The Fragrant Mind - A Fascinating Perspective on Essential Oils and Aromatherapy

Valerie Ann Worwood's book The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy is one of my favorite books on essential oils and their use. I recently got to dig into a copy of The Fragrant Mind, though. I had gotten a copy from my friend Maggie at A Wild Soap Bar but never sat down with it. What a great exploration of essential oils! She takes the science of essential oils and applies it to "personality" and "emotion" - looking at our bodies, minds and emotions holistically - and celebrating how essential oils can affect them. Even if you're not directly into aromatherapy, it's a great book to understand how your scent blends can work together synergistically - and even if only from a marketing standpoint - certain essential oils can be combined to create wonderfully conceived soaps and candles.
