Practical Art of Aromatherapy: Create Your Own Personalized Beauty Treatments and Natural Remedies Book

"The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and scented massage every day," proclaimed Hippocrates well over 2,000 years ago. The 1990s have marked a growing interest in the use and application of aromatic oils derived from plants, and Practical Art of Aromatherapy serves as an excellent introduction to this fragrant, healing world. Explore the qualities of different oils, from the calming, soothing effects of lavender to the invigorating and stimulating properties of lemon, and experiment with a wide variety of therapeutic applications. Choose from a diverse set of recipes (or invent your own) to create perfumes, fragrances for the home, bath and massage oils, and lotions and ointments for a variety of body needs. This attractively illustrated book is both practical and easy to reference; its compact size ensures that it will fit conveniently next to aromatherapy enthusiasts' ever-growing collection of essential oils. --Matthew Reid-SchwartzRead More
