Aromatherapy
for Health Professionals
Authors: Shirley Price and Len Price
Publisher: Churchill/Livingstone
Copyright: 1999 (second edition)
ISBN: 0-443-06210-2
Aromatherapy for Health Professionals
is a 390-page that includes detailed AT information, case studies
and research. I feel like a kid in a candy store after receiving
this book. Few other books exist that actually provide research
and case studies.
It is important for me to note that I am not a
health professional nor have I read this book in its entirety. I,
however, doubt most will read it from front to cover as it acts
as a very comprehensive guide on many subjects; you will most likely
refer to it often, looking up the subjects of interest to you. If
you are an intermediate/advanced student of aromatherapy, an aromatherapist
or aromatherapy vendor, you will most likely consider this one of
your more appreciated aromatherapy books.
