Like herbalism, aromatherapy draws on the healing powers of the plant world, but instead of using the whole or part of a plant, it employs only its essential oil. Read the first page

A beautiful pictorial of popular essential oil plants!
19 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
I have been practicing, teaching and selling aromatherapy for ten years. As such, I have many books on aromatherapy. This one is unique. I purchased AROMATHERAPY FOR COMMON AILMENTS for the full page, breath taking photographs of 13 essential oil plants. But - it is much more. Illnesses and ways to heal these illnesses with essential oils are discussed. Massage techniques are illustrated and explained. Safety guidelines are outlined. Recipes for blends are given. This is a good book for the beginning aromatherapist. It can also be useful to the more advanced person. Shirley Price is a professional, practicing aromatherapist. Her love and respect for the profession shines through-out this text. Highly recommend!

Aromatherapy for Common Ailments
20 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book especially for beginners. I say that because the book addresses the use of essential oils for the ailments that bother us on a day-to-day basis. I own a shop dealing with aromatherapy, and the most common questions we get are related to specific ailments and essential oils that might be of benefit. This is the book we most often recommend.
