Aromatherapy for Animals
At long last, the aromatherapy community finally
has a reliable text that focuses upon animal aromatherapy. Kristen
Leigh Bell is probably the most recognized expert in the safe utilization
of aromatherapy with animals.
Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals acts
both as a reference as well as a readable textbook (216 pages).
The text begins in Section 1 and 2 with helpful introductory information
that includes ascertaining essential oil quality, understanding
the chemical constituents of essential oils and other pertinent
info. Kristen Leigh Bell's presentation and writing style are informative
and intriguing, and I appreciate her emphasis on safety issues.
Section 3 contains profiles for 52 essential oils and 10 hydrosols.
All profiles are oriented towards their uses with animals. Each
profile contains a section for method of distillation, part of plant,
production, color, scent, dominant chemical group and a lovely illustration
of the corresponding plant. Sections four through eight each focus
upon a different animal group, and she includes a variety of recipes
and case studies. Section eight and the appendices provide additional
practical reference information for finding essential oil/ingredient
suppliers and other helpful resources. I found myself wishing that
the book had an index. The effective organization of the book, however,
minimized the inconvenience caused by the lack of an index.
