"After all, we generally find that perfumes and colognes make a person more sensual and sexually attractive. There is a difference, however, between aromatherapy and perfumes. Aromatherapy is based on natural essential oils extracted from plants, whereas perfumes and fragrances are usually made from synthetic molecules created in a laboratory. As potent as natural essential oils are, their effect can be greatly enhanced by using them to lubricate the skin during a therapeutic massage."

"The snakes and birds and the divinities of the woods and fields did him homage with flowers and celestial perfumes, heavenly choirs poured forth music, the ten thousand worlds were filled with perfumes, garlands, harmonies, and 36 Vircil. Ae.neM. VI. 8n2. shouts of acclaim; for he was on his way to the great Tree of Enlightenment, the Bo Tree, under which he was to redeem the universe. He placed himself, with a firm resolve, beneath the Bo Tree, on the Immovable Spot, and straightway was approached by Kama-Mara, the god of love and death."

"Likewise, avoid using synthetic perfumes and cologne. Studies show that many perfumes and colognes often contain phthalates and parabens (both of which are known endocrine disruptors). Instead, look for organic products that have joined the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, such as the Body Shop, Burt's Bees, Kiss My Face, Aubrey Organics, Avalon Natural Products, and Terr Essentials. Or visit thinkbeforeyoupink.org for a list of companies that produce products that are paraben and phthalate free. AVOID DARK HAIR DYES."

"You want to limit your contact with all potenital toxins while you're nursing, so I'd also avoid synthetic perfumes or nail polish. And consider investing in organic nursing pads and organic bedding for yourself as well as for your baby—again, all of these minor routes of exposure might increase the level of contaminants in breast milk. You should also talk to your doula, midwife, and doctor about using Weleda baby care products on you and your baby while breastfeeding, particularly Weleda Nursing Tea."

"Causes may include cosmetics, perfumes, latex or rubber, metal alloys (including silver, nickel, and gold), and poisonous plants, such as poison ivy or poison oak. Contact dermatitis can be cleared up by avoiding exposure to the allergen. Seborrheic dermatitis is a malfunction of the seborrheic glands and can result in scaling of the skin. Dandruff is a form of this condition, as is cradle cap in infants."

"Having spoken thus, the great Lord of yoga revealed to Arjuna his supreme form as Vishnu, Lord of the Universe: with many faces and eyes, presenting many wondrous sights, bedecked with many celestial ornaments, armed with many divine uplifted weapons; wearing celestial garlands and vestments, anointed with divine perfumes, all-wonderful, resplendent, boundless, and with faces on all sides. If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One."
- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"My fond childhood memories are not of the smell of home-baked bread but of the acrid perfumes of a chemistry lab. Back then, if you asked me about my religious beliefs, I might have said I was an agnostic. In other words, I wasn't the most likely candidate in the world to embrace spirituality. I went off to Brandeis University in 1966, determined to get an MD and PhD and follow in my father's footsteps. Brandeis was a crucible for radical thought at that time, and much to my parents' chagrin, I became somewhat of a radical proponent for social change."

"These same plants manufacture the smells found in fine perfumes, as well as household products (e.g., deodorant, dishwashing detergent, bath soap, shampoo, furniture polish, floor wax). The process is the same: food and aroma technologists manipulate volatile chemicals to create particular tastes and smells. So, as Schlosser puts it, "The basic science behind the scent of your shaving cream is the same as that governing the flavor of your TV dinner." Colorful Science Giving food the right color is also a science. Color additives make food more appealing."

"Are you sensitive to perfumes, smoke or chemical odors? 12 Are you troubled with skin problems, such as rashes or hives, for example? 13 Do you have any joint or muscular aches? 14 Do you now have any allergies causing sinus or bronchial troubles that you did not have in the past? If there are more YES answers than NO answers, the probability of a Candida overgrowth is very high. If there are about 25% YES's, there is a good possibility of a mild Candida problem. And if there are 75% or more YES's, then you can count on a moderate to severe case of candidiasis."

