another question on the book 'The fragrant pharmacy' by Valerie Ann Worwood

[Guest guest]

Thank you Martin and everyone, this book is apparently published 2 decades

ago, I will read it with care.

 

Another question (sorry I have lots of questions as a newbie): The book 'The

fragrant pharmacy' by Valerie Ann Worwood in year 1990 and the book 'The

Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy: Over 600 Natural,

Non-Toxic and Fragrant Recipes to Create Health - Beauty - a Safe Home

Environment' by the same author in year 1991, are they the same book? From

index, the organization of the books looks very similar. It seems 'The

fragrant pharmacy' only released in UK since I could only find imported

book. I only have 'The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy', do

I need to get 'The fragrant pharmacy' as well?

 

Also please let me know if you have other good reference book for

Aromatherapy, I am at the stage of learning, reading, and reading.

 

Thanks in advance,

Bing

I don't know the answer on this book. I do know that it is not uncommon for

books to bear slightly different titles when the reproduction rights are sold

overseas. Many publishers sell repro. rights to publishers in other countries

and once that has happened, the authors get very little say in what occurs with

their work.

 

As to a recommended reading list, see that on my aromamedical.org site under

book reviews. Beware of buying too many of this trades extensive collection of

novels, penned by authors who knew very little about the subjects they wrote

on:)

I, as a fellow newbie to more in-depth studies, echo Martin's caution of what is

readily published. You can search the archived messages for specific titles and

authors and see what may have been previously discussed about them. There is

quite a bit of twaddle and fluff-n-stuff out there.

 

I will be forever grateful to Ms. Worwood. My family got involved in

aromatherapy in the early 90s due to her books. However, I am striving to be as

evidence-based as I can given what's available to me and I'm finding that a

great deal requires a grain of salt (or an entire salt lick *lol*).

 

Happy Studies to you!

Thanks Martin and Jessica, wow, the review from the website

aromamedical.org made me drop my jaw. As a newbie, you tend to read

every book like reading bible...you know, these are the masters. I

guess I will take all books with " a grain of salt " then. Good to know!

 

Happy study!

Martin, I'm curious. You don't review nor recommend Maria Lis-Balchin's

Aromatherapy Science . . . reason? Perhaps because you consider it more

technical? I use this book all the time and find it very useful.

Reason is twofold, firstly I don't have a copy, secondly time is a big factor

with these reviews. That is why there are many others I could do, but it takes

days to go through a book carefully and I have other things to do. I have

several good articles by other people that I want to put on my site, but they

are all very busy and getting them to complete the things is like getting blood

out of a stone. You listening Butch
