In the early 20th century, French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse coined the term 'aromatherapy' after stumbling upon the healing powers of lavender oil. But Gattefosse had merely rediscovered what traditional oil healers had known for centuries-essential oils can enhance the body, mind and spirit. In this booklet, Rhonda PallasDowney discusses the history and benefits of aromatherapy and provides recipes so you can make your own essential oil blends at home.
