MARGUERITE MAURY’S GUIDE TO AROMATHERAPY: THE SECRET OF LIFE AND YOUTH: A MODERN ALCHEMY

Book ID/图书代码： 11340008B29550

English Summary/英文概要： Marguerite Maury’s famous book, was first published in France in 1961 under the title, Le Capital ’Jeunesse’ and was translated into English in 1964. The language is a little old-fashioned now, but the message and the personality of the author come through quite clearly. In France, Marguerite Maury had single-handedly re-restablished the reputation of aromatherapy but in Britain only orthodox medicine was taken seriously and any alternative therapies were viewed with considerable scepticism. Her book, as a result, didi not reach its maximum audience nor did it receive the credit it deserved.

"Now, however, with aromatherapy so well established and so familiar to many, the book can be re-assessed as the valuable reference book it is. A gold-mine of research, it contains information on a vast number of topics-health, beauty, diet, cooking, herbs, essential oils and treatment."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是摩利夫人的著作，第一次于1962年以Le Capital ’Jeunesse’为书名出版于法国，1964年被翻译成英文。本书的语言风格偏向老式英语，但是依旧能够十分清晰地展现作者的人格魅力及其想要传达的信息。在法国，摩利夫人独自一人重振芳香疗法的声誉。但在英国，只有正统疗法得到了认真对待，而其他替代性疗法遭到怀疑。因此，摩利夫人的书籍并没有最大限度的被读者接受，也没有得到应有的荣誉。 “然而现在，芳香疗法已经十分完善，许多人也很熟悉这种疗法，这本书被重新评定为珍贵的参考用书。这本书正如可以用作研究的宝库，它涵盖了健康、美丽、饮食、烹饪、行草、香精油以及疗法等多方面内容。 (LNL)

"It is a book which should be read and referred to by practitioners and students alike, as well as by all those who benefit from the therapy."---Danièle Ryman

About the Author/作者介绍： 摩利夫人是一位颇具传奇色彩的人物，她是芳香疗法的先锋。她的丈夫E.A.Maury博士曾写道：“她对那些鲜为人知的研究有着科学好奇心，因此，她以开拓者的品质获得了无可争议的荣誉。”

摩利夫人于1895年出生于澳大利亚，在维也纳长大。她的父亲、幼子和第一任丈夫均在一战中去世。他的父亲是一位著名的知识分子，并且支持画家Gustav Klimt。摩利夫人获得了护理学位和手术助理学位（这在当时是女性可以在该领域获得的最高学位）。当她在阿尔萨斯和一名外科医生一起工作时，她读了一本由Chabenes医生所写的书，名为Les Grandes Possibilitiès par les Matières Odoriferantes（出版于1835年）。Chabenes医生后来成为芳香疗法的创造者之一Gattèfosse的老师。这本书变成了摩利夫人心目中的权威之作。摩利夫人后来遇到了Maury医生，他们对音乐、艺术和文学有着共同的兴趣。最重要的是，他们都在寻找其他可以治愈病人的替代性疗法。他们在法国定居，并研究出了顺势疗法、物理疗法、正骨疗法和神经根麻醉疗法。他们成为了卓越的搭档，在一起研究和创作书籍。就在这时，摩利夫人诠释并证明了香精油对神经系统和人类健康的影响。通过多年的研究和实际应用，她发现了活性区芳香粒子的价值，并以科学的态度记录下了活性区芳香粒子的作用。

她在欧洲以此为主题进行演讲并举行研讨会，并在巴黎、瑞士和英国创办了芳香疗法诊所。

Marguerite Maury was the legendary pioneer of aromatherapy. Her husband, Dr E A Maury wrote that: ‘She had a scientific curiosity towards research which was little known, if not ridiculed by the great minds of the day. She subsequently gained indisputable fame through her pioneering qualities.’
Marguerite Maury was born in Austria in 1895 and brought up in Vienna. Her first husband was killed in the First World War and she lost both her father and young son. Her father was a well known intellectual and supporter of the artist, Gustav Klimt. Marguerite obtained a degree in nursing and for a surgical assistant (the highest a woman could attain in that area at the time). While she was working with a surgeon in Alsace she read a book: Les Grandes Possibilitiès par les Matières Odoriferantes, by Dr Chabenes (published in 1835). The author later taught Professor Gattèfosse, one of the founders of aromatherapy. The book became Marguerite Maury’s Bible.
Marguerite met Dr Maury and they shared the same love of music, art, literature and above all their aim was to aim to heal through alternative ways. Living in France, they explored homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy and radiesthesia. They formed a remarkable team working, researching and writing books together. It was at this time that Marguerite developed her research work to demonstrate and prove the effects of essential oils on the nervous system, their influence on the well being of people.
Through her years of research and practical application, she discovered the value of the active zone aromatic particles and recorded the effects with scientific probity.
She lectured and gave seminars on the subject throughout Europe and opened aromatherapy clinics in Paris, Switzerland and England. It was in Paris we first met and I came to work with her, then moving to work in the London clinic.
