From Booklist

Scented oils have been around for centuries, and the Schillers are strong believers in the benefits of using pure essential oils–diluted in a carrier oil, such as sesame–to relieve stress and a myriad of other disorders (communication enhancement and cellulite reduction among them). As Aroma lamps, which disperse the vapors, become readily available in shops, more people may choose to experiment with aromatherapy in their homes. Other uses for these formulas include adding oils to bathwater, for massage, in body powders made with cornstarch, or in candles. It’s interesting to just page through the alphabetical section and learn the purported advantages of oils from allspice (Pimenta officinalis) to ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata). Alice Joyce
