Aromatherapy Science: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals
Alternative Medicine Aromatherapy Integrative Medicine Medical Textbook Healthcare Reference Clinical Pharmacology Evidence-Based Practice
Aromatherapy Science: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals (Pharmaceutical Press, 2006) is the evidence-based textbook that nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists and integrative-medicine practitioners have been searching for. At 462 pages, Maria Lis-Balchin’s hardcover reference filters folklore from pharmacology, presenting peer-reviewed data on 92 essential oils, their chemical constituents, contraindications and safe dosing ranges. Unlike consumer aromatherapy books, this clinical manual cross-references each oil with current drug interactions, pregnancy precautions and paediatric or geriatric adjustments, making it indispensable for writing care plans or answering patient questions with confidence.
What sets this copy apart is its immaculate, smoke-free condition—crisp pages, tight binding and no ex-library markings—ideal for daily desk reference or ward consultation. The durable hardcover is built to survive constant page-flips in hospital libraries, student backpacks or busy clinic shelves. Because the 2006 first edition is now out of print, a well-preserved copy like this is increasingly sought after by collectors and professionals who want the original data tables without later revisions.
Buyers value Lis-Balchin’s unique bridge between complementary therapy and mainstream medicine: every recommendation is footnoted to peer-reviewed journals, giving practitioners the citations they need for evidence-based practice audits. Whether you are updating a university syllabus, expanding an integrative-health program, or simply want the most authoritative aromatherapy reference on your shelf, this clean, sturdy copy delivers both credibility and long-term utility.
