HYDROSOLS: The Next Aromatherapy Ref: BT68

Suzanne Catty

Hydrosols is one of the most anticipated books in the world of holistic health because it introduces a revolutionary new use of essential oils in aromatic treatment. Hydrosols, or hydrolates, are the pure, water-based solutions created when essential oils are steam distilled. Through this process, a potent, yet subtle form of medicine is created, one that is able to be ingested as well as applied directly to the skin, unlike most pure essential oils. In fact, hydrosols are considered the homeopathic version of aromatherapy, and as such are ideal for use with children, animals, and those with fragile immune systems. Suzanne Catty details the specifics of 67 hydrosols, provides formulas to treat more than 50 health concerns, and offers 40 delicious recipes in which hydrosols can be used. Her section on pets will help owners deal with urinary tract and digestive problems as well as grooming and odor issues. She also shows how hydrosols can be used with other forms of vibrational medicine and with feng shui, geomancy, and dowsing.

Philippe Mailhebiau

Here is the first English-language and shortened edition of Philippe Mailhebiau's monumental La Nouvelle Aromatherapie. The key-stone of this book is in the 24 monographs of major essential oils, presenting each oil as an individual entity with detailed and precise characteristics. An understanding of the personality profile of an essential oil makes it possible to relate its olfactory affinities to the individual. From a therapeutic point of view this approach opens the door to personalised treatments that go beyond the scope of symptomatic Aromatherapy, combining efficient physiochemical action with a decisive psychosensory effect.

THE SCENTED APE Biology & Culture of Human Odour Ref: A809

David M Stoddart

Both men and women devote time and effort to removing natural body odour and replacing it with sexual attractant odours derived from plants and animals - we seem to need to smell of something other than people! Yet of all the apes, we are the most richly endowed with scent producing glands. This book examines the sense of smell in humans, comparing it with the known functions of the same sense in other animals. Odorous cues play a role in sexual physiology and behaviour in animals and there are claims that odour can play the same role in humans. The place of odours and scents in aesthetics and in psychoanalysis serves to illustrate the link between the emotional centres and the brain. The book presents arguments to explain the way in which our ancestral past has given rise to our modern day olfactory enigmas. The material is presented with as much explanation of the technical detail as possible to make the book accessible to a wide readership
