Annotated Bibliography for the Effects of Essential Oils

 

Manion, Chelsea R., and Rebecca M. Widder. “Essentials of Essential Oils.” American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, vol. 74, no. 9, 2017, pp. E153+. Gale Academic OneFile, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A491251211/AONE?u=tel_a_nsti&sid=summon&xid=53d2ec4f.

 

Manion and Widder’s article addresses the increased application of essential oils among patients and the need for clinicians to understand essential oils so they can guide their patients in the use and safety of application. It also addresses how the FDA views essential oils. Although the article is written for clinicians, it is straightforward in nature and easy to understand. It appears to present a balanced argument with the focus on patient care and the role providers can play to encourage wellness. This article is credible, because the American Journal of Health System Pharmacy is well-respected peer-reviewed journal. In addition, the authors are experts in the fields of therapeutics and pharmacology. This is the only article that addresses the FDA’s perspective, which will be helpful in my questions concerning safety. Furthermore, it has statistics on the efficacy of essentials oils, which will highlight the effects.
