  “Aromaterapia – Aroma e Psique” by Peter and Kate Damian is one of the releases published by Editora Laszlo during CIAROMA III. In this book Peter and Kate Damian explore aromatherapy and reveal how it can be used to uplift almost every aspect of our lives—from aromatic lavender massages and tea tree oil baths, to treating high blood pressure and depression with the use of of ylang-ylang. As the only sense that extends directly to the brain, smell is an essential component of our mood, memory and appetite. It is also fundamental to understanding sexual compatibility and the protective instinct a mother has for her child. But which specific scents are most effective in therapeutic and ritual settings? How do men and women differ in their responses to odors? What is the relationship between the essence of the plant and the human aura? “Aromatherapy – Aroma and Psyche” deals in depth with the effects of aromatherapy on the mind and emotions. With a complete exposition of the ancient aromatic practices of China, India, Persia and Egypt and a modern scientific understanding of the psychology of aroma, this is the perfect guide to using essential oils for psychological and physical well-being! In this work you will also find the profile of forty-four essential oils, with specific instructions for creating synergies and applying the benefits of essential oils in your daily life!
