The Aromatherapy Companion A Portable Guide

From two of the leading voices in aromatherapy, Amy Galper and Jade Shutes, The Aromatherapy Companion is a concise and essential version of their popular Ultimate Guide to Aromatherapy.

Essentials oils have been used across all world cultures for thousands of years. While the popularity of aromatherapy has endured, the methods and applications of the craft have evolved. The Aromatherapy Companion is the modern practitioner’s guide to working with the most essential aromatherapy and essential oils for healing and wellness.

Using techniques developed over decades of teaching, you will learn the science of aromatherapy and how essentials oils interact with our sense of smell, brain pathways, and skin. The guide also includes over 35 plant profiles, plus recipes and blends for health and beauty. Included are remedies for digestive health, immunity, women’s health concerns, and more, such as Hand & Body Wash for Flu Recovery, Self-Love Botanical Perfume, and Tummy Massage Oil for Indigestion.

Drawing on the authors’ unique methodology and expertise as aromatherapists, herbalists, and healers, you will learn the art of blending formulations with great skill and discernment.
