Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation: Relax Rejuvenate Replenish, belongs to a compilation of books which explore the dynamic role essential oils play in supporting health and wellbeing and provide a comprehensive overview of essential oils; from the role they play entrenched within the history of medicine, their botanical derivation within plants, to their dynamic holistic role as hedonistic, healing and wellness remedies and ingredients. Although aimed at the curious ‘everyday’ user who wishes to learn more, these books also provide a sound, valuable, foundation on which to develop further deeper study, and also provide a very useful point of reference. Essential Oils for the Whole Body is the next book in the series and will be published 5th November 2019 by Inner Traditions (USA).
