 Truely an informative book March 12, 2006

Don't be fooled by the fact that this book is small in size, if you have an interest in aromatherapy or simply want to add to your knowledge of it, this is the perfect book. When I got this book I read it cover to cover without ever once getting bored and when I was done I was ready to try everything in it. The author not only covers how the oils effect the body, but the intensity levels with wich oils are stonger in smell, wich will last longer on the skin and warnings as to wich ones should not be used and why. The book is 400 pages long, illustrated on glossy paper with great photos. It includes recipes for making massage oils, fragrances for the skin, oils to use durring meditation, how to meditate, how to give a massage, wich oils to use in baths, lotions, in daily skin care and its all very easy to follow. I suggest this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in essential oils. You wont be dissapointed.
Awesome book with lots of information and recipes December 20, 2006

This book attempts to cover so many different issues that some are barely touched upon and mainly ignite your interest to look elsewhere for more information. For example it mentions essential oil evaporation rates and odor intensities which is rather useful to know when creating your own blends, but it only offers this information for 12 essential oils. So if you'd like to know more, you'll have to look elsewhere for such information.
On the other hand, there are tons of recipes for adults, for babies and for elderly people; for skin care, for alleviating different mental, emotional and physical health problems, etc. There are suggestions for different ways of applying essential oils - from inhaling, to adding drops in a bath water, using in in massage.
The book goes even beyond discussing merely the properties and applications of different essential oils and offers helpful tips and techniques for meditation, stress relief, how to perform different kinds of massage, etc.
At the end of the book is a Directory of Essential Oils, where the properties of about 40 - 50 essential oils are described.
A Must Have! March 24, 2007

A wonderful little book that I couldn't put down till the last page. Most of the essential oils used are common and relatively inexpensive. Tips for oil and massage use for all age ranges, first aid tips, meditations. All all-purpose, must-have for those just getting started and for the serious minded in using essential oils and massage for health and wellbeing.
the guide August 3, 2007

As the title of the book implies it is a guide. It doesn't imply it is the be all and end all in aromatherapy information. It gives a great overall understanding and a wonderfully basic place to begin one's start into Aromatherapy. I found the book to be of invaluable information. In fact, this book is one of my text books for a college level aromatherapy course I am taking. Combined with Valerie Cooksley's Aromatherapy: Soothing remedies to restore, rejuvenate and heal, it is a great asset to any Aromatherapy library.
