All Chrissie Wildwood's books go well beyond a prescriptive 'do-this-blend-for-this-condition' approach. Her books have great integrity and seek to empower the reader by explaining reasons. Particularly helpful is the anatomy, physiology and pathology sections, looking at the structure and functions of different bodymind systems, and explaining the actions of suggested essential oils in context. Though this is reaally a book for the practitioner, rather than the keen amateur, the clarity and friendliness of her writing style mean that this is also a book which the home user might find extremely fascinating too

Gift for a trainee therapists
My copy was a requested gift from a trainee aromatherapist as she said it was her teacher's 'bible'. She was delighted to have her own copy.
