Essential oil components, at least in vitro, prevent the growth of some of the hardest to treat

cancers.New research also shows that terpe-

noids interact with the cellular metabo-

lism in many and un-foreseen ways, lead-ing to improved and rational application

of essential oils.

Changing Views:From Waste Product to Bio-molecular Communication K.-H. Kubeczka

Charles E. Elson is Professor of Nutritional Sciences at the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has pioneered research into the astounding antitumor effects of terpenoid (essential oil) components, foreshadowing major changes in the role certain oils play in conventional science as well as aromatherapy.

Charles E. Elson

Dr. Dennis M. Peffley researches and lectures at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biology of the Finch University of the Chicago Medical School. His research has greatly improved the understand-ing of how terpenoids distinguish between tumor and healthy cells and prevent tumor growth.

Dennis M. Peffley

Antitumor effects of Essential Oil Components

Karl-Heinz Kubeczka is Professor for Pharmaceutical Biology at the University of Hamburg and one of the world's most prominent es-sential oil researchers. Under his direction, first in Würzburg and later Hamburg, an immense body of knowledge on analysis, com-position and pharmacology of es-sential oils has been accumulated. He is one of the founders of the International Symposium on Es-sential Oils (held the 31st time this year: ISEO 2000). Prof. Kubeczka will review the dramatic changes in how secondary metabolites are viewed. Not long ago essential oils were considered metabolic waste materials. Research has reversed this view, uncovering a diverse range of tasks essential oils fulfill in the plant organism's quest for survival.


Jeffrey C. Yuen is the 88th Gen-eration Taoist Master of Yu Ching Huang Lao Pai, Yellow Emperor/Lao Tsu Sect, ordained by 87th Generation Taoist Master Yu Wen. He has been immersed in the study of Taoism and Chinese Medicine since early childhood. Mr. Yuen offers unparalleled knowledge of the traditions of Chinese medicine that fully inte-grate physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of medicine. Mr. Yuen will give two lectures, one outlining the energetic (yin/yang) and elemental (wood/fire/earth/metal/water) qualities of essential oils and another proposing TCM strategies for the use of essential oils as constitutional treatment for cancer patients.

New Horizons

While western aromatherapy derives much of its appeal from successful infection treatments, TCM views essential oils as con-stitutional remedies. Accordingly, they are uniquely predisposed to influence conditions like breast cancer, in which 'essence' (yuan qi) is implicated.

The very nature of essential oils to stimulate the senses leads to the recognition of aromatherapy as a self-differentiating therapy, effective in changing destructive patterns tied to the way we see the world. This provides new insights for the use of essential oils for chronic and autoimmune conditions.

Absolute Divine: Rare and Exotic Botani-cal Absolutes

Absolutes contain a much broad-er range of chemical constituents than essential oils. This shows in the exquisite fragrances of many absolutes, which have no counterpart among essential oils. The author shares his insights of decades of experience on the puzzling range and tantalizing depth of phenomena which can be conveyed by these divine


Dipl. Ing. Klaus Dürbeck has specialized for many years in trade promotion of medicinal and aromatic plants from developing nations. He will recount his jour-neys in search of elusive oils.

As essential oils become valu-able commodities, political re-alities affect availability and price, as shown by the shift in Helichrysum supply: from French summer crops to fall crops from Bosnia-Herzegowina. Strange circumstances (e.g. distilleries where there are no plants) sur-round the marketing of many oils. Mr. Dürbeck will report on San-dalwood and other examples.

Meet the Distillers

This year's distiller panel fea-tures producers of a number of truly important oils. Just as with fine wine, the women and men who craft the oils are a factor in their identity.

Provence: Lavande fine (and also Melissa - Tarragon - Clary Sage - Thyme chemotypes)Two distinguished cooperatives from the Provence will present 'Fine Lavender', clones, Lavan-dins and discuss common adul-terations.

Crete: VitexVitex agnus castus: Development of a New Essential Oil. Meet the makers of Vitex berry and other precious oils from the island of Crete.

Oregon: PeppermintA family farm produces a Pep-permint oil with perfect (low menthone, low menthofurane, high menthol) composition, cap-turing the pristine purity of the Oregon high desert.
