Practical Aromatherapy for Self-Care offers simple, effective solutions designed for adults for common, and first aid situations, such as headaches, muscle aches, insect bites, colds, and stress, using the principles of aromatherapy and natural plant extracts known as essential oils.

There are new appendixes: Lifestyle Support for the Immune System, Breathing and Meditation Exercises for Stress Relief, Seasonal Aromatherapy, Essential Oils for Morning and Evening, Essential Oils for First Aid, and Aromatherapy for Sensuality and Romance.

Author's Note:
After writing 3 books about subtle aromatherapy (aka spiritual aromatherapy), I wanted to write a book about the practical, day-to-day applications of essential oils. Every system of the body is covered and the solutions and recipes are simple, appropriate, safe, and effective. I like to think of the information as the aromatherapy solution for issues you might go to a drug store to get an OTC (over the counter) product to help.
