"An illuminating exploration of aromatherapy!"
Janey Lee Grace, Author and Broadcaster
In a world where mental health challenges are on the rise, Essential Oils to Ease Anxiety: The Alchemist's Guide to Serenity offers a beacon of hope and clarity. This ground-breaking guide, the fourth installment in an award-winning series on essential oils, combines decades of academic research, hands-on practice, and deep experiential insight to provide an indispensable resource for anyone seeking natural remedies for anxiety and emotional wellbeing.
"Over the recent ten years, there has been a growing emphasis in the mental health profession on the importance of encouraging a healthy lifestyle alongside medical care. This is coupled with the recognition of the value of promoting self-care, resilience and empowerment as safe, effective and cost-effective approaches to be integrated into individualised treatment for depression and associated anxiety disorders. Integration is indeed the key to success and aromatherapy beautifully and safely complements standard psychiatric care practices.
This text by Heather Dawn Godfrey is therefore very timely. Heather is well placed to write on this topic. As with her previous publications, through her well researched information and easily accessible writing style, she guides and enables the general reader to take positive, pragmatic, doable steps towards improving their own mental health. Through her longstanding experience as therapist, educator and award-winning author, Heather provides simple tools and strategies for priming and maintaining an inner locus of balance and control."

This book is an illuminating exploration of aromatherapy! I felt as though I'd been invited into a realm where the essence of nature meets the intricate workings of our mind, body, and spirit. Heather is clearly an alchemist and has a profound understanding of the power of essential oils and the transformative potential they hold within every drop.
I learnt how essential oils transcend mere fragrances to become potent allies in our quest for holistic well-being. Drawing from ancient traditions and modern science alike, she intricately weaves together the threads of history, spirituality, and healing to create a tapestry of wisdom that resonates deeply with the soul. This is a book to remind us that within the embrace of essential oils, we can find solace, healing and a deeper sense of wholeness.
