Dr E. Joy Bowles - a woman of passion...
Explaining how aromatherapy works is my abiding passion, focusing on the pharmacology and chemistry of essential oils and their interaction with human biology. I love sharing information, and seeing the 'Ah-hah!' moments ignite in my students' eyes...
Current focus
My most well-known book is "The Chemistry of Aromatherapeutic Oils", in which I share my knowledge of what essential oils are from a chemical point of view and explore the many ways they interact with humans. The book has been used as a text in many aromatherapy colleges round the world. In 2020 I released "Dr Joy's Aromatherapy" which is my current statement on how I think aromatherapy should be used, with an emphasis on the evidence-base required for safe and effective use of essential oils. Both books are available on Amazon, or from my store - I'll even sign them for you, if you like.
As Dr E. Joy Bowles, PhD, BSc Hons, author, educator and speaker, I offer workshops and webinars on aromachemistry and pharmacology of essential oils, as well as leading the Aromatherapy Journal Club and an active Facebook discussion group on essential oil ingestion.
My recorded webinar series:
How Essential Oils Work (12 sessions)
Refreshing Chemistry (2 modules - 5 and 12 sessions each)
Inside Aromatherapy (8 sessions)
are available through my teachable learning platform eo-education.teachable.com.
