With all publications, the vast majority of information is referenced
to medical, scientific and related publications.

All files are now MAC & PC compatible but not Android compatible. All titles are now only available in English USA-ize format. If a customer needs a printable A4 (UK-ise) version in 'MS Word' these will be retained for special requests. Due to the high cost and hassles involved in mailing CDs overseas I am changing distribution methods. Now I will email everything in .zip files attached to emails. The largest file size is about 9 megabytes which most servers now can deal with. Most of the files are around 4/5 megabytes. If a server or individual can't service that size and still wants a CD I can still do that, but would rather not, plus it saves you money. I can also add the files to my server for you to download on an individual basis. PLEASE NOTE: All .html or .exe files in colour are text copy & print disabled. Only the original Word.doc versions in black and white can be printed. Please refer to terms of trading on the Ordering page. |

anyone is interested in the .html publications removed from general
sale, please email for details: • Natural Beauty manual. • Herbal Remedies manual. • Scent of flowers book. • 1887 massage book. • Herbal illustrations CD. |
Essential
Oil Monographs
Professional
version
By Martin Watt
This information resource took ten years to compile. It is probably the most accurate collection of the properties of 57 Essential Oils ever published. I collated every piece of information of direct relevance to the subject that I could lay my hands on. This information is far superior to that obtainable from on-line databases. The reason is because it is extracted from the whole research papers and not just the on-line abstracts. Reading the whole papers enabled me to:
| 1. Determine if the research methods are faulty, or so bad that the paper should not have been published. Those who assume that the peer review systems used by scientific publications stop such poor research being published are living in cloud cuckoo land. |
| 2. Determine what type of plant extract was used, i.e. herbal water extract, distilled oil, or what. |
| 3. Determine if the results are applicable to aromatherapy and similar uses - often they are not. |
You will not find a lot of information where therapeutic uses or safety of an oil have been based entirely on their chemical composition. Some chemicals are mentioned, but only where sound references could be found on their relevance.
As a qualified herbalist, this helped me to differentiate between the therapeutic claims made in aromatherapy books based entirely on herbal extracts, or on the essential oils from the same plant.
The 'Word' version pages are packed with information mainly in 12 point single spaced format. Some oils may only be 3 pages long because I could not find sound therapeutic information on them. Others, such as Rosemary, are 15 pages and almost a book in themselves.
If you would like a sample monograph please ask.
Please note: With a few exceptions, these files will not be supplied to aromatherapy schools or teachers running most trade approved courses, or suppliers making the usual illegal and dangerous claims.
