THE WORLD OF AROMATHERAPY/jeanne rose,
By Mary Patterson (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Aromatherapy (Paperback)
I found this collection of essays by 35 of the best known names/teachers in aromatherapy to be excellent. Here is information written with verve and style about distillation, hydrosols, aromatic chemistry, botany, ancient Egyptian embalming with essential oils and unguents. A fabulous skin care chapter is followed by a delicious essay by Barbara Bobo 'bathing in the souls of flowers', there is an entire section on nurturing yourself through pregnancy with essential oils and how to take care of children with the correct essential oils. How can you miss the blending essential oils for personal perfumery or the culinary part, teaches how to use essential oils to flavor and fragrance foods. The oilss themselves are mentioned and several important case studies using the essences are included. There is a great section on business and research for those who want to start an aromatic business and do aromatherapy consultations. And lastly, a 14 year old high school student shows you how to set up an aromatherapy project to proove or disprove that it works. And of course there is a great source list and bibliography. Jeanne Rose is fantastic, her co-editor too. This is a great book.

The Voices of Aromatherapy,
By Kimberly Ayers (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Aromatherapy (Paperback)
Bound to become a timeless classic in the field of aromatherapy The World of Aromatherapy is a beautiful treasure to have. Among the many noted contributing authors are Jeanne Rose, Valerie Worwood, Shirley Price, Victoria Edwards,and Mindy Green to name a few. The book covers a wide variety of subjects~ distillation, hydrosols, the science of essential oils, case studies, botany, skin care, perfumery, pregnancy and essential oil profiles among other subjects. There is also an interesting chapter on Synthetic vs. natural oils as well as a beautiful chapter titled: Bathing in the Souls of Flowers. A great addition to any aromatherapy library.

I keep this book near my essential oil stash!,
By Spin Again "spinagain" (Bham, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Aromatherapy (Paperback)
I have owned this book for a couple of years and find myself using it as my main essential oil reference. It is said when the student is ready the teacher appears. Because this book is actually the combined work of many teachers it seems this student (me) happens upon just the right intriguing oil blend at just the right time on an almost weekly basis.
One article entitled the Medicine Tin of Five Essential Oils was so helpful it inspired me to create my own seasonal gift pack which includes the involved oils. My friends it.
