the art of Aromatherapy

This is a solid resource although a little dated. It is a great place to get the history of aromatherapy from an expert in the field. The emphasis is also on the mind/body connection and the holistic nature of aromatherapy.

The Art of Aromatherapy

In my opinion, a good reference book on medical aromatherapy. It provides a basic principles section, as well as an overview of the human body systems. Chapter 11 reviews, discusses and details many of the major essential oils used in clinical practice. It is a fabulous reference section and provides much useful information. The book also provides recipes using key essential oils for a wide variety of health issues and health problems. Tisserand also devotes a whole chapter on skin care and that is worth reading just on it own. All round a very useful book to have; and Yes, it's on our bookshelf.
