INTRODUCTION (#ulink_821500e6-e215-5848-9f6c-d2465c74c6f3)

Firstly, I would like to explain my reasons for the title of my book, and apologize to all those men who have said to me ‘What about aromatherapy for men?’ Of course, aromatherapy is not only for women: it is for any human being – woman, child or man – and also for animals, in certain circumstances. I chose the title as there is a large proportion of the book relating to pregnancy, childbirth and gynaecological problems, which are only pertinent to women, but there is much information contained in the book which will be of benefit to men, especially the section about ‘Aromatherapy and the immune system’ (Chapter 6 (#litres_trial_promo)).
