FOREWORD

The use of essential oils has literally been around for centuries. Not only do people derive a myriad of health benefits from these essential oils, but also a great deal of pleasure. The use of essential oils - or as it is known today, aromatherapy - is appealing because of their user-friendly nature, versatility and most significantly, their sensual properties.

Aromatherapy is a non-invasive way to take control of your health. Used in addition to other practices such as traditional Western medicine, yoga, meditation, diet, exercise or holistic medicine, aromatherapy can strengthen your overall health, well-being and vitality. Because of its growing acceptance with Americans, essential oils are now available almost anywhere you look. This is both good and bad news: good, because it's now easier for you to incorporate aromatherapy into your life and bad because, for the most part, these essential oils don't come with instructions.

In this book, we will help demystify aromatherapy by explaining its history and usage. We will also cover the basic essential oils, including their properties and therapeutic values. We'll also point out how to pick out a quality essential oil, and help you pick out a starter kit. You'll also learn about combining oils for synergistic blends, and the different ways aromatherapy can be incorporated into your life.

We firmly believe in the power of aromatherapy to strengthen us both physically and mentally. We've experienced this power for ourselves, and want to introduce it to you in an easy-to-understand way. After reading this book, we're positive you'll find yourself excited about the positive changes you can make in your life through aromatherapy.

With a little bit of guidance, you'll be able to safely and confidently integrate essential oils into your every day life. As we like to say, it will be a scentsational new lifestyle you'll embrace and enjoy. We can't wait for you to get started! - Pamela Pierson and Mary Shipley
