The Fragrant Pharmacy - Valerie Ann Worwood.

One of the most holistic of all systems of medicine, the oils can alleviate symptoms, prevent many illnesses and disorders and help in their healing process. Furthermore, they can provide all of us - our families, our homes, even our pets - with the protections and pleasures we need without the chemical pollution of our bodies or our environment. This illuminating and imaginative book of aromatherapy has been described as the household manual of the future. It is a treasury of information about precious life and health enhancing liquids that work in complex harmony with people and planet alike. Here is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of 'medicines out of the earth', those miracles of creation which revitalise and rejuvenate, enhance our emotions and help our work and play. It charts out for all of us a fragrant way to family health and home delights.
