This is an excellent reference book for using essential oils in clinical practice or for self and family care. Its written for professionals with tons of research cited, albeit much of it is amateur research- from Jane's own students- like me! Maybe mine will be in a future edition? I know I'll be using this book for years, there's so much to learn about the safe use of essential oils. There are also some good suggestions for future research.

In this third edition of Jane Buckle's Clinical Aromatherapy each chapter is peer-reviewed and the entire volume is meticulously cited. Dr Buckle has really outdone herself with a book that every professional aromatherapist should read!

A great textbook with excellent references and proven scientific studies. However, as an amateur user of essential oils, I only wish there had been more practical advice on diluting the oils.
