As a Health Education Specialist it is my job to work with clients in finding ways to improve their health. It is also my job to provide the most acurate health information. I make a point to check and double check any informational source that I might use as reference in considering possible avenues.
I have found this book to be extremely helpful in making such decisions pertaining to aromatherapy. It is full of actual case studies, physicians reference notes, reasonable scientific methodology, and sound references. This is one of the only books that I know of that successfully convinced me of the possible use of aromatherapy with more traditional allopathic methods.
If you should choose to pursue aromatherapy as a means to improving your ailments, I do stress that you address your concerns and your plans with your physician to ensure not only the best possible outcome but, your safety as well.

I had read several books on essential oils and aromatherapy. Some were filled with anti-Western medicine rhetoric, others were focused on cosmetics, while others contained good anecdotes with recipes interspersed. I use these, but was looking for something else, which I couldn’t really articulate.
I haven’t finished reading this, but it is exactly what I was looking for. It combines practical application with reasonable science while focusing on healing.
The book is written in the context of the UK medical system, which doesn’t match the US system very well, but it isn’t hard to generalize the concepts to a different venue.
In the back are several appendices listing the recommendations and summarizing the findings.
Definitely worth the time and money.
