The Practice of Aromatherapy (Valnet)

Description

Though last copyrighted in 1990, this is a Wisdom of the Earth favorite for treatment protocols, reference tools, and essential oil profiles.  The author, Jean Valnet, was a French physician who used essential oils in WWII to assist the wounded soldiers when medicines were in short supply or no longer available.  He addresses both old and recent medical issues, which can be helpful when something like Anthrax was suddenly in the news due to a the highly publicized Anthrax attacks following 9/11.  At that time, this reference book was the ONLY one in our personal, extensive aromatherapy library that even included anthrax in the medical glossary.  Practical, comprehensive and understandable, even by those new to aromatherapy.
