Jean-Pierre Willem, M.D., is the founder of the French Barefoot Doctors movement, which brings traditional healing techniques back into clinical settings. The author of several books in French on natural healing for degenerative diseases, he lives in France.
“Alzheimer’s, Aromatherapy, and the Sense of Smell thoroughly
decodes and describes Alzheimer’s disease, its complexities,
potential causes, consequences, and considerations. Relating to
current research and personal and professional experience,
Jean-Pierre Willem presents a clear, easy-to-assimilate holistic
overview of this debilitating condition in a way that is honest,
enlightening, and especially hopeful, revealing both supportive and
preventive strategies to proactively engage. As well as exploring
the associated cognitive and emotional virtues of familiar
essential oils, such as rosemary, lavender, and frankincense,
Jean-Pierre also introduces less commonly known exotic oils that
are native to Madagascar-- such as butterfly ginger, grains of
paradise, and herbe des rois (herb of kings)--to provide an
invaluable repertoire of useful essential oils and synergistic
blends. This timely book is a valuable resource, not only for those
affected by Alzheimer’s disease but also for anyone interested in
maintaining their cognitive alertness, function, and
well-being.”
