   Marge Clark of Nature's Gift is such a person. I'd heard a bit about Marge's story, and have read her posts on various internet lists, but I wasn't ready for who the lady turned out to be in real life. A soft spoken woman who speaks with great care, she fairly floats through her environment.
   
   The conference entailed several round tables where attendees shared information. They were all quite informative, but a round table with Marge was somehow enchanted, because she sees the world from such a clearly positive aspect.

   The reason our favorite herbs emit their unique fragrances is because their leaves and blossoms contain essential oils.These volatile compounds concentrate not only odors but healing properties.Whatever your favorite herb, it's likely to produce an essential oil through steam distillation, pressing, solvent extraction, or carbon dioxide extraction.Once you find where to buy it, you can put it to work via topical application, inhalation, or diffusion.
   
   For years, Nature's Gift founder Marge Clark has educated and entertained web browsers and customers at naturesgift.com.Her practical knowledge, skill, concern about quality, and common sense make her descriptions, observations, and recommendations a self-contained aromatherapy crash course.Now she has condensed a wealth of information into an attractive hard-cover book illustrated with gorgeous color photos.
   ...
   As Clark explains, essential oils should be stored in colored glass bottles to protect against degradation caused by exposure to light and labeled with the plant's common name, utilized plant part, botanical species, country of origin, method of cultivation, and method of production."This is the absolute minimum that should be on the label," she writes.Reputable suppliers know the provenance of their oils and are usually happy to share additional details.
   
   Clark recommends diluting all essential oils in carrier oils (vegetable oils), which she selects as carefully as she does essential oils.Several pages of descriptions conclude with a convenient measurement chart showing how much essential oil to add to a fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) of carrier oil for blends of various strength.
   
   After reviewing the many ways in which essential oils can be utilized, Clark lists several safety concerns and then delves into the art of aromatherapy, a lengthy section of recommended uses with specific instructions.Whether you want to use aromatherapy for the bath, skin care, the relief of aches and pains, or to repel insects, kill germs, heal wounds, blend a massage oil, blend a signature scent, or just make the room smell wonderful, she provides formulas and instructions.
