A Guide to Aromatherapy

An introduction to aromatherapy and the use of essential oils. "Essential oils are the concentrated extracts of plants and flowers, the life force of the plant. They are found in flowers, leaves, resins, seeds, roots and grasses. Each oil has its own individual properties and special effects. When properly administered, the effects of essential oils can be either stimulating or relaxing, depending on the oils selected. They can soothe and heal the mind, beautify the skin and body, stimulate the senses or induce feelings of calmness." Author: Susanne Blake
