More and more people are discovering the benefits of essential oils. However, while the oils are safe in the hands of trained therapists, many consumers could be asking for trouble if not forewarned about the oils' various properties.

o aroma and sources
o history and myths
o properties and precautions
o chemical constituents
o effects on the mind, body and skin
o use in blends
With an extensive glossary and blending chart, The Directory of Essential Oils is a ready reckoner that no aromatherapist should be without.
