This is a great book for someone trying to learn about essential oils without being product or company specific. I was disappointed to see so many reference books written by or for specific brands of EO companies and have been seeking literature that is informative and unbiased. This book was well organized and I expect I will refer to it often in the future.

I just checked out this essential oils reference guide from the library, and 2 days later I walked into B&N to find it on sale for $9.49. HECK YEAH! :)

This is a great tool for anyone in love with natural remedies and their essential oils. It's a huge book, but the health and healing solutions are plentiful. I can't wait to refer back to this every time I need something. (And most ailments list 2 remedies.)

Best reference out there for single oils. Simple. Thorough. Its THE reference book for me.

[Tasha Driver · Rating 2 out of 5]

I would hardly call this reference guide complete. Only basic info is given and it's not set up in a very practical way. I still had to go to the Internet for some answers. For example, if you are having allergies, HOW MANY drops of eucalyptus and lemongrass should you add to the diffuser per 100ml of water. Info like that is truly "essential."

Worthwhile read for beginners and intermediate essential oil users alike!

This is a bible. Perfect for beginners. I keep it handy downloaded to my kindle.

[Jessica Donegan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok, as far as it went but not as inclusive as the title implies. I noticed overlap in recipes and wording with other books by this press (probably not helped by the fact I read the two books in such a short span I could remember the pages plagiarized from one book to the other).

There is a pretty extensive list of potential symptoms and 2 potential cures. Although one of the cures is often to apply lavender, peppermint, or tea tree oil neat, so not much in the way of recipes or scent blends. Also, can we just stop recommending a 'neat' treatment of essential oils? If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't want or need a book, there's literally nothing to explain to this style of treatment. Instead I'd just want a book that heavily details an essential oils' qualities.

And this book doesn't have a lot of details on the essential oils and it doesn't profile that many oils.

Some stuff I'd like to see in these style books that I'm not getting include: the inclusion of scientific studies regarding either the oils or a chemical component found in the oils or go the other route and build a rich folkloric historic use of the oil. Tell me about the people who used this and the anecdotal results that have build a following. Right now I spent a lot of time reading about what lavender can do with absolutely no reasoning either scientifically or societally. Instead of feeling inspired, I feel more empty--searchign for an element that all of these style books seems missing.

Good book! Basic introduction to some of the less common essential oils, as well as solid information about some of the most common essential oils. I appreciated the emphasis on safe use although some of the warnings in this book contradicted with those I have previously researched. I also found some of the instructions to be lacking detail - such as when the book stated that an essential oil known to be a dermal irritant and to irritate mucous membranes is okay to use in the bath. So I would have appreciated better usage information in the individual essential oil profiles.
I strongly recommend making lots of notes while reading this book. I like that there are two sections to the book - "recipes" indexed by the problem they are treating, and the profiles of the essential oils.
Overall, I give it 4 stars. Lots of information, but somewhat lacking in detail regarding the use of individual essential oils. Added to what I already know, and the resources I have to do further research, I found it helpful and informative. My personal preference would have been to leave out a few of the less useful and more dangerous essential oils and give deeper information on the remaining essential oil.

I have recently got into essential oils. I have used it to help clear my colds faster and keep allergies away. Before I get into this book, I will say use with caution. This is in no way to replace a doctor or any medical professional.

This book is okay. It offers some basic advice in terms of oils and the author tends to use some more than others. I also noticed how for some issues, there are many ways to go about treating them. This is great so I can have a choice.

For me, I like the soaking in a bath option best. I find it so relaxing. Having this option for me often is amazing. I am not really into taking the oils by mouth either.

As a personal note, I found using Google to be most helpful. However, I do not always have access to a computer. Having flipped through this book, I do like having it around the home. Overall it is not the best resource, but a great starting point.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and were in no way influenced by outside sources. I am a professional blogger at Little Lady Plays

This is a huge, comprehensive guide for everything regarding essential oils. I make solid perfumes using essential oils, and I've been looking for a guide indicating possible medicinal benefits to using certain oils in my perfumes.

The book is broken up into two parts, the first details homeopathic remedies, sorted by malady. The second half is an alphabetical list of essential oils with details on uses, precautions, and suggested pairings.

In all, this is a great reference guide for anyone wanting to learn more about essential oils.

Very Informative

I am just delving into the essential oil world and I felt that this book was excellent in introducing the various facets involved. It is written in a way that everyone can understand and very informative! ! I feel much more knowledgeable about this having read this book!!

[Atlas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Informational recipes for holistic oil treatments that are easy to understand/create for beginners.

I've tried recipes for headaches, motion sickness, general nausea, and anxiety that have helped tremendously!

I would recommend for readers who are searching for an essential oil recipe book full of basic home remedies.

I was gifted this amazing book by my partner's grandmother after she heard I was starting down the rabbit hole of natural homemade cosmetics. I read it in four days as most of the information is different recipes that you can tweak for your own use. I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanted to create their own lotions, salves, and natural medicines.

[Janice L. Kiefer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent reference guide

I find this a very useful guide to using EO. It's is thorough & has excellent information i details about all the aspects, uses, precautions & more. Highly recommended.

[Hilton Meyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I should have read the title a bit better. This is a reference. There are some great recipes for ailments and also a more in depth of each of the main essential oils. i was looking for more of a guide of how to go about blending and working on my own recipes. Still a great guide though.

[Tonya Hardin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel the book is very interesting, helpful, and over load of information that is helpful. I like to know more about certain recipes. But this gave a great insight to a beginner like myself to understand the good and bad of using the oils and how.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]
