Aromatherapists reading this book will benefit from specialist knowledge on lesser-known and unusual oils, creating a more innovative and expansive practice. Also suitable for student aromatherapists and aromatherapy enthusiasts.
This pioneering guide explains how aromatherapy can be a powerful ally for those struggling with trauma or loss. Tailored for professionals looking to support their clients, it recentres the role olfaction plays in our lives, and explores the nuanced ways in which aroma can interact with our limbic system and promote psychological healing.
