Praise for The Art of Aromatherapy
"Robert Tisserand is often called the father of modern aromatherapy, although the art of using essential oils from plants dates back some 5,000 years to the ancient Egyptians. Tisserand brought the practice into modern popularity with his 1977 book, The Art of Aromatherapy." - Delicious
"Standard reference work since it was published." - Vogue Product Details

Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!], Monday 07 November, 2005
Reviewer: Danny Siegenthaler from , Australia
This is a great book for both the beginner and practising Aromatherapist. His health of knowledge is clearly demonstrated in the discussion on essential oils - It's a must.
Tisserand is one of the foremost authorities on Aromatherapy and has published many books.
In our natural therapy college, we strongly recommend his books to all our medical aromatherapy students. It's on our Bookshelf and we use it regularly.
The lack of an in-depth index is a bit troublesome, however, after you've read the book you'll have less and less trouble finding what you want.
