Written by the women of NAHA under the direction of their President, Jeanne Rose, they write about their involvement with essential oils and herbs for the body, mind, and spirit. The voices in this collection are those of leading British and American women active in aromatherapy today. They write with verve about the growth of the distillery process and the essential oil industry, discuss such technical issues as whether synthetic or natural products are best, and describe how they use oils and blends in healing, skin care, and stress reduction. Whether as health consultants, product developers, manufacturers, educators, or aestheticians, these practitioners describe with wisdom and humor the wide range and vitality of aromatherapy - aromatic essential oil therapy.
