If you are wanting to learn more on the benefits of Essential Oils and other natural tools (Young Living supplements, ect) this is the book to own. This book taught me so much and I still use it all the time.

I call this my Essential Oil bible!

Pocketbook with a huge list of illnesses and problems, and which oils to use. Straight-forward, easy to use. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it's put out by a private company, many of the comments are refering to their own blends (which I don't have!).

Must have!

in depth and helpful. Scientific names. Uses. Oil Properties. Not a fly-by-night resource. Solid research.
