What's Inside

Julia Lawless's Encyclopedia of Essential Oils is rightfully regarded as one of the primary reference books for anyone who wants to explore essential oils and their uses in aromatherapy. Wonderfully organized and simply easy-to-use, it is far and will become the most frequently-consulted volume in your aromatherapy library.

The book includes a concise outline of the history, chemistry and use of essential oils, although this section is more of a summary/review than a primer for beginners to the field. The heart of the book is Lawless's admirably consistent, clear and detailed presentation of 165 common and uncommon essential oils. In a spacious, well- organized and convenient lay-out, she gives each plant's common name, Latin name and synonyms; its description and distribution; related species; traditional therapeutic and herbal uses; extraction and distillation methods; the aroma and appearance of the oil; chemical compounds and safety data on Table of Contents
