Book Recommendation

[Lindy]

I've been reading The Art, Science & Business of Aromatherapy by Kayla Fioravanti and this is an excellent book. It will help you understand the science of essential oils, how they work and why without a bunch of hocus pocus attached. I do believe in the spiritual aspect of aromatherapy but I'm a nuts and bolts type of person and I want to know how it works.

Thanks so much for the recommendation. I'm going to have to check if our library has it. I like to know the science behind things as well

Genny another good one is Aromatherapy for the Health Professional. This gives you some wonderful science on the actual essential oils. It is a must have in my opinion as a good reference book. It explained some things which were puzzling me on the scientific end of things.

Cheers

My favorite is THE ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ESSENTIAL OILS by Julia Lawless
