Product Description
Product Description
Valerie Ann Worwood's The Fragrant Pharmacy has become the classic encyclopaedia of aromatherapy and essential oils. Now, in this companion volume, The Fragrant Mind, she paves a unique new way for aromatherapy, concentrating on the emotional, psychological and mood-changing effects of nature's essential oils.
The Fragrant Mind falls into three parts. Part One presents a fascinating background to the subject, and explains how essential oils work on the brain. Part Two explains how essential oils can enhance emotional well-being and promote positive feelings, and includes a practical A-Z section which advises on a wide range of emotional problems, from stress and depression to moodiness and insomnia. Part Three introduces a whole new concept in aromatherapy - personality enhancement - and explains the particular characteristics of individual essential oils and how they can be matched to human personality types. You can find out, for example, whether you are a Floral, Herbie, Rootie, Woodie, Fruitie or Seedie type, and create your own tailor-made personality blends.
Encyclopaedic in scope, and based on the most up-to-date research, The Fragrant Mind offers a wealth of information in an easy, accessible style, and shows the way in which essential oils can influence our minds and emotions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant book,
This review is from: The Fragrant Mind: Aromatherapy for Personality, Mind, Mood and Emotion (Paperback)
I love this book! I bought it as I wanted to try and use aromatherapy to boost my eldest son's morale and make him feel better about himself (he's dyslexic and has a lot of down days at school). This book was much better than I expected. It's well written; the author really knows her subject and must have spent many years researching it. It's simple to understand and easy to follow the recipes given. The author has also written The Fragrant Pharmacy which is about using the oils for medicinal purposes. This is also a great book and I can't recommend the pair of books any higher! I'm looking forward to buying more essential oils so I can have fun mixing them with the aid of these two books!

An excellent aid for both medical staff and patients,

This review is from: The Fragrant Mind: Aromatherapy for Personality, Mind, Mood and Emotion (Paperback)
As an aromatherapist working in both in-patient and community psychiatry, this book gives an invaluable insight into how aromatherapy can aid the mood in conjunction with orthodox medication. My copy of The Fragrant Mind has done the rounds with many of the psychiatrics and nursing staff. So much so, that I haven't seen my copy for a while! After reading this book many of the staff have taken a keen interest in aromatherapy - much to the pleasure of the clients, who have found the service so stress reducing that they would like aromatherapy available 24/7!

This review is from: The Fragrant Mind: Aromatherapy for Personality, Mind, Mood and Emotion (Paperback)
I have done a review on 'The Fragrant Pharmacy' and this book follows along the same lines but is not about the physical but the mental. There is so much stress in our everyday lives and this book helps. I'm glad I bought the 2 books together as they go hand in hand and I generally flick between the two.
