by Peter Damian, Kate Damian

Al ser el único sentido que se extiende hasta el cerebro, el olfato es un componente primordial del estado de ánimo, la memoria y el apetito, y la clave para comprender la compatibilidad sexual y el instinto de protección maternal de un recién nacido. Pero, ¿qué armas en particular son eficaces en el tratamiento terapéutico o en los rituales? ¿Qué relación existe entre las esencias de las plantas y el aura humana?

Junto a una amplia exposición de la historia de la aromaterapia de la antigua China, la India, Persia y Egipto, y a los conocimientos científicos actuales de la psicología del aroma, Aromaterapia: El olor y la psique es la guía perfecta para dominar el uso de los aceites esenciales. Se incluyen esquemas explicativos acerca de los cuarenta y cuarto aceites esenciales, además de instrucciones específicas para crear mezclas de los mismos.
