Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
A guide to working with and experiencing plant absolutes
• Provides profiles for dozens of absolutes, exploring their physical and emotional healing properties as well as myths, poems, and stories that evoke the experience of plant absolutes
• Explains the author’s unique system for working with absolutes centered on viewing the body as made of story and emotions
• Shares recipes for making absolute blends for specific conditions and teaches how to create blends to express specific feelings
One of the most concentrated forms of fragrance, cherished in natural perfumery and aromatherapy, floral absolutes offer important healing effects for the body, yet their greatest strength lies in their effects on the emotions and spirit. Created through a gentle heatless extraction process that coaxes the aromatic signature from delicate plant materials, absolutes convey the synergistic story of the plant through its scent.
In this book, aromatherapist Candice Covington provides profiles for more than 25 absolutes, from aglaia to violet leaf, exploring their presiding influences and key energies. She includes stories, poems, and experiences that convey the subtle qualities of each absolute directly to the subconscious&&&8212;giving you a deeper, intuitive understanding of how to use each plant and its absolute. She also examines the subtle and physical gifts of dozens of essential oils, more than 50 fixed oils, and 30 other natural ingredients that can be used as bases for absolute and oil blends.
Using her unique treatment system centered on viewing the body as made up of story and emotions, she explains why you would apply certain oils/blends to specific parts of the body. She also shares 85 recipes for making blends for specific conditions and teaches how to intuitively create blends to reawaken us to ourselves and reconnect us to the greater story of Nature.
“In Floral Absolutes, Candice Covington has written something rare: a book that teaches not just about plants but about presence. Her work is an invitation to return to the wild, fragrant intimacy of being&&&8212;a realm where scent becomes a story, and the story becomes healing.”
