Description
Aiming to open the way to a world of fresh opportunities, this book approaches nature through one of its most powerful forms - fragrant essential oils, drawn from flowers and grasses, trees and roots, leaves and fruit. Essential oils have many properties which are explained in this guide. Remedies for sports injuries, sunburn and stress, are described alongside preparations for health and beauty, for pregnancy and childbirth and for general well-being. There are chapters on how essential oils can be used throughout the home - for cooking and even in petcare. Valerie Ann Worwood is the author of "Aromantics".
