Aromatherapy An A-Z by Patricia Davis

The most comprehensive guide to aromatherapy ever published. This is the most up to date encyclopaedia of aromatherapy available today, with over 400 entries covering 82 essential oils and more than 200 conditions. All the entries are comprehensive and provide an easy to understand introduction to a wide range of topics. The properties of essential oils are clearly explained, as are the health conditions that benefit from them. There is practical advice on treatment and on oils that are potentially beneficial or hazardous. Simple recipes and formulae for baths, creams and tonics are included in the appendices. 'The A-Z has earned and kept its place amongst the handful of indispensable reference books on aromatherapy The range and scope of practical information and guidance gathered within these pages is absolutely staggering, and the affection and respect in which the A-Z is held by the practising aromatherapist is a thoroughly deserved accolade to this book that has been justly called ''the aromatherapists's bible?'
