While researching an article I am writing about Canadian regulations of the use of the word “aromatherapy” on product labels, I found some e-books that may be of interest to our membership.
From the Health Canada website - Abbreviated Health Claims for Natural Health Products – Discussion Paper
I haven’t read this one in its entirety, but did notice that discussion regarding the use of the term “used in Aromatherapy…” begins on page 18 of the booklet, if you want to skip ahead.
From the Fraser Institute Studies in Health Care Policy: Unnatural Regulation: Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy in Canada
Again, have not yet read this one completely (it’s 87 pages long), but a simple search for the term “aromatherapy” finds the CFA is mentioned on page 36.
If anyone has information about use of the word “aromatherapy” on labels, I’d love for you to share it with me. You can e-mail me or add a comment to this post. From what I gather, there are no regulations in place. Anyone can label a product “aromatherapy”, whether it contains real essential oils or not. Strawberry bubblegum aromatherapy candle, anyone?
TECHNO TIP: If you wish to print these e-books, you can save paper by setting the printer to print 2 pages per sheet. You may need a magnifying glass to read it, however!
From the “Print” menu in Adobe Reader (the program we use to read PDF files), in the “Page Handling” section (outlined in purple, above), choose the settings shown.
Page Scaling: multiple pages per sheet
Pages per sheet: 2
Page order: horizontal
Check “print page border” if you want a distinctive box around each page (I find this makes it easier to separate the text).
Check “auto-rotate pages” so the pages fit on the sheet of paper properly.
