Rose, a leading herbalist involved in aromatherapy, adds historical lore from Chinese alchemy and botany as well as western botanicals sources, enhancing what we know about these substances. Rose describes medical properties and uses, and provides new information about hydrosols, what she calls "the homeopathy of aromatherapy," a true synergism of herbalism and aromatherapy.
