The Chemistry of Aromatherapeutic Oils is a practical and enlightening resource that introduces the reader to the science and chemistry of essential oils. Written in easy-to-understand language, The Chemistry of Aromatherapeutic Oils should be considered as a resource for students and practitioners who want a deeper understanding of the chemistry and constituents behind the essential oils commonly used in holistic aromatherapy. This book will also appeal to aromatherapy enthusiasts who have no background in chemistry. Offered as a paperback, the dimensions of the book make it more convenient to handle than traditional hardcover textbooks. E. Joy Bowles works in Australia and this work was published there (See the About the Author section below). Some topics and statistics are presented with an Australian audience in mind (i.e. statistics offered within the A brief overview of the essential oil industry section of the book).
