| | Aromatic oils have been used for thousands of years
— and not only for their fragrance, but for culinary,
therapeutic, ritual, and spiritual purposes.
Professional therapists Peter and Kate Damian
explore how aromatherapy can be used to enhance almost every aspect of our lives — from the treatment of high blood pressure to stress reduction and healing depression. Smell is a fundamental component of our mood, memory and appetite, and key to bonds formed between people, like mothers and babies, or between lovers. Here the Damians introduce readers to the fascinating history of aromatherapy, as well as the basic theory of disease, the all important psychology of scent, and a wide range of therapeutic treatments and uses of essential oils. There’s also an interesting section on new theories for the future of aromatherapy, as well as an accessible guide to forty four essential oil profiles. |
