Alternative Medicine Books about aromatherapy


What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy, commonly associated with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), is the use of volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other aromatic compounds from plants to affect someone's mood or health. The word was coined in the 1920s by French chemist Ren Maurice Gattefoss.

The main branches of aromatherapy include:
  • Home aromatherapy (self treatment, perfume & cosmetic use)
  • Clinical aromatherapy (as part of pharmacology and pharmacotherapy)
  • Aromachology (the psychology of odors and their effects on the mind)

Reviews:

Exceptionally well researched and written
I read Ms. Scheffer's first book "Bach Flower Therapy" nearly 20 years ago and found it to be a very useful resource. "The Encyclopedia Of Bach Flower Therapy" includes the information in her earlier book with new information and insights gleaned from years of application, study, and research. This is the one of the most comprehensive and legitimate explications of Bach Flower remedies that exists (Dr. Bach's original texts notwithstanding). If you want to study the use of Bach Flower Essences as a beginner or advanced user, then look no further. The contrasting explanations of essences which appear similar (Aspen & Mimulus; Crab Apple & Pine; Holly & Willow, etc.) are truly wonderful and helpful when diagnosing mental states -- worth the price of the book alone. I have worked with Bach Essences for over 20 years and can attest to the value and validity of this book!
