| | We are all drawn by the sensuous appeal of such fragrant essences such as rose, jasmine, and lavender, but the knowledge of their practical application in healing is largely unknown. The essential oils of flowers and herbs have been used since the dawn of civilization for their healing, beautifying, and soothing properties. Robert Tisserand’s guide shows how to use essential oils as a gentle, harmless, yet effective method of natural healing. In The Art of Aromatherapy, twenty-nine essences are described in detail, with a list of their properties and applications. Tables of evaporation rate and odor intensity are provided along with a complete glossary of medical terms and a therapeutic index that lists more than 100 illnesses and the essential oils used in treating them. |
