 The best essential oils reference book in the English language! April 3, 2008

For owners of previous editions of the Essential Oils Desk Reference, this new and expanded edition will be a treat. The black and white photos have been replaced by full-color photos and this edition includes new essential oils from Ecuador.
For beginning oil users or for people who are ready to switch from recreational essential oils to therapeutic grade essential oils, the Essential Oils Desk Reference is the single best essential oils reference work in the English language, in my opinion. Medical doctors refer to the Physicians Desk Reference and serious essential oil users refer to the Essential Oils Desk Reference.
For the beginner or for people who have been buying other essential oil books, the 588 pages of this book can seem overwhelming at first. When I'm teaching people how to use it, I divide it into five main sections.
1. Introduction
2. Essential Oils and Essential Oil Products
3. Education
4. Health Issues and Essential Oil Recommendations
5. Appendices and Index
Most people use parts 2 and 4 most.
The quickest way to get started is to begin with the index and look for the essential oil or health issue that interests you. If multiple pages are given, look first for the page listed in bold.
People of all ages are using this valuable book. I know teenagers, moms, and even people in their 80s who refer to the EDR on a regular basis.
The EDR is based on the assumption that you are using therapeutic grade essential oils, so please do not try some of its recommendation unless the oils you are using are at least AFNOR or ISO certified. Therapeutic grade essential oils are ideal. If you are using essential oils that merely have "pure" on the label, you're doing so at your own risk.
I keep my hardcover edition of the EDR within reach in my office and the smaller spiral-bound edition in my briefcase. At the time of this writing, Amazon does not yet carry the smaller version of the new 4th edition, but they probably will very soon.
Here's the bottom line: In this single volume, you will find almost everything you want to know about safely using essential oils for yourself and those you care about most.

This book is full of scientific information on the purity of essential oils and how to tell the difference between adulterated oils and pure therapeutic grade oils. It teaches the use of Young Living essential oils as following the French model of usage being that of ingestion, topical application and inhalation. Very safe guidelines for safe usage are well detailed so that anyone can teach themselves how to use them. This book covers subjects such as single oil data, oil blends, dietary supplements containing pure essential oils, the health benefits of Ningxia Red wolfberry juice, cleansing the body, hormonal balance, Raindrop massage technique, and there is a comprehensive section from A to Z on almost every health problem and how to use Young Living essential oils to help with these.
It is well written and claims are backed by research studies. I do not believe it would be wise to apply the information in this book to the use of oils other than Young Living's essential oils for reasons which will become obvious when studying the opening chapters about the importance of purity. This book should be used by all those who want nothing but the best information on how to use pure essential oils for complete health of mind and body.

If you are interest in Young Living Essential Oils, this is the book for you. It describes everything from how they are made, their link to modern medicine, the science behind them, what each oil can do, how to use them, and about all the products they make. It gives you so much information and knowledge about essential oils that I really couldn't find elsewhere.
Very pleased with the book and use it quite often.

I have been using Young Living Essential Oils and products for several years. This book is a must for anyone who uses Young Living products. It is well written, easy to understand and offers a wealth of information as to how to best use the oils/products for a variety of health issues. It is especially helpful for someone just starting with the YL oils and is unsure of how to use them. An invaluable resource!!!

Over the past 2 years I have been on a quest for alternative health methods and practices which did not involve use or digestion of harmful chemicals. As I began to explore the use of essential oils I was turned on to this book by a Young Living Essential Oil consultant. I recently purchased this book and have found it to be extremely helpful. I absolutely love this book. It is detailed from front to back covering the proper use of the oils, the properties and benefits of the oils and what the oils are good for. For the experienced or the novice EO users this book is a must have. In fact this book is so great that a natural healthcare professional was very impressed with it after browsing it at my home. I am sure she has purchased her very own copy because I have recommended this book to so many people for purchase from Amazon because of the price and value. The content value of the book far outweighs the price.
