This is a report I wrote for my Aroma Therapy Class. My assignment was to conduct an aroma association test on my family or close friends. Put some lavender oil onto a perfume-testing strip and have them waft it under their nose, and tell you the first thoughts that come into their mind. Do you suspect any aroma associations, conditioning or response bias? I used my co-worker Mary as my test subject. Mary is familiar with essential oils, uses them on occasion. She has four grandchildren ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. |

I decided to conduct an experiment using Essential Oils to clean my bathroom. I have a cat that lives on my main floor, so chose not to use the essential oils in that bathroom. It is late and she will be closed into the adjoining room for the night. Cats do not tolerate essential oils very well. I learned this the hard way when I first started using oils. I had a diffuser going in the adjoining bathroom for 6 to 8 hours a day (this is where the kitty-box is). I would shut the diffuser off at night but after that many hours during the day – the room she sleeps in was pretty saturated with essential oils. |
