The Art of Aromatherapy

The Art of Aromatherapy : The Healing and Beautifying Properties of the Essential Oils of Flowers and Herbs

by Robert B. Tisserand

This is one of my personal reference books. I have had this great book since it was first published. I refer to it all the time. Even 10 years later. This is probably the best standard reference book available on aromatherapy. Many aromatherapy experts consider Robert Tisserand to be a pioneer in the field. Actually the art of using essential oils from plants goes back many years to the time of the ancient Egyptians.

I think Tisserand does a great job with this book as well as his other work, The Practice of Aromatherapy, which I also have. He not only provides information on how to use the essential oils as tools for natural healing, he provides many recipes for massage and medicinal oils. He also provides recipes for facial masks, ointments and aromatic baths. Over the years I have used many of his recipes with great results on my hair, skin and health. I love his information on how to use the oils with body work such as massage and shiatsu.

I can not recommend this book too highly if you are a fan of aromatherapy or someone who is learning about the ancient art.

Enjoy!
