"Not only is this incorrect but it encourages soapers to make illegal "drug" claims in violation of FDA regs."

I disagree. The author is trying to say the oils can relieve, NOT cure these ailments. As an aroma-therapist I agree with her.
I know this wasn't the intention of the author but the article reads as though essential oils in soaps can cure cellulite, varicose veins, etc. Not only is this incorrect but it encourages soapers to make illegal "drug" claims in violation of FDA regs.
