• aroma and sources

• history and myth

• chemical constituents

• precautions in use

• effects on mind, body and skin

• other oils that each blends well with

Also listed is the taxonomical name of each plant along with the part used and method of oil extraction.

With an extensive glossary and blending chart, The Directory of Essential Oils is a comprehensive reference as well as a ready reckoner that no aromatherapist should be without.

'The research put into the production of this book is mind-boggling, making it the most comprehensive collection of facts relating to essential oils ever offered with aromatherapists in mind ... and contains much information that is not readily available from other sources. A real "must" for every aromatherapist's bookshelf.'
