Essential Oils and Aromatics : A Step-by-Step Guide for Use in Massage and Aromatherapy

Aromatic plants that open up a whole new world of crafts and real medical benefits - in the form of clearer heads, elevated moods, and strengthened immune systems - are the focus of this herbal handbook.

The easy-to-follow instructions explain how to add essential oils extracted from herbs and flowers to water in vaporisers, melted wax for candles, and oils for bathing and massage.

Herbal recipes include a bath of lavender, bergamot, and cedar for winding down after a hard day at work; the scents of geranium to ease nervousness; and eucalyptus, hyssop, lavender, or lemongrass for cold and cough relief.
