Description
Being Safe with Essential Oils is a much needed reference for aromatherapists and consumers alike looking for natural methods of supporting health and wellness. It is packed with common sense information on how to use powerful essential oils properly and safely. The history of using essential oils for mind, body, and spirit goes back probably 10,000 years but in recent years we have become alarmed at the lies and myths that have been promoted about these natural “medicines” or the earth. We have been taught that they are dangerous in the hands of ordinary people and should always be diluted or prescribed by medical physicians as they are in France. Or, that they be heavily diluted for massaging the whole body as is taught in English approaches. Linda Smith gives a balanced view of the truths, lies, and myths we should all know regarding essential oils.
