Customer Reviews

This is a staple book.
Of the many superb books that I have and use on Essential oils, this is the one I reach for the most. It's thorough, consise and accurate accounts of each oil give me a qick and profound reminder of the information I need for professional use or at home. I adore this book and always recommend it to my students and customers for beginners or advanced levels. Whether it's the first or last book you'll buy on Aromatherapy I know it will be a valuable manuscript for you.

An essential working book
This book, along with Julia Lawless' The Complete Illustrated Guide to Aromatherapy has become so essential in my every day work, both professional and home.

It is easy to follow and you can find a remedy or synergy for just about any complaint. It lists the most useful oils and gives alternatives where possible. The recipes are also great with plenty of alternatives (its not practical to have every oil on hand.)

The section on holiday and first aid is great - this book and my oils go everywhere with me.

Not very educational.
I am very new to the world of aromatherapy. I thought this book would give me more information on the how the essentials oils would work with each other. I also was looking for more information on how to make my own beauty products. This book gave a lot of recipes but dealing more with medical disorders. I was surprised that all of the recipes only had 3 ingredients. For some of the natural products that I have purchases, most have a lot more than 3 ingredients and I know good results can be obtain from only 2 ingredients as well. I rated this book a 3 because it had a lot of recipes not because of the additional content in the book. This book was somewhat helpful on some of the essential oil history (which I had already known). For the most part, the book did not meet my expectations.
