Jeanne Rose, affectionatley known as the Grand Dame of aromatherapy to those in the field, has compiled over the years a wealth of practical and well-researched information about aromatherapy. With her charming humor she weaves almost anything you would want to know about the use of herbs, fruits, and other foods in cosmetic concoctions. She has included recipes, her own and others, from skin care to beauty treatments. An excellent book for beginners or professionals. I use this book so often as a great reference source that I wore mine out. It has wonderful cross-referencing for the essential oils, recipes, history, uses etc. This is the first book I would recommend to someone who wants to get started in this field. I can't imagine a better resource. It was because of this book that I started my avid interest in kitchen-table cosmetics which led me to take advanced courses with Ms. Rose and gaining my aromatherapy certification. The book is delightful because of her amiable style of writing. I have every book that Ms. Rose has ever written, and this is one of the very best. This is still - after more than forty years - a classic in this field. INSCRIBED (impersonallly) AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
