Directory of Essential Oils by Wanda Sellar

The most comprehensive collection of facts relating to essential oils ever offered with Aromatherapists in mind

About this book… Budding sales of essential oils delight the traders but can present a potential hazard to the consumer. The tiny bottles, easily bought in a variety of outlets, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Whilst they are safe in the hands of trained therapists, the consumer could be asking for trouble if not forewarned abou their various properties.
Here is a directory of essential oils. All those in popular use and many unusual ones are included. Each oil is extensively categorised, containing entries such as a description of the aroma, history, mind, body, precautions, chemical constituants, properties, effect on skin, blends etc.
With an extensive glossary and blending chart, here is a ready reckoner no aromatherapist should be without.

"The research put into production of this book is mined-boggling,making it the most comprehensive collection of facts relating to essential oils ever offered with aromatherapists in mind (earlier ones were very much geared to the perfume industry) and contains much information that is not readily available from other sources. A real 'must' for every aromatherapist's bookshelf." Aromatherpy Quarterly
