RM666.A68 W57 2002 2001056598 615’.321—dc21 Book design by Renato Stanisic I dedicate this book to my mother, Genie Stuart. For all your generosity, goodness, help, kindness, love, and support, I thank you. Acknowledgments To my readers , I offer my gratitude for your patronage over the years. Your curiosity, your quest for knowledge, your passion to improve your lives, your desire to take care of yourselves and others, and your support of aromatherapy and essential oils inspire and motivate me forward on this fragrant path that I chose to follow. I feel blessed that your needs and desires allow me to combine two of my great loves—writing and aromatherapy. I thank you for the opportunity to have an impact on your lives. You validate my endeavors to educate, to share, and to make the world a healthier and happier place. You help me keep the flames of hope and faith burning in my heart that someday, somehow, we will live once again in a paradise where peace and harmony prevail. The field of aromatherapy attracts many wonderful people who are willing to share their time, expertise, and experiences with others. I especially appreciate the gracious assistance and patience of Robert Gaffney and Nicole Syme at Omega Nutrition, and Kurt Schnaubelt and his staff at Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. Your integrity and your commitment to quality and consumer education symbolize the aromatherapy experience for me. I thank my family for always supporting me and for indulging me when necessary. Being a writer is challenging, but I suspect having a writer in the family is an even greater challenge. I especially am grateful to my mother and my sister for helping me prepare the revised manuscript for publication. I am forever indebted to the many pioneers of modern aromatherapy, who revived the almost lost art of aromatherapy. Without their tireless efforts, none of us would reap the rewards of using essential oils. In my work, I strive to keep alive their life work and to fulfill their dreams of sharing with the world the value of true aromatherapy using essential oils.
