Speaker: Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc  Essential oils (EO) comprise all the volatile compounds in plants and other organisms. They are mainly composed of numerous green leafy volatiles, hydrocarbons, mono-, and sesquiterpenes. These odoriferous compounds have a myriad of biological actions, especially antimicrobial, sedative and smooth muscle-regulating activities (blood vessels, uterus, GI tract, urethra and ureter, and bronchial airway). EO are often used in inhalation and aromatherapy, but this class will be centered on the internal drop-dose uses of the top 50 in common practice. We explore the safety, dosage, and major clinical uses, primarily drawing on the presenter’s experience, the experience of other practitioners, and research studies published in peer-reviewed journals.
