This volume demonstrates how to soothe, relax and beautify face and body with essential oils. The first half of the book, a photographic catalogue, profiles the author's own selection of essential oils, from peppermint to ylang-ylang, with complete notes on their sources and scents, properties and uses in massage. Photographs illustrate the part of the plant from which the oil is derived, its therapeutic properties, and a key massage use. In part two, step-by-step photographs and the author's favourite recipes show how you can relieve common ailments and enhance physical and emotional well-being.
