About the Expert
Fiona McKay is a trained aromatherapist who has been practising for the last twenty years. She became fascinated with alternative medicine as a young child after her grandmother started to teach her how to use herbal teas as an alternative to over the counter drugs. This fascination with herbal medicine led naturally to a love affair with essential oils as Fiona got older.
Having seen the effectiveness of aromatherapy in her own life and in that of the people she has treated, Fiona decided that she wanted to pass on some of the knowledge that she had learned over the years.

Introduction
For millennia man has relied on the natural kingdom to heal what ails him. Essential oils are one of Mother Nature’s most potent gifts. Not only do the compounds within the oils produce very real physical benefits, but the very scent of the oils produces very real psychological benefits as well.
This synergy was first discovered by the ancient Egyptians and the benefits of aromatherapy are constantly being confirmed by modern science.
Aromatherapy, when used properly, can be a powerful tool when it comes to leading a healthier, happier life. In this book, I will teach you how to use essential oils safely and effectively. You will learn about the top ten oils, how to properly mix and dilute them, how to apply them and what you can use them for.

Chapter 1: The Therapist’s Cheat Sheet
When you first start out, you may be tempted to buy just about every oil you can get your hands on. Considering that there are hundreds to choose from, this is going to be counter-productive. In this chapter, we will go through what you should look for in an oil and also my top ten favorite oils to help narrow down the field a bit.
Liking the Smell is Important
It does not matter how beneficial the oil is if you cannot stand the smell. You will end up wasting money on a bottle of essential oil that you seldom, if ever, use. When I first started experimenting with aromatherapy, I bought Patchouli oil, despite not liking the smell – I only ever opened the bottle once.
An oil that you love the smell of, on the other hand, is something that you will use often and one that will have an uplifting effect on your emotions every time you use it.
When you find an oil that you like, look for others within that same family of scents – for example, Lime oil is a citrus oil – there is a good chance that you will enjoy other oils within the same family.
The Real Never-Ending Story
Start off by getting two or three different oils at first – you will be amazed at how long one bottle will last you. Because you use only a few drops at a time, it is better to stick to some tried and tested favorites initially. When you have practiced with using
