In 1996, when this was first published, I wrote the following review: " I love this introduction to emotional/mental/spiritual healing via aromatherapy Mojay has presented a lovely, gentle guide to healing the psyche thru the use of Essential Oils. Introductory chapters are an review of Chinese Medical Concepts which are difficult for my pragmatic Western mind to grasp. However, his pages on each essential oil are much clearer, referring back to the oriental concepts, but also describing the effect of each oil in a terminology I found more comfortable. He gives a loving description of each EO, an overview of its history, current therapeutic uses, known safety data, and its impact on the mind and psyche. The last section of the book deals with Restoring Balance. He describes various forms of emotional/spiritual imbalance and gives suggested formulas for dealing with them. This is, in my opinion, the finest popular work on the market today dealing with the emotional effects of Aromatherapy. mgc 1996."
Today I find his underlying theoretical framework, the TCM more comfortable. Other than that, my comments still stand. This is one of the books on my shelf I keep coming back to. There still is no better book on emotional and spiritual healing.
