The world needs more Aromatherapists! Here is a list of 36 of the best Aromatherapy Books I recommend for anyone who is passionate about learning more about essential oils and aromatherapy.
I know of no other alternative and complementary care modality better than Aromatherapy that can improve our health and wellbeing in an instant.? Just by smelling essential oils we can completely shift our mindset and reduce our anxiety?
There is a need for more educated users of essential oils and we need to be armed with reliable and accurate knowledge so that we can share trusted information with as many people as possible.
If you are like me, I am driven to help other people stay healthier – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Let’s give them the tools and the skills to take back the control over their own health and wellbeing.?
