Review
"This is the kind of book within the field of complementary medicine that stimulates the reader to consider more objectively no only complementary medicine but also "orthodox" medicine and so become a more thoughtful practitioner." -- British Journal of General Practice
'As a practitioner of aromatherapy I found the book provides an interesting view of the changing attitude of the medical profession to complementary therapies, of the way some therapies have developed to cope with this and the possible future for complementary medicine.' -- Journal of International Society of Professional Aromatherapists
'One of the most insightful, well researched and readable books to have emerged on a subject that has caused much controversy ever since orthodoxy took precedence over "other" forms of medical practice.' -- Journal of Osteopathic Education and Clinical Practice
