Written with clarity and authority, this exploration of the distinctive French approach to aromatherapy will broaden the horizons for all essential oil practitioners. Although rooted in pharmacology, vitalistic aspects are also woven into the therapeutic philosophy. Precise guidelines for all methods of essential oil delivery are presented, and numerous tried and tested formulations are offered. This book will fascinate and inspire, and will undoubtedly and deservedly become the definitive guide to the practice of clinical and medical aromatherapy.

To have a book by Dominique Baudoux available in English is beyond exciting! As US educators who are passionate about redefining the practice of "Aromatherapy" for a new generation of aromatherapists, hungry for a balanced, progessive and relevant approach - having Mr. Baudoux's galvanizing material easily accessible will be a game changer.
Lydia Bosson, International Teacher of Aromatherapy, Ayurveda and Self-Development, author of Hydrosol Therapy
An excellent guide for aromatherapists and health professionals. The book is affordable for anyone interested in aromatherapy and for experts in the field, and offers in-depth scientific information. It is time to clarify and distinguish the different forms of applications, to be able to use essential oils effectively and safely and to abolish restrictive beliefs about pure application or internal intake due to a lack of scientific knowledge. Dominique's book will bring more certainty and know-how in Aromatherapy, combining biochemical and pharmaceutical data with empirical and traditional knowledge.
