Publisher's Synopsis
Essential oils are known for their use in aromatherapy and alternative medicine. They're made from the highly concentrated scents of plants, herbs, and flowers, which are steamed or pressed to extract the "essence" out of the plant. Fans of essential oils say they have health benefits including stress relief, energy and mood boosting abilities, for use as digestive aids, and even as topical agents for pain relief. But while herbal remedies have been used for centuries, many of the potential benefits touted as natural solutions have yet to be proven in scientific studies, or have not yet been approved by the FDA for therapeutic use. And for cat owners, it's best to use caution around essential oils, since eating or being exposed to many essential oils can actually be toxic to cats so A Scent-Sitive Subject and Your Cat will help you.
