Who Will Find This Book Essential?

If you are looking to deepen and broaden your knowledge of essential oils in Aromatherapy then this book is excellent. It's 296 pages of scientific research by Kurt to find out 'why' essential oils work they way they do. Through a journey of what odor is, how plants are different from region to region (basil oil isn't just basil oil). His places in the book a personal perspective on Aromatherapy without allowing the esoteric to shroud common sense.

This books is a must for the professional and amateur aromatherapist, this is not a recipe book, but a strong grounding in understanding the nature of essential oils.

Invaluable for the amateur and professional Aromatherapist.

In an era when Western allopathic medicine has less and less appeal, this self-care method is a potent alternative, with roots going back to ancient times. Dr. Schaubelt has a gift for presenting facts and information in a way that is intriguing and easy to assimilate. In the flood of "coffee table" aromatherapy books currently available, this is a much needed and welcome source for those truly interested in taking responsibility for their own health.

Other books by Schnaubelt

His book on Advanced Aromatherapy The Science of Essential Oil Therapy is a lighter read than this book. I would recommend it if your fairly new to essential oils.
