What the blurb on the back says...

"Every culture throughout history has found ways to distil herbs, spices and flowers into perfumes, lotions and oils, for pleasurable and medicinal uses. Every day we benefit from inhaling sweet aromas, whether indulging in expensive perfume, taking in the scent of a bouquet of fresh flowers or filling the house with fragrant potpourris.

The healing powers of scent go much further than this, and in the ancient art of aromatherapy, distilled essential oils of certain plants are used for specific benefits in therapy and natural health.

The book contains all you need to know to use aromatherapy safely and effectively. You will learn how the oils are produced, which ones you should use and how to benefit from their scent by adding a few drops to your bath, or using oil burners to scent the room. The therapeutic powers of aromatherapy are also delivered using massage techniques, and this book offers routines that will help you relieve insomnia, alleviate indigestion, soothe headaches and promote relaxation. Each routine is illustrated with step-by-step photographs and includes a choice of recommended blends.

The Power of Aroma reveals how to harness the wonderful powers and benefits of nature in one of the world's most ancient natural therapies."
