In this episode, Frauke sits down with aromatherapy pioneer and author Robert Tisserand to reflect on 50 years of Aromatherapy. Robert takes us through his life's journey growing up in London, incl. his studies and original career ambitions (you might be surprised!). He shares what got him interested in essential oils, how he ended up writing that now famous book The Art of Aromatherapy, and reveals what Aromatherapy was like in the UK back in the 1970’s (spoiler alert: it’s nothing like it is today). Robert and Frauke also have an honest discussion about what Aromatherapy is today, what’s changed over the years, and what people get really wrong about the field. They discuss the controversial topic of naturals vs. synthetics, debate the quality of essential oils nowadays, as well as share how they create a fragrance.  Robert also shares what he feels is the most interesting research being done on essential oils today. This is a candid and heartwarming conversation that you don't want to miss.   Learn more about Robert Tisserand: https://roberttisserand.com/ Visit the Tisserand Institute website: https://tisserandinstitute.org/ Learn more about Robert's book The Art of Aromatherapy Learn more about Robert's textbook Essential Oil Safety Get Frauke's free Smell To Be Well audio training Follow Frauke on Instagram @falkaromatherapy Follow Frauke on Facebook @falkaromatherapy Visit the FALK Aromatherapy website: www.falkaromatherapy.com Check out Frauke's Scent*Tattoo project: www.scenttattoo.com--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anaromaticlife/message

#37: Reflections on Aromatherapy with Robert Tisserand

‘Robert Tisserand has just joined our Facebook group’, Lorraine messaged me excitedly. ‘The Robert Tisserand?’ I replied. ‘YES, THE Robert Tisserand’. This was an exciting moment for us at Formula Botanica. As organic cosmetic formulators, Robert Tisserand’s seminal work on essential oil safety had been a staple resource for Formula Botanica for years and his research into essential oils are highly regarded and respected within our wider community. Last year Lorraine and I were able to arrange a meeting with Robert in London and we kept a steady dialogue flowing since then.  When he agreed to be a guest on the podcast we were thrilled and we were determined to make the most out of this opportunity and share it with as many of you as possible. Robert Tisserand is an expert in aromatherapy and essential oil research.    In this podcast you will learn:  Why essential oil safety is an issue and why he decided to write his book ‘Essential Oil Safety’ back in 1995. Some of the issues with the EU guidelines and what the current research on essential oils shows in terms of allergens in citrus oils and why his safety guidance differs. Some examples of why safety guidelines are necessary and why essential oil safety is still such an important topic and worthy of our attention. The benefits of using essential oils in cosmetic formulation.  Key takeaways:  Get Robert’s opinion on the recent lavender and tea tree oil controversy where recent research suggested that both oils were hormone disruptors. Why you should research essential oils carefully when using them in skincare or haircare formulations and why some research can be considered scare-mongering. Why legislation continues to be a challenge, why it is likely that it will increase in the coming years and how this relates to safety.    To help people make informed decisions about essential oil usage, The Tisserand Institute has launched a six-part, certified Essential Oil Safety Masterclass with Robert Tisserand.
