Title: Gattefosse's Aromatherapy: The first book on aromatherapy
163 pp. Here is the missing link in essential oil literature, the first modern work written by the man who coined the term 'Aromatherapy'.
In July 1910, Rene-Maurice Gattefosse discovered the healing properties of lavender oil after severely burning his hands in a laboratory explosion. This led him into a lifetime of research into essential oils. His remarkable book was first published in 1937 and had been out of print for many years. Now translated, it has been edited by Robert Tisserand, author of three books on aromatherapy. This book is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern knowledge and aromatherapists will find it an essential tool of reference. Extensive notes are provided by Robert Tisserand in the back of the book.
Chapters include those on human smells and animals, toxicity, the properties of essential oils and their constituents, the treatment of many diseases, and over fifty case studies from doctors.Fire Light, Forest Garden, Gentlemen Farmer, Lemon Verbena, Oat and Wheat Bran. This is but a sampling of the thirty wonderful recipes you'll find in The Soap Book. History, chemistry, equipment, plants, and oils—everything you need to know to create your own all-natural, handcrafted, herbal, aromatherapy, and floral soaps. Sandy shares invaluable tips, formulas, insights, and practical information gleaned from her wealth of experience. |
