Description
Floral Absolutes by Candice Covington is a comprehensive guide to working with and experiencing plant absolutes. Known as one of the most concentrated forms of fragrance, floral absolutes hold a cherished place in natural perfumery and aromatherapy. They offer significant healing effects for the body, but their true strength lies in their impact on emotions and spirit. Created through a gentle, heatless extraction process that captures the aromatic signature from delicate plant materials, absolutes convey the synergistic story of the plant through its scent.
This book provides profiles for more than 25 absolutes, from aglaia to violet leaf, exploring their presiding influences and key energies. It includes myths, poems, and stories that evoke the subtle qualities of each absolute directly to the subconscious, offering a deeper, intuitive understanding of how to use each plant and its absolute. Additionally, the book examines the subtle and physical gifts of dozens of essential oils, over 50 fixed oils, and 30 other natural ingredients that can serve as bases for absolute and oil blends.
Candice Covington explains her unique system for working with absolutes, centred on viewing the body as made of story and emotions. She details the reasons for applying certain oils or blends to specific parts of the body. The book also shares 85 recipes for making blends for specific conditions and teaches how to intuitively create blends that reawaken us to ourselves and reconnect us to the greater story of Nature.
