There is so much to know about essential oils and hydrosols, and the field of aromatherapy is expanding every year. New companies, classes, and conferences are constantly being created, and new research is being done. It’s a very exciting time!
Once you grasp the basics of blending your own products and using essential oils safely, the ways aromatherapy can support your own life can keep expanding too. The information and recipes in this book offer you an excellent place to start. You’ll also find a few resources for continuing your own learning on the next few pages.
For me, aromatherapy has been a lifelong journey. It has led me to new professional opportunities and wonderful friends, and to beauty I would never have experienced if not for the plants, oils, and amazing people who work with them. I’ve been on this path for a long time, and it still feels as though there is more to explore.
I feel so honored to share my love of essential oils with you in this book. May it help support your own precious journey!
