The Bible
An absolute must for therapists working with essential oils in a non-clinical capacity. It is very well written, thorough in content and extremely useful for my practice. I have attended lectures (given by a PhD in neuroscience) on the ability of positive thought to actually alter neural pathways for the better and odours are particularly useful in aiding this process. A gentle massage routine using a delicate blend of oils, soft music and a relaxation routine at the end can have amazingly beneficial results. Thank you for your research and work Ms Wormwood, I am indebted.

Packed full of information, like an encyclopedia!
So much great information in this book. I dip in and out often and always learn something new. Also have The Fragrant Pharmacy by the same author, which I've had for years, and is equally informative. You won't need any other book on Aromatherapy if you have these two.

Highly recommended.
I bought a second hand copy for only 1p + postage so that alone made it a great deal so I ordered copies for a few friends too. This was recommended to me by an aromatherapist as I am studying complementary therapies - as are my friends - and we all love this book. Now several members of our group are also using it. The copies were a little dusty as if they had been in storage for a while but this means they have a lovely smell and feel of old books and are otherwise in perfect condition. This book is full of recipes covering a huge amount of conditions and illnesses so a few could be tried and favourites chosen to use. The dosages are slightly higher than those we are taught to use but I guess this comes with experience and is not a fault of the book as ideas change. I would really recommend it - especially if you can get it so cheap too so there is nothing lost by trying it out.

Buy it, buy it, buy it!
Studying aromatherapy as a mature student, kept seeing this on tutors desk. Don't know why it's not on the reading list as it absolutely should be. A must for every family along with a medicines encyclopaedia, consult this for feeling low, anxiety, pmt, alcohol, drug and nicotine withdrawal, everything to do with the mind. Consult the medicine one for everything a doctor prescribes to your family. Beautifully written, easy to follow, well researched.

A delighful suprise...
An excellent movie shown from a child's perspective. Well photographed with a simple feel good storyline. This film transports you back to 1971 and serves as a superb documentary of that period. Brilliant acting coupled with the Bee Gees supporting the music score. A much overlooked film as recommended by Steve Allen the LBC radio presenter who stated it was one of his favourite feel good films. Give it a try!

Beautiful written, full of information both for the new and the expert in Aromatherapy. I've bought all the three books from the same author.

精油それぞれを人のようにとらえて書かれている本。性格、感情の裏表(大体良し悪しは表裏一体)のハンドリングをするように精油を扱う感じがして、読んでいて面白いです。

Este libro es algo que difícilmente encontrarás con otros autores, es una enciclopedia de 623 páginas, ahora cabe mencionar que de las 623 páginas, solo 80 páginas contienen mezclas para diversos estados emocionales, el resto es un compendio de diversas explicaciones sobre los aceites de manera individual, el uso que se le está dando en diversas ramas de la salud, trae historia y una serie de explicaciones teóricas, si te gusta leer y no solo buscar el chocho mágico para trabajar con tus emociones, será un gran libro para ti, pero si solo buscas mezclas que resuelvan tus diversos estados emocionales, puede quedarse corto para ti, si eres psicólogo o estudioso de la salud mental y buscas alternativas naturales para ayudar a tus pacientes, este libro es perfecto porque te incita al estudio y a profundizar. Creo que no es una lectura para cualquiera, pero si una lectura para los que quieren ver el uso de los aceites para mejorar las emociones como un estudio de vida.
