Taschenlexikon der Aromatherapie

Aromatherapy is an independent field of phytotherapy. It has long been established in other European countries, but is only slowly being discovered in the German-speaking area. Dietrich Wabner has made significant pioneering contributions here and has compiled the scientific foundations regarding the effects and efficacy of aromatherapy.

Based on scientific literature, he presents in this book nearly 180 clearly structured monographs on the most important essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils. General information on the origin and production of essential oils and waters, as well as their pharmacological composition, is complemented by a clear compilation of the spectrum of effects, areas of indication, and warnings. Each monograph is completed with a detailed scientific bibliography.

In this way, the reader is shown the therapeutic potential of aromatherapy, which extends far beyond its previous use, especially in nursing, intensive care, and palliative medicine. Additional areas of application include pediatric and adolescent medicine, oncology, and even the prevention and treatment of antibiotic resistance. This pocket lexicon is an indispensable reference work for anyone who wishes to use aromatherapy in practice and care with quality assurance.
