Medical Aromatherapy: Healing with Essential Oils

"This is a wonderful and fascinating book, which takes an area of essential oil studies which often fills students with dread and/or boredom - essential oil chemistry, and renders the subject fascinating, exciting and properly mysterious - that is, containing mystery, magic, something of wonder. I found the section on the commonality of chemistry with many living organisms absolutely mind blowing. He does not see the world of matter/science as separate from the world of spirit, or that matter makes a nonsense of spirit - but conveys the idea that spirit infuses matter. He shows that essential oil science/chemistry is so exciting!!"

"This distinguished organic chemist shares his in-depth knowledge of the particular current value of essential oils, for health on all levels. In an era when Western allopathic medicine has less and less appeal, this self-care method is a potent alternative, with roots going back to ancient times. Dr. Schaubelt has a gift for presenting in-depth facts and information in a way that is intriguing and easy to assimilate.

In the flood of "coffee table" aromatherapy books currently available, this is a much needed and welcome source for those truly interested in taking responsiblity for their own health."
