At long last, Aromatica Volume 2: A Clinical Guide to Essential Oil Therapeutics, Applications and Profiles is now available. This is the companion volume to Peter Holmes' invaluable and highly praised Aromatica Volume 1 that was published in 2016.
Within the first part of Aromatica Volume 2, Peter Holmes provides an insightful look at essential oil uses and delivery methods, clinical use of essential oils and he presents an intriguing perspective regarding the vitalistic and analytical approaches to the use of essential oils.
Much like with Aromatica Volume 1, the heart of Aromatica Volume 2 consists of an enormous 403-page Materia Aromatica section that includes detailed profiles for 42 essential oils (refer to the Table of Contents below for a list of the oils). Although many books showcase single page (or less) profiles for numerous essential oils, Peter Holmes, focuses upon quality and depth of information for the selection of 42 essential oils featured. When this volume is paired with its sister volume, Volume 1, you have 72 in-depth essential oil profiles at your fingertips. Each profile comprises several pages and is organized into the following sectional format:
