[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 2740571, member: 8534"] Let's take aspirin as an example. The active ingredient is salicylic acid, originally found in the bark of willow trees. In the late 1800's a chemist was successful at synthesizing it and Bayer aspirin was created. You can get methyl salicylate in concreted form with Birch Bark Essential Oil which has the same anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits as Bayer Aspirin. The difference claimed by those who believe in EOs is that with EOs you get other naturally occurring compounds that are synergetic with the active ingredient being sought. Whereas synthetically derived medications only possess the active compound sought. I sure would not try to treat cancer with EOs but for minor ailments like allergies, joint pain, muscle pain, etc., they seem to have some benefit reported by many people. [/QUOTE]
