BOOKS BY DONNA GIBBS
You can follow Donna's passion for herbal gardening and aromatherapy in Hydrosols: Aromatherapy's Emerging Star and Aromatic Herbal Gardening, available on Amazon.
HYDROSOLS: AROMATHERAPY'S EMERGING STAR (INCLUDES RECIPES FOR HEALTH, HOME AND BEAUTY)
This book is about my personal journey after discovering the world of Aromatherapy 30 years ago. I developed a passion, to learn more about the healing powers of the herbs and flowers that are steam distilled and produced into essential oils and hydrosols.
This desire to educate myself led me to the realization that the hydrosol, the liquid byproduct of producing essential oils should be sitting right next to the essential oil in importance. My ultimate goal is to share my world and show the reader how they can enhance their lives by bringing this natural way of living into their lives.
AROMATIC HERBAL GARDENING: GROWING YOUR OWN AROMATIC HERBS
Have you ever wondered how to design your own herb garden; plant, grow, maintain, harvest, and dry those herbs for culinary and home care uses?
This book is about Mother Nature and her part in supplying us with an abundant supply of material to entice us to use our imagination, experiment with and discover how she can best serve us. I emphasized the information with pictures and sketches from my own photography to share how gorgeous nature is. My hope is that you take away an appreciation for herbs, flowers, and natural remedies.