"They are found in perfumes made from synthetic musks, for instance, and in caulking, paint, varnishes and cleaning solutions, which are often very toxic. "Pesticides, our last category, may be the most dangerous of all. They are used, of course, to exterminate in homes or out of doors. If you live in a farm or orchard area, you may be subject to pesticide drifts. There are also often significant residues in foods, especially in foods imported from countries where there is no regulation in the use of pesticides."

"Apparently he discovered that the many oils used in perfumes were better antiseptics and healing substances than the formulas available at the time. Gattefosse found out the hard way: he burnt his hand one day and plunged it into a bowl of lavender oil, mistaking it for water. The burn healed quickly and without a scar. Aromatherapy makes therapeutic use of essential oils extracted from nature's kingdom: from flowers, trees, bushes, roots, seeds, herbs and even bark."

"Nail polish, mascaras, perfumes, hair dyes, moisturizers, foundations—all of these popular personal-care products might contain any number of dangerous toxins, including diethanolamine (DEA), a suspected carcinogen; formaldehyde, a known carcinogen; neurotoxic heavy metals like lead and mercury; and various types of parabens, a preservative that can act like estrogen. Like many girls her age, seventeen-year-old Jessica Assaf estimates that she was using around thirty products every single day by the time she was twelve."

"At a traffic light, a panoply of trumpet-shaped flowers perfumes the air. It's all growing out of what is essentially a volcanic mountain island that's still squirting out red, purple and golden streams of lava. We pull over briefly at my hotel, where I check in and snatch some of the complimentary papayas and mangoes at the buffet. They taste terrible. Twenty minutes later, we pull up at a dusty side street next to a rusty macadamia nut processing factory. "Many mahalos," sings the driver into his microphone. "This is it: Napo'opo'o Road." I look around."

"Responding to mounting citizen protests, Health Canada reluctantly relented, and from January 2007 on, labeling requirements became law for all products except fragrances and perfumes. Health Canada now also requires that all ingredients be named by the worldwide standard Scientific International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients, in order to simplify the recognition of ingredient names by consumers. As a result of these actions, Canadian regulations now approach the high standards of the European Union. California Pioneers U.S. Legislative Change Here in the U.S."

"Every Valentine's Day the makers and sellers of chocolates, flowers, and perfumes reap a fortune in sales because these products have become traditional symbols for love and devotion. These gifts seem innocuous enough. But imagine if you learned that the chocolates you bought or received were laced with rat poison, or that the flowers were heavily laden with toxic pesticides. Would you still eat the chocolates or inhale the aroma of the flowers, much less encourage your loved one to do so? But lovers give bottles of toxic chemicals to each other as signs of their affection yearly."

"Beginning in the 1970s, synthetic scents, usually associated only with perfumes, had been integrated into so many cosmetics and personal care products that they were a part of normal daily experience. As Synthetics Multiplied, So Did Health Problems As use of synthetic chemicals grew, the impacts on human health became impossible to ignore. A skin cream called Koremlu, sold through department stores, contained thallium acetate, which was also used as a rodent poison."

"There are about fifty allergenic ingredients in perfumes and fragrances, and others commonly found in cosmetics and personal care products. Chapter Three: Losing the Winnable Cancer War You have probably seen newspaper headlines that periodically try to reassure us that the tide of battle has turned, and that we are winning the war against cancer. One story from the Nexo York Times in 2005 received much attention by claiming that "cancer statistics do not indicate a cancer epidemic," and that "rates of cancer have been steadily dropping for 50 years."

"One of my greatest frustrations has been that now I have to dodge people because of the cosmetics, perfumes, and sprays that they use. They set off severe migraine attacks that can put me into bed for two and three days at a time. I was forced into changing my lifestyle. I had to change my way of eating and a lot of the products that I use in my home. Tve gone to a semi-vegetarian diet, mostly organic. I eat very little meat, and no flavorings. I have to be on a completely yeast-free and sugar-free diet. It is extremely restricted."

"It is used in perfumes as well as in skin lotions. •Thimerosal, a mercury compound used in vaccines and local antiseptics. •Neomycin sulfate, a topical antibiotic, common in first-aid creams and ointments. It also can be found in cosmetics, deodorants, soap and pet food. •Fragrance mix, a group of the eight most common fragrance allergens that are found in foods, cosmetic products, insecticides, antiseptics, soaps, perfumes and dental products. •Formaldehyde, a preservative that is used in paints, medications, fabric finishes, paper products, household cleaners and cosmetics."

