Summary

The idea of the book came from the crisis in British farming that suddenly demanded that farmers diversify in ways that were both sustainable and ecologically sound. The book starts by providing an enthralling history of essential oils through the ages - from the Pharoahs To The present day. it then shows farmers and budding essential oil producers exactly how they can benefit today from clear, practical advice available nowhere else. What equipment to use? What is the expected outlay? What essential oils can be distilled and what products can then be made from them? What are the expected profits? All these questions and much, much more are addressed in an easy to read, light-hearted format. From armchair enthusiasts to inquisitive farmers, Bruce Dolby's book offers a delightfully amusing read as well as the knowledge to get started.

Excerpts

Smelly people have been around for a long time. I can't prove it of course, but it's a pretty safe bet to assume that B.O. goes way back into B.C. And then a fair bit more. Clever anthropologists are now able to deduce from a chipped molar and dollop of resinous pollen that the Neanderthal man in question died in his 40's in the middle of March and had suffered from rickets and an early form of bird flu: So how long will it be before they can say with certainty that prehistoric Lucy had halitosis? Or that the Peat Bog Man was actually strangled by his wife who could no longer stand his revolting feet? After all, they have still got the remains of his boots to look at. Where there's a whiff there's a way - And The only way to overcome the foul and fetid was to use a nice niff as a counter - i.e. pleasant perfumes to obliterate the sulphurous stench. Hence, The evolution of man - leading inevitably and immediately To The production of essential oils and perfumes. I stink, therefore I am.
