Product Description
Product Description
Now in a brand new Fourth Edition, this classic text - which for many years has proved an indispensible reference for complementary therapists using massage in their discipline - has now been carefully updated, considerably enlarged and newly presented. The book is still usefully divided into clear, easy to use sections, but each now contains far more information. There are 60 vegetable carrier oils discussed in detail, with useful tables, a glossary, a cross reference chart of common ailments, a thorough index, a discussion of essential fatty acids and their impact on bodily health, and other valuable appendices. Also new for this edition is the inclusion of a wide selection of culinary recipes created to combine the therapeutic value of the carrier oils with flavourful, simple to prepare, healthy meals. A bible for all complementary practitioners and a veritable storehouse of knowledge for anyone interested in increasing their understanding of carrier oils, this celebrated book - the first of its kind - is unmissable.
Taken from Aromatherapy World, Distillation 1999 journal of the International Society of Professional Aromatherapists
This book is not only informative and interesting, but is also an important addition to the therapist's library. Like all good text books it helps us all to be more aware of what we don't know and give us an appetite for learning more.
I recommend the book to you, the only problem being that once you start reading it, you will not be able to put it down!

The updated book is an excellent comprehensive book on carrier oils. It is aimed at complementary therapists and hits that target audience perfectly. It is well referenced and does its job well. I would recommend it for all those that use carrier oil in massage and aromatherapy.

Very informative - laid out in easy to read way. A book all aromatherapists should have by their side - knowledge in carriers is just as important as the essential oils and this book is just that.
