I IMPORTANT NOTICE
The recommendations outlined in this text are intended for practitioners trained
in Oriental Medicine and the use of essential oils. ~ndividualswithout proper
training should not attempt toward self-treatment without qualified medical
supervision. Nothing in this book should be construed as a promise of benefits
or of results to be achieved, or a guarantee by the author of the safety and
efficacy of its contents. The author disclaims any liability, loss or risk incurred
1 directly or indirectly as the result of the use ofapplication of any of the contents
1 of this manual.
To the ~eaders:
This manual is a collaborative effort by numerous students from coast-to-coast in the
compilation of idonnation that I have presented in previous workshops/seminars on
essential oils. It represents a basic materia medica and as such, is not an exhaustive
work. Utilizing the most common language ofChinese medicine -TCM -the material is
presented based on patterns while the specific protocols that are outlined generally reflect
more of my own approach. Upon the requests of colleagues and students within (he
Worsley tradition, I have also included some applications dial I believe will be quite
useful in their work.
The content of ibis book imparts my own interpretation based on my empirical findings,
clinical use, and readings from (he aromdmqy field. I have focused mainly on me
most common essential oils c u d y available in the market today. In addition, other
data pertaining to these o h may have be neglected due to disagreement, lack of
validation from actual application (on acupoints), andor pure ignorance. I invite readers
to update me on the topic and to share with me their own findings so that the common
bond of helping our clients will have greater possibilities. -
White I have explored the psycho-emotional effects that essential oils possess in my
lectures, I have chosen to omit this topic in this compilation. The main reason being that
it is important to better understand how to work with each individual psyche within
Oriental medical perspectives - which is currently lacking.in the training of clinicians.
As such, the use of essential oils without mat kind of training can potentially be
detrimental to tile clients. And I do caution the readers who may be easily influenced by
the number of aromatherapy books in the market that deal with this subject
Thus, this text is not intended to serve as a teaching tool on how to use essential oils. It is
assumed that the reader is already familiar with essential oils and more importantly,
concepts and theories p&g to OrientalMedicine. The point selections are primarily
tased on points that activate yuan-source qi (e.g., yuan-source,mu-alann, shu"transport),
channels that are intimately related to yuan-source qi (i.e., Kidneys, Triple Heater), and
meridian systems that will directly affect yuan-source qi (i.e., Divergent and Eight
Extraordinary Vessels). In some cases, points not belongingto these categories may have
been included due to their effectivenessbased on TCM.
Lastly, please note that all applications outlined in this book is for TOPICAL
EXTERNAL USE ONLY (and in most cases, as dilutions), unless otherwise stated. I
would also suggest not using the same oils constantly but rather following a rotational use

I hope the readerfclinician will benefit from the recommendations that I have outlined
here as much as I have enjoyed creating and working with the oils.
