Beautiful work !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit: A Guide to Restoring Emotional and Mental Balance Through Essential Oils (Paperback)
In this book, the author made an splendid introduction of TCM basics like the Yin Yang theory and 5 elements. Your clearly way to explain and merge the aspects of traditional western Aromatherapy with Chinese Medicine fundaments, do this work a very good way to people interested learn both. The acupressure directions to help in many disorders and the explanations about psychological help of essential oils are other important elements of this book. The author made correlations of each oil "personality" with strong mythological and religious symbols and it help us to "feel" the oil soul even never smell it. This is a very important work and I encourage everybody interested in Aromatherapy and TCM must read it.

emotional/mental/spiritual healing via aromatherapy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit: A Guide to Restoring Emotional and Mental Balance Through Essential Oils (Paperback)
Mojay has presented a lovely, gentle guide to healing the
psyche thru the use of Essential Oils. Introductory chapters
are an overview of Chinese Medical Concepts which are difficult
for my pragmatic Western mind to grasp. However, his pages
on each essential oil are much clearer, referring back to the
oriental concepts, but also describing the effect of each oil
in a terminology I found more comfortable. He gives a loving
description of each EO, an overview of its history, current
therapeutic uses, known safety data, and its impact on the mind and psyche. The
last section of the book deals with Restoring Balance. He
describes various forms of emotional/spiritual imbalance and
gives suggested formulas for dealing with them.
This is, in my opinion, the finest popular work on the market
today dealing with the emotional effects of Aromatherapy.

Wonderful!,

This review is from: Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit: A Guide to Restoring Emotional and Mental Balance Through Essential Oils (Paperback)
This is a wonderful, wonderful book on aromatherapy! Like Valerie Worwood's The Fragrant Mind, it goes beyond essential oils per se and delves into emotions. And he does so complete with beautiful line illustrations on the margins and photographs in full living color. Guaranteed to delight you!
