Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am a newbie to this list and thought I would introduce myself. My name is

Betsy and I am a real novice when it comes to aromatherapy, but I am

interested in learning more.

 

I am currently getting my master's degree in Pastoral Counseling. I am

interested in learning more about aromatherapy for my own personal use, but

also because I am interested in it's value as a " complementary " therapy for

my clients. I have particular interest in those EOs that are helpful for

depression anxiety, mania, etc.

 

I have 2 questions to start things off:

 

1. Are there any books list members have found particularly useful? I am

interested in books that would provide a lot of info on different oils,

their qualities, therapeutic benefits, and different administration methods.

 

2. I understand that heating oils (as in votive candle diffusers)

diminishes the therapeutic benefits of EOs. What are some good " cold "

diffusers and where would I get one?

 

Thank you for your time,

Betsy
