Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Aromatherapy for Health Professionals (Paperback)
I had read several books on essential oils and aromatherapy. Some were filled with anti-Western medicine rhetoric, others were focused on cosmetics, while others contained good anecdotes with recipes interspersed. I use these, but was looking for something else, which I couldn't really articulate. I haven't finished reading this, but it is exactly what I was looking for. It combines practical application with reasonable science while focusing on healing. The book is written in the context of the UK medical system, which doesn't match the US system very well, but it isn't hard to generalize the concepts to a different venue. In the back are several appendices listing the recommendations and summarizing the findings. Definitely worth the time and money.
