"rosieliz" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy (Paperback)

If you are a budding professional Aromatherapist, or a keen amateur, Chrissie Wildwood's book is the place to begin your quest for answers to your questions.
Here you will find the bases of what you need to know about Aromatherapy as Chrissie takes you through each stage step by step. Anatomy? Yes. Physiology? Yes. Chemistry? Yes. Massage? Yes. History? Yes. Blending? Yes. Oil information? Yes. All fundamental - but very informative and very well written.
But beware, if your interest is only on a casual basis - this book may well inspire you to delve deeper into the Profession of Aromatherapy and change your life style completely!

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear and comprehensive aid to the therapeutic encounter, 3 Aug 2001

Lady Fancifull "Tinkerbell" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy (Paperback)

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
