![]() There simply is no greater harmonic essence of rose oil, or any of the other assorted things that are listed. One source I found says rose oil has more than 300 constituents, all of which have different chemical makeups with a variety of different chemical bonds. Let’s take rose oil, which supposedly has the highest vibrational frequency. Measuring things that happen at this level requires very specific equipment that an essential oil company has access to.ĭoes any of this extrapolate to the human body level, or even to the essential oil level? Absolutely not. Then there are subatomic particles, where we get into quantum physics. Because specific bonds have specific frequencies, vibrational spectroscopy can be used to detect those bonds. Quartz does the same kind of thing in old-school wristwatches.Ītoms will also vibrate at a certain frequency when they’re bonded to other atoms. ![]() Some atoms will vibrate between two energy states that’s what the cesium atomic clock is based on. ![]() ![]() There’s also a distinction between oscillation and vibration electromagnetic radiation oscillates, while vibration is a mechanical phenomenon. In the diagram above, the sine wave on the top is the lowest frequency, and below that are waves of higher and higher frequency. Young has a very odd definition of frequency: “Frequency is defined as a measurable rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points.”įrequency is a measure of the number of events per unit of time. Have you heard of the terms megahertz or gigahertz? Yeah, those are exponentially higher frequency units than hertz. Young claims that his essential oils are vibrating at 52 Hz to 320 Hz. I believe that the chemistry and frequencies of essential oils have the ability to help man maintain the optimal frequency to the extent that disease cannot exist.”įact check: If there’s no actual research cited, that’s a good indicator that it could be made up. Quack check: Young writes: “Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. Quack check: Young writes: “Young Living Essential Oils laboratory uses a CFM, and another is located at Johns Hopkins University where it is used to study frequency in relationship to disease.”įact check: A search of the Johns Hopkins University site yields no results for “calibrated frequency monitor.” His obituary says “As a hobby, Bruce was an inventor and a student of energy and quantum physics, which lead him to invent several instruments, which minimize environmental stress from electromagnetic frequencies.” Google Scholar doesn’t show any academic journal articles written by him. He was not on faculty, much less a department head. Quack-check: Young writes: “Bruce Tanio, of Tainio Technology and head of the Department of Agriculture at Eastern Washington University, has developed a Calibrated Frequency Monitor (CFM) that has been used to measure the frequencies of essential oils and their effect on human frequencies when applied to the body.”įact-check: According to the Tainio Biologicals website and Bruce Tainio’s 2010 obituary, he did a bachelor’s degree in biology at Eastern Washington University. His claims were widely discredited within the scientific community. Wikipedia says he claimed that a device he invented, often called the Rife machine, could be used to target the specific vibrational frequency of various pathogens and cancer. That name sounded familiar to me, and sure enough, Rife has his own brand of quackery. Young writes that Rife invented a “frequency generator” in the early 1920s. Royal Rife is listed as an influence beyond the whole vibration-a-rama. It’s called Human Electrical Frequencies and Fields, and it’s available on Scribd. Gary Young, the founder of the essential oils company Young Living. That playbook, so to speak, is written by D. After some looking around, I realized that it’s because they are. Various sites I found all seemed to be talking from the same playbook. And, like the law of attraction, it claims to be based in science, when it’s just not. Once I started looking, I discovered that this notion seems pretty well established in certain circles. Somehow, the notion of essential oil frequencies and “high vibration” oils flew under my radar until I recently stumbled across a pin on Pinterest. In particular, I’m not impressed with pseudoscientific made-up vibrations, and especially the made-up idea of vibrating thoughts, law of attraction style. I’m a very science-minded person, and one of the things that really grates my rutabagas is when people make things up and call it science.
