Here is the missing link in Essential Oil literature, the first
modern work written by the man who coined the word 'Aromatherapy.'
In July 1910 Rene- Maurice Gattefosse discovered the healing
properties of lavender oil after severely burning his hands in a
laboratory explosion. This led him into a lifetime of research into
Essential Oils. His remarkable book was first published in 1937 and
has been out of print for many years. Now translated, it has been
edited by Robert Tisserand, author of three books on aromatherapy
(including the best-seller, The Art of Aromatherapy), editorial
adviser of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
and editor of The International Journal of Aromatherapy. The book
is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern knowledge and
aromatherapists will find it an essential tool of reference.
Extensive notes are provided by Robert Tisserand at the back of the
book. Chapters include those on human smells and animal smells,
toxicity, the properties of essential oils and their constituents,
the treatment of many diseases, and over fifty case studies from
doctors.
Here is an intensive study of nearly fifty plants and essences,
investigating their history, properties, uses and methods of
application. Case histories are provided, as well as information on
the gathering and conservation of plants and a glossary of medical
terms
Essential oils possess hard-working properties that provide
effective natural solutions to help with beauty care, housework,
gardening, and - of course - our health. Better still, you don't
even need a whole pharmacy cabinet full of them! Just six key oils
will cover all your needs. This book presents the six oils you
can't do without - tea tree, lemon, lavender, peppermint, rosemary
cineole and damask rose - and reveals their multi-purpose powers.
Discover effective remedies to alleviate common conditions from
anxiety and insomnia to high blood pressure and arthritis, plus
pamper treatments including massages, baths, lotions and face
masks. There are also magic formulas and miracle solutions for
keeping rooms clean and fragrant, banishing dog and cat fleas,
ensuring your plants stay bug-free - and a whole host more!
Although the use of essential oils to help physical, mental and
emotional problems has been thoroughly investigated and described
over the past few decades, this is the first book devoted solely to
their use on a subtle or spiritual level. Written by the author of
the best-selling aromatherapy book of all time, Aromatherapy An
A-Z, it examines the applications of aromatherapy in personal and
spiritual growth, meditation and healing. Topics covered include
Vibrational Healing, The Role of the Healer, Methods of Use, Chakra
Energy, Essential Oils and Crystals, Meditation etc., etc., with
detailed notes on the subtle properties of the individual oils.
