therapeutic philosophy. Precise guidelines for all methods of
essential oil delivery are presented, and numerous tried and tested
formulations are offered. This book will fascinate and inspire, and
will undoubtedly and deservedly become the definitive guide to the
practice of clinical and medical aromatherapy.

To have a book by Dominique Baudoux available in English is beyond
exciting! As US educators who are passionate about redefining the
practice of "Aromatherapy" for a new generation of aromatherapists,
hungry for a balanced, progessive and relevant approach - having
Mr. Baudoux's galvanizing material easily accessible will be a game
changer.
*Amy Galper, Co-Founder of the New York Institute of Aromatic
Studies.*
An excellent guide for aromatherapists and health professionals.
The book is affordable for anyone interested in aromatherapy and
for experts in the field, and offers in-depth scientific
information.
It is time to clarify and distinguish the different forms of
applications, to be able to use essential oils effectively and
safely and to abolish restrictive beliefs about pure application or
internal intake due to a lack of scientific knowledge. Dominique's
book will bring more certainty and know-how in Aromatherapy,
combining biochemical and pharmaceutical data with empirical and
traditional knowledge.
