the therapeutic use of pure essential oils
"Essential oils are highly complex chemically, and this very complexity makes them both versatile and safe, since the many constituents act together and balance each other's effects. Newcomers to aromatherapy are often surprised, and sometimes skeptical about the many therapeutic properties which may be attributed to a single oil, but this diversity of properties and actions reflects the complicated chemistry of the oil."
