A
Reviewer: Beginners
rush order this book. I just received my 5th books on this subject and
found this book by
far the best of all of them. Franzesca writes for the beginner and for
those who have years in the field. I especially like the way she explains
mixing oils. For example other books use per cents and ml but Franzesca
goes further and gives drop amounts. This is very helpful for the novice.
This is a book you will continually refer back to. Thank Franzesca.
The ancient
Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all practiced aromatherapy, but it is only
in the last decade that the benefits of aromatic oils have been generally
recognized.
This encyclopedia of remedies and techniques covers every application
of aromatherapy from cosmetic and clinical to perfumery and explains how
aromatic oils can be used simply and effectively to treat a wide variety
of health complaints.
Full-color illustrations.
