the most comprehensive practical guide to the history, folklore,

origins and applications of aromatics, from the mythical Queen of
Sheba to Rene-Maurice Gatefosse, the author traces the medical,
alchemical, and spiritual development of this healing art from
classical civilizations up to the present. He explains the
mysteries of the olfactory system and how this most ancient sensory

actions. He shows how to use appropriate plant essences for
beautifying, cleansing, and healing the body, as well as in
massage, aromatic baths, ritual, and spiritual practice. He also
addresses the controversy surrounding different methods of
administration and explores in depth the risks, benefits, and
safety guidelines for each technique. Addressing the fundamental
issues of purity and quality, the author discusses the various
methods of extraction in detail and includes a special section
devoted to the art of blending. He offers specific formulas for
common disorders such as digestive and circulatory ailments,
headaches, insomnia, and menstrual and sexual problems. Lavabre
also includes extensive reference tables to provide the reader with
concise information on each essential oil and its therapeutic uses.
This revised edition offers a perfect step-by-step guide for
beginners as well as an ongoing reference for practicing
aromatherapists.
