Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Hi y'all, In another post .. in response to Sandi's inquiry on Sage, Chris made mention of the above referenced publication .. she wrote: > Also, there is a listing for it in Syllah's AT Practitioner Reference > Manual ... A must have book! And I agree with her. I have made my position (and Sylla's too .. I think) clear on the fact that it is NOT perfect .. but again I say that it is the most complete compilation of data on use of essential oils available in the aromatherapy/essential oils world today .. its a fine reference publication and I believe that it and Plant Aromatics are the two everyone who is serious about AT/EO should have beside their desk. The two basic reference sets I sell .. that is, keeping them in stock myself .. are one " Plant Aromatics " and the other is: Sylla Shepherd-Hanger's " Aromatherapy Practitioner Reference Manual " in two volumes. This is for the novice and the expert as it tells you most of what you need to know about each essential oil property ... each one is broken out into headings like these twelve - in columns: Botanical/Common Name - Plant Part - Family - Origin - Distill Method Specific Biochemicals Traditional & Esoteric Uses Integumentary, Skin/Hair and Nails Respiratory Muscular & Skeletal Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Immune Digestive Endocrine Genito-Urinary and Reproductive Nervous/Brain/Mind Safety Data It's a VERY handy reference set and I use mine daily - keep them beside my desk. It's not cheap but if one considers the information in it and compares that information to a stack of the unreferenced novels out and about - we will find it far less costly and far more valuable. You can review and/or order it at http://www.AV-AT.com/manual01.html Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
