Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Chamomile oil soothes muscle aches, sprains, and swollen joints and is helpful as a GI antispasmodic.
Rationale 2: Eucalyptus feels cool to the skin and warm to muscles; decreases fever; relieves pain; and acts as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, and expectorant to the respiratory system in a steam inhalation. It can also boost the immune system.
Rationale 3: Lavender oil is calming and is used as a sedative for insomnia. It may be massaged around the temples for headache, inhaled to speed recovery from colds or flu, and massaged into the chest to decrease congestion. It can also be used to heal burns.
Rationale 4: Tea tree oil is good for athlete's foot as an antifungal. It can be used to soothe insect bites, stings, cuts, and wounds. It can be bathed in for yeast infection, and drops on a handkerchief can be used for coughs or congestion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This type of alternative therapy does not appear to affect blood pressure.
Rationale 2: This type of alternative therapy does not appear to affect the cardiac system.
Rationale 3: Some oils can trigger bronchial spasms, so persons with asthma should consult their primary health care provider before using oils.
Rationale 4: This type of alternative therapy does not appear to affect cancer.
