Q Who was Jean Valnet?

He was both a surgeon and a graduate.


of forensic medicine, of psychiatry, of
microbiology and hygiene.

That said, beyond these degrees


conventional ones, he became interested very early
to natural medicines.

Captain doctor of the French army,


he indeed bandages the soldiers' wounds
with aromatic solutions and obtained
exceptional results, at a time when

plants and their therapeutic powers
had fallen into oblivion.

Then he devoted himself, starting from 1959,


to civil medicine, to its research
as well as to the teaching of phyto-
aromatherapy.

He was particularly focused on studying


the anti-infectious properties of oils
essentials.

In 1971, he created the first Association


of studies and research in phyto-
aromatherapy.

The same year he was suspended from


the medical board for a year,
following the publication of his work
"Doctor Nature".

Ten years later, he founded the College of


phyto-aromatherapy and medicines of
French-speaking area.

He is the co-creator of the aromatogram.


with Doctor M. Girault from Dijon.

Humanistic doctor, Doctor Jean


Valnet is today considered as
the "father of phyto-aromatherapy"
modern.

“Herbal medicine has always had
a large place in medicine,
but many doctors do not

they don't know.

“In Western pharmacopoeia,


60% - about - medicines
the pharmacist contains some
plants entirely or partially.
So most doctors do
phytotherapy without knowing it!

[Link]
“The great domain of phyto-
aromatherapy, it is the field
infectious.

“Aromatic essences are the


most powerful bactericides known to
that day. We have never been able to increase
their antibacterial power,
while we tried to increase
the antibiotic power of
antibiotics.

[Link]
“90% of pathologies are
legal subjects through phytosanitary
aromatherapy.

“We phyto-aromatherapists,
let's not use only plants
and the essences, we add everything to it
similarly a certain number of
things we need: by
for example iodine, magnesium, the
sulfur, which has proven itself
whole eternity. These are not
plants, but we use them.

Question: If herbal medicine is also
formidable that you say it, why not
Were you not followed?

“Because the plants placed in


the disposition of the pharmacist and
the public were already plants
old, they had lost their
properties: they did not give
more results. We did not have any
favorable therapeutic sanction,
so we said 'phytotherapy,
it's soapy water, it's
rose water...

“The principle is that the aromatic essences


are powerful and can be dangerous to
certain doses.

[Link]
“I refuse and I have always refused to classify.
aromatherapy among alternative medicine, it is
even a dangerous medicine. When we think
that hyssop, rosemary, thuja, anise essence
are convulsants at certain doses. There are
epileptic seizures contracted by patients who
take these essences as they would take a
plain lemon juice at the bistro… It's a medicine
dangerous. And phytotherapy as well.

“One should not believe that even a trivial


infusion is harmless. I often gave the example
from a linden infusion that prevents people from
to sleep!

[Link]
“ The examination of the 'total man' does not
could not be conceived without the study of
the spine.

“Toas you progress over time,


Osteopathy has remained "a science
from nature" to use only
techniques or natural agents. It
remains true to its principles and to

of the land.

“ The effectiveness of a masseur

and from the hand. The hand that must

communicative, beneficial,
magnetic.

“To own their full shares, the


plants must come from good soils, have
harvested in a timely manner, prepared
and preserved with art.

“They (the large chemical trusts) chose a

their work, which is to sell, like that of
the writer is to fill pages. To the nuance
almost by virtue of their extraordinary power

the brain of the indecisive to make them believe that the
modern poisons are indispensable to us.

“Nature still remains, and undoubtedly for

“They are oily products,
volatile and aromatic compounds that are removed
from plants, either by distillation to
the water vapor, either by expression,
either by incision of the plant, or
still by enfleurage... Most
essential oils are more

the heaviest (garlic, cinnamon...).

“Organic farming appears
more and more like the only one

“Culture
biological, alone
known before
the invention of fertilizers
chemicals, is the art
to maintain fertility
natural of the soil. She
consists of maintaining
the humus rate, by
contribution of composts
carefully prepared.
It ensures on the ground its plurality of
life, its organo-mineral balance, its richness in
assimilable trace elements, its natural defense
against parasitic invasions.
