“One of the best books on the market concerning aromatherapy, it is a book that I would recommend to be read by anyone in the healing profession regardless of discipline.”
— Aromatherapy World

Fragrances, with their intriguing ability to evoke emotions, memories, and visions, have played an important role in the world’s spiritual traditions since the dawn of time. Drawn from the essential oils of plants, they serve as an earthly connection with the divine.

In Aromatherapy for the Soul: Healing the Spirit with Fragrance & Essential Oils (New World Library, November 2006), world-renowned aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood breaks new ground with an in-depth study of the use of fragrance in relation to our souls.

Drawing on the pioneering research of eminent scientists and the insights of leading spiritual teachers, Worwood provides exhaustive guidelines detailing how fragrance is used in many spiritual practices, from Shinto and Buddhism to Native American rites. She reports on written records of odors being associated with the appearance of ghosts, angels, and saints and provides extensive charts, exercises, and formulas that demonstrate how aroma is used in healing, prayer, and meditation. Aromatherapy for the Soul provides step-by-step guidance for those wanting to use essential oils for their own healing. Worwood helps readers distinguish between a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual crisis, and presents a detailed explanation for how to use essential oils homeopathically. As she writes, “Each person is unique and is touched by each essential oil in a different way. Just as we meet people with whom we are in harmony and who enliven our soul, so too we can discover in the superabundance of essential oils those that release our spiritual potential.”

With detailed explanations of more than seventy essential oils, this extraordinary guide helps readers call upon the divine power of fragrance to enrich their own spiritual journey.
