 Outdated and dangerous August 10, 2003

While it is fairly well known in the aromatherapy world that the French tradition is much more aggressive with their use of essential oils (higher concentrations, more internal use of oils) than the English, it should be better known worldwide that essential oils are HIGHLY toxic for cats and birds. A single drop of many essential oils can kill a cat or bird! Grosjean's book not only recommends the use of undiluted essential oils on cats (which, as we know, are likely to lick off anything put on their fur, this turning a topical application into an internal one), but advocates the use of extremely toxic oils such as sassafras and very strong dilutions (as much as 33% to 50% instead of the more common and safer 1-5%). Grosjean is often referred to as a "woman of passion" - I'd prefer to see her as a woman of reason and caution. We humans can make informed decisions about the use of products dangerous to our health (as smokers and drinkers and junk-food eaters do every single day) but our pets are completely at our mercy. We owe it to them to be cautious and thoroughly educate ourselves on what we intend to do to them.Kristen Leigh Bell's "Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals" is a FAR better and more up-to-date book that I recommend instead of this one.
 A totaly animal related aromatherapy book! February 17, 1999

Nelly Grosjean has a "classical" approach to Aromtherapy. This book takes the reader directly to the topic at hand, how to care for a cat, dog, horse, bird, and farm animals; using aromatherapy. It is understood by the author that the reader has a background in Aromatherapy; pages aren't spent on basic background subjects. Great resource for animal care.
