Features: Aromatherapy is both an art and an exact science of treatment, focusing on a holistic understanding of the user (body, mind, and spirit) to form formulas and corresponding usage methods. Therefore, those working in aromatherapy should, in addition to recognizing essential oils, enhance their understanding of other disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, psychological counseling, nutrition, massage techniques, etc. The Complete Book of Essential Oils is written for enthusiasts of essential oils or professionals studying aromatherapy. Its content not only includes the historical anecdotes, therapeutic symptoms, and the nature of aromatic herbs but also provides many recommended formulas. From clinical observations, we know that "positive diseases should be treated with negative methods and vice versa." For example, a cold is considered a positive disease, so using eucalyptus steam inhalation is more effective. If the cold exhibits characteristics of a negative disease, then rosewood should be chosen instead.
