Aromatherapy can promotes good health ?

[peggy]

There are some company that sells aromatherapy products (with diffuser) through direct selling. The claim is the product can helps promote good health if used on daily basis. e.g with certain kind of oil it prevents flu, high blood pressure, increase oxygen inside a room, etc. Has anyone tried and tested this kind of things? Is there any proven result? This thing is also expensive. (Especially the diffuser that looks like a perfume bottle ...)

I have used aromatherapy for years and swear by it. I have had terrible headaches for over 10 years and the dr's have put me on at least 60 different meds and they work rarely. My best bet, by far, is to use peppermint oil as soon as the pain starts. I can head off most headaches using this approach. I dab a little beneath my nose and at my temples.
