Product Description

Product Description

"Aromatherapy for Health Professionals" covers the full spectrum of theory and practice from essential oil science and the foundations of practice to the application of aromatherapy for specific conditions. The fourth edition of this highly successful book provides a clear and authoritative introduction to aromatherapy as practiced in modern health care settings. It gives valuable information for any health professional wishing to develop their understanding of the subject, providing the in-depth knowledge needed to use essential oils in the practice environment. The following are new for this edition: two new chapters - Wound Care and Bereavement - provide valuable additions to the text; the chapter 'Aromas, Mind and Body' has been enhanced; several new essential oils - giving properties, indications and cautions - have been added; new case histories illustrate the practical application of theory and techniques described; and, references have been updated and new research added. The book is supported by a CD-ROM of ancillary tables covering essential oils for general use in health-care settings including indications for safe, therapeutic uses of essential oils; those to be used with caution; and, essential oil definitions.

Format:Paperback
As a recently qualified nurse I have been brought up on evidence-based practice. Shirley Price certainly offers this with well-referenced texts, fully documented evidence, and examples of anecdotal evidence from informed practitioners. There is however, a reluctance to acknowledge the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary aproach to healing by an insistance that aromatherapy is sufficient in it's own right without the need to incorporate skills related to nursing. This is understandable in a climate of complementary medicine having to justify it's own existance in the world of modern medicine. There is detailed information on antiseptic/bacterial/viral qualities of oils. The paragraph on the use of essential oils with learning disabilities was disappointing - referring only to the oils which should not be used as opposed to what could be used for various cognitive actions. There was also little reference to aromathrapy for smell-memory, dementia, short-term memory integration and epilepsy management.

This is the one I keep coming back to, I love the alphabetical section with tremendous detail on the selected essential oils. It seems to me a totally professional text and the most useful, although I have Battaglia and various others including Jane Buckle, which would be my top three. I am also a nurse but I don't share the first reviewer's views. It is obviously written by someone with tremendous experience and is very well referenced. It would always be nice to have more information, eg on dementia care, (my field), which the reviewer mentions, but in fact there is little research based information on that anyway! I unhesitatingly recommend it.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. It combines practical application with reasonable science while focusing on healing.

In the back are several appendices listing the recommendations and summarizing the findings.

Definitely worth the time and money.
