Groot handboek aromatherapie

In this handbook, Geert Verhelst proposes extensive guidance on aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, a complementary therapy in which essential oils are used, is gaining popularity. Not only because of the pleasant scents with which she can pamper us, but also because of her potential to relieve many physical, mental and emotional complaints.

But because essential oils are highly concentrated and complex plant extracts, they should definitely be used safely and with knowledge. The ' LARGE HANDBOOK AROMATHERAPY ' by Greetje Van den Eede and Dr. Geert Verhelst is a useful and very comprehensive guideline:

• with hundreds of scientifically based and practice-oriented recipes for the most common complaints and disorders: simple recipes, with one or a few essential oils, and more extensive, with sophisticated synergies for professional use
• all possible applications are covered: nebulization, inhalation, skin application, massage, bathing, oral intake…
• with 80 extensive and 40 smaller monographs , presenting the most commonly used essential oils
• with a chapter on the chemical background to support the effect of essential oils
• with the quality requirements that essential oils must meet
• with a 'Do it yourself' chapter for those who want to process essential oils in their care products themselves and with tips for a first aid kit, a home and travel pharmacy
• richly illustrated

In short, the ' GREAT HANDBOOK OF AROMATHERAPY ' belongs in the practice of every complementary health professional, as well as in the living room of every family that wants to integrate care with essential oils into daily life.