"There is a difference, however, between aromatherapy and perfumes. Aromatherapy is based on natural essential oils extracted from plants, whereas perfumes and fragrances are usually made from synthetic molecules created in a laboratory. As potent as natural essential oils are, their effect can be greatly enhanced by using them to lubricate the skin during a therapeutic massage. Researchers have determined that the scent of lavender increases alpha waves in the brain, which is the type of brain activity associated with relaxation, and jasmine increases stimulating beta waves."

"It is also used as a flavoring in gin, pickles, and sausages, and as a component of makeup and perfumes. A Serving of Food Lore... The use of coriander can be traced back over seven thousand years, making it one of the world's oldest known spices. It is native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions and has been in Asia for thousands of years. Coriander was cultivated in ancient Egypt and is mentioned in the Old Testament. ("And the house of Israel called the name there of Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey" Exodus 16:31."

"Cloves and clove oil are used in cooking, perfumes, and artificial flavorings. A Serving of Food Lore... Cloves originated in the Molucca Islands of Indonesia. The spice was first mentioned in Chinese writings during the Han dynasty over two thousand years ago. Arab traders brought cloves to the Venetians in Europe four hundred years later. Where Are Cloves Grown? The principle producer of cloves is Zanzibar in East Africa. Indonesia, Sumatra, Jamaica, West Indies, and Brazil are the world's other top producers.

"Mint is thought to have originated in the Mediterranean Basin, where it was valued as a foundation in perfumes, food flavorings, and medicinal products. The Romans brought mint throughout Europe. In the 1790s, mint was being grown in Massachusetts, and by 1812 peppermint was cultivated commercially for oil in Ashfield, Massachusetts. Where Is Mint Grown? Mint is mainly grown in China, India, the Mediterranean, the Philippines, and Egypt. In the United States, peppermint is primarily grown for essential oil production."

"SWEET PEE For many of us, spritzing and spraying with perfumes and eau de toilette is part of our daily bathroom ritual. But if the "eau" in your toilet is sweet-smelling, it's not a good sign. Indeed, it can signal a serious complication of diabetes known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In DKA, substances called ketones can build up in the blood and give the urine, breath, and even skin a distinct sweet or acetone-like smell. (See Smelly Sweat, below.) Dark-colored urine (see Tea-Colored Pee, above) and excessive urination are other urine-related signs of this condition."

"Allergic asthma can also be treated via avoidance of triggers in the home and environment such as pet dander, mold, dust mites, cockroaches, tree and other plant pollen in spring, secondhand smoke, perfumes, and chemicals, including those found in standard household cleaning products."

"Exchange your perfumes and air fresheners for natural aromatic oils and fresh scents from your garden. Because most spermicidal products contain petrochemicals, avoid using lubricated condoms or vaginal gels. New homes or offices filled with new carpet, fiberboard, new paint, and glues can give off a wide variety of toxic fumes. Consider flushing the toxins out of the air with a portable air filter prior to moving in. Never use synthetic hormone replacement. Evaluate your options for birth control and, whenever possible, find an alternative to birth control pills."

"Usually the symptoms went away when the individual left the environment, but in some cases the symptoms persisted and would be made substantially worse by exposure to strong odorants, such as detergents, perfumes, newsprint, and insecticides. Patients with these complaints were said to have multiple chemical sensitivity. Though many MCS cases seem to start with an identifiable trigger (like working in a new building), some have no apparent trigger. So far, no good consensus definition for this condition exists."

"Irritant vaginitis can be due to allergies to such substances as latex in condoms, spermicides, deodorants, soaps, perfumes, semen, or douches.1 Irritation may also be due to hot tubs, mechanical abrasion, sanitary napkins, tampons, toilet tissue, or topical medications. However, most vaginitis is due to a vaginal infection. More than 90 percent of vaginitis in reproductive-age women is caused by bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, or trichomoniasis."
