A practical guide to the topical application of essential oils for
physical and emotional health and healing Well known for their
aromatherapy applications, essential oils also have outstanding
healing abilities when absorbed through the skin. Applied topically
they work well for wound healing, arthritis, inflammation, and skin
conditions. Because all of the cells in the body are
interconnected, they also affect underlying organs, systems, and
soft tissues, influencing hormone release, gently relieving pain
and stress, and offering antimicrobial protection against
pathogens, viruses, and bacteria. Focusing on 15 essential oils
that form a safe and effective "tool kit" for treating a broad
range of ailments and conditions, from acne, anxiety, and asthma to
psoriasis, shingles, and painful periods, Heather Dawn Godfrey
explores how these essential oils complement and support each
other's healing properties and can be blended together to offer
dynamic, customizable treatments for each unique individual. She
examines the body's many absorption pathways, explaining how even
the internal organs have odor receptors and how applying essential
oils in different ways has specific influences on the body's
systems. Offering guidelines for safe application, including
recommendations for children and the elderly, the author provides
easy-to-reference charts and tables to select the appropriate oil
or oils for each situation, and she explains which essential oils
should be avoided during pregnancy and by those with specific
conditions such as cancer. Presenting scientific profiles for the
15 main essential oils discussed, Godfrey also explores
complementary therapies that increase the effectiveness of
essential oils, including Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, and she
details the colors, chakras, gemstones, and crystals that
correspond with each oil. She provides recipes for proper dilution
and the best carrier mediums, including creams, compresses,
lotions, and ointments. Written for both healthcare professionals
and for self-care, this hands-on guide will allow you to
effectively treat acute and chronic conditions as well as
incorporate essential oils into daily life for physical, emotional,
and spiritual well-being.
