Like most of pamphlets in the "Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin" line, this is short. It IS a pamphlet after all. So, of course It's not the most in depth book on massage ever written. However, it is fantastic for the price and as a basic text for beginners.
I am not trying to be a professional masseuse, I was mostly hoping for some massage techniques to help me out with my plantar fascistic. I found that contained in this book. Technically, the technique that will be the most helpful to me is a combination foot soak and exercise. It is a variation of what my physical therapist suggested I do, but somehow seems more enticing as it requires me to soak my feet in hot and good-smelling water. Mysteriously, an exercise seem like les of a chore--luxurious even--when it involves sitting down and relaxing.
I'll also most likely do the self-scalp massage, as well.
A short summary of what this book contains:
1) Basic step-by-step instructions on how to do specific massages: scalp, foot, hand, face, and full body.
2) recipes to make your own lotions, creams, and oils for a variety of body parts. Everything from hair to feet is covered.
3) a basic introduction to reflexology.
What it *doesn't* have is a bunch of info on aromatherapy oils specifically. It's not a list of what each oil does or doesn't do. This pamphlet tells you to select an oil that either you like the smell of or that serves a specific purpose (or both) and then gives you instructions and basic recipes to use those oils in.
Again, for the price it can't be beat.
