Customer Review: An excellent introduction to aromatherapy
Shirley Price is internationally known as a leading aromatherapist, and has here produced a book which covers a great deal of ground in a relatively short space. She gives a general introduction to aromatherapy and its background, profiles 47 essential oils individually as well as providing a therapeutic index and some very sensible recipes for the commoner ailments, and provides a selection of case histories, both Price’s own and from her colleagues. The oil profiles and charts are clearly laid out and simple to follow; they are concise but still go into quite a bit of detail. Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy techniques, such as blending oils or using them in the bath, are explained well, and at all times her suggested practices and essential oil dilutions are practical and safe. Massage techniques (effleurage, p?trissage and frictions) are clearly explained and a whole-body massage sequence suggested, with good illustrations. There are also chapters on skin care and some other disciplines, namely reflexology and shiatsu. Again background and techniques are given a basic but thorough discussion, and routines given for those who wish to incorporate these other complementary therapies into their aromatherapy treatments. This was the first book I bought on aromatherapy and it kept me going for a long time. While those who go on to study aromatherapy seriously will, sooner or later, want books that discuss its various aspects in more depth, for an all-round introduction to the subject that will give you a good working amateur knowledge, this book is a great place to start.
Customer Review: Packed with information and recipes
I have several books on aromatherapy but found none as useful as this. It was my very first and I still use it more often than any of the more expensive books. It has very easy to follow charts showing compatability of oils to each other and to a particular ailment. I have tried many of the suggested recipes with great results - the oils for backache are extremely effective. Well worth the nominal amount asked for this book.
