Dalla quarta di copertina:

'Aromatherapy and the Mind' is an exploration into the real of fragrance. Throughout the history of civilisation, perfumes, incense, aromatic plants and oils have been used to enhance human experience, and today aromatherapy is attracting widespread interest.

We are all aware of our individual responses to fragrance, but the psychological and emotional effects of essential oils have been little explored. Can aromas be used therapeutically to bring about predictable results? Julia Lawless shows how oils can be used to:
· enhance your mood
· ease stress
· sharpen concentration
· soothe away cares
· restore and refresh the spirits

Primitive beliefs and traditions are re-examined in the light of the latest scientific research to provide a comprehensive picture of the development and role of fragrance... and its promise of healing for the human psyche.

Julia Lawless is a highly respected aromatherapist and the author of 'The Encyclopaedia of Essential Oils' and 'Home Aromatherapy'.

"This book is an aromatic treasure chest, for there is a wealth of information here... an impressive distillation of aromatic history and psychology."
