Aromatherapy Rant
Feb. 23rd, 2009 01:54 pmSomeone recently told me that aromatherapy doesn't work, "because the stuff can't get into your system just from being on your skin!"
I agreed, and pointed out that of COURSE that's why doctors prescribe nitro patches and nicotine patches and contraceptive patches, because stuff can't possibly be absorbed through the skin.
*snort*
I would have tried to educate the individual, but they had that mulish expression that meant I'd've been teaching a pig to sing. And arguing, well, I just didn't have the energy.
I do like the experiment with the garlic, though :D If someone CAN be convinced to try it, it'll convince them!
