Essential Oils - The Legal Pitfalls of Making False Claims, Diagnosing or Prescribing
Essential Oils - The Legal Pitfalls of Making False Claims
, Diagnosing or Prescribing
For many just discovering the tremendous healing power in essential oils, it is a temptation to want to tell the whole world about their new discovery. Not only to share this information but they also want to put oils on just about everyone who crosses their path. Here is the first red flag. Be careful not to make false claims about these healing oils and don't diagnose someone's problem and prescribe a natural healing agent like an essential oil. It is prohibited by law to make false "disease claims" regarding essential oils, herbs, or supplements. Neither can you "diagnose" or "prescribe" which are medical terms that apply only for those individuals licensed to diagnose and prescribe. As a practitioner, you could be legally liable. What is a false claim? Here are some examples of "disease claims:" That essential oils-
o Cures cancer
o For relief of symptoms of cold, flu, and sore throats
o Anti-tumoral
o Anti-viral
o Anti-bacterial
o Helps manage prostate enlargement
o Replenishes healthy intestinal flora
o Anti-depressant
o Anti-inflammatory
o Anti-microbial
o Anti-fungal
o Anti-parasitic
o Anti-coagulant
o Lowers the risk of [name of a disease]
o Lowers cholesterol
o Relieves pain associated with a disease process
Even though research is showing all the above to be true, the research lacks double-blind studies on a grand scale. At this point in our healthcare system, only the pharmaceutical drug companies have this kind of money and they are not about to study the effectiveness of a natural product of the earth that they cannot patent. These claims therefore cannot be owned or expressed by anyone except a medical physician. In fact, I recommend that you do not discuss diseases unless you are medically trained. Nurses are medically trained and therefore it is within our license to discuss medical conditions but not within our license to diagnose or prescribe unless the nurse practitioner is licensed to do so.
What can we safely say about these oils and how they work? Here are a few suggestions:o Promotes good health
o Makes you feel good
o Improves nutrition, thereby optimizing health
o Are immune enhancing
o Support the body's natural defenses
o Support the immune, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous and other body systems
o Aid in maintaining normal cellular regeneration
o Are mood elevating
o Are antiseptic (topical use only)
o Are high in antioxidants
o Are aromatic
o Are oxygenating
o Boost stamina and energy
o Help you relax
o Help manage stress and frustration
o Help reduce the appearance of aging
o Improve mental clarity
o Promote overall health, vitality and longevity
So rather than diagnosing and prescribing, we can suggest ways that the body can become restored to health. We can research the health problem and offer more information; and we can offer testimonials. Simply replacing drugs with herbs and essential oils does not serve the client well. Teaching others how to balance their bodies naturally the way God intended will serve them much better. How can we do this? By looking at the body system that is not working and offering support to that body system.
Educational courses in aromatherapy can help you use essential oils properly and know how to discuss their healing ability with the public without making false claims, diagnosing and prescribing.
