[.ca] 375 Essential Oils (ISBN 1883319897)

new book by well-known author:
This is a major guide to most (all) the known essential oils and at least 50 of their hydrosols.Jeanne Rose is at it again-profiling, illuminating and conversing intimately on her favorite field of herbs and aromatherapy. I missed her personal revelations and fragrant and funny discussions of the plants that are her friends and health keepers,but I truly enjoyed the many essays that are included. She discusses the botany, family, growth habits, therapeutic uses, chemical components and actions of these volatile oils., The hydrosols are described as 21st century aromatherapy-the homeopathy of aromatherapy..."a true synergy of herbalism and aromatherapy. This is another well-written book by this prolific writer who actually uses this gentle healing art. I can't wait to see the reissue of her well-documented The Herbal Body Book...

Excellent Resource Book:
This is an excellent resource for the person who is serious about essential oils. If you take Jeanne Rose's home study course, this book is required reading. Every oil is discussed in detail. The section on hydrasols is interesting.

The World of Aromatherapy:
Jeannie Rose's 375 Essential Oils and Hydrosols is one of the best new books on aromatherpay along with the World of Aromatherapy by the women of NAHA. They have put together a great collection of educational information. One of the best she has yet! I love all of Jeannie Roses books and her new Herbal body book is greatly more detailed and informative also. Love her and everything she writes. I am available for online discussion. I am an aromaherbalist in the Chicago area. BViolet11@aol.com

This book is so full of great information! I was able to pick out some hydrosols and EO's using this book. Lots of info on each EO...However..It needs more info on HOW to make own hydrosols;o) Otherwise its perfect IMO.. K
