The Fragrant Mind

by Valerie Ann Worwood

This 431-page volume delves into the psychological and emotional use of aromatherapy and essential oils. It covers both general psychological and aromatherapy information as well as listing emotional conditions (i.e. nicotine addition, phobias, stress, etc.) and the oils that can assist with the condition. It also discusses various personality profiles and the oils most suitable for those personality types. This text is written in an easy-to-understand style, and previous knowledge of psychology is not required. Certain chapters are intended to be read thoroughly while other chapters act more as a reference.
