perfect for a beginner aromatherapyist

This is a great book filled with recipes for the diffuser, inhaler, cleaning and body products - all to make yourself. It gives a great list of essential oils you'll want to start with and the resources has a list of all the essential oils referred to - both scientific and common names.
I would have like to see a section on substituting essential oils, being able to use this oil instead of this, especially when it's a less common or more expensive oil.
A must have for every essential oil diy'er.

I have the PDF/eBook version downloaded from Aromahead Institute.

This book is a must have for any aromatherapy lovers. Andrea writes in easy to understand and inspiring tones you want to jump in and start blending. The information is better than beginner basics. Andrea covers basic Aromatherapy 101 for the student & enthusiast. The recipes are excellent and cover all different types of uses for home and living. I can not wait to start making some of these, TODAY! Warning; this book may be good for your life and rock your scents!
