Written for both lay
readers and practitioners, Awaken
to Healing
Fragrance is divided into
three
parts structured around the past,
present, and future of aromatherapy. The book begins with profiles
of prominent female historical figures—from Cleopatra to Elizabeth
I—known to have used essential oils for mind, body, and
spiritual health. Part two explains the value of aromatherapy today:
modern methods for using essential oils—from relaxation
practices like massage and facials to treating common conditions like PMS,
stress, and a sore throat—and describes how and why they work.
Also featured are case studies, research on anti-infectious
qualities of the oils, and a section on psychoneuroimmunology that shows how
essential oils can help restore
the
mind-body-spirit
connection and create balance.
Awaken to
Healing
Fragrance concludes by
exploring
the future of essential oil
therapy and how it can be integrated into traditional medical systems. Jones
discusses energetic medicine, creating aromatic gardens, and
establishing integrative medicine clinics where doctors
trained in Western medicine would collaborate with alternative
therapists such as acupuncturists, nutritionists, and aromatherapists to
bring a new consciousness and sense of well-being to
healthcare. ISBN 9781556438752
