A rich resource on the applications of aromatherapy and its uses in everyday life, including aromas for the home, business environments, and essences for the elderly.

Another in our natural personal care series that includes The Herbal Body Bookand The Natural Soap Book, this book brings you the many uses of aromatherapy and its applications in everyday life. Recipes consist of simple ingredients available at any grocery or health food store.

Fragrant essences lift the spirits, stimulate the senses and enhance relaxation after a trying day. This practical guide shows how essential oils - used in the home and on the go - can greatly improve the quality of busy lives. Comprehensive information on the essential oils extracted from herbs, flowers, roots, barks, and resins includes which ones to use regularly, which to use with caution, and which to avoid altogether. Dozens of simple step-by-step recipes feature essential oils for combatting stress, PMS, sunburn, and other conditions; scenting homes, offices, and vehicles; creating blends for safe, fragrant cleaning products; and making special mixtures for children and the elderly. An herbalist for fifteen years, Colleen Dodt grows many of the plants she uses in her work. She is the owner of Herbal Endeavours, Ltd., in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and the author of numerous articles on herbs and aromatherapy.
