Aromatic oils have been used for thousands of years not only for
their fragrance but for culinary, therapeutic, ritual, and
spiritual purposes. More than a fashionable trend, aromatherapy is
coming into its own as a body of knowledge and practice with
specific applications that have a solid scientific base. Drawing on
research and clinical studies, Peter and Kate Damian look at many
applications from treating viral infections with garlic or black
pepper oil to using rose oil to relax patients undergoing
chemotherapy; from aromatic massage to the "environmental
fragrancing" of subways and supermarkets.
