Staff Picks: Favorite Books
By CP Staff
The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy
by Valerie Ann Worwood
According to Day, “There are tons of introductory aromatherapy books out there that can teach you about lavender and tea tree, and give you basic recipes for massage oil and room spray. If, when you are done with those, you want to go deeper into the study of essential oils and their therapeutic uses, then pick up this book. It is more fully packed with practical information and insights into healing with essential oils than any single aromatherapy book I’ve read over the last 10 years. Addressing hundreds of ailments and body care issues, this book offers a strong grounding in the practice and scope of aromatherapy.” ($19.95)
The Ayurvedic Cookbook
by Amadea Morningstar
Julie says, “I have recommended this book many times to folks who want an introduction to the vast subject of Ayurveda. It’s really two books in one, first providing a concise explanation of the principles of Ayurveda, then offering simple recipes and insights into particular foods. The recipes include options for adjusting seasonings and ingredients for different seasons and health issues. If you like food and want to learn to use vegetarian ingredients to suit your constitution, this will become a well-worn reference.” ($17.95)
Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina and Stress Relief
by David Winston and Steven Maines
Carole raves, “Adaptogenic herbs are amazingly adept at moderating the effect of stress both on a systemic and cellular level. Long known for their role in adrenal support, adaptogenic herbs have become the ‘go to’ plants for life in a stressful world. Winston and Maines have created a well-researched and practical resource for those wishing to gain a broader understanding of these phenomenal plants.” ($18.95)
