Beautifully illustrated introductions to the most popular alternative therapies

In an accessible and attractive package, each Naturally Better title covers a single therapy, explaining its history and lore, how it works, and how and when to practice it at home. The series begins with four of the more popular alternative therapies: Aromatherapy, Acupressure, T'ai Chi, and Herbal Remedies.

Aromatherapy introduces the concept of essential oils and essences, explaining how to prepare and use them in infusions, baths, and massages. Acupressure shows how to use various massage and pressure techniques to release the chi, the essential body energy, and relieve certain illnesses and symptoms. T'ai Chi offers a brief introduction to this martial art, showing the basic movements and patterns that promote flexibility and relieve tension. Finally, Herbal Remedies introduces a wide range of medicinal herbs and demonstrates their uses and preparations.

Each book gives explicit step-by-step instructions through full-color photos and illustrations. A section on specific symptoms and their treatments rounds out the package. Beautifully illustrated, innovatively packaged, and expertly written, the Naturally Better books will inform while they entertain.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice compact visually appealing book for beginners, July 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Aromatherapy: An Introduction to the Essential Oils and Their Therapeutic Uses (Naturally Better Series) (Naturally Better Book Series) (Hardcover)
in seven words that's my review of this book. i think it's great value for your money. let me say that i have 5 or 6 books on aromatherapy, and this is one of the books i like best and keep opening to read or just to look at from time to time. (the other being Gabriel Mojay's aromatherapy for healing the spirit.) this book is just about right for beginners, with clear, concise descriptions of different oils, often with pictures of the plants or flowers or fruits they came from. there are very helpful sections on starting out, like choosing oils, what they're good for, proper storage, what materials you will need. there even is a step-by-step guide to an aromatherapy massage. for a rather short and small book, this one sure packs a lot of power. i am very delighted to have bought it. this book does a great job of whetting your appetite for more information on aromatherapy.
