Publisher's Synopsis: Written in an accessible style and aimed at aromatherapists, practitioners of alternative medicine, and anyone wishing to use aromatherapy to maintain a peaceful equilibrium or bring about positive change, this book concentrates on the mood-changing effects of natural oils. "A good addition to alternative medicine collections."--Library Journal. Midwest Book Review: This encyclopedia of aromatherapy presents the latest scientific research about aroma's effects on the mind and body. This title goes beyond listing aromas for specific ailments: it tells how to mix oils for massage, how to understand herbal mood enhancers, and how to review the information on aromatherapy and personality. An essential handbook. My Comments: It's obvious that the reviewers above had not read Philippe Mailhebiau's "Portraits In Oils' nor the accusations of theft of intellectual property leveled against Ms. Worwood. Of the three, I found far more usable information in Gabriel Mojay's book.
