We are all individuals and should therefore be treated as such. This is one of the biggest reasons why people argue.  Someone thinks a certain remedy is good for them and they use everything in their power to try and convince the other person that they should be using the same. It is the same with religion, but I am not going to get into that.
As we are all different we respond differently to different things.

Why is it better to take the individual approach?
Let''s take headache as an example: if you have a headache, rather than throwing a painkiller down your throat - which might eliminate the symptom but not the source, let's think about the source of the problem. Headaches may be caused by many factors, sometimes it will be for stress and tension reasons - where Lavender comes in very handy. In other cases it may be as a result of a neck injury or repetitive stress in which case (as well as suggesting a chiropractic treatment) I might want to use an oil or a mixture of oils that will help relax your muscles and work as a natural painkiller, like for example eucalyptus or wintergreen.

Another example: two people may show up both with stomach pain, but after consulting with them, I will realize that one person has problems at work which is most likely causing the upset stomach while the other is at the same time recovering from a bad break-up. I may use some of the same oils in a blend to treat their stomachache, but in addition I will use certain oils that will reduce the stress levels, like Lavender or Marjoram in the first case and certain other ones, like Rose to help the person in the second case recover from a broken heart.
