Working with Unusual Essential Oils

As the aromatherapy market expands exponentially, newer and lesser-known essential oils are often missed from traditional aromatherapy texts. This unique and updated toolkit profiles 40 emerging oils from around the globe with each profile detailing the background, strengths, chemistry, cautions and safety, sustainability, and personality of the essential oil. Each profile, including Moldavian dragonhead, petitgrain lemon, and damiana, also includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual uses of each essential oil as well as other oils with which it can be safely blended.
Written by an experienced researcher and aromatherapist, this distinctive and comprehensive guide includes case studies and over 80 recipes, as well as the most up-to-date information on the latest recognised essential oils such as mango myrtle and pineapple myrtle.
Aromatherapists reading this book will benefit from specialist knowledge on lesser-known and unusual oils, creating a more innovative and expansive practice.
