Aromatherapy Awareness at its best!!
In honour of ‘Aromatherapy Awareness Week’ I’d like to review my most recent book purchase!
“The Natural Approach to the Poisons” by Jane Lawson. Jane is my long time teacher/mentor/ colleague and friend!! She is an absolute wealth of knowledge about all things aromatherapy based.
When we say poison we thing of hemlock and deadly nightshade. ☠️ However Jane looks at some common essential oils that people may use often such as cinnamon, ginger, citronella and lemongrass. She explains why they have more contraindications than benefits!
The book also explains about some that are often confused such as eucalyptus citradora as the least safe eucalyptus. Bay which isn’t as safe as bay laurel and sweet birch being dangerous as opposed to tar birch. Often people thing they are the same and purchase the wrong one!
The book is summed up for me in the quote “They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should!” Just because it’s been made into an essential oil doesn’t mean it’s safe to use.
This is a valuable book for every aromatherapist as well as enthusiastic home users too!
To purchase either contact Jane on the link below or purchase from Amazon on this link -
