This illuminating and imaginative book of aromatherapy is the household manual of the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, straight forward and easy to understand., 20 May 2001
By Ms. A. J. Hayward "Amanda-Jane" (ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first book of Aromatherapy I bought. Since then I have purchased many more books on the subject but I keep referring back to this one as it is consistant, informative and easy to understand.

It covers everything from childbirth to old age, listing aromatherapy solutions to countless conditions (even hiatus hernia). It also covers beauty treatments for all ages and cooking.

A must for the beginner to the advanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply - THE life bible!, 11 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I bought this book a couple of years ago and recently 'found' it again after moving house. It covers absolutely everything, and for beginners it's perfect, from clear easy to read recepies for your own handcream, to what to put in a burner if you feel irritable/stressed. Full drop by drop instructions per recepie - you can't go wrong! I have lavender on the go on my desk while writing this, and I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time...Read this, have a go and you will not be disapointed!
