Some people find it hard to believe that a mere fragrance can have healing effects, but Nicola Jenkins gives you a scientific understanding of exactly how it works. Besides describing aromatherapy techniques such as creating an aromatherapy blend and how to carry out an aromatherapy massage, Nicola looks at how aromatherapy is practised in relation to each one of the body’s systems, including the face and skin; heart and circulation; digestive system; mind and nervous system; muscles; respiratory system; immune system; endocrine system and reproductive system. She also explores how aromatherapy can help with detoxification, and shows how aromatherapy connects with other areas such as astrology and ayurveda. Illustrated with lots of anatomical diagrams and colour photographs, this book is ideal for aromatherapy students, practising therapists and anyone wanting to explore aromatherapy in more detail.
