Any person who ventures into the world of aromatherapy should be given a symbolic key, as this experience opens a door to a New World - a world we did not realize existed. Lemon is no longer seen as a garnish, but a strong anti-septic which treats infection. Garlic is no longer a herb which flavors food, but the realization that it is nature’s antibiotic quickly sets in. Black pepper is not merely a delight for steak lovers, but a powerful circulatory stimulant, and clove an analgesic rather than a decoration on an orange. Ginger for nausea and lemongrass for stretch marks. The list is endless.
Aromatherapy enables the therapist to see, feel, smell and experience nature in its most concentrated and perfect form. With a sound knowledge of the oils and their chemical constituents, a therapist has the ability to mix and blend ‘lotions and potions’ far more powerful than many realize. For this reason, knowledge and care must be exercised when dealing with the essential oils.
Aromatherapy for Natural Health and Beauty teaches students and therapists what aromatherapy is, the chemical constituents contained in essential oils, the therapeutic properties of carrier oils and how to formulate these to suit conditions ranging from clinical imbalances to fragrance and beauty. The art of massage as taught in the Adult, Pregnancy, Labor, Baby and Child massage sections enables therapists to attend to any client who needs professional aromatherapy treatments, regardless of age.
In the Fragrance and Beauty section, therapists learn how to make products, which include perfumes, bath oils, face and hand creams as well as exfoliators. Oils for cellulite, stretchmarks, scars, wrinkles, blemishes, eczema, athlete’s foot and many other conditions are formulated. The book is informative as well as educational.
