Now in a brand new Forth Edition, this classic text - which for many years has proved an indispensible reference for complementary therapists using massage in their discipline - has now been carefully updated, considerably enlarged and newly presented.

This book is still usefully divided into clear, easy-to-use sections, but each now contains far more information. There are 60 vegetable carrier oils discussed in detail, with useful tables, a glossary, a cross-reference chart of common ailments, a thorough index, a discussion of essential fatty acids and their impact on bodily health, and other valuable appendices.

Also new for this edition is the inclusion of a wide selection of culinary recipes created to combine the therapeutic value of the carrier oils with flavourful, simple-to-prepare, healthy meals.

A bible for all complementary practitioners and a veritable storehouse of knowledge for anyone interested in increasing their understanding of carrier oils, this celebrated book - the first of its kind - is unmissable.
