Great book full of fascinating info. Would have been a 5 star if it had had some of the newer oils! Definitely a must read for all Essential Oil users!

[Stephanie Castle · Rating 5 out of 5]

After hearing some of the authors audios I wasn't confident that the claims to come would be accurate. However, It was way more conservative than I expected and in line with Aromatherapy as a practice. I am very impressed with the safety section and that it was promoting a respectful approach to essential oils and their applications. It is respectful of all three school of thoughts and I will definitely recommend this book to anyone starting out!

Reading other reviews about this book, I agree that the author, and own of Young Oils, does not go beyond the line of oils that is carried by the company. Yet, this has become my go to reference book for all my ailments. This book has helped me to learn and know about the various properties of essential oils, what mixes well with companion oils, and how best to use or apply the oils. Others books that I have purchased end up,on a book shelf, but this one I keep near by. Even though i may try other solutions from various books, I always compare them to the solutions in this book.
