Clinical Aromatherapy: Essential Oils in Healthcare 3rd Edition

Great book. Provides a great clinical application. It provides a list of medical studies, an extensive reading list, and basic properties of essential oils, so that one can understand the components of essential oils, including diagrams of the molecular structures, etc. In Chapter 15, i.e., more than ten different mental health disorders are studied, backed with research, scientific studies, double-blind studies, etc. Even Bipolor Disorder.Not only does this include all relevant studies but in Chapter 10, Pain and Inflammation, not only are essential oils used in treatment of pain, but the authors also address varied pain components, such as the physiology of pain, the etiology of pain, approaches to pain, varied narcotic and opioid drugs, NSAIDs, Steroid drugs, etc. There is a whole chapter called Essential Oil Toxicity and Contraindications. And this is not the kind of information I have found in many books on Essential Oils. There is enough information in this book for the skilled therapist to really understand all they need to to prepare for a career in this industry.

Dr. Buckle has done an outstanding job of delivering the facts about the use of aromatherapy. Well-organized, thorough and meticulously documented, this will be the "bible" of essential oil use for years to come--for healthcare professionals and consumers alike.Aromatherapy is a fast-growing market, and there are many bad actors spreading misinformation. This guide will help you make thoughtful and safe decisions about how to use aromatherapy for your improved well being, without the radical and false claims that are prevalent in the market.An easy and pleasant read, if you want to know the scientific and medical facts and trace the scientific literature about this important wellness modality, there is no alternative.

This book is excellent. I am a pediatric occupational therapist and have been very interested in utilizing complementary approaches with my clients but never was able to because I just felt there was not enough research out there to back up it. But when I came across this book, I was thrilled. Dr Buckle provides study after study of the effectiveness and uses of essential oils as well as contraindications. This book serves as a bridge between conventional and complementary medicine and rehabilitation and I am thankful for it.

An excellent resource, especially for peer reviewed research. PRICY though. I would love to have this on Kindle as well, but there is no book reciprocation for this title. I am hoping the author will allow that at some point so I don't have to purchase the Kindle version which is also pricy.

So happy to get this, already using it in clinic practice! Very practical and wonderful to have evidence base to back up my already deep appreciation for essential oils. I have used aromatherapy in childbirth education for many years, and certainly have used it with my family. Now in clinic practice Thank you Dr Buckle! Virginia Smith, DNP, FNP-C
