Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit: Restoring Emotional and Mental Balance with Essential Oils
Published: 2000
Page Count: 190
Price (USD): 19.95
From the foreword: “Traditional Chinese Medicine is a massive edifice, built of painstaking observation, practice and skill. Making this inherently complex subject accessible and real, and at the same time merging it with the practice of aromatherapy, is no easy task, but one which Gabriel accomplishes with clarity and confidence. Every page draws the reader inexorably in to an intricate web of holistic truth. There is a complete rationale for selecting essential oils appropriate to the needs of the whole person, and many aromatherapists will find this ancient yet novel approach an enlightening one.”
Robert Tisserand about the author: “Gabriel and I have known each other for several decades, and we have hosted each other at live events.”

Ayurveda & Aromatherapy: The Earth Essential Guide to Ancient Wisdom and Modern Healing
Published: 1955
Page Count: 366
Price (USD): 21.95
Amazon reviewer: “An excellent book that is informed with an outlook that can only come from a working professional. Includes some sound scientific principles – down to how the size of the dropper bore will affect what you measure out. They even cover some basic chemistry though I’m glad there was only one chapter on that. The information includes dilution charts, blending tips and a comprehensive section on carrier oils as well as the in-depth profiles of a number of essential oils. Appropriate safety precautions are included. Each chapter has a worksheet at the end to allow you to test your own understanding of the preceding information.”
