4.0 out of 5 stars Clinical Aromatherapy for Pregnancy and Childbirth, October 12, 2003

This review is from: Clinical Aromatherapy for Pregnancy and Childbirth (Paperback)

This is definately a book for midwives or aromatherapists taking an active part in a clients pregnancy and labour. Denise is exceptional in her field and is certainly making a effort to bring down the boundries, incorporating aromatherapy into a field that is dominated by the current medical field. I certainly found this book informative, if some what heavy duty reading with all the clinical back up, but understand the necessity thereof. The only reason why I gave four instead of five stars to this book was that I had really hoped that there would have been more illustrations and techniques on the massage aspect of aromatherapy during pregnancy.
