Essential Oil Quick Start Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Start Using Essential Oils Safely and Effectively
Essential oils can have wonderful effects — if they are used properly. The trouble is, many popular essential oil blogs and Facebook groups share unsafe, incomplete, or dangerous info.
"It's a kind of online game of broken telephone," says John Bejakovic, author of the new book Essential Oil Quick Start Guide and the host of the popular aromatherapy blog Unusual Health. "Sometimes this misinformation is wrong but harmless. Other times it can be dangerous. "
In his new book, Bejakovic has consulted more than a hundred essential oil science papers to find out what essential oils can really do. He has also collected the advice of some of the most respected aromatherapy experts, including Robert Tisserand, Jade Shutes, and Robert Pappas on safe essential oil use. His book will show you:
7 recommended companies to buy essential oils from, and 12 scam companies NOT to buy from
The trouble with using drops as a measure in essential oil recipes, and how to get around this
How buying oils on Amazon can get you involved in a class-action lawsuit
The truth about "therapeutic grade" essential oils
The good and the bad about buying organic essential oils
Essential Oil Quick Start Guide is divided into three parts. The first part will quickly get you up to speed on the basics — what essential oils really are (and why that matters), where to buy them, how to store them, and how to use them safely and effectively. This part will show you:

Why GC/MS testing is not conclusive when it comes to determining the quality of an essential oil
The second part will then go through 52 scientifically proven uses of 5 common oils: lavender, blue chamomile, peppermint, orange, and tea tree. This section will also walk you through how to use each of these oils — and some blends of those oils — for specific health issues. It will cover:
A 3-part essential oil blend to use at first sign of cold sores
2 common essential oils for stronger, faster-growing hair
How to deal with an overactive stress response with a Vicks-style inhaler with lavender and orange oils
An essential oil "shampoo" that's been shown in clinical studies to reduce dandruff by 40%
How to relieve eczema using a gentle essential oil blend and a special carrier
Finally, the third part will show you how you can really use essential oils by yourself, now and in the future. This section will go over:
What to do if you try essential oils — and they don't work for you
What functional groups such as esters, terpenes, and alkenes can tell you about the activity of an essential oil
How long you'll have to wait before seeing the effect of essential oils for
