The Fragrant Pharmacy by Valerie Ann Worwood

Valerie Ann Worwood explores aromatherapy and essential oils in a substantial reference organised around home and personal care. The book discusses oils obtained from flowers, leaves, roots and other plant materials, setting out the author’s approaches to their use. This is a vintage guide to the subject, useful for readers interested in the history and practice of aromatherapy rather than a substitute for current medical advice.
