[Antony Simpson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essential Oils by Susan Curtis is an essential book to own if you’re serious about aromatherapy.

This durable hardback has 256 glossy pages of full colour with plenty of photos. It has an A-Z of essential oils, for each oil covering:

An introduction
What it is good for?
Best Uses
Methods of use (i.e. bath oil, massage oil, compress, skin care, etc.)
The Plant
The Essential Oil (how the essential oil is made)
A photo of the plant or herb
Then the book goes on to sections on: Base Oils, Essential Oil Recipes and Healing Remedies.

The Essential Oil Recipes includes a really useful table of common conditions and which oils are good to work with around these conditions.

This book is backed by Neal’s Yard whom are famous for their shops selling essential oils.

The only thing that was missing out of the book for me was spiritual/magical uses of essential oils. But other than that I would (and have to all of my friends) highly recommend this book.

Neal's Yard is a brand I have loved for many years and the books published are just as spectacular. Giving you so much information on essential oils, from the oils themselves and the plants, to creating beautiful recipes. Anyone can follow this, it's super easy to read.
