The encyclopedia of aromatherapy by Christine Wildwood

The Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy
 offers the most elegantly comprehensive package on the whole art and science of aromatherapy written to date. It deservedly takes its place among the small handful of indispensable reference books on this fascinating therapy."
