I have been an aromatherapist for several years and am learning more everyday. Worwood is one of my favorite authors and her books are well organized easy to learn from and the receipts are easy to follow. I plan to add all of her books to my library. I just wish she would come to the US to teach! When I am working with clients in my store Valeries books are the first ones I reach for as reference material.
The results of working with aromatherapy still amaze me and would love to talk with anyone who has questions or needs help finding something pertaining to aromatherapy.
I have bought a few other books on Aromatherapy, over the years, which have given me an introduction into Aromatherapy. None of them compare to the books by Valerie Ann Worwood! I just bought her books “The Fragrant Mind” and “The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy”, and they are wonderfully informative as well as a pleasure to read. I highly recommend both of these books for anyone who is interested in learning all that they can about Aromatherapy.
Focusing on “The Fragrant Mind”, it is an amazing book! There is so much wonderful information, great recipes for various blends, a fun and enlightening look at the the different invdividual personality types and the different essential oils personality profiles, not to mention wonderful Quick Reference Charts.
This book does so much more than tell about a couple of uses for a few basic essential oils, it shows how essential oils can truly effect our emotional state. It also helps explain why we are drawn more to certain scents, and how our personality plays a big role in this. This book is definitely a must have!

more subjective than informational

A deeper look at aromatherapy
This book gives a deeper understading of aromatherapy. Essential oils are much more than something you use for a certain symptom, and Valerie Ann Worwood gets that message through…

Not your usual aromatherapy book
I have not had the good fortune to see a copy of Worwood’s other books The Complete Guide to Essential Oils, which I understand is a bible of sorts, and Aromantics, whose title…

Wonderful indepth study of how essential oils work.
Equally as good as “The Complete Book of E.O.”, Valeria Worwood has written extensively on the workings of the mind and how essential oils work on effecting emotional…
