I don't think that anyone is saying that aromatherapy can never help anything at all - but I do have to say that the last link posted is hardly scientific. Even in high school, you learn that in order to test a theory, you need to compare it to a control group. The study listed above has a sample size of only six and no control at all. Regardless of what the outcomes were, it is impossible to generalise based on that kind of study. Not that the "National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy Journal" would be a reliable source of information on that topic - it obviously has a particular bias.
