A good, standard aromatherapy book

If you're just getting interested in aromatherapy, this book is a good one to start with. I started with other books on the subject, but am glad I have this in my library. If you already know a fair bit about aromatherapy, you probably already know most of what's in this book. Even though this book was published originally in 1988, it is still full of valid facts and observations. Nothing about what has been written has changed.In the book Tisserand has listed case histories where use of essential oils has helped a variety of problems, both physical and mental. He gives good background of aromatherapy's historical origins, and makes us aware of the different types of aromatherapy--holistic, medical/clinical and aesthetic. There is a chapter on essential oils, which includes distilling information and traditional maladies certain oils are used for. My favorite is the chapter on home remedies. I'm a home remedy freak--can't have too many of those.
