Please feel free to post your favourite books and give a brief sypnosis. I will tidy up as I go along and edit to provide a quick glance for people.
I'll start:
Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit: A Guide to Restoring Emotional and Mental Balance Through Essential Oils
Gabriel Mojay £14.50
* Paperback 192 pages (February 1, 2000)
* Publisher: Inner Traditions International
* ISBN: 0892818875
I've just noticed that '...In Essence' have an Aromatherapy book as well:
'Aromatherapy in Essence' - as I really loved their Ear Candeling book - I hope this one would be as good to.
Otherwise, as a practical male, I do really like the thick and very scientific:
'Aromatherapy for Health Professionals' by Price - hope this is suitable for you to, <a class="go2wpf-bbcode" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="naturalhon">naturalhon
I found Complete Essentials Oils by Julia Lawless in a charity shop the other day, there's a couple of pages on aldehydes, ketones etc. Quite simple for me to understand, I hated chemistry, there is another book but I can't remember the ladies name who wrote it, will keep looking.
There is one by Sue Clarke, but she wasn't the lady I was thinking of.
Found it !!!
[url]Aroma Science: The Chemistry and Bioactivity of Essential Oils[/url] by Maria Lis-Balchin
I treated myself to that book I mentioned, this weekend:
Aromatherapy in Essence by Nicola Jenkins (Hodder Arnold publications)
Haven't put it down since I got it!
Don't let its thin and concise appearance fool you, as it is really very comprehensive and detailed with a lot of great and insightful tips.
Good for a total novice - and yes, it is jam packed with loads of blends for oils, creams, shampoos and inhalations etc as well as being very useful guide for a qualified practitioner!
Enjoy!
Nice review you made here about the book. I have a copy, too. It's really a good read. I bought it while in the store looking for information on [url]massage therapy in Ontario[/url] as I'm leaving for the said province come April.
Aromatherapy for Health Professionals - Price and Price - Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2007. They use plenty of clinical research to support their claims.
All in all, a great book for the more scientifically inclined.
If, like me, you like to combine Shiatsu and the Five Elements with Aromatherapy - I have just discovered this great book:
Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit, by Gabriel MojayGaia books, 2000
The robbert Tisserand books are very good
I really love the Patricia Davis A-Z Aromatherapy book it's definitely one of my favourites, and have also just bought her book Subtle Aromatherapy, which I've only just started but am loving already.

Aromatherapy course at college
Wow..., I can't believe all the fantastic aromatherapy books you've all recommended, I'm starting my Level 3 Aromatherapy this week, and really don't know where to start with books, will look in the college library and see what my tutor recommends also, it's fab to have such a wealth of knowledge on a forum like this...,, watch this space I gotta feeling many questions will be coming in the months ahead, may be picking all your brains at some point or another, I hope you don't mind x 🙂
Based on Valerie Ann Worwood's work:
“Jerry has researched the oils as a method to treat the whole person. By treating the constitution, the individual becomes stronger physically, spiritually and emotionally and is able to move towards healing of multiple symptoms. I use the oils for various acute concerns as I find solutions for constitutional concerns. I use his quiz in my classes and my private practice.” Yvette Chass, OT
Valerie Ann Worwood described "oil personalities" that can be understood as constitutional dispositions. Holistic approaches to health care focus on the unique qualities of the individual rather than seeking diagnosis and treatment of pathological conditions understood according to common symptoms. [url]Essential oils can also reveal our constitutional dispositions and enable us to address their needs. Find your constitutional oils.[/url]
