Clinical Aromatherapy

Book was in the condition it was described, excellent experience

This book was on my wishlist for sometime. It’s got great information but unfortunately arrived with water damage.Seller description inaccurate

Great book. Provides a great clinical application. It provides a list of medical studies, an extensive reading list, and basic properties of essential oils, so that one can understand the components of essential oils, including diagrams of the molecular structures, etc. In Chapter 15, i.e., more than ten different mental health disorders are studied, backed with research, scientific studies, double-blind studies, etc. Even Bipolor Disorder.Not only does this include all relevant studies but in Chapter 10, Pain and Inflammation, not only are essential oils used in treatment of pain, but the authors also address varied pain components, such as the physiology of pain, the etiology of pain, approaches to pain, varied narcotic and opioid drugs, NSAIDs, Steroid drugs, etc. There is a whole chapter called Essential Oil Toxicity and Contraindications. And this is not the kind of information I have found in many books on Essential Oils. There is enough information in this book for the skilled therapist to really understand all they need to to prepare for a career in this industry.

Through and through great book about essential oils

So happy to get this, already using it in clinic practice! Very practical and wonderful to have evidence base to back up my already deep appreciation for essential oils. I have used aromatherapy in childbirth education for many years, and certainly have used it with my family. Now in clinic practice Thank you Dr Buckle! Virginia Smith, DNP, FNP-C

There is no doubt that this is an excellent book with clinically proven and back up by referenced prior study. But I find that there are some part that were ended without further explanation and lack of depth. The author list a lot of reference, which may be useful for the students seeking qualification in aromatherapy but not for a lay person. It would be great also to give a discount code if we were to buy the DVD from the author's page, given that the book is not cheap even for kindle version.

I am so glad I ordered this book. It will be a great reference book for any aromatherapy student or practitioner.I personally prefer books that have a clinical approach. It will provide you with many ailments and research backeddocumentation for using essential oils to help with their symptoms. The book is very well formatted and is a wealth of information pertinent to anyone either studying to become an aromatherapist or practicing.

Another book I am glad I bought. It has lots of information crammed into it. The paper is lovely and glossy and the information contained inside is thorough. I like how detailed it is referenced and that it is all peer reviewed meaning you can be confident of the information contained therein. It is reassuring for a student of Aromatherapy to be able to back up the practice with scientific facts and information validating the therapy. Excellent book.

The book has opened my students eyes about Aromatherapy and the chemistry behind essential oils. Excellent book and amazing resource.

Great book for academic readers of essential oils. Highly recommend!

A brilliant book that is very informative and interesting. Anybody interested in using essential oils seriously and not just for their aroma. I am still in the process of reading this book but so far I have found it enlightening and have learnt more about essential oils.
