5.0 out of 5 stars The aromatherapy "Bible" for health care professionals., June 2, 1999

This review is from: Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing (Paperback)

Rather than being just another aromatherapy cookbook, Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing is a comprehensive guide on the use of this complementary modality in the clinical arena. It provides a strong clinical focus from the nursing perspective, including the incorporation of Aromatherapy into the Nursing Diagnosis and Care Plan as well as regulations and health and safety policies.

The author presents a refreshing and very compassionate approach to nursing care, one that I feel could fundamentally change the paradigm of the way we deliver care to our patients. For nurses who are experiencing care-giver burnout, this book is an inspiration to what our profession is really about.

While this book will not qualify a nurse to practice clinical aromatherapy without formal training, it will be an instrumental framework for incorporating this modality into the nursing model.

Having completed Janes 5 module training program after reading this book, I can highly recommend both the book and the course to all health care professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for MASSAGE THERAPISTS as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, February 20, 1999

This review is from: Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing (Paperback)

As a Licensed Massage Therapist working primarily with people in pain, I HIGHLY recommend this book. Jane has done a beautiful job explaining the therapeutic potential of Aromatherapy dealing with problems such as pain, inflammation, stress management (and much, much more) on the physical as well as emotional level, all of which we encounter in our daily practice. This book is an excellent reference for Massage Therapists who want to use Aromatherapy as a complement to their practice. Don't be without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for nurses working with aromatherapy in any setting, November 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing (Paperback)

This book covers aspects of aromatherapy of interest to the scientific minded, the nursing professional as well as anyone wanting to get a broader view of how to apply this complimantary healing art to their lives. The author has provided well documented information about the use of essential oils in nursing and also brings up many issues which surround compliemntary therapies in the traditional healing professions. This book is a great resource, covering information from the scientific make up of the oils to the practical situations in which they can be used in nursing practice. Highly recommended.
