs. We know the LD50 for all of them. We know the constituent chemistry. For many of them, we have in vivo studies.
    You've got me curious sethmctenn. I didn't realize there had been in vivo work done on EO's ... care to share ?

    I was curious, too. A quick google search results in many articles.

    You could search docguide.com or medline. Thousands of articles will come up. The best journals are the Journal of Essential Oil Research (mainly constituent research), the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy Journal (fluffy but practical), and the International Journal of Clinical Aromatherapy.
    It's interesting when you start wading into the research you see that the "common knowledge" that there is no high quality research on alternative medicine is simply not valid. There's a ton of it on medline

    Sounds like that company wants to get sued in the near future.
