In addition, sales for books in the “Finding Happiness” category rose 83 percent over that same span.

There’s A Lot We Can We Learn From The Past That Might Help Us With This Anxiety Problem And More! I asked Dr. Nadim Shaath to join me today. He is a world renowned expert in Essential Oils who spent 25 years compiling his amazing tabletop book (and one of my favorite possessions) called “Healing Civilizations: The Search For Therapeutic Essential Oils and Nutrients”. The book just won two HUGE awards A Bronze medal in both the 2018 PubWest Book Design Contest and 2017 Foreward Indie Award for the Body, Mind & Spirit category. I learned from reading it you can nix anxiety with the aroma of NEROLI OIL which calms the anxiety center of your brain.
Healing Civilizations is the culmination of Dr. Shaath’s personal journey around the world over the past twenty-five years, seeking out and rediscovering essential oils and therapeutic ingredients used since antiquity. In his travels with award-winning photojournalist Thomas Hartwell, he scoured the world for the secrets of the past, searching for time-tested natural remedies that were recorded in early pharmacopeias, etched on temple walls, or handed down orally. Meeting with farmers, scientists, industrialists, healers, and historians, they uncovered ancient treasures of natural healing practices and ingredients. Dr. Shaath chronicled their discoveries across time and geography, analyzing dozens of ingredients and techniques using modern instrumentation and cataloging the data in usable and practical form.
A reference manual for practitioners in the fields of aromatherapy, essential oils and perfumery, Healing Civilizations is a guide for those interested in natural healing and reversing the trends caused by the environmental damage done to our planet and our overreliance on synthetic ingredients, products and pharmaceutical drugs.
