This book by Gary Young, N.D. provides extensive information on how to use essential oils for better health. Written for health professionals and the general public alike, it is a cutting-edge reference source for the therapeutic uses of pure essential oils.

It provides scores of references to scientific research supporting the use of essential oils in medical applications. Its chapter on blends includes 25 recipes for mixing your own. It also includes: • An extensive "A to Z" of diseases and treatment protocols using essential oils • Information and never-before-seen photographs from Gary’s worldwide studies • Detailed instructions for the amount of oil and frequency of use, integrated into 18 different application methods. • Instructions on Raindrop Technique^® • A glossary of medical actions • Biochemical charts and distillation charts.

Essential Oils can be very effective in helping to release emotional patterns - and this book shows you how. Studies at New York University have proven that the amygdala (the part of the brain which stores emotional trauma) does not respond to sound or sight or touch. It will only release emotional trauma through aromatic stimuli - through the sense of smell. In this book you will discover an "A to Z" of over 270 emotional issues (everything from Abandonment and Co-dependency, to Despair, Humiliation and Fear of Love). Each emotional issue is cross-referenced to the essential oil that can assist with transforming that emotion, and the acupressure "alarm point" on the body where the oil should be applied (diagrams clearly demonstrate how to find these points). This is empowered further by a chapter on muscle testing (kinesiology), which teaches you how to "speak" to your own body, confirming what it needs.

Discover the metaphysical and energetic healing properties of 40 single essential oils and how they can be used to manipulate qi, the body’s vital energy, to stimulate healing from negative emotional and mental states. Some forms of nervous tension, for example, are caused by stagnant qi energy, which can be released with essential oils. This book provides help for a wide range of common emotional and mental complaints including depression, low energy, lack of concentration, poor memory, anxiety, and low self-esteem. It also gives fantastic detail on the spiritual effects of each essential oil. Easy-to-reference charts and full-color illustrations teach simple aromatherapy massage and acupressure techniques that restore balance to the body and psyche.
