Each drop of essential oil is a pharmacy. Danielle was inspired to
write this book when she developed extreme skin sensitivities,
irritations and rashes that didn't improve even after visits to
skin specialists who only prescribed topical treatments and
conventional therapies. When the symptoms didn't subside, she took
matters into her own hands and sought out a natural-medicine
healing approach through essential oils. This comprehensive book
provides a wealth of evidence-based information that provides a
sensible and sound approach when it comes to creating your own
natural product formulas. In no time at all, you'll be creating
signature products that are just right for your face and body. The
Aromatherapy Beauty Guide is broken down into four user-friendly
sections: PART 1: The Foundation - * Includes information on
everything from anatomy of the skin, the mind-body connection, dry
and sensitive skin to ageing and ageing sensitive skin; * Creating
your own skin care products without chemicals or preservatives and
the chemistry of essential oils. PART 2: Basic Ingredients - *
Information on the raw ingredients you'll need to get started
(clays, waxes, extracts, etc) as well as carrier oil, plant butter
and infused herbals. PART 3: Essential Oils - * All about essential
oils including the biosynthesis of an essential oil and a directory
of the oils best suited to personal care products from Bergamot to
Lemongrass and Ylang Ylang. PART 4: Making Your Own Personal Care
Products - * Easy-to-follow instructions on creating products for
the face, body, bath, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and personal
care products for men. Making your own natural botanical creams and
lotions is surprisingly simple and very satisfying - you'll soon be
on the road to recovery and living a more natural lifestyle.
