Valerie Ann Worwood's The Fragrant Pharmacy has become the classic encyclopaedia of aromatherapy and essential oils. Now,in this companion volume,The Fragrant Mind,she paves a unique new way for aromatherapy,concentrating on the emotional,psychological and mood-changing effects of nature's essential oils. The Fragrant Mind falls into three parts. Part One presents a fascinating background to the subject,and explains how essential oils work on the brain. Part Two explains how essential oils can enhance emotional well-being and promote positive feelings,and includes a practical A-Z section which advises on a wide range of emotional problems,from stress and depression to moodiness and insomnia. Part Three introduces a whole new concept in aromatherapy - personality enhancement - and explains the particular characteristics of individual essential oils and how they can be matched to human personality types. You can find out,for example,whether you are a Floral,Herbie,Rootie,Woodie,Fruitie or Seedie type,and create your own tailor-made personality blends. Encyclopaedic in scope,and based on the most up-to-date research,The Fragrant Mind offers a wealth of information in an easy,accessible style,and shows the way in which essential oils can influence our minds and emotions.
