"Aromatree" is more than just a simple dictionary of essential oils; it is an unprecedented aromatherapy masterpiece that weaves together the science and art of fragrance.
Salvatore Battaglia, with over 30 years of aromatherapy education and clinical experience, has developed an original concept called Aromatree™, a “family tree of fragrances,” by integrating the biological classification of plants and the action of their aromatic components.
This book, which systematically explains the mechanisms of action of essential oils, their interaction with the emotional and nervous systems, and the principles of blending, provides powerful insights and practicality not only for aroma professionals but also for those who use scent as a tool in various fields such as mind-body healing, counseling, naturopathy, and meditation.
