Quick Reference Guide for 114 Essential Oils

by Monika Haas
This guide is meant to provide quick reference for aromatherapy users in all stages of experience. Its structure is based on the concepts of French Medical Aromatherapy, establishing a connection between the main components of an essential oil and its pharmacological properties, as well as on empirical data. Oils with a high alcohol content, for example, are observed to be tonifying, whereas those with a high aldehyde content as sedative. By listing the established facts in short tables, this guide aims to make the selection of the right essential oils quick and easy, whether the purpose is for recreation or treatment.

aroma The International Magazine for Essential Oils
We are pleased to present the first issue of aroma. The international Magazine for Essential Oils. Lavender is the theme of the debut issue.

The hard cover aroma will be a collector’s periodical with a different theme for every issue. aroma is unique, combining the topic of smell with visual appeal. The editorial content embraces all aspects of the essential oil phenomenon from scientific and cultural to mythical. The second issue will capture scents, images and culture associated with the essential oils of Morocco.

One of the editorial goals of aroma is to shed light on the authenticity of essential oils by giving recognition to their source and their identity.

aroma goes beyond the common denominator of mediocrity and searches out the oils of distinction. aroma features the women and men who distill true essential oils. In our opinion the best way to establish identity (and consequently provide the best assurance of authenticity) is by telling the story of the culture and region where the plants are grown and also of the passion of the individuals who distill them.

But aroma goes beyond matters of essential oil authenticity. aroma is fueled by an ambition to find visual representation of the cultural fabric into which aromatic plants have been woven throughout history, to illustrate the rich heritage of aromatic plant medicine in its natural environment.

Among other topics, aroma #1 features Lavender distillers of Haute Provence and Drôme, medical renegades successfully treating Hepatitis C with essential oils and some notes on the history of the Lavandin surrounded abbey of Senanque, an image found in every Provence travel guide.

Essential Oils and Cancer
Proceedings of the 4th Wholistic Aromatherapy Conference, San Francisco, Nov 10-12, 2000.

New Perspectives:

Essential oils are more powerful tools than even the most ardent enthusiasts have imagined. Recent research demonstrates the antitumor effects of numerous essential oil components through in vitro experiments with breast, lung and pancreatic cancer tissue as well as melanoma. The surprising effectiveness of Vitex agnus castus is demonstrated in an impressive survey of 35 women using it for PMS and/or menopausal problems.
