Description

The third in a series which includes "The Herbal Body Book" and "The Natural Soap Book", this is a practical guide to aromatherapy. Focusing on much more than professional massage and medicinal uses, the author suggests that anyone can create their own personal blends and shows precisely how it may be achieved. The reader is provided with recipes containing herbs, roots, flowers, barks and resins for the creation of inexpensive, healthy, aromatic preparations for home, work and travel. Essential oils - such as lavendar, sandalwood, sage, grapefruit and patchouli - are featured in preparations for combatting stress, PMT, sunburn and other conditions, and their individual properties and safe applications are outlined.
